    - AppSettings trough ConfigurationManager I have a small test app with the code: Configuration cf = ConfigurationManager.OpenExeConfiguration(ConfigurationUserLevel.None); cf.AppSettings.Settings.Add("EnNyNokkel", "EnNyVerdi"); cf.Save(); If i run my app from inside VisualStudio through debug my created config file is created on startup of the program, but deleted when main is finished! If i however run the app from commandline or explorer, the configuration file is not deleted when the application finishes. Any good ideas why? Is this default debug settings?

    - show big image Hi all I have this problem I'm developing an application c# that interfaces with a digital camera as soon as the image is shot I download it in the PC and show it The problem is this one: the image is very big : 16 megapix! when I load it in a picturebox. If i try to pan or zoom (i modified the picture box to do that) the app is stuck ( I suppose because the load of panning and resizing such a big picture is very big too). I noticed that the same image is managed in a very efficient way by some freeware application such as for example irfan view My question is: there is a way in c# (maybe by a freeware library or component) to show, pan and zoom such a big image?

    - Dealing with Timezones In .Net 2.0, I can get the standard name of the current timezone by: System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.StandardName The problem I'm having is that I have datetimes that are serialized as a UTC time, with a named timezone.

    - ANN: ZipForge.NET 1.00 is released ZipForge.NET lets a .NET application create and manipulate Zip files and perform a wide variety of data compression operations. This includes an ability to add, move, extract, delete, update, test, refresh a group of files or folders by a single operation; save or load zipped data from stream; add compressed data from stream. What's more, ZipForge.NET allows compressing files, buffers, streams, strings and repairing corrupted archives. Users will also benefit from its unique Transaction System. This technology delivers a very fast and easy way to update archive files, while providing data integrity like a reliable database system. ZipForge.NET is written entirely in 100%-managed native C# code and takes advantage of all the safety and reliability benefits of the .NET framework. There is a well-designed component interface, plenty of code samples and demos for C#, VB.NET and Delphi.NET. Thanks to all this, the component is easy to incorporate into an application. At any stage of using the component, customers can rely on a quick and knowledgeable response from the technical support team that will help to resolve any problem in less than a few hours.

    - The security alert dialog does not appear when my program sends UD I would like the user to be able to choose "Unblock" on the security alert dialog when my application attempts to send a UDP packet for the first time. However, the securlty alert dialog does not appear. I have to tell the user (when running the app for the first time) to manually add my app to the exceptions list in the firewall. Why isn't windows prompting the user with the security alert dialog? I have the "Display notification..." check box checked, and it still doesn't appear. Is there something I should do before sending the packet? Doesn't the security alert work with UDP packets? Thanks Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120841

    - Saving a locally created Bitmap Seems like this ought to be an easy one. Essentially, using managed C++, I'd like to be able to create a Bitmap locally, set the pixels to particular colors, and save the result. Everything seems to work fine except that upon calling the Bitmap's Save function I always get a status of "FileNotFound" and it creates a file with 0 size. The Code: void CChildView::Test() { Gdiplus::Status stat; Bitmap bmp(2048,2048,PixelFormat24bppRGB); Color red,grn; red.SetFromCOLORREF(RGB(255,0,0)); grn.SetFromCOLORREF(RGB(0,255,0)); int i,j; for(i=0;i<2048;++i) { for(j=0;j<2048;++j) { if(i==j) stat=bmp.SetPixel(i,j,grn); else stat=bmp.SetPixel(i,j,red); } } CString sPath("c:\\test.png"); WCHAR wszPath[256]; MultiByteToWideChar( CP_ACP, 0, sPath, sPath.GetLength()+1, wszPath, sizeof(wszPath)/sizeof(wszPath[0]) ); stat=bmp.Save(wszPath,&ImageFormatPNG); } I should mention that yes, Gdiplus is initialized prior to entering this function. Status (stat) remains "OK" until the Save operation, where it changes to "FileNotFound". What am I missing here? I've had the same problem with different file types (BMP rather than PNG, for instance). Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120839

    - Select Data Source Dialog - Odbc Hi, I am creating my own customize ODBC dialog box (in Vb.NET) just like as we have when we run MSDASC-> DataLinks -> Prompt New(). To acheive this I am using Odbc32.dll and Odbccp32.dll by this I can create DSN by using SQLCreateDataSource and can fetch the name of the available DSNâ??s but I am facing problem in case of Build Connection Stringâ?¦ In the standard DataLink window when we click on the Build button it will open a dialog from where user can choose there DSNâ??s or can create a new oneâ?¦ and after the completion of this operation it returns a connection string thatâ??s became visible in connection string text box of the Datalink window... the same functionality I want from my code. If any one knows which API method should I need to call here or what will be the process for getting the same. It will be very very helpful to me. Thanks Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120834

