    - Don't need to do load event from inheritance form Hi all, Assuming I have 2 form controls on my application. First form is parent form and second form is inheritance form that inherit from first form. When I want to view designer of second form (inheritance form) it is always done at load event of first form (parent form). I have test by set form visible property at load event of first form to false and then when I load the second form the form is invisible. Can anyone explains to me? I don't need to do load event of first form because sometimes I want to add new control to second form but it occurs some error. How can I ignore the load event of parent form?

    - Creation of semi-transparent filled polygons? I have relatively little experience in Dot Net graphics. I have a picturebox with a background image. For the purpose of this application it is necessary to draw polygons (both filled and outline only) to emphasize parts of the image. It would probably be better if the background image remained at least partly visible. Is there any simple way to generate a semi-transparent filled polygon? Tag: Alignment Tag: 78016

    - Drag and Drop from one form to a 2nd form I've been trying to perform a drag and drop operation from a PictureBox control in a standard C# form (with a FixedToolWindow border) to another standard C# form, but cannot get it to work properly. In the FixedToolWindow, I have the following code: myClass c = new myClass(); // contains public variable m_MouseIsDown private void pictureBox1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (! (pictureBox1.Image == null)) c.m_MouseIsDown = true; } private void pictureBox1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (c.m_MouseIsDown) pictureBox1.DoDragDrop(pictureBox1.Image, DragDropEffects.Copy); } In the second form, I have the DropAllow property enabled and have the following code in it: myClass c = new myClass(); // contains public variable m_MouseIsDown private int picboxCount; private PictureBox picbox; private void Form1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { if (c.m_MouseIsDown) { int i = picboxCount; picbox = new PictureBox(); this.Controls.Add(picbox); picbox.Name = "pictureBox" + i.ToString(); picbox.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.FixedSingle; picbox.Size = new Size(24, 24); picbox.Image = (Image)e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap); picbox.Location = this.PointToClient(new Point(e.X - 12, e.Y - 12)); picboxCount++; c.m_MouseIsDown = false; } } private void Form1_DragEnter(object sender, DragEventArgs e) { e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy; } One problem I've encountered is in the statement picbox.Image = (Image)e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap); as I get a compilation error stating that it cannot convert from type 'bool' to 'System.Drawing.Image'. Commenting it out and hardcoding a value for the image, I still can't get the drag and drop operation to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Allen Tag: Alignment Tag: 78010

    - Go To Row in DataGrid Hello, I have an application in which a grid display rows to be insrtered into a DB. Upon failure, I built a list box with an errored row as the added Item and the RowError text as the displayed value in the List box. I want to be able to double click an error row in the list box, select the corresponding rows in the Data grid and make that row visible in the grid window. Mostly, this works fine. I am having two problems: 1. In the Double Click event, I "dataGrid1.Unselect(dataGrid1.currentRowIndex)". It simply does not Unselect a row. 2. I can find no way to get the grid to scroll to the programmatically selected row. I can see the row is selected (highlighted) but it is buried in the grid. Mklapp Tag: Alignment Tag: 78006

    - ActiveX Error with multiple AxWebBrowser controls within a tab-control I have a tab control in a which a few of the tabs include an AxWebBrowser browser control (More accurately, I'm using Carl Nolan's Html Editor in all but one of the tabs). When closing the application, a few .net error messages flash on the screen, too quickly for me to see the error message (I assume because the application closes immediately after. This does *not* happen if every webbrowser control is actually drawn to the screen at some point in the applications lifetime (so as long as each tab is selected at some point, these error messages do not occur). A similar problem occurs when I am editing the same form in Visual Studio. If I close the form without selecting each tab, I receive an error message saying: "The following exception has occured: TargetInvocationException: Unable to get the window handle for 'AxWebBrowser' control. Windowless ActiveX controls are not supported". This message pops up multiple times, always corresponding to the number of tabs I have *not* selected. I've found a very small number of posting of people who have had a similar problem, but I can't find any kind of resolution. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be causing this error, and how to avoid it? Thanks, Joe Tag: Alignment Tag: 78001

