PAYDAY 2 FBI Files. Heist Database. Known locations the Payday Gang have been. Harvest and Trustee Bank. Armored Transports. Hoxton Breakout. The Bomb Dockyard. The Bomb Forest. Hoxton Revenge. The Alesso Heist. Golden Grin Casino. First World Bank. Slaughterhouse. Beneath the Mountain. It wasnt always like this, Don Santora told me. And it wasnt supposed to be like this. Santas Workshop. Goat Simulator. Scarface Mansion. Brooklyn 1. 0 1. Green Bridge Four Stores. There have been several hits on these four stores in an otherwise quiet downtown neighborhood. The MO of the perpetrators has been to execute a rapid hit and run, aimed at emptying cash registers and getting out fast. My Notes Hard to see what Bain stands to gain from this, so I suspect it is as much a favor to keep a contact sweet. This area has deep connections with the Russian community, so it is possible that these four stores are caught between two squabbling Russian mob bosses. Jewelry Store. The Payday gang have hit this one a number of times. Washington is full of stores like this. They can be easily entered at the front and back, and are small enough that a well rehearsed crew can quickly nullify any resistance. My Notes Security in these places is laughable, but when theyre operating so close to the profit margin, what can you expect An increase in local patrols might give us a faster heads up if the Payday gang pay a visit. Ukrainian Job. This appears to have been a jewelry store job, similar to many others committed, though the goal was very specific a diamond tiara secured in a safe. This tiara was being held for Dimitri Volkov, and was apparently intended to be worn by his wife at their wedding. My Notes If it wasnt for the people who might get caught in the crossfire, Id be happy to let these mobsters take shots at each other over their petty squabbles. Mallcrasher. Based on the security footage, this appears to be an act of focused vandalism. The stores in the mall were specifically focused for damage, rather than theft. My Notes Not the typical job for Bains crew. Got to be another motive behind this. Look into who stands to lose, and who stands to gain, from the damage here. Harvest and Trustee Bank. Harvest and Trustee Bank has branches all over Washington. They are generally single storey constructions, with heavy rear doors, roof access and cameras that are controlled from a locked security room. Most branches will employ three or four security personnel, and teller staff are trained to lower shutters in the event of a robbery. My Notes Forget H R doing much to put their house in order. I recommend the construction of new training facilities for our teams, model them on these banks. Harvest and Trustee dont seem likely to change their security, as all their losses are covered by the federal government anyway. Nightclub. The Tasteful Club is a routine stop for our patrols on Saturday nights. The calls are mostly related to drunk and disorderlies. Owned and managed by Dimitri Volkov a known snitch who handed Vlad Kozak to the authorities we also suspect that it hosts illegal gambling. It appears that the Payday gang stole a large sum of money from the safe in the managers office. My Notes Normally, I wouldnt give two hoots for gangsters shooting each other up, but the Tasteful is a public place, which means civilians might get caught. And why are they targeting this particular Russian maybe a connection with a rivalWatchdogs. This operation was conducted in cooperation with Hector Morales. The Payday gang were originally contracted to provide escort for a batch of Morales coke. The real purpose, however, was for them to be in a place and time of our choosing. Unfortunately, the Bureau underestimated the gang, who fought their way out of the ambush. However, it does not appear that the gang suspected the involvement of the Bureau. Morales directed them to a rendezvous at the nearby docks, where a second attempt to apprehend them was made. My Notes If there was ever a perfect opportunity to nail the Payday gang, this was it. Packed into a van, surrounded, we should have ended this there. Firestarter. This appears to be aimed squarely at the interests of the Mendoza cartel. A private airfield that was owned by a holding company, a raid on our own regional offices and the destruction of a large cache of currency at a Harvest and Trustee Bank. My Notes Bain and Crime. Net are all over this but I suspect it is a contract job. The Sinaloan cartel have been warring with the Mendozas for years. Are the Sinaloans linked with Bain Big Oil. Professor Rossy suffered a serious burglary at his secluded laboratory. He is a highly respected physicist, who has spent years trying to convince the scientific world of the viability of cold fusion the cheap generation of enormous amounts of power without radiation. The mansion that houses his laboratory is in a remote area, and not easy to reach. My Notes