    - ILASM for Compact Framework 2 I already asked in CF group, but nobody was able to help me - I hope someone here would know the answer... I need to compile some IL code to CF2 class library (.dll). I just tried it, got the dll using something like "c:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ilasm.exe /DLL mycode.il". The DLL looks ok on first sight (I can see all the classes using reflector), but if I add the assembly to my SmartDevice CF2 project in VS2k5, I'm not able to use the classes. The reference is added without any error messages, but the compiler doesn't recognize names of the classes in the assembly if I try to use them... If I try to use the assembly from WinForms project, everything works ok. So it looks like the ilasm generates just full-framework compatible assembly. Is there any special ilasm.exe tool for compact framework? Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120830

    - How to improve performance of Queue accessing between 2 threads? Dear Guys, I write program that sharing Queue between 2 threads which 1 thread add data to Queue. And another thread get data from Queue to process. My situation is if there are alot of data to add (like loop to add). The 2nd thread which try to get data from Queue cannot access or rarely to access that Queue which make the program has low performance. How can I do to improve this situation? I want 2nd thread can access as fast as possible once Queue is not empty. Here is some snippet code:- Thread#1 For i as Integer = 1 To 1000 SyncLock _queue.SyncRoot _queue.Enqueue(i) _newItemEvent.Set() End SyncRoot Next Thread#2 Dim item As Integer While _queue.Count <= 0 Thread.SpinWait(0) End While While _queue.Count > 0 SyncLock _queue.SyncRoot item = DirectCast(_queue.Dequeue(), Integer) ....

    - Dirty property value persist problem in asp.net custom control Hi, I created a custom control, and encountered a dirty property value persistence problem. I created a property with a custom class type, call SQLSettings which holds the SQL connection parameters, the class as follows: public sealed class SQLSettings { private string serverName; ....... public SQLSettings() { this.serverName = string.Empty; ...... } [NotifyParentProperty(true)] public string ServerName { get { return this.serverName; } set { this.serverName = value; } } .................. And, I also created an mapping TypeConverter and UITypeEditor classes to handle the design-time founctinality. The property I created in my conbtrol as follows: [BrowsableAttribute(true)] [CategoryAttribute("Behavior")] [BindableAttribute(true)] [NotifyParentProperty(true)] [EditorAttribute(typeof(SQLSettingsUITypeEditor), typeof(UITypeEditor))] [DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content)] [TypeConverter((Type)typeof(SQLSettingsTypeConverter))] [PersistenceModeAttribute(PersistenceMode.InnerProperty)] public SQLSettings SQLSettingsData { get { return this._sqlSettings; } set { this._sqlSettings = value; } } They all works fine when first set value to this property, I can see the persisted data showed in .aspx file. When I go back to design view and update the property value via my UITypeEditor, I can see the value already updated in VS.NET properties browser. But when I turn to see .aspx file in code view, I didn't see the dirty property value updated in .aspx file. When I turn to design view, the updated property value is lost, it remain keep the first persisted value. How about to solve this problem? Any idea? Thank you for your kindly help.

    - WebRequest Exception: "The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced" We have written an asynchronous download class that uses the WebRequest to perform downloads. Things are working fine in-house, and it's fine for the vast majority of our users, but there is an increasingly large of people who are getting the following exception: Exception Type: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException ErrorCode: 10045 SocketErrorCode: OperationNotSupported NativeErrorCode: 10045 Message: The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced Doing a search on that phrase ("The attempted operation is not supported for the type of object referenced") almost immediately led me to this page: "How to determine and recover from Winsock2 corruption" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259 Using the instructions on that page has worked for 100% of the users with the problem! At first I though, "Great!" But now we're seeing a lot of these, and I'm starting to think that since it's not that isolated, it might not really be a true "problem" on their machines. It might be a firewall program or some other incomptaibility. Have other people seen this before? Do you know of something "innocuous" that could be causing the SocketException? Any hints, guesses, or shots in the dark would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Taylor Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120817

    - Cannot create ActiveX object (on Windows 2000) I have made a small interop function that uses Acrobat Distiller. It works smothly on all the XP machines, but when I try to run it on a Windows 2000,I get this error: System.Exception: Cannot create ActiveX component. at Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject(String ProgId, String ServerName) at MediaBuilder.Utils.PDFCreator.PDFCreator.Main(String[] args) in C: \Visual Studio Projects\Utilities\PDFCreator\Main.cs:line 31 And line 31 looks like this: objDist = (ACRODISTXLib.PdfDistiller) Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject ("PdfDistiller.PdfDistiller",""); What is the difference between running this under XP and 2000? The odd thing is, that I can compile it with out errors on the 2000, it is just when I run it, I get this error. Could it be because of the call/use of Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.CreateObject, that should work W2KSP4. I have also tried DCOM configuration (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q183607), but even with even with this, I still get the error. Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120814

