Objects and parameters by reference

I am building a thin client winform app which calls data manipulation
methods of a web service and the resulting dataset is remoted back to the
client.

My question is, when I set the datasource and member properties of my data
bound objects on my client to a local dataset reference, how do I copy the
remoted dataset in to that dataset reference?

The reason why I ask is that this way, I can set all the datsources of my
client's databound object once to the local dataset reference and as I
remote back a new version of the dataset and copy it in to my local one, the
grids will just reflect the changes.

Is there a better way of doing this? Can I pass a dataset by reference to a
web service have it make changes there and automatically have them reflected
to my client? (this would almost be a remote live object with a proxy at
the client)

Another method is to change the datasources of all the databound objects set
to the remoted dataset's reference each time I get a new remote dataset.

Any pointers on how to accomplish what I need to do?

Thanks

Hi Could someone clarify for me the method parameter passing concept? As I understand it, if you pass a variable without the "ref" syntax then it gets passed as a copy. If you pass a variable with the "ref" syntax then it gets passed as a reference to the object and any changes to

I have a bit of a problem with an overloaded operator that I'm writing that I have distilled down to an example in the code below. Essentially, I have an operator function (+=) that takes a reference parameter of class Poly. If I use it with a named object (of type Poly), as in: P1+=P4; where P1 and P4 are both local variables of the class type, it works fine. If I try to use an anonymous object on the right side, then I get an error...

Hi Just read this article http://www.artima.com/intv/choices.html. Towards the end of the dicussions, when asked "Did you consider including support for the concept of immutable directly in C# and the CLR?" Anders' reply included this comment: "The concept of an immutable object is very useful, but it's just up to the author to say that it's immutable."

Hi What I have learned is that a variable is just a reference when dealing with Objects. Are you supposed to use ByVal or ByRef in functions? They produce the same result or have I missed something?

One way of passing data to a thread is to encapsulate the thread inside a class. However, I can't refer to my main form objects from within the class/thread as it says "Reference to a non-shared member requires an Object reference". How do I refer to items such as Textbox1.text etc on my main form? -Jerry

Hello fellow C# programmers, This question is more about general practice and convention so here goes: I got into a discussion with a co-worker who insisted that as a general practice all objects should be passed by reference using the ref keyword generally speaking because as the writer of code you are conveying your intentions that an Object should/can be modified by your function.

Hello, I'm writing a service using VS2005 and C#. I've found that only the objects used as parameters in WebMethods get exported to proxy dlls and the Service Description. I'd like my service clients to be able to use the objects I've defined in messages to the service and send them as "object" parameters or as embeded items in other objects. I can work around the problem by declaring all of the objects as public members of a dummy...

This may sound very elementary, but can you trap when your object is set to null within the object? I have created a class that registers an event from an object passed in the constructor. When my object is destroyed, I want my object to un-register this event. If I don't then the object would never be destroyed until the object I passed in the constructor is destroyed. I have implemented a Dispose(), Dispose(bool), and ~Finalize...

A quick sanity check, and I think I am correct, but just to make sure: if you have a bunch of objects that are very much like one another you can uniquely track them simply by using an ArrayList or Array, correct? An example: create the object, create an array, the stuff the object into the array. Later on, assume the object is mutable, the object changes, but you can find it, if you have enough state information to uniquely identify...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