I smell the spoor of the Hill on this one. From what we can gather, Prof. Rossy was on the verge of something truly remarkable. If he has finally made a breakthrough, it would be worth a lot to the right or wrong people. This one might lead me to a tasty catch, possibly proving Crime. Nets political connections. Framing Frame. The Capitol Art Gallery reported the burglary of several paintings from an exhibition of new Singaporean artists. Questioning the usual fencers dealing in such art drew a blank, but these paintings were later found in the apartment of a well respected Senator. My Notes This has dirty political fingerprints all over it, and shows just how connected Bain and Crime. Net has become. Hard to say who benefited the most from this. The fallout saw a shake up that had Capitol Hill playing musical chairs. Im sure one of those senators, congressmen, governors made good on this. I suspect this was the work of the Payday gang, which shows they have the brains to hatch a political scandal unseen since Watergate. Rats. A number of high ranking Mendoza cartel members were assassinated while being escorted out of the country under armed guard. These South Americans had cooperated with our field agents, and a deal had been worked out that would see their safe passage in exchange for information on the Sinaloan cartel. It is possible that this assassination was also linked to two other incidents a meth operation in a forest shack, and a shoot out in a neighborhood ruled by The Cobras gang. My Notes Another war between the cartels. These things get bloody, fast, and, even though theyre shooting at each other, we have to practice zero tolerance. The Mendozas were almost in bed with the Bureau too. The failure to protect them not only means we lost a valuable contact, were also going to find it harder to convince any other rats in the future. Diamond Store. Despite the great wealth on display, the Gioielli di Famiglia protected its expensive store with only a modest amount of security. The building had several ways in and out, cameras controlled by a well equipped security room and several guards. My Notes Perhaps they thought that bringing their Milan chic to the heart of downtown would keep them safe from the Payday crew. If anything, this proves that Bain and his boys are willing to hit absolutely anywhere. This wealth of easily fenced stones made it a natural target for the Payday gang. Armored Transports. Crime. Net has coordinated multiple hits against Gen. Secs armored trucks all across the city. The jobs are well planned. Hits have included the use of cranes, truck cabs and planting explosives to blow up downtown skywalks. My Notes Based on the fact that Bain is planning against moving convoys, there is almost certainly a leak in the Gen. Sec operation. This indicates that Bain may have operatives within that organization. I recommend assisting Gen. Sec in any way we can to help plug that leak. Train Heist. Civilian trains are often authorised to carry sensitive military equipment, providing they can provide the appropriate security. This train was stopped by hacked signal boxes. It was shipping a prototype RC1 automated turret. My Notes If the army brass doesnt want to lose more of its experimental ordnance, it needs to stop handing it over to these civilian outfits. Who the hell knows what else Bain might be picking up GO Bank. Roberts Bank has branches across Washington, mostly on the outskirts. Theyre generally small buildings, serving the local community. The vaults in these branches are the smaller variety, and most often protected with a time lock. AMDs Vega Graphics Cards Could Kick Off a War. Every nerd loves a good tech war Windows vs Mac, Apple vs Android, Intel vs AMD. They give us something to armchair argue about over beers with friendsor to rant over in the comments of illustrious tech blogs. After spending the weekend playing with AMDs new Vega 6. Vega 5. 6 graphics cards, I think I can safely say an old tech war is back oneven if AMDs latest salvo feels paltry. Nvidia might be leading the discrete graphics card industry, but AMDs two newest cards are cheap and fast enough to finally compete. And that can only mean good things for PC users. Price4. 00 Vega 5. Vega 6. 4What is it Discrete GPUs that are competing against graphics titan Nvidia. No Like. Dont expect any flash. AMD, which purchased Nvidias previous competitor, ATI Graphics, has been losing the GPU war for a while. Nvidia is currently producing the majority of discrete graphics cards found in computers today. According to Jon Peddie Research, by the end of 2. Nvidia had more than 7. AMD trailed far behind with just 2. So AMD decided to focus on building cheap cards to go in cheap machineslike the 5. I reviewed back in April. The AMD Vega 6. 4 and Vega 5. Nvidia 1. 08. 