    - ConfigrationManager Problem Hi, I am trying to call the new ConfigurationManager class but all I get is "does not exist in the current context". I can substitute with System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings and all seems to be fine. Any ideas? here is the actual code protected string ConnectionString { get { if (ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Timer"] == null) throw (new NullReferenceException("Invalid Connection")); string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Timer"].ConnectionString; if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(connectionString)) throw (new NullReferenceException("Invalid Connection attempt") else return (connectionString); } } Thanks Steve Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine.

    - XSD.EXE vs System.Xml.Serialization problems I'm using the System.Xml.Schema and System.Xml.Serialization objects to generate XSD dynamically and then the CSharpCodeProvider to generate classes. When using xsd.exe with the "/dataset" switch it generates just what I want. When I do it through the framework I get the equivalent of xsd.exe with the "/classes" switch. I don't seem to be able to find where I can programatically set the option for class vs dataset. This must be possible, this is surely how xsd.exe is doing its work. What am I missing?

    - TextRenderer problem Hi, I'm creating a control that overrides ListView and so I'm working on redrawing everything myself with some changes here and there... But I'm having a problem with drawing the text inside the rectangle on LargeIcon mode... I thought I'd finally discovered the solution with TextRenderer but this still doesn't give the correct results. Here's the code I'm trying to use (item is a ListViewItem) Rectangle text_rect = item.GetBounds(ItemBoundsPortion.Label); TextFormatFlags formatFlags = TextFormatFlags.WordBreak | TextFormatFlags.HorizontalCenter | TextFormatFlags.Top | TextFormatFlags.EndEllipsis; if (item.Text != null && item.Text.Length > 0) TextRenderer.DrawText(dc, item.Text, item.Font, text_rect, item.ForeColor, item.BackColor, formatFlags); The problem is that its still not exactly what the original ListView displays... ie I'm displaying: ___________ | some | | really long | original ListView displays: ___________ | some really | | long text | Surely it should fit inside the bounding box if its using the GDI draw method and I'm using the bounding box thats returned to me from the ListViewItem itself? Any ideas? thanks Kris Wragg Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 116124

    - Getting a file's ContentType I would like to be able to get the ContentType of a file programmatically (for example, I want *.txt files to return "text/plain"). I could not find a way to do this using VB.NET's classes, but I am also somewhat new to using the System.IO namespace for anything other than text files and the pure basics, so I could very well have missed it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. -- Nathan Sokalski njsokalski@hotmail.com http://www.nathansokalski.com/ Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 116115

    - Customization In Web Application All, Using VS 2005, C#.NET, SQL Server 2005, W2K3. We are developing a web application that would be shared by numerous customers for information management. Some of those customers want variations on the usual form layout. For example, we have a form where the user can enter their dependents information (parents, siblings, spouse, kids, etc.), but we know one of our customers wants to include additional information on that form that none of the other customers would use (company specific insurance coverage). Based on our experience with our C/S version of the product, we can expect to see many more requests like this. There are 3 ways to do this that I see. 1. Create a separate web application for that customer and host it on a different web server. 2. Add the custom fields to the single web application but hide the extras based on the customer using it. 3. Allow the customer to add the fields themselves and store them for just that customer. Pros and cons that I see. 1. Quick to implement, but costly in new infrastructure, and would end up difficult to maintain. 2. Still relatively quick to develop, and uses existing infrastructure, but would create complex forms. 3. Difficult to develop, but would use existing infrastructure and wouldn't need extra maintenance. Personally, I'd like to use 3. That is... Design the application so that each form includes standard fields, but a customer can add new labels, textboxes, drop-down combos, lists, etc., themselves and doing so doesn't require us to change any code or the database schema. While this would be a no-brainer in an C/S application, it gets a little more difficult in a web app since the only client they use is a browser. Any thoughts?

