    - Datagridview scrolling bug? due to invisible row's height adjust I have a datagridview, setting its datasource to a dataview which is over an datatable in memory. no filtering rules applied on dataview/datatable. AutoGenerateColumns = false; AllowUserToAddRows = false; EditMode = DataGridViewEditMode.EditProgrammatically; MultiSelect = false; AutoSize = true; SelectionMode = DataGridViewSelectionMode.FullRowSelect; RowHeadersVisible = false; AutoSizeRowsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeRowsMode.AllCellsExceptHeaders; AutoSizeColumnsMode = DataGridViewAutoSizeColumnsMode.Fill; ColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode = DataGridViewColumnHeadersHeightSizeMode.DisableResizing; ColumnHeadersDefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.False; DefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True; RowsDefaultCellStyle.WrapMode = DataGridViewTriState.True; The problem is: Assume displaying area can display 10 rows, and I having 30 rows, row 10 has a cell value which is too long and will be wrapped. this row's height will be bigger than normal. I select this row, then scroll further down until this row scroll up till invisible. Now click a button to edit the corresponding value of that cell in the datatable such that it is short and no more wordwrap. Since AutoSizeRowsMode applies to all cells, the row contain that cell will be updated with a smaller height. Then scroll up till top, Exception comes out: See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Index was out of range.

Now try to resize the datagrid , then this problem disappears. Looks like when a row's height is adjusted while it is not displayed, the scrollbar value is not updated. Feel like a bug. Any idea?

    - UserControl Docking/Resizing Problems I have a UserControl (size = 800 x 600) that contains a TableLayoutPanel. The TableLayout Panel's Dock property is set to Fill. When I place this UserControl in the left panel of a SplitContainer and set its Dock property to Fill, it takes on the size of the panel (500 x 600), but the TableLayoutPanel remains 800 x 600. If I return to the design tab for the UserControl and change it's size manually to 500 x 600, however, the TableLayoutPanel resizes as expected. Note: I experimented with the AutoSize, AutoSizeMode, and Anchor properties but none of these made any difference. Another Note: If I change the size of the left panel of the SplitContainer to 900 x 600, the TableLayoutPanel *expands* to fill the extra 100 pixels. So, expanding works but shrinking doesn't. And this is true even if I set the AutoSizeMode to GrowAndShrink. Any idea what's going on here? Visual Studio bug or programmer error? :) Thanks, -Dan Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103905

    - Combobox autocomplete I'm working with C# in Visual Studio 2005. I have a combobox with AutoCompleteSource = ListItems and DropDownStyle = DropDown. I want users to be able to type in the combobox and the control to autocomplete (Append AutoCompleteMode), but have their options limited to the control's ListItems. Right now the autocomplete works fine, but they can type anything that isn't in the list. Is there an easy way to set the control to do this or am I going to have to write code to verify what was typed during TextUpdate or another event? Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103893

    - WinForms Drop Down List Hi- Hopefully this is a simple one. I need a "Drop down list" - kind of like a Combo Box but without the ability to type arbitrary text. I tried a list box, but I want to only show one item in the list, unless the user selects the "drop" arrow, it which case the list expands and the user can select a single item. I am using .net c++ winforms and have done this before, but can not find the right magic to make it work under .net / winforms. Thanks for the help! Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103884

    - adding designtime support for property of usercontrol (InitializeComponents) I have a very simple UserControl (derived from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl) that contains several ListViews. The UserControl exposes a single public property: public ListView.ColumnHeaderCollection Columns { get {...} }; When I use VS2005 designer's proprtygrid for that UserConrol to add new Colums to the Collection everything works fine: The form that contains the UserControl gets new members ( private System.Windows.Forms.ColumnHeader columnHeader1, ...) in the UserControl.Designer.cs also initializes each ColumnHeader inside InitializeComponets(). There is one thing though that the designer fails to do: it does not add the necessary: this.userControl1.Columns.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.ColumnHeader[] {this.columnHeader1,this.columnHeader2,...}); into the InitializeComponent() Method in the UserControl.Designer.cs. What do I need to do to make that happen ? Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103882

I find this a pain and I would prefer the default to be "OnPropertyChanged". Does anyone know if this default could be changed or how I could go about overriding this behaviour. e.g. using descendant controls.