0 with cheaper options that start to approximate its performance. When the Vega microarchitecture the cards are based on was announced back at CES, people didnt immediately leap out of their seats. AMD didnt have a cool hook like when Nvidia announced it had spent billions to develop its latest card. All AMD had was a promise of speed when the cards arrived this summer. Eight months later, the Vega 6. The AMD Vega 6. 4 retails for 5. AMD Vega 5. 6 retails for 4. Both also have 8. GB of RAM built in. The big difference between the two is the number of compute unitsthink of those like the cores in a CPU the more the better. The Vega 6. 4 has 6. Vega 5. 6 has 5. 6. When I compared the Vegas to the 1. I found was far less exciting that what Id hoped for. While the AMD Vega 6. Instead it was sort of like going to the car lot and having to choose between a Honda Civic or a Toyota Corolla. Theyre both very nice, cost the same, and do the same damn thing. What was really astounding was the performance of the 4. AMD Vega 5. 6. Despite being considerably cheaper than both the Vega 6. Nvidia 1. 08. 0, it played Overwatch and Civilization VI only marginally slower. The 1. 08. 0 managed 1. Overwatch on Ultra at 4. K, the the Vega 6. Vega 5. 6 pulled of 9. K with the graphics cranked to Ultra. Thats not just a little respectable, thats really damn good. In Civilization VI the difference was even smaller, with the Vega 5. Vega 6. 4. In one case the Vega 5. Nvidia 1. 08. 0, and was on par with the more expensive Vega 6. When I rendered a frame in Blender, graphics software that allows you to create large 3. D images that heavily tax a discrete GPU, the Nvidia 1. The Vega 6. 4 rendered the same frame in 9 minutes and 2. The Vega 5. 6 Just 9 minutes and 2. With that kind of neck and neck performance theres no reason to really buy either a Nvidia 1. Vega 6. 4 over the Vega 5. But speed isnt the only factor to consider when buying a discrete graphics card. See, the cards that go in your desktop PC are very power hungry. If your power supply cant provide enough juice, the GPU is worthless, and that is one place Nvidia performs far better than AMD every time. The Nvidia 1. 08. The Vega 5. 6 requires 2. Vega 6. 4 requires a whopping 2. All the extra juice means you have to use not one, but two 8 pin power connectors from your power supply. The Nvidia 1. 08. With the new Vega cards AMD is trying to get around the power constraints of it GPUs by offering some software solutions. The first, and most notable, is the Radeon Chill feature, and its actually sort of clever. It operates under the assumption that people dont really need the fastest video card, they just need one fast enough for their monitor. Both AMD and Nvidia have a technology that allows cards to sync with monitors to deliver top level graphics without straining the GPU Nvidia calls its tech G Sync, while AMD calls it Free. Sync. But you have to have a special monitor that works with the syncing technology and no monitor works with both the AMD and Nvidia sync tech. Radeon Chill works with any monitor. You simply tell it how many frames you actually want to see per second. Got a monitor that refreshes 6. Set the max to 6. Radeon Chill makes magic happen. In addition, the software doesnt try and churn out 6. Instead it recognizes moments with static visuals and dramatically cuts down on how much power is being usedand you can tweak the number as well. Want it to never go below 3. Just set the slider in the AMD software. AMD added other software features that give users a better ability to throttle their cards without diminishing visuals. Theres a power saver mode which allows you to force the cards to sip as little as 1. Frame Rate Target Control mode that lets you cap the frames per second and an Enhanced Sync mode that figures out the optimal frame to display on screen, even if it means skipping a few other frames. All these features make the AMD Vega cards feel incredibly practical versus the excess and overclocking shenanigans of Nvidia. Its as if AMD is trying to say if you want nose bleed speed go with Nvidia, but if you want control and a nice experience join us. Thats a reasonable sale to an old woman such as myself. I play my games on 4. K TVs that have no syncing technology though Microsoft suggests that could change next year and can only show between 6. I dont need dual video cards or crazy numbers, I need good enough. And the AMD Vega 6. AMD Vega 5. 6 are good enough. If youre looking for a reasonably priced card the AMD Vega 5. But these cards arent enough to lure Nvidia loyalists or the power hungry away. As the latest salvo in the war between Nvidia and AMD goes, the new Vega cards are pretty weak. READMEThese cards are neck and neck with the 5. Nvidia 1. 08. 0 in the speed department. But they natively draw a lot more power. A bevy of software features try to resolve the power issue, but it means youre effectively throttling your shiny new GPU. SPEC DUMPAMD Vega 6. GB of RAM 6. 4 compute units 1. MHz base GPU clock 4.

