    - Credentials for LoadFrom Question : Using LoadFrom( "http://SomeWhere/SomeDll.dll" ). How do you specify your credentials to the web server ? In my scenario its in the intranet using windows authentication, no anonymous users ( NTLM or Kerberos ). I would have thought LoadFrom( "http://SomeWhere/SomeDll.dll", System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials ) would be possible but there is no such thing. Thanks. Chris.

    - Date entering or date picking I am not a developer but I need to understand if there is a difference between controls for Date manual entry and Date Picker. example: The date fields are heavily used fields and of these pages being are considered for smart client, I am sure that the end user would not react positively to using right and left arrow keys to tab through sections of date fields. If anything, the date format should read mm/dd/yyyy and the user should be auto-tabbed through each section. For example, when entering the date 01/01/04 the user should be able to enter the '01' then automatically moved to the day section to enter '01' then automatically moved to the year section to enter either '04' or '2004' which ever they choose.. The use of l/r arrows to move through sections of a date field is archaic, it's 2004 surely we can take the ease of f the end user rather than add more key strokes. Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 66132

    - subclassing System.Uri It would be nice to be able to subclass the System.Uri class easier, since there's no empty constructor, its not easy to define a more typed Uri that possibly takes specific arguments and formats them to a "company standard" or standards compliant URI (quick example) I eventually want to get to this: Dim s as new SearcherUri(State:="FL", CountyName:="Sarasota", BookType:=BookType.OfficialRecords, BookNumber:=33333, PageNumber:=444) but currently I have to settle with, for example, the State passed through a CountyFipsCode which is basically "FL##" (for florida) or "TN##" so the current SearcherUri.New looks like this MyBase.New(string.Format("searcher://servername/{0}/{1}/{2}?{3},{4}",countyF ipsCode.Substring(0,2),countyName,iif(bookType=BookType.OfficialRecords,"OR" ),bookNumber,pageNumber) m_state = countyFipsCode.Substring(0,2) obviously the constructor call is VERY messy, and look at the IIF for shortening "OfficialRecords" to "OR", and look at the inefficiency of having to Substring(0,2) twice to extract the state... see what i'm getting at? I propose making Uri class a little more "subclass" friendly, whereas there's more protected variables and such for setting the various bits of the Uri /me wishes for a CLR wish list :-) -- Eric Newton C#/ASP Application Developer http://ensoft-software.com/ eric@cc.ensoft-software.com [remove the first "CC."] Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 66131

    - Detecting GAC assembly in use during uninstallation Fellow Frameworkers, Our developer tools are a set of assemblies installed in the GAC. I use InstallShield 8.0 to create an MSI-based installer that installs the assemblies just fine, thanks. My problem is that on uninstallation, an assembly currently in use by a running application (IIS, for example) is not detected. Instead, the uninstallation seems to complete successfully, but the assembly in use is left in the GAC. I want to prevent uninstallation, or at least alert the user if any of the assemblies is in use. How can I detect a GAC assembly in use? BTW, I tried searching (with another search engine) this group for "uninstall assembly GAC" and the phrase "in use" but the one hit was irrelevant. Also, I originally posted in platformsdk.msi, and was directed here. Drew Liscomb Installer Engineer MapInfo Corporation Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 66123

    - How to run a VB script from a .NET application Hi. I'm translating an old C++ project to .NET and I have a big problem. The project has the capability of running scripts - with support for VBScript and JScript and this feature is used extensively. I would like my project to be backward compatible ( at least in phase 1 ) and thus it should be able to run the same scripts. Browsing through the .NET framework I can't find any VBScript execution capabilities. Thus I could use the same solution as in my C++ implementation - to use the MS Script Control. !BUT! The script control is appartment threaded. In my old application I had no problem limiting myself to being appartment threaded. But when converting to .NET - the project is going to run in a multithreaded appartment. Because I am going to implement COM objects in my project that the scripts can access - I have a situation where the script is calling ( quite a lot ) my classes across an appartment boundary - and that is a major performance killer. Anybody have any other suggestions as to how I can implement VBScript functionality. Regards, Peter Strøiman Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 66120

    - float to double conversion question so my app uses float for money, and we are now consuming a webservice that uses double for money. here is the problem i run into while converting float f1 = 23.32 double d1 = (double)f1; d1=23.3199996948242 i understand that is because of the extra floating spaces (although it still isnt making perfect sense to me, why wouldnt the extra floating spaces just add 0's which would keep the number the same) i suppose i could convert it to string and than parse double .. but what is the best way to convert it keeping in mind currency with just 2 decimal places with best precision ?