    - NumericUpDown select contents I am having a hard time trying to select thet contents of a NumericUpDown control when it gets focus. When the control gets focus I want all the contents to be selected so that the user would per default overwrite it when she enters data. Basically I overrode OnEnter and did this.Select(0, this.Value.ToString().Length); (seems a bit cumbersome, but I haven't found a better way of doing it). Nothing happens. MSDN documentation states NumericUpDown should have a Text property, I can't see that it does. It does not have a Selection property either, so if I needed the actual selected numbers I don't see how I would get that. When you TAB into the control the contents is selected (as I want it) so I know this must be possible to do when I select it with the mouse also. Thanks. Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103857

When I set my smtp server as some ip address which is a smtp server and when the smtp runs in my local machine where my exe resides, the mail is sent perfectly. 2. When i specify the ip address of some amtp server in my intranet and when the smtp server is not configured in my local machine whre my exe resides, the send mail fails. My doubts: 1. Eventhough i sent it to the correct ip address of local intranet which is having amtp server , why it is not working? 2. Does it expect to run smtp service in the local machine? 3. Whether smtp has to be configured in local machine. But logically it should not be the case. It should work eventhough the smtp is not configured in the local machine and if it is configured in any other machine which is having amtp server 4. some of the sites specified that the smtp server should be hard coded as "localhost".

That's 36 x 6 x $1 = $216. The next 216 people also send 200 messages with your name on number 2. That's 216 x 6 x $1 = $1296!. Those 1296 people again also send 200 messages with your name on number 1. That will give us a total of 1296 x 6 x $1 = $7,776. Now the last tier! 7776 x 6 x $1 = $46,656!!!!!!

    - Windows App Freezing I have a muti-threaded windows app that creates child forms in a separate thread which then invoke a delegate on the MDI parent form. I have put all time-consuming tasks on separate background workers like running stored proc, poppulating data grid, etc. I am running VB.Net 2005 on Windows 2000 SP4 and on XP SP2. After a period of inactivity in the app (15-30 minutes), it freezes. The task manager says its running but I cannot switch to it. I tried using the DoEvents method on a timer but that had very strange results - the app was responsive but all the functionailty errored out. I read up on message pumps and STA model. Even though its should be an MTA, when I try and do application.run - it forces me to create the MDIFrm as STA or a Treeview control on it will not register drag-drop events. I am not using application.run but have set the MDIForm as startp form (and not set it to run as single instance so it should be STA). I am not using any COM but am using Infragistics 3rd party grid control and dock manager. Both are .Net components and don't require registering. The MDIForm as a treeview, dockmanger and a tablelayout panel prior to opening child forms. Any ideas why this freezing is occurring? It was much more frequent (even if there was activity) on XP with SP1 but with SP2, it was much less. Please advise. Thanks Anita Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103849

    - WebBrowser control and clearing/deleting cookies I have an application that uses an instance of the WebBrowser control. This WebBrowser instance stays active and is never closed while the application runs. I need advice on how to delete the cookies used by the WebBrowser control. The plan is for the application to "timeout" after a short time (30 seconds) and return to a clean state -- with all cookies from the prior session deleted or cleared, regardless of the expiration dates set on those cookies. I need to clear the cookies used by the WebBrowser instance. I have tried the following with no success: 1. webBrowser1.Document.Cookie = ""; 1.a. webBrowser1.Document.Cookie = null; For both of these, webBrowser1.Document.Cookie was unaltered, it did not change. 2. Parse webBrowser1.Document.Cookie into a System.Web.HttpCookieCollection, then iterate through the cookie collection, setting cookie.Expires to a date prior to today. Then write these cookies back to webBrowser1.Document.Cookie. This resulted in webBrowser1.Document.Cookie having duplicate cookie items, but without expires. One idea may be to delete the cookies via the file system. Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103843

    - ClickOnce App Won't Start I've got a client with a computer on which no ClickOnce app will start when run with a URL command line. The OS is Win 2003 Server. If I try to run an app directly from the user's cache (<user dir>\Local Settings\Apps\2.0) it will work. My first thought was a permissions issue. So I added the URL to the 'Trusted Computers' list and upped the permissions for all apps on that list to Full Trust. Still no luck. No error message, nothing in the event logs, just nothing. I've tried uninstalling the apps as well - and I can't uninstall them. Nothing happens when I try. I've also uninstalled/reinstalled the .NET 2.0 runtime.