You kids wanna see something cool Heres a hires wireframe cutaway of the Infiniti Prototype 9, the fauxvintage electric race car concept that should be lame but. RIP, Microsoft Paint. MS Paint, the first app you used for editing images, will probably be killed off in future updates of Windows 1. Paint 3. D. Microsoft lists the 3. Windows 1. 0s next autumn update, a little X marking the end of an era. The app is certainly a relic, from a time when the casual computer user couldnt crack open Photoshop or Skitch or Pixelmator or thousands of web apps. MS Paint cant save image components as layers or vectors its for making flat static images only. It doesnt smooth lines or guess at your best intentions. It does what you tell it and nothing more, faithfully representing the herky jerky motion of drawing freehand with a computer mouse. Its from a time before touch, a time before trackpads. As more sophisticated options appeared, Paints janky aesthetic became a conscious choice. Paint became the metonym for that aesthetic, even if an image was actually created in another app. TV Tropes lists major limitations that came to define a certain look the wobbly freehand lines, awkward color handling, and inappropriate export settings that give Paint its distinctive look. In 2. 01. 4, Gawkers Sam Biddle noted Paints influence on conspiracy theory images, calling the form Chart Brut. In amateur detectives attempts at identifying the Boston Marathon bombers, the simplicity and jaggedness of Paint evokes the crazy wall aesthetic of red string and scribbled notes, apparently without irony. The same year, internet historian Patrick Davison explored Paints influence on the last decade of meme culture, particularly Rage Comics. The outsider art aesthetic feels appropriate to the relatable everyday content, and makes the art form unthreatening. Of course, Paint offered a few features to smooth things out, like the circle and line tools and the fill tool, all used in the stoner comics of the early 1. Crucially, those circles still had jagged curves. The bright colors of stoner comics are flat, as MS Paint didnt support gradients without an elaborate hack. Contrast those pixellated lines with the slick, stylish face from this art tutorial This slickness is built into Paints successor, Paint 3. D. From the moment you start sketching, Paint 3. D smooths out your art. It also supports automatic selection tools and content aware fill to rival Photoshops. By automatically improving art, Paint 3. D hides the process behind the image. Paints sloppiness is probably why rage comics got so popular. Looking at a rage comic, you can tell exactly how it was drawn, and how you might draw one yourself. By delivering exactly what the artist draws, MS Paint forms an image that the viewer can mentally reverse engineer and imitate. Unless you go absolutely nuts with it. Reddit user Toweringhorizon painstakingly assembled the drawing To a Little Radio using MS Paint tools like the oil brush, stretching the medium while maintaining a pixelated look. Its one of the top submissions to MS Paint subreddit, a beautiful collaborative art gallery. Scrolling through this art feels like flipping through the sketchbook of the most artistic kid in high school. Theres an accepted roughness, a desired minimalism. For example, the exquisite raindrops in the work above are reflected in a flat, featureless tabletop. Like a transistor radio, Paint might be showing its age, but this tenacious little gadget should not be underestimated. To a Little Radio doesnt even come close to testing Paints limits. As we say goodbye to the app that shaped an era, let us watch this bizarrely soundtracked time lapse of drawing Santa Claus in MS Paint on Windows 7 over the course of 5. Jason Torchinsky.

