    - Datagrid probem MS What happened to response within 2 days??? <b>This is my 2nd time posting this question without a response from Microsoft</b> I have a form that fills a datagrid on load and binds it to controls. If I move the currency manager in code, the grid's selected row does not follow. However, if I fill and bind the grid after load, then moving the currency manager works correctly. The application is loading from a url and is running with only internet permissions. If the application is running in the intranet zone everything works correctly. If you need any addtional information please ask. -- Thanks, Greg Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app? Tag: 84965

    - How many UI thread could a .NET Window Form application have? Hello all, This is a basic question about windows form. But it has puzzled me for a long time. Normally, A windows application based on .net frame has only one UI thread. And other threads are work threads as I know. Could I create a second UI thread on a new Form. If I created a modeless form, is this form still running on the same UI thread? Thanks, Max Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app? Tag: 84960

    - dotnet framework 2.0 If I download the 2005 beta express versions and install them, will the .NET framework 2.0 (beta) replace the existing 1.1 (non-beta) that's on my machine? What I mean is will I have two versions side by side - i.e. is the beta marked as 'this version is not allowed to replace an existing one' but a non-beta isn't marked with that, is what I'm trying to get at. And if 1.1 is installed over the top of 1.0, then does it replace it, and if so, does an application developed with 1.0 still run against 1.1? When 2.0 (non-beta) is out, will it then replace 1.1 and will 1.1 applications still run against it? Thanks Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app? Tag: 84949

    - XP Styles with .NET 1.1 Hello Everyone! I wonder, what is the best method to enable Windows XP Styles (or Themes.. :)) within .NET 1.1 application? I found some article, where author has described post-build modyfication of app.manifest from Win32 Resource of .exe file to bind against comctl32.dll version 6. But this generates very weird behaviour of my app. e.g.. list control items overlap and tab control with vertical tabs does not show text on the tabs (and its borders are drawn incorrectly). How to do this 100% efficiently and correctly?.. Thanks for any advice, Paul Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app? Tag: 84940

    - Problem with loosely coupled events I've been fighting with loosely coupled events for the last couple of days, and currently have the following scenario: Interface namespace MyAssembly { public interface IMySink { void OnSyncEvent(); } [EventClass] public class MyEventClass : ServicedComponent,IMySink { public void OnSyncEvent () { throw(new NotImplementedException(exception)); } const string exception = @"You should not call an event class directly. Register this assembly using RegSvcs /reconfig"; } } Message Class public class MyMessage { public string Forename; public string Surname; } Publisher IMySink sink = new MyEventClass(); MyMessage myMessageObj = new MyMessage(); myMessageObj.Forename = "John"; myMessageObj.Surname = "Smith"; // Code for SerializeThis not included string myMessageStr = SerializeThis(myMessageObj); sink.OnSyncEvent(myMessageStr); Subscriber class SynchronisationSubscriberClass :ServicedComponent, IMySink { private MyWindowsFormClass formWindow; public MyWindowsFormClass FormWindow { set {formWindow = value;} } public void OnSyncEvent (string message) { MyMessage myMessageObj = DeserializeThis(message); formWindow.DoSomethingWithMessage(myMessageObj); } } Problem When the OnSyncEvent method is called in the subscriber the instance of formWindow is null. I presume this is because the code is running in a COM+' s memory space and not the memory space that the rest of the application which instantiated the subscriber is running. If this is the case how do I hook back into my main application? Hopefully somebody out there can help me as Microsoft's help in this area is next to non-existent.

    - Problem in deriving class from XmlNode Hi All, I want to make a custom class in c#, which extends System.Xml.XmlNode class of BCL. Now in custom class, I have implement abstract methods of XmlNode class also. Now when I am trying to run the class it gives an error that "System.Xml.XmlNode.XmlNode() is inaccessible due to its protection level". This error comes because XmlNode has not any public constructor. I found XmlNode has two constructor but both are private or friend (i dont know exactly). I also found one MSDN article where it says that "Never derive any class directly from XmlNode" but its just recommendation. (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/ht ml/cpconextendingdom.asp) Though, Microsoft has derived some of BCL classes from base XmlNode, so why we can not derive? System.Object System.Xml.XmlNode System.Xml.XmlAttribute System.Xml.XmlDocument System.Xml.XmlDocumentFragment System.Xml.XmlEntity System.Xml.XmlLinkedNode System.Xml.XmlNotation So i think there must be some way out of this.... So what to do to create a derived class from XmlNode? I heard that many experts are giving their service in news groups. So please help me out of this. I have already derived few of my classes from XmlDocument, XmlElement, XmlAttribute etc. So i dont want to derive from them but i want to derive the class from XmlNode it self. Please help me to get the answer... Thanks in Advance. Thanking you, Mahesh Devjibhai Dhola "Empower yourself...." Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app? Tag: 84907