    - Rewrite ... This post is mostly for discussion. Why rewrite in .NET? Just a general discussion not related to any specific details. I was just looking to see what reasons developers are looking to, to help decide whether they should rewrite their app in .NET. What are the trends being observed of Microsoft when it comes to .Net? How much longer will COM objects live on? How stable is the Framework? If the goal is to maintain a software package for the next 10 years, would that make a differnce on the decision? What if a rewrite would take approximately 2 years, would that affect when you decided to do a rewrite? Are their any security benefits? I am looking for opinions, but also links to facts that can help support your case. I'm hoping this can become a good discussion.

    - ??? MethodInfo Props are Wrong (or Docs are Wrong) ??? Hi everyone, I hope you can comment on this -- I'm pretty darned sure that either some of the MethodInfo properties are wrong or the Microsoft documentation is wrong. Please have a look at the program below. It attempts to print out the accessibility (i.e., "visibility") of each method in the class. I've included the program along with its output. The Microsoft documentation for MethodInfo tells us that the IsAssembly property "Gets a value indicating whether this method can be called by other classes in the same assembly." Okay, great. Public methods can certainly be called from other classes in the same assembly, right? Not according to the program below. The output indicates a public method cannot be called from other classes within its assembly because the IsAssembly property is false. There are other inconsistencies in the output as well - for example, an internal method cannot be called from a subclass in the same assembly. Read the Microsoft documentation very carefully. You'll see that the IsPrivate and IsPublic properties refer to the accessibility of the member itself. For example, m.IsPublic indicates whether or not m is public. In contrast, IsFamily, IsAssembly, IsFamilyAndAssembly and IsFamilyOrAssembly indicate whether the method in question can be called from a method with that accessibility. For example, m.IsAssembly indicates whether m can "be called by other classes in the same assembly". This is distinctly different from saying that m has internal accessibility. So, certainly any public method can "be called by other classes in the same assembly", right? Not according to the output below. It's very inconsistent and the property values are inconsistent with what the documentation says they should be. I guess you can look at this as either the MethodInfo properties are wrong or the Microsoft documentation is wrong. I guess I'm just a stickler. --------------------- using System; using System.Reflection; class Program { private static void Main(string[] args) { Type t = typeof(Program); MemberInfo[] members = t.GetMembers(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.DeclaredOnly); foreach (MemberInfo mi in members) { Console.WriteLine(mi); MethodInfo methodInfo = mi as MethodInfo; if (methodInfo != null) { Console.WriteLine(" Private: " + methodInfo.IsPrivate); Console.WriteLine(" Public: " + methodInfo.IsPublic); Console.WriteLine(" Assm: " + methodInfo.IsAssembly); Console.WriteLine(" Fam: " + methodInfo.IsFamily); Console.WriteLine(" Fam & Assm: " + methodInfo.IsFamilyAndAssembly); Console.WriteLine(" Fam | Assm: " + methodInfo.IsFamilyOrAssembly); } Console.WriteLine(); } } // main() protected void ProtMethod() {} internal void InternalMethod() {} public void PublicMethod() {} protected internal void ProtInternalMethod() {} } // Program() ------ OUTPUT ---------- Void ProtMethod() Private: False Public: False Assm: False Fam: True Fam & Assm: False Fam | Assm: False Void InternalMethod() Private: False Public: False Assm: True Fam: False Fam & Assm: False Fam | Assm: False Void PublicMethod() Private: False Public: True Assm: False Fam: False Fam & Assm: False Fam | Assm: False Void ProtInternalMethod() Private: False Public: False Assm: False Fam: False Fam & Assm: False Fam | Assm: True Void .ctor() Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine.

    - Overridden GetProperties() of ExpandableObjectConverter not called! In a custom ExpandableObjectConverter I have overridden GetPropertiesSupported (always returns true) and GetProperties. The class to which this TypeConverter is applied has only public properties and it should be accessed via a PropertyGrid. However, GetProperties is never called! By overriding some more methods and setting breakpoints inside those overrides I have found out that all overrides are being called correctly, except for the one GetProperties. Trying to catch any first chance exceptions doesn't come up with any results, since there aren't any exceptions thrown. Thus the desired expanding and minimizing of the object's properties isn't possible. Any ideas how to make GetProperties being called?

