    - How to get the right character set / language to show in a RichTextBox? I'm new to unicode and language issues. Basically I have a RichTextBox and I'm filling it with a string that could be any number of different languages. Sometimes the characters show up correctly - ie Chinese, Korean, etc, but sometimes they just show up as junk. If I know what the language it is supposed to be, is there any way I can select the proper codepage and/or encoding? I'm using C# btw. TIA Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75864

    - DataGrid - row background colors - re-paint issues For my DataGrid application, what I need to do was display certain rows in one background color and certain rows in another based on changes in one column. I extended the DataGridTextBoxColumn class - essentially creating my own custom DataGridColoredTextBoxColumn class. Inside of that class I was able to override the Paint method: protected override void Paint(System.Drawing.Graphics g, System.Drawing.Rectangle bounds, System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, System.Drawing.Brush backBrush, System.Drawing.Brush foreBrush, bool alignToRight) { and through some other method calls, am indeed able to color the backgrounds of my rows the way I want. The problems start happening when I scroll up and down or left and right. The repaint is horrific - leaving remnants of other cells where new cells just appeared due to scrolling and the colors get all out of whack )-: Does anyone have any ideas how to avoid this crappy repaint issue?? I've tried blocking the base.paint from getting called once the grid has been painted to my satisfaction, but this leaves me looking at nothing. Need help - thanks in advance!!

    - Sql Adapter in windows forms application vs webservice I am somewhat new to .NET and am working on a windows forms application in C#. My application will be accessing a database on a different machine than the windows application. About 10 instances of the windows forms application will be accessing the database at any given time. No other application needs to use the data. From a performance standpoint, is it better to have the windows forms application access the database with sqlAdapters right in the application, or is it better to use a webservice to return a dataset?

    - How to see when a Combox.Text is empty? Hi, How can you see if a DataBound ComboBox is empty? When I selected an Item, and afterwards I press "Delete" there isn't a value visible for the user, but the applciation still 'thinks' there is a value in it: the Text-property remains the last value, just like the SelectedIndex and SelectedValue... My user should be able to chose either a value out of the list, or nothing (= empty combobox). Does anybody knows how to do this? And with which event I can trigger this, because the MyComboBox.SelectedIndexChanged doesn't work on such a moment... Thansk a lot in advance, Pieter Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75854

    - implement a Join between 2 DataTables (Dynamic SQL generation is not supported against multiple base tables) Hi, For my VB.NET application I have the following situation: 2 tables on my SQL Server: tblAccounts and tblRules. For each Account there are many Rules (so tblRules is linked to my tblAccounts by the Account). In the tblAccounts thee is a field Company which occurs many times (there is more than one Account for each Company:). Whet I want to do on my Fom is this: I have a combobox with all my company's in it. When I choce a Company in it, I want it to give me all the Rules for all the Accounts that this Company has. I tried it like this: 'TblRULES strSql = "SELECT * FROM tblRules INNER JOIN tblAccounts ON tblRules.Account = tblAccounts.Account" Dim cmdSql As New SqlCommand(strSql, conSql) dadRules = New SqlDataAdapter(cmdSql) Dim cbSql As New SqlCommandBuilder(dadRules) cbSql.GetUpdateCommand() dtsRules = New DataSet dadRules.Fill(dtsRules, "tblRules") Unfortunately this gives me this error: Dynamic SQL generation is not supported against multiple base tables. at System.Data.Common.CommandBuilder.BuildInformation(DataTable schemaTable) So I guess it's not good to put a join in a SqlCommand and try to do an Update afterwards on it. The 'good' way should be to somewhere be able to put tblRules and tblAccounts as two different tables in my DataSet, and perform the Join n the DataSet or something like that when I need to do a search on the Company. does anybody knows how to do this? Or to get rid of that error? I just need the best way to get this working! Thanks a lot in advance! Any help will be really appreciated! Pieter Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75844