    - Database independent application using C# 2003 Dear all I have to develop a database independent application in c# 2003. It means the underlying database should be anything like ACCESS, Oracle or SQL and my application should not get affected if i change between databases. i also have a requirement of storing 10,000 user records in my database. This database can also be created by our customers and weshould be able to use it. After reading ADO.NET i felt convinced that it is the solution for my requirement. But later i was thinking when i want to create a database independent application why i should use a database first of all, instead i can use XML. The following are the points supporting it. 1. XML universally accepted/standardized. 2. No hassle of connection to a database server, changing the DB adapters, customers having different databases facing problems in entering the data 3. Easily transferable and portable. Anybody can edit an XML file as there are lot of freeware available. The following are the points opposing it 1. Performance of parser while supporting 10,000 user records 2. Is it wise to think XML can be used in this way? Please help me out. Also from where can i get a sample c# applications storing the large user data (10,000 records) in XML file Ciao Hari Tag: Alignment Tag: 77975

    - Delete allowed even when datagrid is set to readonly! I have a datagrid bound to a strongly typed dataset. The datagrid can be made readonly by either setting its ReadOnly property to True or by setting the dataset's DefaultView's AllowDelete, AllowEdit, and AllowNew properties to False. But in either case the datagrid still accepts a delete keypress (i.e. press the delete key on the keyboard) and while this doesn't actually delete the record it does set the dataset's HasChanges property to True thereby causing my code to incorrectly ask the user to save his changes.

    - Control validation problem prevents me from tabbing out of a contr I am using simple databinding on a small form with only about 10 controls. My problem is that the _second_ time I open the form and edit a value, I am no longer able to tab or click out of the control that I just changed the value in. Here's what I mean: 1. Open the app 2. Open the Details form (form uses databound values for textboxes, code below) 3. Edit the value in the ItemName textbox 4. Click the OK button to close the form 5. Open the Details form a second time 6. Edit the value in the ItemName textbox Result --> I am now unable to tab out of the ItemName textbox, click OK or do anything but close the form. This appears to be a problem with validation, since I cannot click on any buttons with CausesValidation = true but I can click on buttons with CausesValidation = false. However, none of my controls on the form have an event handler for the Validating event. This happens consistently throughout my application, on both small forms and large forms. I must be doing something incorrectly. Can someone point it out to me? Here's some code: MyDataSet.MyRow row = // a valid row from a typed dataset Inside Form_Load: BindField(ItemName, "Text", row, "ItemName"); public static void BindField(Control control, string propertyName, object dataSource, string dataMember) { Binding binding = control.DataBindings[propertyName]; if (null != binding) control.DataBindings.Remove(binding); control.DataBindings.Add( propertyName, dataSource, dataMember); } -- ---- Doug Perkes Tag: Alignment Tag: 77943

    - Annoying! Form Cannot Be Activated Eventually (.NET 1.1) This is so annoying that I have to see if it's happened to anyone else and see if I'm missing something well-known (I am not a WinForms expert). Frequently, my form loses the ability to become active. This happens when I'm debugging with VS.NET 2003 - I've been debugging for a while, so wouldn't know whether it happens outside of the debugger. It happened just now when I maximized the form. It maximized just fine, but changed appearance to look inactive, and in fact was inactive. Clicking on any part of the form doesn't change anything. Mousing over a top-level menu item highlights it, but clicking on it does nothing. Mousing over the Close, Minimize and Maximize buttons highlights them as well, but clicking does nothing. Right-clicking the notification icon shows the correct menu, and I can minimize, maximize and restore. None of those makes the form active. Clicking in the body of the form seems to make the form caption flash briefly, but nothing happens. Now, the one thing I'm doing that's a bit unusual is that I'm hosting several one of several user controls in a panel in the middle of the form. I _did_ have a problem with these. I had meant to remove and Dispose the old user control before adding the new one, but that didn't work: public static void ShowControl(Control control, Control container) { System.Collections.ArrayList disposeList = new System.Collections.ArrayList(); foreach (Control old in container.Controls) { disposeList.Add(old); } foreach (Control toDispose in disposeList) { container.Controls.Remove(toDispose); if (!toDispose.IsDisposed) { //toDispose.Dispose(); // This crashed. I forget the exception. } } control.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; control.Size = container.Size; container.Controls.Add(control); control.Show(); control.BringToFront(); } Maybe this is catching up with me. Any suggestions? Every time this happens I have to start over. The only way I can close the form is through "End Process" in Task Manager! ----- John Saunders Tag: Alignment Tag: 77939