    - MSIL Inquiry involving boxing Hi, I'm following a tutorial and they translate this C#: object[] a = {1, "Hello", 123}; to this IL: .entrypoint .locals (class System.Object[] V_0,class System.Object V_1,class System.Object[] V_2,int32 V_3) ldc.i4.3 newarr [mscorlib]System.Object stloc.2 ldloc.2 ldc.i4.0 ldc.i4.1 stloc.3 ldloca.s V_3 box [mscorlib]System.Int32 stelem.ref ldloc.2 ldc.i4.1 ldstr "Hello" stelem.ref ldloc.2 ldc.i4.2 ldc.i4.s 123 stloc.3 ldloca.s V_3 box [mscorlib]System.Int32 stelem.ref But when I compile similar code, I get a big difference. Instead of putting the integers in a local variable, they are stored directly and boxed via: IL_0006: stloc.2 IL_0007: ldloc.2 IL_0008: ldc.i4.0 IL_0009: ldc.i4.1 IL_000a: box [mscorlib]System.Int32 IL_000f: stelem.ref IL_0010: ldloc.2 IL_0011: ldc.i4.1 IL_0012: ldstr "Hello" IL_0017: stelem.ref IL_0018: ldloc.2 IL_0019: ldc.i4.2 IL_001a: ldc.i4.s 123 IL_001c: box [mscorlib]System.Int32 IL_0021: stelem.ref The big difference is that the number is pushed directly on the stack and boxed, rather than the number going into a local variable and the address being pushed and then boxed. So 2 questions: 1) Why would there be a difference? I tried both 1.1 and 2.0 compilers, but can't seem to get the ldloca.s version? 2) The more interesting question is how does the box instruction work on a "transient pointer?" Here's the interesting segment: ldloc.2 <- push address of array ldc.i4.0 <- push index 0 ldc.i4.1 stloc.3 <- store number one in local integer variable V_3 ldloca.s V_3 <- Put address of local variable on stack box [mscorlib]System.Int32 <- I guess Box will be able to work with the address??? and make a box based on the dereferenced address? stelem.ref For those curious, the tutorial I'm following is: http://www.vijaymukhi.com/documents/books/ilbook/chap12.htm And do a search for the text "It is in stelem.ref and we are not privy to this code". (It's the following example, after this text) Thanks all... -Ben Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120812

    - 'System.InvalidOperationException' An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred I am getting this error when running the built executable directly from the bin folder -- however, it doesn't show when I run from within the IDE (Debug). I've not tried it using Release - as I'm not wanting to "fix" the problem inadvertantly simply by switching modes (if that makes sense). I'm seeing lots of posts regarding this, but all seem general - and none of them, that I found, relate to running under the IDE vs the EXE. I sent the EXE to a collegue who seems to be able to run it just fine. I'd like to find out what it will take to get it working on my dev box, as I'm sure the first customer we install this on will have the same problem (don't ask me how I know, I just do -grin ) Help?

    - Diagnosing System.IO.IOException I have an application that generates and moves 1000s of small text files. Every so often for some unknow reason I start to get the following 2 exceptions: System.IO.IOException: Not enough quota is available to process this command. at System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(String path, String searchPattern) and (if the first exception does not happen we get a bit further and try to move the files we found) System.IO.IOException: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service. at System.IO.File.Move(String sourceFileName, String destFileName) I can see no problems with available memory, the app does not use huge chunks of resources as far as I can tell from taskman and process explorer, restarting the application clears the problem. Load on the app does not seem to cause it as I can hit it VERY hard and it does not fail.. this leads me to think it is down to another application or the OS.

    - system.badimageformatexception returned from custom installer I have a web project that I have converted from VS 2003 to VS 2005. The installer is configured to use detect a newer version and if found to uninstall the old version before installing the new version. The installer in the new version VS 2005 contains custom actions that are compiled with VS 2005. For launch conditions, I have configured the .NET Framework to be at 2.0.50727 and Allow Later Version si set to True. When I run the installer I receive the system.badimageformatexception which references the dll that contains the custom installer code. If I uninstall the 2003 version of the software and then do an install of the 2005 version everything works fine. But if I have the 2003 version installed and then run the installer for the 2005 version I receive the error about the bad image. Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong? Are there workarounds? Will my customers have to uninstall the old version manually before installing the new version? Thanks, Leslie Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120777