    - Can I append to an encrypted text file? I need to encrypt messages printed to an application event log. I've copied the approach described in MS "307010 - How To Encrypt and Decrypt a File by Using Visual C# .NET", but I want to append. This MS example (and all other examples I've found) assumes one will read an entire plain text file, encrypt it, then write the entire file to disk. I only want to append individual lines of encrypted text to an encrypted file, then read the thing. Below is a complete console app that shows the code I am using. It "works" if I only write one line to the file and then decrypt, but subsequent lines get mangled. I'd appreciate any advice. using System; using System.IO; using System.Security; using System.Security.Cryptography; using System.Text; namespace CryptoSample { public class CryptoSample3 { private const string Key = "1234abcd"; private const string LogFilePath="C:\\Log.log"; static void LogIt(string Msg) { //append encrypted string to the log using(FileStream LogFile = new FileStream(LogFilePath,FileMode.Append,FileAccess.Write)) { DESCryptoServiceProvider DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider(); DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Key); DES.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Key); ICryptoTransform desencrypt = DES.CreateEncryptor(); CryptoStream cryptostream = new CryptoStream(LogFile,desencrypt,CryptoStreamMode.Write); byte[] bytearrayinput = new byte[Msg.Length]; bytearrayinput=ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(Msg); cryptostream.Write(bytearrayinput, 0, bytearrayinput.Length); cryptostream.Close(); LogFile.Close(); } } static string ViewLog(string DecryptKey) { DESCryptoServiceProvider DES = new DESCryptoServiceProvider(); DES.Key = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(DecryptKey); DES.IV = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(DecryptKey); //read the encrypted file back. using(FileStream LogFile = new FileStream(LogFilePath,FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read)) { ICryptoTransform desdecrypt = DES.CreateDecryptor(); CryptoStream cryptostreamDecr = new CryptoStream(LogFile,desdecrypt,CryptoStreamMode.Read); return(new StreamReader(cryptostreamDecr).ReadToEnd()); } } static void Main() { LogIt("This is the Message "); LogIt(" This is Message Two "); LogIt(" This is Message Three "); string s = ViewLog(Key); Console.Write(s); Console.WriteLine ("Press Enter to continue..."); Console.ReadLine(); } } } Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app?

    - converting double to string I have some values in type of double such 0.00009 , 0.0000007, when I want to show them in a text box and convert them to string they are changed to scientific notation while I want to show them as they are. I tried to use tostring("f") but it needs to have a precision number after *f* which will cause always have fix number of characters (for example if use f10 then 0.09 is converted to 0.09000000 while I need to show it as 0.09). do you any suggestion of how I can convert such a numbers to string and show them as they are not as scientific notation?

    - Passing parameters to a thread Hi, I'm running into a thread problem. The context is a distributed application constituted of a controller and several satellites performing a given job. In the controller application, I have to send command requests over the network to a list of satellites. In order to parallelize request sending, I'd like to have each request (one per satellite) sent by a single Thread. The problem is how would a given thread know which satellite he should be taking care of since it seems like I can't pass parameters to a thread. My threads can have access to the list (a Hashtable actually) of satellites, but how would a given thread know exactly which one it should be taking care of ? I would need, at least, to pass an index to each thread... Any idea or comment is welcome. Thanks in advance. Arno Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app? Tag: 84816

    - Compatibility Issues with .NET Framework Hello: My Problem is simple. I develop vb.net applications using VisualStudio 2003, and now there's a strange problem. I wrote a backup application for a friend of mine, using SharpZipLib to create ZIP-Files. Now I installed the latest dot-Net Framework on his Win2K machine, and I got the following error Message: "C:\WinNT\Microsoft.NET\v1.1.4332\mscorwks.dll could not be loaded". I figured out that I always need to install the exact .NET Framework-Version number on the computer the application should be running on, as I used to develop Software, and now I'm afraid to install the latest .NET Service Pack, since I suppose all software that is beeing re-built afterwards won't run on the target computer unless the user also installs the latest service pack. Why is this so, and how can I fix this ? If I create an Installer-application using the Installer-Wizzard in Visual Studio it won't even start, complaining that not the right version of the .NET Framework is installed, and I can only find my exact version of the framework on the Visual Studio DVD nowhere else !