    - Script for building/debugging services I have found services debugging to be a big pain. One reason is because the play button in VS is worthless for this kind of application. So I wrote this scripts that will execute for an app whose name ends on Service, it will lookup the debug directory, Stop the service copy the executables and restart the service. Now there is a lot of room for improvement. But I thought I'd share and maybe someone out there will improve on it. It also executes when the app has just been built, so you only need to attach to the process instead of hitting the arrow. Or maybe I am missing something; and there is no need for this at all. To make this work you need to open the Macro editor on the menu it is: "Tools/Macros/Macro IDE ...". There you can edit the MyMacros template. Public Module EnvironmentEvents #Region "Automatically generated code, do not modify" Private Sub BuildEvents_OnBuildDone(ByVal Scope As EnvDTE.vsBuildScope, ByVal Action As EnvDTE.vsBuildAction) Handles BuildEvents.OnBuildDone Debug.main() End Sub End Module Public Module Debug Private fullexepath As String = "C:\Program Files\My company\My app" Sub main() Dim _project As EnvDTE.Project _project = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1) If _project.Properties.Item("Title").Value.ToString.EndsWith("Service") Then Dim _process As Diagnostics.Process _process = Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe", "/c ""net stop TNAEventService""") _process.WaitForExit() Dim OutputPath As String OutputPath = _project.Properties.Item("LocalPath").Value.ToString() OutputPath += _project.ConfigurationManager.ActiveConfiguration.Properties.Item("OutputPath").Value For Each OutputPath In Directory.GetFiles(OutputPath) Dim fi As FileInfo = New FileInfo(OutputPath) Dim vFileStream As FileStream If File.Exists(fullexepath + "\" + fi.Name) Then If Not Directory.Exists(fullexepath + "\old") Then Directory.CreateDirectory(fullexepath + "\old") End If File.Move(fullexepath + "\" + fi.Name, fullexepath + "\old\" + fi.Name + "." + Now.ToString("yyyymmdd hhmm")) End If File.Copy(OutputPath, fullexepath + "\" + fi.Name) Next _process = Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe", "/c ""net start TNAEventService""") _process.WaitForExit() End If End Sub End Module Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine.

    - Effort/Time in migrating 1.1 to 2.0 Hi, wanted to know what people have experienced in terms of effort+time in migrating your apps to 2.0 from 1.1? Are there any case studies on msdn? I couldn't find any.. how well did it go with you all? days? weeks? months? we have a mid sized external app using mcms, a small asp.net app for internal use, a small console app, and a webservice.. we will migrate if it's a relatively small investment.. otherwise, we will stick with 1.1 for at least a year more as we have lots of integration projects coming up.. my idea is that upgrading now will be cheaper than doing the upgrade AFTER making the apps larger.. but that's me.. thank you Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine.

    - problem with COM Object Wrapper or with Remoting... which one? Hi, I have a web project in VS 2005 and I'm using a wrapper to work with a COM object. this object must work in a remoting environment. So we've done a simple console app to give us the access to the remote object. In our test web app, everything works fine... if we copy paste all the code from the test app to the real app so we can have exactly the same thing in each one, the real application raise an exception on the first call I do after the "new MyObject()" line. My first guess would be that the problem comes from the remoting, but I use exactly the same config file than the test app. The wrapper was in Framework 1.1, so I converted it to 2.0, I don't know if it can change something, but for now, it does not work. Does someone have an idea of what it would be? I mean, even with the same code and the same config file. Is there a setting or something like it that could cause the problem?