    - Problem setting HPageBreak Hello all, I'm exporting an Excel spreadsheet from a C# app. The problem I'm having is that when I set a HPageBreak in an Excel worksheet, it seems to have no effect. When I display the worksheet on the screen and switch to Page Break Preview mode, I still can't see my page break. The only breaks I see are the automatic ones where there was a natural page end. However, I know it was set correctly because if I navigate to the line where the break should be and then select Insert from the menu, I see a Remove Page Break option. If a page break is not set at the current line and I select Insert from the menu, it just shows a Page Break option. So it does acknowledge that a page break was set. Below is an example of how I'm trying to set the break. Worksheet ws = .......; ws.HPageBreaks.Add(ws.get_Range("A10", "F10")); In page break preview I don't see a break at line 10, but I can tell that a break was inserted there. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can get the page break to be visible? Thanks in advance, Shannon Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 66109

    - "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Hi! When I am trying to drag user controls or any controls from the Toolbox to a form in some of my projects I get a dialog messages: (Microsoft Deployment Environment) "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" Notes that: 1. It's a designer problem, not a reference problem. When I am adding this user control directly to the code it works just fine, but I can't make it work using the designer and see it in design time. 2. It happens only in some of the projects in the solution, not all of them. 3. In my company we are working with 'Microsoft visual source safe' and other members of the team don't suffer from the this problem. 4. Getting the latest version from 'source safe' didn't help. 5. Reinstalling VisualStudio .Net from scratch didn't help 6. When I am logging in as a different user the problem remains. How can I restore the functionality of the designer to work with (is it an environment problem)? many thanks, Kam Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 66095

    - Runtime Compilation / Scripting I need to be able to customise the business logic in my application by writing code that is compiled and executed at runtime. I want to be able to write this code using my own simple interface which compiles code entered into a multi-line text box and also have the option of writing/editing the code using VS.Net. The way I see it working is that my middle tier business object loads an assembly containing the customised code and executes the required method passing it any required parameters. Is VSA the way to go? I know Microsoft have pulled the VSA IDE, but I'm happy to write my own simple IDE and use VS.Net for more complex scenarios. Can anybody point me in the right direction and outline the principles involved in introducing customised code to business object. Thanks, Peter Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 66082

    - "JIT" complete application? Hello, I'm currently wondering if it is possible to JIT a complete application at start-up. The problem is that I have a very time-critical application, which should be able to shoot out of the halter, and this from the first shot on. I know that there is the possibility to use NGen. However, in several posts I read about the trade-offs like less optimized code. Since start-up time is not critical, my idea was to look for a way to tell the JIT compiler to compile EVERYTHING at once in contrast to method-by-method JITting during runtime. Anybody any ideas?

I installed VS .NET 2003 -the same version that was on my system before and worked fine - and now I get the same error every time I try to run any created application, including the samples that come with VS .NET.

It even does it when I try to run a blank form with no additional code.

    - manifest for non-assembly file in a Multi-file Assembly scenario... Hi all according to a lot articles that I read about .NET assemblies, I understand that an assembly file always contains a manifest but it is not required for a non-assembly module or it should not contain a manifest. In a multi-file assembly scenario, I created a module using the C# compiler as follow: csc /out:MyModule.mod /t:module MyModule.cs then I created an assembly that includes this module by doing this: csc /out:MyAsm.dll /t:library /addmodule:MyModule.mod MyAsm.cs After I use ILDASM to view their metadata information, nothing unusual for the assembly file: MyAsm.dll, it comes with the usual manifest and types metadata and ILs. But when I open MyModule.mod using ILDASM, there is also a manifest associated with the non-assembly module.