    - Binding Custom Objects to DataGrid Hello, I am trying to bind custom business objects and sub objects to a datagrid. I am able to bind properties of an Array of, lets say Employee objects to a datagrid. However, I am having trouble binding to an property that points to another object, let say Address. Here is an example: ----------------------- // Get Array of Employee Objects. Employee[] emps = EmployeeDAC.Get(); dataGrid.dataSource = emps; // // Use DataGridTableStyles to display properties. // DataGridTableStyle tableStyle = new DataGridTableStyle(); tableStyle.MappingName = SubcontractorSchema.TableName; tableStyle.MappingName = "Employee"; // Employee Name. (This works) col = new DataGridTextBoxColumn(); col.MappingName = "Name"; col.HeaderText = "Employee Name"; tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(col); // Street Address. (DOESN'T WORK) col = new DataGridTextBoxColumn(); col.MappingName = "Address.Street"; col.HeaderText = "Street"; tableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(col); I have also tried to create a typed collection but that didn't end up working either.

    - Catching exceptions thrown by an MDI Child Form separately Hi All, How can you capture unhandled exceptions thrown by an MDI child form separate from the entire app? I have an application-wide exception handler to catch crashes by doing the following in my Application entry point: Public Shared Sub Main() 'Explicitly set apartment state to Single Thread Apartment (STA) System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.ApartmentState = System.Threading.ApartmentState.STA Dim eh As New MyExceptionHandler() AddHandler Application.ThreadException, AddressOf eh.OnThreadException Application.Run(New Form1) End Sub The form that I'm using to handle this reports/logs the exception and closes down the application. This works perfectly. I now want to enhance this functionality by catching unhandled exceptions within individual MDI Child forms so that I can close down just the child form and not the entire app. I'm having trouble isolating the exceptions thrown by the child forms separately. Does anyone have any tips on how best to do this? Thanks, --Josh Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75821

If I turn the FormBorderStyle back on and use the forms borders to resize I do not see this choppy drawing effect and it looks great. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Bob Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75804

    - Owner draw on the MainMenu and MenuItem Like most fans of eye candy, I've always thought the standard MainMenu control was a bit drab. After looking at third party components, I decided to see if I could brute force it into looking nice. I set the owner draw on the menu items to true, and draw the MenuItems differently depending on whether or not their selected, thus providing nice Outlook 2003 menu styling. The only problem is, there is no 'unselected' event, so I can't redraw the item when the mouse or keyboard has moved elsewhere. The only thing I could find that semi-worked, was to call an internal method on the MenuItem object to force a redraw. This works OK for everything apart from the root level MenuItem. When I try this method on the root level MenuItem it, for want of a better phrase, spags out and messes up the painting of the whole form. Not grumbling too much, it is afterall an internal method. Anyone know of a way to work with the MainMenu et. al. classes to make them look nice rather than replacing them? Cheers, Tim H Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75788

    - Copy DataRows to Typed DataSet Hello, I developed a custom Windows control that displays a data grid of all orders for a customer. Since the control only needs to use the Orders table within the parent data set (along with the customer ID to filter), it seemed logical to only give the control what it needs. That's my reasoning for the code below... \\\ Public Sub New(ByRef Orders As myTypedDataSet.OrdersTable, _ ByVal CustomerID As Integer) MyBase.New() InitializeComponent() dsLocal.Orders = Orders _Customer_ID = CustomerID End Sub Private _CustomerID As Integer Private dsLocal As myTypedDataSet Private Sub ctlOrdersForCustomer_Load(ByVal _ sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _ Handles MyBase.Load myDataView.Table = dsLocal.Orders myDataView.RowFilter = "CustomerID = " & _CustomerID.ToString myDataView.Sort = "OrderDate DESC" myGrid.DataSource = myDataView End Sub /// My problem is that I can't pass the Orders table as an argument because it is part of a typed data set. VS.NET complains about dsLocal.Orders being read-only in the following statement of the constructor: dsLocal.Orders = Orders How can I set the local typed dataset table to the incoming parameter? I've also tried the Copy, ImportRow, and LoadDataRow methods with no luck. Does anyone know how this can be done? Thank you very much! Eric Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75768