    - DateTime Ticks/Milliseconds Question (possibly Thread.Sleep () related - ?) Hi, Slightly dim question, possibly. I dunno. When i run the following c#: for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) { System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine (DateTime.Now.Millisecond.ToString ()); System.Threading.Thread.Sleep (1); } I would expect the output to increment by at least 1 every line (since I am asking my thread to sleep for 1 millisecond). The output generated, however, looks like this: 627 409 409 409 424 424 440 440 440 456 456 456 456 (etc) surely this is impossible? I also noticed a similar thing when using Ticks instead of Milliseconds Is there something im missing? I thought maybe it was something i hadnt encountered before to do with thread scheduling (ie: none others to be scheduled, so its not sleeping), but if i change the interval to 100ms there is a visible (and seemigly regular) pause, and the output number increments by slightly more than 100 each time round. If anyone can shed some light on this i would be grateful - I'm now wondering if its something to do with the clock speed of my PC...?

    - Maintaining Sessions HttpWebRequest I'm having problems to maintain a session with a remote server using HttpWebRequest in .NET v2 I read a page using, which gives me data and holds it in a session. (classic ASP) The second request I need to use data from that session with the new data I provide from ASP.NET. My problem is that both requests appear to have a seperate Session; asp.net <- classic asp session-related data (session 1) asp.net -> classic asp session-related data + asp.net data (session 2 opened) Instead of sharing one; asp.net <- asp session-related data (session 1) asp.net -> asp session-related data + asp.net data (session 1) Is there a way to force the same session being used by the ASP.NET page? The code I currently am using, but isn't hooking back to the first session: public class Remote { public static string GetRemoteHTML(string ContentURL) { try { // Get HTML data HttpWebRequest wreq = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(ContentURL); wreq.KeepAlive = true; if (HttpContext.Current.Cache["ASPSESSION"] != null) { //string Cache = HttpContext.Current.Cache["ASPSESSION"].ToString(); //string CName = Cache.Substring(0, Cache.IndexOf("=")); //string CValue = Cache.Substring(Cache.IndexOf("=") + 1, Cache.IndexOf(";") - Cache.IndexOf("=") - 1); //CookieContainer Cookies = new CookieContainer(); //Cookie Cookie = new Cookie(CName, CValue); //Cookie.Path = "/"; //Cookie.Domain = ContentURL.Substring(0, ContentURL.IndexOf("/",8)); //Cookies.Add(Cookie); //wreq.CookieContainer = Cookies; wreq.Headers.Add("Set-Cookie", HttpContext.Current.Cache["ASPSESSION"].ToString()); } HttpWebResponse wres = (HttpWebResponse)wreq.GetResponse(); System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert("ASPSESSION", wres.Headers["Set-Cookie"].ToString()); Stream streamResponse = wres.GetResponseStream(); StreamReader streamRead = new StreamReader(streamResponse); string responseString = streamRead.ReadToEnd(); streamResponse.Close(); streamRead.Close(); return responseString; } catch(Exception e) { throw e; } } } Is there something I'm overlooking?

    - QUERY: Adding more JS/DOM attributes to DataGrids I know that JavaScript lets us add: ondragenter, ondragover, ondragleave, ondrop events to normal HTML table td tags. This lets us do highlighting of table cells/rows, and capture drag & drop events. So to handle ondrop we can use JavaScript: this.OnDrop = function(obj) { obj.parentElement.style.backgroundColor = "white"; var strData = window.event.dataTransfer.getData("text"); this.InsertRow(obj.parentElement.rowIndex, strData); window.event.cancelBubble = true; } The obj is the object that was dropped onto. So obj.parentElement is the tr element, etc. Does all tr elements implicitly have a rowIndex member which contains the row number of the table? What am wondering is how can one add the ondrop="" attribute to a table which was generated from a DataGrid? If it is not possible adding JavaScript/DOM attributes to DataGrid's generated tables, then is there any way to capture these window.events and knowing exactly which DataGrid table row/cell it was dragged onto? I was told to look for "DataGrid Overviews" at 4guysfromrolla.com but could not find anything about it. Not even google.com could help.