    - MenuStrip not showing when form opens Hi, When I run my app, the MenuStrip at the top of the form does not show (actually it's transparent) until I move the form (drag it by at least 1 pixel). Is it a bug? Is there a solution to this behavior? I looked at the menu's events and the form's events, but nothing suspicious, so it must be from a property or a bug... There's no user pointing on the form except from 2 user controls that draw themselves and nothing else so I don't think they can be the source of the problem. So, a known bug? a solution?

    - ClickOnce updates and Data folder Hi, I am settings up my application to work with ClickOnce deployment. However, after instlling installing an update, the database doesn't get copied. I tried everything I could think of. It is a SQL Server Express database created in ClickOnce data folder (ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.DataDirectory). I use User Instances, that is, I connect directly to the database file. So, I install version 0.7.0.0, run it, it creates a new database, I add data to it. Then, I update to version 0.7.1.0. The database doesn't get copied so I loose my data. I made sure the database is detached before updating but it doesn't help. Any ideas? I'm clueless on this one. This is the database that *should* get copied: C:\Documents and Settings\Etienne\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\Data\W596OLLL.TL5\5YR6XOT1.HHP\form...app_dafda4b6e62d7a1b_0000.0000_422f5ed55aef8e45\Data\FormanaDB.mdf (and log file) Also, I create manifests manually using Mage tool because of Visual Studio limitations. btw, I can't find much on google about ClickOnce issues, anybody know of active ClickOnce forums or something?

    - Creating a Windows App version of a Web App I have a fully functional web app that I created in Visual Studio 2003. I've even managed to translate it to a functional working 2005 version. What are the best steps to creating a Windows based form version in a manner that I can preserve a lot of the routines that I have written? For example, I have a connection string in a WebConfig file that I refer to in my Data Access Layer. I didn't use the graphical objects to do this, I wrote most of the code and I would like to use this setup to take a lot of business logic along for the ride: For example, this routine fils a DataGrid on a Patient Screen with Lab results Public Shared Function GetLabs (ByVal lMRN as integer) as dataset Dim conMembers as SqlConnection = GetMembershipConnection() Dim strLabsSQL as string strLabSQL = "SELECT Proc_Name as [Lab Procedure], Comp_Name " _ & "as Component, Result " _ & "FROM tbl_Lab " _ & "WHERE MRN = @MRN " _ & "ORDER BY Result_Date desc" Dim cmdGetLab as new sqlCommand(strLabSQL, conMembers) cmdGetLab.CommandType = CommandType.text Dim daLab as New SqlDataAdapter daLab.SelectCommand = cmdGetLab Return dsLab End Function '============================= I know there are new graphical ways to do this, but to save time, I would like to use the types of tools I have already created, and not spend time trying to learn about a more simple redesign using the new graphical tools. Unless their is a simple way of illustrating how I could change the above sample. The majority of my tools are setup this way. We are trying to quickly migrate into a stand-alone desktop version which connects to a subscribed replicated SQL Express version. A replacement for my connection reference in WebConfig setup using the AppConfig tool would be very valuable. Thanks! Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103827

    - Context menus on TextBox and RichTextBox Hi, I am using a RichTextBox and I would like to have the standard context menu (RightClick menu) that the standard TextBox control has (i.e. if you use TextBox instead of RichTextBox, there is a standard context menu with Cut, Copy, Paste and few other selections right out of the box, you don't need to do anything). However, this is not available (at least not right out of the box) for the RichTextBox. I tried to find a property or a method to enable this but could not find anything - it looks like I need to implement the context menu. Not that it is a big deal, but all I need is exactly what's in the TextBox context menu, and I wonder if there is an easier way to enable it. Thanks, Ivan Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103825