    - integer constants used with string constants Given the following: [VB] ----------------------- Option Strict On Public Const ID_LIST_LIMIT as integer = 2000 <WebMethod(Description:="idList cannot have more than " & ID_LIST_LIMIT & " items.")> _ Public Function SomeFunction(byval idList() as Integer) as Boolean() if idList.Length = 0 then exit sub if idList.Length > ID_LIST_LIMIT then throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("idList has more than " & ID_LIST_LIMIT & " items. Please revise your request." End Function ---------------------- Here's the problem: the ID_LIST_LIMIT coersion to string works fine for the ArgumentException constructor because the language seems to defer the coersion to runtime. However, the coersion fails for the webmethod constructor because the compiler apparently refuses to coerce the integer to a string for the purpose of the webmethod attribute's construction. The only way i've found to alleviate the "problem" is to declare a string constant and hope that the two will always be the same... most likely... but not 100% guaranteed. To the framework compiler builders: Any plans to change this? Since you can only use value types in attributes anyways, couldnt the compiler invoke a integer.tostring() itself in the context of the constructor? Not afterwards, but actually during compilation, so that if an overflow WOULD occur then it DOES occur... -- Eric Newton C#/ASP Application Developer http://ensoft-software.com/ eric@cc.ensoft-software.com [remove the first "CC."] Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 66010

I would like to have methods like - HexToString ("...hexadecimal string...") - HexToInt ("...hexadecimal string...") - HexToFloat ("...hexadecimal string...") - HexToDouble ("...hexadecimal string...") which converts me a hexadecimal string to the according type. I want to give the hex string as a whole to the method e.g. - HexToString ("3139383530323038") and not - HexToString("\x31\x39\x38\x35\x30\x32\x30\x38") Are there any classes in the .NET framework, which can convert hexadecimal data in the way I would like ? If not, are there any suggestion how to solve my problem in a different way without doing all this decoding on my own ? In addition I know that e.g. a float is represented according to IEEE-754 (whatever this exactly means). Thanks for help Uwe Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 65997

    - FlagsAttribute, what I'm I doing wrong! Hi, I'm trying to use the FlagsAttribute enum to be able to provide multiple mutally exclusive flags, my enum is described as follows: [Flags] public enum NoteTypes { NoNotes = 0x0, ProgressionDecision = 0x1, TextNote = 0x2, AttachedFile = 0x4, BulkRegrowRequest = 0x8, Identified = 0x16, } I invoke it by passing in the note types required as a Bitmask OR then using a bitmask AND to compare which flags have been selected, as follows: SomeMethod(NoteTypes.Identified); SomeMethod(NoteTypes noteType) { if (Convert.ToBoolean(m_noteTypes & NoteTypes.TextNote)) { MessageBox("Text Note added"); } if (Convert.ToBoolean(m_noteTypes & NoteTypes.AttachedFile)) { MessageBox("Attached file added"); } if (Convert.ToBoolean(m_noteTypes & NoteTypes.Identified)) { MessageBox("Identified added"); } if (Convert.ToBoolean(m_noteTypes & NoteTypes.ProgressionDecision)) { MessageBox("progress decision added"); } if (Convert.ToBoolean(m_noteTypes & NoteTypes.BulkRegrowRequest)) { MessageBox("bulk grow added"); } } When I try to pass in a note type of 'identified' the bit mask AND thinks that the bit is in all types, but if I pass in 'ProgressionDecision' it works correctly i.e only the progression decision is added. I'm a doing something wrong in the bitwise compare or the setting up of the flags enum? Any help much appreciated. John Tag: Shortcut Icon Tag: 65994

Hello.

I created a .Net deployment package so far so good.
However, I would like to be able to remove the shortcut
icon that appears on the desktop icon I included in the
package. I learned how to remove the shortcut icon for
all icons in windows by editing the registry but I only
want to remove the shortcut icon for the desktop icon.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Erik