    - ToolTips and DataGridView Hi guys, I am using an unbound DataGridView. I am using the built-in ToolTip that MS provides in VS2005 for the DGV control. I set the ToolTipText property of the DataGridViewColumn to some text. I set the ShowCellToolTips to true in the DataGridView control. Everything works fine at runtime. I get my tool tip when the mouse hovers over the column header. Now I want to set some of the properties for the built-in ToolTip. Properties like InitialDelay , BackColor etc... Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks in advance.... Roger -- Roger Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 116035

    - Check for Common character sequence ( I will pay)? Hi, Anyone know how I can do this? I will pay anyone via PayPal who can do this for me. Let me know? Write a function in C# that takes in an array of ASCII strings and finds all common character sequences. A common character sequence is defined as 3 or more adjacent characters that appear in more than one string in the array. Use the following function signature for your response: //C# class FoundString { public int cOccurrences; //count of times this substring //occurred in the value array public string szSubstring; //substring that was found } FoundString[] countSubstrings(string[] rgszValues); Ex. input of ("will-01", "a_williams", "will_01_iam") would return "wil" (cOccurrences = 3) "will" (cOccurrences = 3) "ill" (cOccurrences = 3) "iam" (cOccurrences = 2) Provide coded unit tests cases that exercise your solution. For extra credit: 1a. Order the results in descending order based on the number of input values each sequence matched. 1b. Prune the results by removing all results that are a substring of another result that matched the same number of input values. In the above example "wil" and "ill" would both be discarded because they are both a substring of "will" and all 3 values match 3 input strings Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine.

    - Capture keytrokes before AxWebBrowser Hi, Is there an elegant way to capture/preview keystrokes in a Windows.Forms application that has an AxWebBrowser control which is focused? The browser seems to swallow anything while it has focus. I also have a (related?) problem with back and forward buttons on the mouse. They work just fine in a stand alone browser but not in my embedded AxWebBrowser control. Regards, Martin. Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 116018

    - Microsoft .NET Framework Primer for the Visual Basic Developer I find it mildly amusing this following paragraph from a tutorial MS wrote on an introduction to VB.Net for VB6 developers. It's written in such a manner as to sound as the VS does something for you (auto-generates) that previous versions did not. As if you had to write the Form class by hand in VB6, lol. "Although the designer is very similar at first glance, many enhancements make Windows Forms development easier while giving you more power and flexibility. One of the most significant changes from Visual Basic 6 is that all controls and other UI components are actually classes in the Framework Class Library. When you drag a TextBox onto a form, Visual Studio 2005 auto-generates a field to hold a reference to a TextBox object and writes the code for instantiating a TextBox object when the form is initialized. The visual designer also writes the code for setting the properties of the control. If you change the BackColor property of the Text- Box in the Properties window, Visual Studio 2005 generates a line of Visual Basic code that sets the BackColor. Figure 1-9 shows some of the auto-generated code for the login form shown in Figure 1-8." Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 116013

    - WebRequest: only get info about file, not download the file? Hello Group, i want to get the file size of some files located on a webserver, therefore i create a WebRequest with the URI of the file and then a WebResponse on the WebRequest to get the ContentLength: WebRequest webRequest = HttpWebRequest.Create(fileUri); webRequest.Method = "HEAD"; //??????? (*) WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse(); fileSizeBytes = (ulong)webResponse.ContentLength; (*) Does this setting make the WebRequest only send the info and not the complete file? I ask because i don't want to download large files completely only to get the filename.

    - Outlook Add In is not shown for 1 user... Hi, I developped some time ago an Outlook Add In (VB.NET 2005) that worked fine during several months with all the users. Suddenly, 2 weeks ago it stopped working for one of the users. The administrator desinstalled it and installed it again, but that didn't work. i did the same, desinstalled it, rebooted, removed everything I could find about it in the registry of file system (nothing in both cases), reinstalled it, but still not working... It works for every user on that pc, but not forthis specific user... I added a MessageBox at the beginning of the "Private Sub ThisApplication_Startup(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Startup"-startup to be sure if it started or not, but the MessageBox is never shown... Does anybody has any idea why this happens? and how to find a solution for this? Is there somehow a way to see which Add Ins are available for who?