It could also represent an important shift for the Cupertino tech giant, as the i. Phone has not experienced an annual sales decline in any quarter since its debut. Salvatore Sam Mattera, Motley Fool, 1. November 2. 01. 5If many of AT Ts subscribers take the company up on the offer, or if the trend away from smartphone subsidies continues, Apples i. Phone business could come under pressure in the coming quarters. Salvatore Sam Mattera, Motley Fool, 7 December 2. If Google is effective in undermining consumers dependence on carrier subsidies, Apple shareholders should be very concerned. Salvatore Sam Mattera, Motley Fool, 1. November 2. 01. 3. Apples struggles with the i. Phone 5 appeared just shortly after the phones launch. That event coincided almost perfectly with Apples all time high. Although the i. Phone 5 has sold well its the worlds single best selling phone, it failed to live up to the expectations of optimistic Wall Street analysts. Salvatore Sam Mattera, The Motley Fool, 9 July 2. Apple centric blog Mac. Rumors posted images of what appears to be Apples next i. Phone. Although they remain unverified, if they are legitimate, Apple shareholders should be concerned. The images show a phone identical in size and shape to the i. Phone 5. And, despite whatever other features Apple plans to implement, such a phone could fall far short of sales expectations. Continuing to cling to a smaller form factor could lead to sluggish sales. Salvatore Sam Mattera, The Motley Fool, 2. June 2. 01. 3. For a time, the smartphone market was a two horse race. Now, that is no longer the case. In addition to competition from Samsung Galaxy lineup, Apple has to compete with HTCs One. Theres also Googles cheap yet powerful Nexus 4, and LGs Optimus G. Sonys Xperia Z has received rave reviews in the UK, and Motorola is widely rumored to be working on a revolutionary new X phone. The smartphone market is becoming more competitive than ever.

April 2. 01. 3. My concern is after this i. Phone 6. You cant see the reason for upgrading. Its a huge jump in terms of the size. Everybody wants bigger screens and they delivered that. Going forward in smart phones its going to be incremental improvements. You cant make it much thinner and lighter. Henry Blodget, Yahoo Finance, 2.

And I dont think any other product will ever be nearly as profitable for Apple as the i. Phone which accounts for an estimated 7. Apples profits. Henry Blodget, Yahoo Finance, 1. September 2. 01. 4. If Apple continues to pursue its current pricing and maximize short term profit strategy, it may continue to increase its profits for the next couple of years. Black. Berry and Nokia grew earnings for a couple of years after some analysts began seeing the writing on the wall. But Apple will also continue to lose platform and ecosystem share in most of the world. Apple fans can talk all they want about how Apple is like BMW, but in a couple of key competitive respects, it isnt. And if the gadget platform market behaves the way other platform markets have think Windows, Apple and its fans may come to regret this short term thinking in the end. Henry Blodget, Business Insider, 1. November 2. 01. 3. Five years ago, when Apple introduced the i. Phone, it had the market to itself. Apple was so far ahead of its competitors that, for the next three years, the i. Phone was by far the best phone available. But in the last two years, several things have changed 1 Apples competitors have caught up The i. Phone is no longer obviously the best phone on the market. Apples competitors are now selling their excellent i. Phone competitors for much less than Apple is selling the i. Phone, allowing them to capture the extraordinary growth in emerging markets. Another smartphone platform, Googles Android, has taken over the world, rendering Apples i. OS a niche platform in many markets Henry Blodget, Business Insider, 1. Sep 2. 01. 