    - Finding all controls of specified type on a form I need to find all instances of a specific type of control on a Windows Form -- for example all DataGrids. The code I came up with is this: foreach(Control ctrl in this.Controls) { if(ctrl.GetType() == Type.GetType("System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid")) Console.WriteLine(((DataGrid)ctrl).Name); } This code has two problems. Something's wrong with the type checking, because it doesn't find any DataGrids on a form. Even if it did work, the second problem is that this would find only DataGrids put directly on the form (in the Form.Controls collection), but a Grid can also be in the ControlCollection of a GroupBox or some other container. How to loop through all controls in a form regardless of their parent control? Best regards, Joe Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75766

    - saveFileDialog - bug & question Ok, I finally got to .NET development after a long break and i decided to write an app :) I started with functionality classes, so my app is currently console, and what it did (at work) was do something, get big xml document assembled, and then prompt the user for sme path to save it to and save it. Here's the basic code (sorry, it's not indented correctly, I posted right from VS and it doesn't seem to keep indent; well, it is small and simple anyway): public static int Main(string[] args) { XmlDocument xmlDocument = new XmlDocument(); FileSystemInfoLister xmlFS = new FileSystemInfoLister(); xmlFS.Extension = "mp3"; xmlDocument = xmlFS.GetFileSystemInfoList("e:\\"); SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog = new SaveFileDialog(); saveFileDialog.Filter = "xml files (*.xml)|*.xml|All files (*.*)|*.*" ; saveFileDialog.FilterIndex = 1; saveFileDialog.RestoreDirectory = true; saveFileDialog.OverwritePrompt = false; saveFileDialog.DefaultExt = "xml"; if ( saveFileDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK ) { xmlDocument.Save(saveFileDialog.FileName); } return 0; } The classes finsih functioning and the program hangs up. Console window is up and nothing's happening. If oyu break it, turns out, it is hanging on "if" line. I tried moving showdialog to separate line before if - it is hanging on it. If you step into, step over or continue, it continues hanging; break it and it is on the same line. No dialog appears. What's happening? Oh and btw, there's addtional problem with dialog. When it worked (at work ;) ), the dialog behaved strangely without saveFileDialog.OverwritePrompt = false; line. Namely, it returned "Cancel" result when I picked existing file and confirmed that I want to overwrite it. Why's that? Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75765

    - Making updates to DataTable/DataGrid from within another thread Hi all! In my app I implemented a separate worker thread that handles network communication using Net.Sockets. It needs to make updates to a DataTable object, which is displayed to the user by a DataGrid control. The DataTable object is a 'public static' field instantiated within context of the main thread. The problem is that if I add a column to the DataTable from within the worker thread (eg. different thread than where the DataTable and DataGrid reside in), all columns suddenly disappear from the DataGrid view for some reason; Controller.dataTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn("TestColumn")); If I move this code to the main thread, it works fine. After adding new column, I looked at dataTable with debugger and it seemed fine. So the culprit must be the DataGrid control. Do I need some kind of thread synchronization?

    - Databinding COM object properties When attempting to add databindings between a simple COM object properties and text box fields, I get the following error: Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Cannot bind to property or column Id on DataSource. Parameter name: dataMember at System.Windows.Forms.BindToObject.CheckBinding() at System.Windows.Forms.BindToObject.SetBindingManagerBase(BindingManagerBase lManager) at System.Windows.Forms.Binding.SetListManager(BindingManagerBase bindingManagerBase) at System.Windows.Forms.ListManagerBindingsCollection.AddCore(Binding dataBinding) ... I have a trivial form that contains 3 text boxes (id, first name, last name) and the form class instantiates the COM object in the constructor. Also in the constructor, I add the databindings: public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); m_edtId.DataBindings.Add("Text", m_user, "Id"); m_edtLastName.DataBindings.Add("Text", m_user, "LastName"); m_edtFirstName.DataBindings.Add("Text", m_user, "FirstName"); } The COM object has get/set for these three properties and works fine if I don't use databinding. Also, if I replace the COM object with a managed class that has these properties, I don't have any problems with the databinding. Thanks for any assistance. Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75763