    - Assembly.LoadFrom() ... multiple component versions You can load multiple versions of the same assembly into the same process using LoadFrom(). However, (straight from Don Box's book) this can cause problems (for example, multiple copies of static fields... one for each instance of a loaded type). I remember in the book he mentioned that you could set attributes to prevent loading of different versions of the same assembly, but I can't remember what the attributes were... and he also said that at the time of the writing, they weren't effective. Any hints? Also, are there any 2.0 changes with regard to the above? Thanks!!! Andrew Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 116006

    - How can I pass a different class and method name to a component? I have a lot of very similar code that moves data from place A to place B. Code gets new rows to be moved and for each row calls a component. In addition to that it keeps statistics of how many records were moved and how many were rejected, what was the throughput, etc. Without going into too much details, these are two examples: // Example 1 MyCompany.MyComponent o = new MyCompany.MyComponent(); foreach (DataRow dr in dt) { // Get pk o.MoveOrders (pk); } // Example 2 MyCompany.AnotherMyComponent o = new MyCompany.AnotherMyComponent(); foreach (DataRow dr in dt) { // Get pk or OrderDate o.MoveBills (pk, orderDate); } I would like to reuse common code by putting it into a base class. My question is, how can pass different class name and method name to a generic component? For example, in the first case I want to instantiate "MyCompany.MyComponent" and then call "MoveOrders" method with one integer parameter. In the second case I need "MyCompany.AnotherMyComponent" class with "MoveBills" method that takes two parameters, one int and another one DateTime. Is it possible?

    - FTP Listing Files Problem Hello. I am starting to experiment with the FTP functionality within the .NET framework, but am having problems producing a list of files. This is my function which returns files in a string array: Public Function GetFileList(ByVal sMask As String) As String() Dim cSocket As Socket Dim bytes As Int32 Dim seperator As Char = ControlChars.Lf Dim mess() As String Dim strMess As String Dim intFileCount As Integer Dim strFiles() As String m_sMes = "" If (Not (m_bLoggedIn)) Then Connect() End If cSocket = CreateDataSocket() 'SendCommand("PASV") SendCommand("NLST " & sMask) If m_iRetValue = 450 Then 'No files found Return strFiles End If If (Not (m_iRetValue = 150 Or m_iRetValue = 125)) Then MessageString = m_sReply Throw New IOException(m_sReply.Substring(4)) End If m_sMes = "" Do While (True) m_aBuffer.Clear(m_aBuffer, 0, m_aBuffer.Length) bytes = cSocket.Receive(m_aBuffer, m_aBuffer.Length, 0) m_sMes += ASCII.GetString(m_aBuffer, 0, bytes) If (bytes < m_aBuffer.Length) Then Exit Do End If Loop mess = m_sMes.Split(seperator) cSocket.Close() ReadReply() If (m_iRetValue <> 226) Then MessageString = m_sReply Throw New IOException(m_sReply.Substring(4)) End If intFileCount = -1 For Each strMess In mess 'example strMess entry 'drwxrws--- 5 tiscali tiscalig 4096 May 2 09:42 CSG If Left(strMess, 7) <> "drwxrws" And strMess.Length > 0 Then intFileCount += 1 ReDim Preserve strFiles(intFileCount) strFiles(intFileCount) = strMess.Trim End If Next Return strFiles End Function The first time i try this, it returns many files, however, it only returns the first file in the directory on subsequent calls. Why is this? The files are still in the directory, so I'm not sure why it only returns one file rather than all, the second time I call it? Is there some sort of clear down i'm meant to be doing that I've missed out? Thanks. -- welcome to the mooon ! Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 116002