3Apple has made a number of small missteps over the past few years that, combined with some adverse market trends and the death of Steve Jobs, have led to Apples stock getting clobbered. Weve described many of these factors in detail A gradual loss of supremacy in the smartphone market relatively slow innovation and new product rollouts that allowed competitors to catch upA decision not to launch a lower price i. Phone that is affordable in emerging markets, where the hyper growth in the smartphone industry has migrated in the past few years. A decision to protect profit margins at the expense of market share, pricing, and aggressive investment in future products. In the tablet market, the abandonment of the best price AND best product combination that made the i. Pad the only viable tablet choice in the first couple of years now, other excellent tablets are cheaperRelatively weak offerings in apps and services, which have allowed Google and other competitors to gain stronger footholds in mobile. Taking too big a cut of app and content revenue, which has prompted some developers to try to find ways to avoid the i. OS ecosystem. None of these by itself was a big issue. But, together, they added up to a stock that got ahead of itself in 2. Phone profitability, followed by a severe margin compression that caused the stock to get cut in half. Henry Blodget, Business Insider, 2. May 2. 01. 3. Meanwhile, the competition at the high end of the smartphone market, where Apple once dominated the field, has become much more intense. And Apples premium productthe i. Phone 5is no longer considered by some to be the best product on the market. Unless Apple can firmly re establish the i. Phones superiority, which does not look likely to happen anytime soon, the company may face increasing pressure to improve the price value proposition for this product, too. And that might be devastating for Apples profit margin, which is currently extraordinarily high for a hardware company. Henry Blodget, Business Insider, 1. February 2. 01. 3. For most of the past five years, Apple has led the world in the following key areas. In the past couple of years, however, Apple has lost its lead. And in some areas, it has actually fallen behind Smartphones. Tablets. Pricing. Gadget market share. Cloud based services and apps. In all of these areas, Apple has lost a once dominant edge. Henry Blodget, Business Insider, 1. Jaunuary 2. 01. 3. In recent years, however, competitors have caught up with the i. Phone. Some reviewers think Samsungs new phone is superior to Apples latest phone. And many people expect Samsung to leap ahead when the new Galaxy S4 comes out this spring. Another respected product reviewer, Consumer Reports, agrees with those who think Apple has lost its edge. In fact, Consumer Reports conclusion is even more depressing for Apple fans. Consumer Reports actually rates the i. Phone 5 the worst of the top smartphones. Henry Blodget, Business Insider, 4 January 2. I think they should invest more of it in the margin, in the business. Get lower priced products out there. Stop going after just the premium piece. Get into the real growth engine of the smartphone market, which right now is Android, its low priced phones in China and India, same thing on the tablets. Henry Blodget, CNBC, 3 January 2. And even if the industry just continues as it has for the past few years, with companies like Samsung continuing to build phones that are as good as or better than the i. Theme Bin Blog Archive.

For more information about the prerequisites for installing SQL Server 2. Hardware and Software Requirements for Installing SQL Server 2. Supported Upgrade Paths You can't simply upgrade from any edition of SQL Server to any other edition. Microsoft provides a set of supported upgrade paths. This is particularly important in SQL Server 2. For example, SQL Server 2. Datacenter edition and added the new Business Intelligence edition. Table 2 shows the supported upgrade paths to SQL Server 2. SQL Server. For more detailed information, you can check out "Supported Version and Edition Upgrades." Upgrading Using the SQL Server Installation Wizard The SQL Server Installation Center supports direct upgrades to SQL Server 2. SQL Server 2. 00. R2, SQL Server 2. SQL Server 2. 00. SQL Server 2. 01. SQL Server. To initiate the upgrade to SQL Server 2. Autorun program from the SQL Server 2. Both of these options will start the SQL Server Installation Center, which you can see in Figure 1. Figure 1: Installing Upgrade Advisor from the Planning Page of the SQL Server Installation Center Before performing the upgrade, it's a good idea to install and run Upgrade Advisor. Selecting the Install Upgrade Advisor option from the SQL Server Installation Center's Planning page will install Upgrade Advisor on your system. After completing the installation, you can run Upgrade Advisor, which will check your SQL Server system configuration and code. Upgrade Advisor will warn you about changes or deprecated features that might affect your system upgrade. You can optionally generate a report from Upgrade Advisor that you can use to systematically address any potential upgrade problems. To begin the actual upgrade process, click the Installation link in the navigation pane on the left side of the SQL Server Installation Center. This will display the Installation page, which you can see in Figure 2. On that page, click the Upgrade from SQL Server 2. SQL Server 2. 