    - CrystalReportViewer - Missing Group Headers in Preview I have a VS2005 C# windows application that uses the CrytalReportViewer (Crystal Reports XI Release 2 w/SP1) to view a report. I have two development systems; System1: Windows XP Pro x64 (desktop) System2: Windows XP Pro (laptop) When I run the app on System 1, the group headers and any lines are not visible when previewd on the screen. When exported to pdf or printed, all headers and lines are printed as expected. When I run the app on System 2, the preview is shown as expected. Any one run into this issue, and even better, have an idea of how to resolve it? thanks -- dchman Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120754

    - HttpCFG DS Mapping not working I'm trying to configure DS Mapping with httpcfg. I have a test application using HttpListener which is listening on port 8001 ssl. To configure the ssl certificates I used httpcfg. This is my command: httpcfg set ssl -i 0.0.0.0:8001 -f 3 -c "MY" -h <Certificatehash> -f 3 : Should take care of mutual authentication and with DS Mapping. But it is not working. I know for sure the certificates are fine, and my AD mapping is ok, because if I test with IIS, it works perfect, and authenticates the client with the Windows user. But as soon as I move to my application and httpcfg, it validates the certificates, but it does not authenticate the client with a windows user. I'm using Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity.IsAuthenticated to see if it is working. http query ssl shows this: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IP : 0.0.0.0:8001 Hash : 669b8ab4172fd790d8d5c9aca643f8fbd7 332b1 Guid : {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000} CertStoreName : MY CertCheckMode : 0 RevocationFreshnessTime : 0 UrlRetrievalTimeout : 0 SslCtlIdentifier : (null) SslCtlStoreName : (null) Flags : 3 Can anyone help me??

    - XmlSerializer usage 1) I have an XSD that defines a document structure 2) I have a business object whose internal state can be represented by an XML document that is conformant to the XSD specification Many times, the first thought a lot of folks have is, "Silly, just run your XSD through xsd.exe and you can get a dataset or a class model!" That's not going to work for me, though. My business object contains a good bit of logic and the lightweight zero-method classes that are generated by xsd.exe are not appropriate for what I'm doing. So, I decided to take the approach of implementing the IXmlSerializable interface instead. Life is good. I'm curious, though, how folks insulate their business object from changes in the schema? This object's state is being persisted as an XML string. There will come a time when I have to change the XSD to encance the feature set. So, my class will have to be able to Deserialize its state from either of 2 (or more) different XSD Schemas because there may be older persisted versions (and yes, I want to validate the XML). How do people generally handle this scenario? (no...just not validating the XML is not an option) Here's my approach: If the Class is called Person, then The Class Person Implements the IXmlSerializable interface The Person class has a number of private nested classes (so they have access to the Person class's state fields). These are called DeSerializationFactory Version1Deserializer Version2Deserializer Version3Deserializer ... VersionNDeserializer Serializer When ReadXml is called on the Person Class, the NamespaceURI property is checked. Based on the value of that property a Version[1 2 or 3]Deserializer is created via the DeSerializationFactory. The resultant serializer deserializes the state and then life is good. When WriteXml is called, the default Serializer instance is created and the state is written as XML (always the latest version). This seems to be working for me, but I was curious how other folks mitigate this. Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120742

    - How To: Setup project Custom dialog boxes Hi In my setup project I need a custom dialog box containing a drop down list box. Since this is not avaialble from standard user interface dialog boxes that visual studio supplies, I am using Installer class. This installer class inturn displays the custom dialog box i need. but the problem is this custom dialog box is displayed as a popup window during installation. But I want this custom dialog box to be shown as one of the wizard pages during installation. Has any one done this before? I know some few setup programs that do this. However I am not sure that they used visual studio setup and deployment project to create their setup programs. Thanks Gancy Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120721

    - Drawstring inserts spurious linebreak after character #132 I am using DotNet v1.1.4322. This issue can be replicated with various text fonts - but is easiest to see using WingDings. 1) Create a string which includes character #132 2) Draw it to a Graphics object with DrawString S := #130+#131+#132+#133+#134+#135+#136+#137+#138+#139; F := System.Drawing.Font.Create('WingDings', 16); G.DrawString(S, F, Brushes.Black, 0, 0); The output always wraps immediately after character #132, regardless of font size, StringFormat settings, etc. Is this a bug in DrawString, or is it due to some other setting of which I am not aware? Does it happen in DotNet v2? Tag: User interface editor Tag: 120720

I am able to add different dialogs to my deployment project using the User
Interface Editor in Visual Studio .NET 2003 but I am yet to find out how to
retrieve the values entered by the user during installation.

For example, if I add a new dialog which contains a TextBox and I ask the
user to enter their name, how do I retrieve that name?

I have scanned the web for a long time and yet I still haven't seen an
example of how to get the values entered by the user during installation.

Can anyone please point me to a suitable demonstration?