    - user.config - where is it stored? Hi All, In my project I have a complex of applications which need to share the same settings. The settings are set in the main application. Other application need to read this settings. OpenMappedExeConfiguration method allows me to do this if I can provide the full name to the user.config. Here http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/vbmysettings.asp it is explained where user.config is stored: ************************* The user.config file is created in the <c:\Documents and Settings>\<username>\[Local Settings\]Application Data\<companyname>\<appdomainname>_<eid>_<hash>\<verison>. Where: * <c:\Documents and Settings> is the user data directory, either non-roaming (Local Settings above) or roaming. * <username> is the user name. * <companyname> is the CompanyNameAttribute value, if available. Otherwise, ignore this element. * <appdomainname> is the AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName. This usually defaults to the .exe name. * <eid> is the URL, StrongName, or Path, based on the evidence available to hash. * <hash> is a SHA1 hash of evidence gathered from the CurrentDomain, in the following order of preference: 1. StrongName 2. URL If neither of these is available, use the .exe path. * <version> is the AssemblyInfo's AssemblyVersionAttribute setting. ****************************** Ok, I load main application's assembly using reflection and try to find the path. Everything is ok until I come to <hash>. My assembly is strong named so I can take it's strong name and calculate a hash. But the real path to the user.config of my application ends with .._wyj0d3ad0f1pysfh0zttpxzlifbcmb3d which doesn't look like string representation of a binary array. Does someone know how to find the path to user.config? Thanks, Artem Kliatchkine Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 115999

    - Using Assembly.Load(byte[]) to load multiple versions of dll, and AppDomain.AssemblyResolve Using dotnet 1.1, sp1, C#. I have assembly "A", which references assembly "B". Neither of these assemblies are stongly named. I have an application which uses a plug in architecture, to load assembly "A" using Assembly.Load(byte[]). The app (actually a web service) needs to be able to have loaded multiple versions of assembly "A" at the same time. eg. assembly "A" version 1, and assembly "A" version 2. The directory structure looks like this : -- Application's bin directory -- v1 subdirectory (contains "A" version 1, and "B" version X). -- v2 subdirectory (contains "A" version 2, and "B" version Y). i.e. "A" version 1 should use "B" version X, and "A" version 2 should use "B" version Y. Both versions are loaded into the same AppDomain (The application's current AppDomain). Assembly.Load(byte[]) is being used to load the versions of assembly "A". This works fine. My problems start when the versions of assembly "A" use the AppDomain.AssemblyResolve event to try to load the required versions of assembly "B". Ideally, I want to use that idea that assemblies in the same subdirectory should use each other at runtime. There does not seem to be enough information from inside the AppDomain.AssemblyResolve event to work out which subdirectory's "B" to load. Any ideas ? eg. Load different versions of "A" into different AppDomains, make assembly B version numbers more closely coupled with assembly "A"s version numbers ?

    - windows service apllication Hello, Initially I created a socket server (listener) application which blocks and waits for communication from client socket applications running on other Windows XP machines on the network. Everything seemed to be working fine (where the listener simply displays a form whenever it recieve's communication from a client) then blocks again. However on logout/shutdown form machines running the listener, the listener seems to hang and the user always have to click "end now" on a dialog box that pops up. Without being sure of the source of the problem I decided to try making the listener run as a service and went about creating a windows service application which uses the system.timers.timer component. The Tick method is then used to start the socket listener. The service gets installed and starts without any apparent errors but nothing happens when i use clients to communicate with the service. Am I going about this correctly? Any advice is appreciated. Sean. Tag: TransparencyKey vb.net 2005 on form works only on developing machine. Tag: 115994

Hi all,
Setting the transparency key on vb.net 2005 form (I randomly chose the
color yellow), works great on my machine, meaning i set the form's
background color to yellow as well, and it becomes transperent.
Deploying my app on 3 other machines, i fould out the yellow background
shows on their app.
I was reading about the the color quality bug (16,24,32 bit), and
thought of it has a problem. But checking all machines, all including
mine were set to 32 bit. So why does it not work, and is there a
workaround.
Thanks in advance,
Eli

I had the same problem, but I solved it by setting Form.DoubleBuffer to
false.