00. SQL Server 2. 00. R2 link to launch the SQL Server 2. Figure 2: Launching the SQL Server 2. Installation Wizard from the Installation Page of the SQL Server Installation Center As with a clean installation, the first thing the SQL Server 2. Setup Support Rules to check if there are any system problems that would interfere with the upgrade. Figure 3 shows the Setup Support Rules dialog box, with the Show Details option enabled. Figure 3: Checking for Problems That Might Cause the Upgrade Process to Fail If there are any problems that will prevent the upgrade from running, they'll be displayed in the rules list preceded by a yellow icon and the status will be listed as Fail. You must correct the problems before you can continue the upgrade. If the system passes all of the setup rules, the OK button will be enabled. Clicking OK from the Setup Support Rules dialog box displays the Product Key dialog box shown in Figure 4. You can either install the free Evaluation edition or enter your SQL Server 2. Figure 4: Entering the SQL Server 2. Product Key After entering the product key, click the Next button to display the License Terms dialog box that's shown in Figure 5. Figure 5: Accepting the License Terms To proceed with the upgrade, select the I accept the license terms check box. You can optionally choose to send product usage information to Microsoft.

C Sharp Window Form Application Tutorials For ExcelWhich probably can be found in your program. This line indicates that form. There are several ways to handle this, but all of them in one way or another will not close form. Unless we change project type to something other than windows forms application)The one I think is easiest to your situation is to create 3 forms: form. And here is a sample code to accomplish that: (I also added an example to close the app from 3rd form)static class Program. The main entry point for the application. STAThread]. static void Main(). Application. Enable. Visual. Styles(). Application. Set. Compatible. Text. Rendering. Default(false). Application. Run(new Form. Form. 1 : Form. public static Form. Form. 1Instance. public Form.Everyone eveywhere in the app should know me as Form.Form. 1Instance. Form. How To Install Gcc On Solaris Operating . Instance = this. //Make sure I am kept hidden.Window. State = Form.Window. State. Minimized. There is far more than meets the eye in FastPictureViewer Professional. Please spend some time skimming the feature set by reading some of the tutorials on this page. Electronics Tutorial about Input Interfacing Circuits and how input interfacing circuits can connect these electronic circuits to the real world. Show. In. Taskbar = false. Visible = false. Initialize. Component(). //Open a managed form - the one the user sees.. Form. 2(). form. 2. Show(). public partial class Form. Form. public Form. Initialize. Component(). Click(object sender, Event.

For example, Assume that I'm in form 1 then I want: Open form 2( from a button in form 1) Close form 1 Focus on form 2. Form. 3 : Form. public Form. Initialize. Component(). Click(object sender, Event. Args e). Form. 1. Form. 1Instance. Close(); //the user want to exit the app - let's close form. Note: working with panels or loading user- controls dynamically is more academic and preferable as industry production standards - but it seems to me you just trying to reason with how things work - for that purpose this example is better. And now that the principles are understood let's try it with just two forms: The first form will take the role of the manager just like in the previous example but will also present the first screen - so it will not be closed just hidden. The second form will take the role of showing the next screen and by clicking a button will close the application. Form. 1 : Form. public static Form. Form. 1Instance. public Form. Everyone eveywhere in the app show know me as Form. Form. 1Instance. Form. Instance = this. Initialize. Component(). private void button. Click(object sender, Event.