    - How to host CHM help viewer in an MDI child form? I am writing a Windows Forms application using VS.NET 2003 and C#. The application uses the Multi-Document Interface (MDI) style. Our customer education team requires that the application display context-sensitive help using the common CHM file format. We are currently using P/Invoke as follows to display the help file: [DllImport( "HHCtrl.ocx" )] public extern static int HtmlHelp( int hwnd, string pszFile, int cmd, int data ); protected const int HH_HELP_CONTEXT = 0x000F; virtual protected int DisplayHelp( int helpID, string fileName, string helpName ) { // Open the HelpViewer window. int res = HelpControlBase.HtmlHelp( 0, fileName, HH_HELP_CONTEXT, helpID ); return res; } This launches a new form in a child process. We now need to have the CHM help content be hosted in an MDI child form so that the child form can be managed like all of the other child forms. I have searched without success for information on how to do this. How can I display the CHM help content in an MDI child form? Is there a .NET solution for this?

    - TextBox OnKeyUp/Down, ProcessCmdKey acting up... a lot I'm writing a hotkey selection control, which inherits from a TextBox. It seemed to work fine for a while, but I ran into a huge bug today. The KeyCode/KeyData values are completely whack, I get the same results with KeyUp/KeyDown event handlers and overriding ProcessCmdKey(). Lets say I press "7" (not the numpad 7), and examine the KeyCode/KeyData values on the first line of ProcessCmdKey. I get this... keyData = LButton | RButton | MButton | ShiftKey | Space That's when I press and quickly release a single "7". Numpad 7 gives 0x67, looks sensible... The caret key, next to return (on a Swedish keyboard) gives: RButton | Back | ShiftKey | Space | F17 What the hell is going on? Anybody with a clue? Some keystrokes (such as most letters) work just fine. Thanks in advance /Thomas Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103820

    - Which is the sequence of events when using ShowDialog()? Hi all, I'm having troubles with a Symbol 9000 device (Compact Framework v 1.1) when activating the barcode scanner from a window. The problem is related to the Activated event of the form which carries the task of the initializing the scanner. It looks like this event is not called after the creation of one of the forms. Let me describe shortly the sequence of form creation. The app first call a browsing form by using ShowDialog(). This browsing form (modal dialog) calls a data input form that uses the scanner device using ShowDialog(). It works as expected. On the Activated event it captures the scanning device and on Deactivate releases it. This forms is also a modal dialog. From this data input I call a third data input form also by using ShowDialog(). Note it is the third on the "stack" of called modal dialogs. The Deactivate event is called for the second form and the scanner is released, but the Activated event is not called for this third form then the scanner is not activated. To get the Activated event called I should make a trick: The three modal dialogs are represented on the taskbar as buttons. I can click the button of the second form. It is displayed but is blocked for input. But in this click the Deactivate event is called for the third form and the Activated is called for the second. Then I click the button on the taskbar for the third form and voila! the Activated event is called for the first time for the third form, resulting in the scanner device being activated. I should note that the handlers for these events are registered in the Load event handler. The Load event handler is registered on InitializeComponent as normally it is created from the Visual Studio 2005. I fear the Activated event is called before the Load when the handler is not registered yet. What can be wrong? Which is the sequence of events when using ShowDialog()? Any hint is welcomed Thanks in advance Sammy Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103817

    - Finding text from a single cell in a datagridview Hi, I have a datagrid view that I have manually bound with a dataset. It has a column displayed as checkboxes, what I want to do is update the database when a checkbox is checked. To do this I need to find a value at cloumn index = 0 that corresponds to the row in which the checkbox has just been checked. Here is what I have: private void dgErrorLog_CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { int row = dg.CurrentCell.RowIndex; int col = 0; string loc = // Text in cell (0, row); } So when the checkbox value changes, i find the row index of it. The problem is now that i don't know how to set the text in cell (0, row) to a useable string. Any ideas? Thanks. Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103814

