Strange error

hmmm i am getting a g@y error...i have 2events who share the same delegate..the param of the delegate and events is the class itself so it sends the class as param...hmm but only 1event is working!!! i cant understand why
(the thing that isn't working is in comment, it's the connectionStateChanged)

anybody? i just can't understand why 1event is raising error and the other one isn't..

I think you need to make sure those events are hooked up in the client and then before calling an event ya need to check to make sure it's hooked up:

PHP Code:

---

//Make sure it's hooked up before calling it.
if (YourEvent != null)
  YourEvent(this); 


---

Out of curiousity i threw together a cut down version of your sample:

PHP Code:

---

using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Web;
using System.IO;

namespace DownloadUtility
{
    public class DownloadManager
    {
        private string url;
        private string fileName;
        private string localFolder;
        private ConnectionState connectionState;
        private long fileSize;
        public delegate void StateChangeHandler(DownloadManager dm);
        public event StateChangeHandler OnConnectionStateChange;
        public event StateChangeHandler OnProgressChange;

        public enum ConnectionState
        {
            Closed = 0,
            Connecting,
            Connected,
            Downloading
        }
        
        public long FileSize
        {
            get { return fileSize; }
        }

        public ConnectionState State
        {
            get { return connectionState; }
        }

        public string Url
        {
            get { return url; }
            set { url = value; }
        }
        
        public string FileName
        {
            get { return fileName; }
            set { fileName = value; }
        }

        public string LocalFolder
        {
            get { return localFolder; }
            set { localFolder = value; }
        }

        public DownloadManager()
        {
            connectionState = ConnectionState.Closed;
            if(OnConnectionStateChange != null)
                OnConnectionStateChange(this);
        }

        public DownloadManager(string Url, string FileName, string LocalFolder)
        {
            this.url = Url;
            this.localFolder = LocalFolder;
            this.fileName = FileName;
            connectionState = ConnectionState.Closed;
            if (OnConnectionStateChange != null)
                OnConnectionStateChange(this);
        }

        public void Download()
        {
            this.connectionState = ConnectionState.Connecting;
            if (OnConnectionStateChange != null)
                OnConnectionStateChange(this);

            HttpWebRequest req = ((HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(this.url+this.fileName));

            this.connectionState = ConnectionState.Connected;
            if (OnConnectionStateChange != null)
                OnConnectionStateChange(this);

            HttpWebResponse resp = ((HttpWebResponse)req.GetResponse());

            this.connectionState = ConnectionState.Downloading;
            if (OnConnectionStateChange != null)
                OnConnectionStateChange(this);

            this.fileSize = resp.ContentLength;
            Stream streamIn = resp.GetResponseStream();
            FileStream streamOut = new FileStream(this.localFolder+this.fileName,FileMode.Create);
            const int BUFFER_SIZE = 4096;
            byte[] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
            int iRead = streamIn.Read(buffer, 0, BUFFER_SIZE);            
            while (iRead > 0)
            {
                if (OnProgressChange != null)
                    OnProgressChange(this);
                streamOut.Write(buffer, 0, iRead);
                iRead = streamIn.Read(buffer, 0, 4096);            
            }
            streamIn.Close();
            streamOut.Close();
            resp.Close();
            this.connectionState = ConnectionState.Closed;
            if (OnConnectionStateChange != null)
                OnConnectionStateChange(this);
        }


    }
} 


---

And the client code looks like this:

PHP Code:

---

namespace DelegateTest
{
    public class MainApp
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            DownloadManager dm = new DownloadManager();
            dm.OnConnectionStateChange += 
                new DownloadManager.StateChangeHandler(ConnectionStateChanged);
            dm.OnProgressChange +=
                new DownloadManager.StateChangeHandler(ProgressChanged);
            dm.FileName = "default.aspx";
            dm.LocalFolder = @"D:\XmlData\";
            dm.Url = @"http://www.panteravb.com/panteravb/";
            dm.Download();
            
            Console.WriteLine("Press <Enter> to exit ...");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        public static void ConnectionStateChanged(DownloadManager dm)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Connection is now: {0}", dm.State.ToString());
        }
        public static void ProgressChanged(DownloadManager dm)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Progress fired!");
        }
    }
} 


---

still the same error =\

i think the problem is that i'm sending an instance of the class using this:

<myEvent>(this);

nah, that's what my code does, in fact most events do. Maybe post your client code and if ya changed anything in your code post that too.

ok, i only added a couple of things to your original code to make it work, i've commented those items, they are all in the t_downloadFile() method:

PHP Code:

---

using System;
using System.Threading;
using downloadClass;

namespace DelegateTest
{
    public class MainApp
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)

            downloadManager dm = new downloadManager();
            dm.connectionStateChanged += 
                new downloadManager.downloadHandle(ConnStateChanged);
            dm.progressChanged +=
                new downloadManager.downloadHandle(ProgChanged);
            dm.downloadFolder = @"D:\XmlData\test.aspx";
            dm.downloadAddress = @"http://www.panteravb.com/panteravb/default.aspx";
            dm.downloadFile();
            Console.WriteLine("Press <Enter> to exit ...");
            Console.ReadLine();
        }
        public static void ConnStateChanged(downloadManager dm)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("State changed to {0}", dm.connectionState.ToString());

http://www.panteravb.com/panteravb/i...oadManager.jpg

im keep getting an:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in downloadclass.dll

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

omg

when i see the code and put the mouse over the event who's givin error it says the event = null..but i have the if (event != null) { } so this shouldnt happen...bah

man i swear i dont understand! i that thing about != null and it didnt work..but copied that part of ur code to my code and it worked...but they look exactly the same...omg..much tks

cool, skip this message.

now i hardcoded that in other parts of the code and worked smoth...thank u so much:D :D :D :D