Show(). //now that that it is topmost and shown - we want to set its behavior to be normal window again. Top. Most = false. Form. 2 : Form. public Form. Initialize. Component(). Click(object sender, Event. Args e). Form. 1. Form. 1Instance. Close(). If you alter the previous example - delete form. Create HTTP GET and POST Request with C#In several applications, its required to create some requests(either get or post ) on a web resource and process the received data from the server script itself. In popular scripting language php, using guzzle library helps to do such works perfectly. Who are using c# and . Luckily, there are already some built- in classes in . However, this native support of performing HTTP requests using C# are very raw and can be generalized as a wrapper. I will provide c# code sample of a complete wrapper class that you can reuse on your application with minimal customization. Update: At the time of writing this article, I didn’t find any other useful library, why I created this very basic/simple wrapper class. However, there is now more advanced way to perform such operation using restsharp client. You can refer to this if you are about to perform complete http requests. However, still, the following simple class can help you understand the internal mechanism how a request constructed. As I am going to provide a solution already, so I am not going to explain internal mechanism in details. But, feel free to explore the class if you want, its pretty straight forward. I will how to use that class and what format to follow to pass parameters. Alternatively, you can fork a copy from github also. The github url for this is: https: //github. Here you go with the complete code of the class. My. Web. Request. Web. Request request. Stream data. Stream. String Status. get. My. Web. Request(string url). Create a request using a URL that can receive a post. Web. Request. Create(url). My. Web. Request(string url, string method). Equals("GET") || method. Equals("POST")). {. Set the Method property of the request to POST. Method = method. }. Exception("Invalid Method Type"). My. Web. Request(string url, string method, string data). Create POST data and convert it to a byte array. Data = data. byte[] byte. Array = Encoding. UTF8. Get. Bytes(post. Data). // Set the Content. Type property of the Web. Request. request. Content. Type = "application/x- www- form- urlencoded". Set the Content. Length property of the Web. Request. request. Content. Length = byte. Array. Length. // Get the request stream. Stream = request. Get. Request. Stream(). Write the data to the request stream. Stream. Write(byte. Array, 0, byte. Array. Length). // Close the Stream object. Stream. Close(). public string Get. Response(). // Get the original response. Web. Response response = request. Get. Response(). this. Status = ((Http. Web. Response)response). Status. Description. Get the stream containing all content returned by the requested server. Stream = response. Get. Response. Stream(). Open the stream using a Stream. Reader for easy access. Stream. Reader reader = new Stream. Reader(data. Stream). Read the content fully up to the end. From. Server = reader. Read. To. End(). // Clean up the streams. Close(). data. Stream. Close(). response. Close(). return response. From. Server. Basic Understanding Of This Class: So, as you can see, constructor can be of three different types. You must need to pass the URL. It will by default set method as ‘GET’. If you need to use ‘POST’ method, then please pass it as second parameter. Third parameter is for pass the ‘data’, that you may want to post to server. And the “Get. Response()” method will return the result in plain text format, so you need to process it as per your need. You can check whether any error occurred or not by using the “Status” property. Just to clear a confusion from many readers, it doesn’t matter what kind of application you are working on, either desktop application or Asp. NET web application, this class can be used in the same way for both types. Cheers! Using This C# HTTP Request Class: Implementing this class to an application is quite easy. First you have to create an instance of the class and then call a parameter less function to receive the response data. So, all things to feed it is in the constructor calling. There are three different type of constructor you can call. One with one parameter(web resource url), it simply download the data of the web page. Second one with 2 parameters(url and method of request,get or post), actually, this is the one, you won’t use anytime for this version of the class, as without data post type is meaning less(I have kept it to be it as modular and so that calling constructor can be flexible enough and other parameters also can be set by creating properties if needed). Third one, with 3 parameters(url, method and data). For url parameter, you must have to use a valid uri. For method parameter, you have to use “GET” or “POST” depending on your request type. Third parameter should be all data url encoded should be like this format: “variable. Here is a sample code snippet to make a complete request and get the string response. My. Web. Request my. Request = new My. Web. Request("http: //www. POST","a=value. 1& b=value. Console. Write. Line(my. Request. Get. Response()). This is it, Let me know if you are having any complexities here and also if you want any more features to added here. I will try to do so. |