The problem was not related to Debug vs Release mode, order of form painting events, in process vs out of process COM servers, BeginUpdate()/EndUpdate, SuspendLayout()/ResumeLayout(), SuspendBinding()/ResumeBinding() or any other "usual suspect". It was purely a problem within the WinForms engine when it comes to painting forms. I proved this by creating a simple form and dragging about 20 controls onto it. Display this form via a COM interface and the painting speed is terrible (checked list boxes are particularly bad), run it by double clicking the EXE from within Windows Explorer and the painting speed was great. So what's the difference? It turns out that the problem is related to these 2 magic lines that VS2005 puts at the beginning of the Main method in every Windows Forms application: Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); You know, the 2 lines that you mentally tune out because they are always there and you never need to edit them and they run first before anything happens because Main is the entry point for your application... However, if you are allowing callers to display forms via a COM interface then you have multiple potential entry points to your assembly, and Main is actually unlikely to be the first method to run. For example, here is a COM interface in a test app I wrote: [ComVisible(true)] [Guid("33F6DDA9-0D4D-4276-AC8D-C66E315649F2")] [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)] public interface IShowForms { void ShowForm(); } [Guid("3649EC0C-8F49-4844-B2F0-EF154E2D10AF")] [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] [ProgId("COM.ShowForms")] [ComVisible(true)] public class ShowForms : IShowForms { public void ShowForm() { using (Forms.frm1 f = new Forms.frm1()) { f.ShowDialog(); } } } You can instantiate and run this from VBA using the following: Dim f As COM.IShowForms Set f = New COM.ShowForms f.ShowForm If you do this, then those magic 2 lines don't get called and the painting performance is pathetic. So to solve the slow painting problem we need to ensure those 2 lines are run (the WinForms engine also requires that the 2 lines are run before any forms are displayed and that they are only called once). My quick and dirty solution is to add a static variable and method to the Program class: private static bool m_VisualStylesHaveBeenSet; public static void SetVisualStyles() { if (!m_VisualStylesHaveBeenSet) { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); m_VisualStylesHaveBeenSet = true; } } Then adjust Main to call this method, and ensure that the constructor of every class which is exposed via COM also calls it: static void Main() { SetReferenceToConfigFile(); SetVisualStyles(); Application.Run(new frmMain()); } public ShowForms() { Program.SetVisualStyles(); } This is a tolerable solution at the moment because I only have about 5 COM-exposed classes, but a better solution might be to try and call it when the assembly is loaded. By the way, it's actually the call to EnableVisualStyles() which is the one which gives the performance boost, the other line doesn't seem to make any difference. I have had a look at the code for the EnableVisualStyles() method in Reflector, and it doesn't seem to do much so the reason for the poor performance is still unknown to me. I suspect it is hidden deep in the WinForms engine, and may be operating system related (I am on XP Pro SP2). Happy interopping! -- Phil Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103813

    - PropertyGridInternals.MergePropertyDescriptor returns null value I've specialised a System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter class to handle a bespoke object which I need to display on a PropertyGrid. I override the GetStandardValues fnt and retrieve the currently displayed object using -- myObj = context.PropertyDescriptor.GetValue(context.Instance) as myObjType; This works great if only one item is added to the propertyGrid eg. myPropertyGrid.SelectedObject(myPropsToDisplay); But, if I add multiple objects to the propertyGrid eg. myPropertyGrid.SelectedObjects(myPropsToDisplayArray); the context.PropertyDescriptor.GetValue(context.Instance); returns null.

    - List of items WinForms can do that WebForms cannot I would like to build a WinForm demo form (perhaps MDI) to log and demonstrate the various controls, events, etc that WinForms can do that WebForms cannot.

Subsequently, perhaps I or someone else could do the same for WebForms. For now, here are a few things I thought of (and I could be in error; that's the point your help). 1. System tray 2. Notify icon and functionality 3. Popup windows (like Outlook) for new mail arrivals 4. Scroll bars 5. F1 Help 6. MDI 7. Drag/Drop Thanks, Dean S Tag: Again Virtual Directory Tag: 103795

Hi guys,
Again asking Question regarding Virtual Directories. now i've got the
Virtual Directories list with the help of Michael.
the code is used to get the virtual directory is

System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry iisServer = new
System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry("IIS://" + serverName +
"/W3SVC/1/Root");

now, to take my application further i need to retrive some files
information in that virtual directory or from the directory that
virtual
directory is pointing to.

the path return by the iisServer object is the "IIS://......." that is
not the physical path of the directory. and i want to know the physical
path of the directory.

can anyone please help me to get through this problem?

thanks,