EventLog myLog = new EventLog(); myLog.Source = "MySource"; // Write an informational entry to the event log. myLog.WriteEntry("Writing to event log."); } } I found that these event logs I created using EventLog are ***different*** from those default event logs come with XP (again, those "System", "Application" etc.) For one, althogh I can see the event in EventViewer without problem, but when I right click on my event log (for example, "MyNewLog", which is created using the above sample), the properties for it is different from those for the default system event log. The log name field is greyed out (empty) and the Size, Created, Modified, and Accessed values are all empty (shown as "Not avaiable". The problem is that I tried to access my custom event log using the WMI. With script such as this one: Select * from Win32_NTEventlogFile It only returns 3 objects, namely the default system event log ("system", "application", and "security"). My custom event log file is NOT returned. The static EventLog.GetEventLog (in .net) does returns me the correct collections of event log files. But my application requires me to access those files through WMI. I am stuck at here. I have spend quit sometime trying to find out why. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

    - Avoiding security issue with URL? I use one page as a template and include a header, footer, and allow the main content area to change, based on a varible I supply via the URL. The variable holds a reference to another page and pulls it into the main page. Going from the main page to pageB will look like: index.asp?p=page Sometimes I append other URL parameters. These may be values, such as a user ID, that goes into the database to set conditions on a stored procedure. This is a security risk. Some one could manipulate this value and access another user's information. What are some examples of good security for this situation?

    - How to submit bug report? How does one go about submitting a bug report to Microsoft for a defect in the .NET framework v1.1.4322? I was able to find a site for reporting bugs in the upcoming VisualStudio 2005 but nowhere could I find a way to submit bug reports for any other product. Is there a way to submit a bug report for v1.1 of the .NET framework or are any idiosyncrasies to be treated as features ;) Thanks Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app?

    - Missing Assembly Reference / ListIem in a Windows App I'm trying to work through an MSDN example, this is the link.. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/msdnmag/issues/01/02/winforms/toc.asp It is a Windows App but VisualStudio (2003) objects to 'ListItem', If I create a Web App, I can use the ListItem object, which needs using System.Web.UI . If I create a Windows App then I can't use using System.Web.UI it suggests I might be missing an Assembly Reference. I'm not sure what to do?

    - Parsing of App.config varies by machine I've run into a strage and frustrating problem. I've written some configuration classes that implement IConfigurationSectionHandler to read custom sections in my App.config file. On my primary development machine they work great. This morning I started debugging the application on a different machine and I'm getting ConfigurationExceptions in my classes. The problem seems to be that the App.config is being read differently; it tries to parse whitespace that it didn't on the first machine. Here is my Create() method: public object Create ( object parent, object configContext, System.Xml.XmlNode section) { Hashtable servers = new Hashtable(); foreach (XmlNode srvNode in section.ChildNodes) { NameValueSectionHandler h = new NameValueSectionHandler(); NameValueCollection nvc; nvc = (NameValueCollection) h.Create(parent, configContext, srvNode); // this is where exceptions are being thrown int id = Convert.ToInt32(nvc["ID"]); servers.Add(id, new Server( nvc["Node"], nvc["User"], nvc["Password"], id)); } return servers; } Here is the relevant section of App.config: <Servers> <srv1> <add key="ID" value="1" /> <add key="Node" value="node1" /> <add key="User" value="XXXXXX" /> <add key="Password" value="XXXXXX" /> </srv1> <srv2> <add key="ID" value="2" /> <add key="Node" value="node2" /> <add key="User" value="XXXXXX" /> <add key="Password" value="XXXXXX" /> </srv2> </Servers> I've done some experimenting and found that on the second machine (where the code is failng) the foreach loop is executed five times. On iterations 1, 3 and 5, srvNode contains just whitespace (InnerXml == "" and InnerText consists of \r\n's and \t's) and on iterations 2 and 4 srvNode contains the proper child nodes (<srv1> and <srv2>, respectively) as expected. On the machine I originally wrote the code on, the loop is executed only twice, once for each child node of <Servers>. Does anyone have an explanation for this? I haven't changed any machine-level configurations that I'm aware of. Thanks. Tag: How concern that user on workstation run the Latest ver of my app? Tag: 84744