    - Deployment Question (networked) Hi all, I'm relatively new to .Net and especially the Windows side of it (I come from a web background). I have recently started dabbling in Windows apps - one thing I would like to be able to do is install my application across several PC's on a network, can anyone suggest how this could be achieved? My application will be using a small xml file as a config file - I was going to have one of these present for each install of the application - however I think it might be better if this was in one central location (ie on the server) so that a) a normal user would be unable to change it, b) when it needs changing its only changed in one location - not across 30+ client PC's etc. Can anyone advise as to whether this is a good approach - or whether having a config file for each installation would be better - a bonus of this would be if the server was ever to fail the client apps could still run as they'd have their own config files etc. I have used the Install Wizard in Visual Studio once - and it seemed very straight forward, and put a pretty front end to the install process - I have no idea however whether this is particularly customisable, ie, what if I want to still have a file on each install (client) that tells it where to get the main config file from - this should be perhaps something entered during the install yet the Wizard did not seem to give any options for adding extra information(ie, asking questions) during the install process - other than the location of where the application would be installed. Any information at all on this subject would be appreciated. Kind regards Rob Meade Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75762

    - Custom Components, Threads, and Invoke I've created a custom component that is derived from the Component class. This component can be added to a form. What I've noticed is that I run into problems if I call methods on the component from a different thread than the one in which it was created. I'm aware that you should never access a windows form control from another thread but should call the parent form's Invoke or BeginInvoke methods passing them a delegate they can call that will in turn access the control. Does this apply to custom components as well? If so, is this documented any where? Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75746

    - Overflow or underflow in arithmetic operation in CrystalReportView I am boggled by this. I have a form that calls another form that runs a crystal report viewer in it. My program was running fine. I modified it a little bit and try to run it again and now I get the error "Overflow or underflow in arithmetic operation" everytime the form trys to load because in the InitializeComponent() function in .net when it is trying to create the crystal report viewer it crashes and throws that error. I do not know what causes this error. I'd appreciate a way to troubleshoot this thanks. David Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75745

    - ExecuteCommand on Windows Service I have a windows forms app that interacts with a windows service that I made. My windows forms app can iteract with the windows service well. It can start & stop the service, etc. But one thing it cannot do is call the ExecuteCommand method of the windows service. I get an "access denied" error message when I try. I've come to understand that the service must somehow have the correct ACL's set to allow this. But I don't know how to set up the correct ACLs. I'd like to do it programmatically if possible, but even a manual solution would be better than nothing for now. Any suggestions? Thanks, Steve Tag: About DLL Addin Tag: 75742

    - ApplicationContext for multiple forms and SaveFileDialog I created an ApplicationContext class to allow my application to have multiple top-level forms. The code is similar to the MSDN sample ImageBrowser article (Chris Anderson) to provide the MDI like behavior not found in Windows Forms. (I've extended it a bit so I can get any command line arguments off of subsequent invocations.) This seems to work very well for maintaining the open forms and exiting the application when the last window is closed. However, I am seeing an issue that is easy to reproduce even in a smaller sample application. 1. Start the application, see Form1 2. Create Form2 (from a button on Form1) 3. Close Form1 4. Select File.Save on Form2 which creates a default SaveFileDialog. 5. Select a file that already exists and press Save. This throws an ObjectDisposedException siting Form1 as disposed. This occurs when the SaveFileDialog is trying to display the overwrite prompt (messagebox). A stack trace shows EnumThreadWindows to disable all top level forms, retrieves the disposed form and tries to create a handle. (If I turn off the SaveFileDialog.OverwritePrompt property, it just overwrites the file but no exception is thrown). My guess is that there is a bug in the framework so I'm looking for a work around to this.

Hi friends,
I, Tushar Patil, doing project using C#,MS-SQL server.
I want to develope project with one functionality & send it to my
client.(Setup)
Next time when I develope additional functionality, I just want to send dll
to my client.(just like AddIn to Outlook) i.e. My new functionality is an
add-in to my client. And he will add this functionality to his installed
Project.
Is .NET support this? Do you any solution for this? Is there is any url
that explain this type of development in details?