    - Impersonation and SQL Connections Hello all - I'm having a problem concerning Impersonation while connecting to SQL Server. I'm not sure if I'm posting this to the right newsgroups, so let me know if it belongs elsewhere, and please excuse the cross-post. I'm writing a Windows Forms application that makes direct calls to a SQL 2k database. This application requires a user to log in, and confirms their login and password with whatever they have in Active Directory. I had planned for the program to use the credentials of the user logged into the application (NOT Windows) when connecting to the SQL Server, but it seems I've encountered a slight pitfall. I've been reading that in this scenario, using simple Identity Impersonation, the SQL Server will attempt to connect as "NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON" because of a limit to the impersonation context. I'm having trouble believing that this is true. I can impersonate users in ASP.NET just fine, and connect to databases using those credentials, but am unable to do the same through a desktop application? It doesn't make all that much sense, but then again, I'm somewhat of an amateur in this regard. So, that said, can anyone provide any examples or help to get this working? I'm happy to provide code samples, I just wasn't sure if it'd be necessary. Thanks! Clint Tag: Alignment Tag: 77935

    - Large Fonts not scaling correctly on tab control. I have a problem which I have been able to reproduce in a very simple project. I have a form with a single tabcontrol control with two tab pages. The tabcontrol's Anchor property is set to Top, Left, Bottom, Right (all 4 directions). On each tabpage, I have a DataGrid. Each DataGrid's Anchor property is also set to Top, Left, Bottom, Right. I developed this simple application with my System's DPI setting set to Normal Size (96) and everything worked perfectly. The problem came, however, when I changed my DPI setting to Large (120). The datagrid on the first tabpage (index 0) did not have the correct size (too large). On the second tabpage (and any others that were present in subsequent tests), everything was sized correctly. The same problem happens in reverse (developing in Large and moving to Normal). My workaround was to create an empty tabpage at the beginning of the set and remove it from the tabcontrol's TabPages collection during the form's load event handler. I could have also not used anchor and changed the control's width during the form's resize event. Any non-hack solution or explanation would be appreciated. Tag: Alignment Tag: 77893

    - Datagrid Empty Set Here is one I am stuggling with: I have a project I'm developing in VB .NET. I have a datagrid in a window with two columns. The first column is readonly and the second column is not and initialized with Zero's. The values in column two must be numeric. How do I prevent the user from leaving an Empty set in the cell? I already have a handler that ensures the user enters numeric values. I would like to default to Zero if the user deletes a value or enters an empty set. Thankyou, Jeff Tag: Alignment Tag: 77887

    - Negative Numbers? Hello, I have some textboxes that are doing addition: Dim AString As Double AString = Convert.ToDouble(TextBox1.Text) - Convert.To(DoubleTextBox2.Text) TextBox3.Text = AString.ToString("#,##0.00;(#,##0.00);0.00") When the result is negative it is displayed as "(46)" or whatever the value is. This makes it impossible to test for a negative number to make further additions: TextBox5.text = Convert.ToDouble(TextBox3.text) + Convert.ToDouble(Textbox4.text) Is there a work-around for this? I must have negative numbers that can be added together. Thanks, Chuck Tag: Alignment Tag: 77885

    - Using the same connection over many forms Hi, I'm writing a client-server winfroms application, I've notice that every time I use the wizard to create a bound datagrid, I create a new sqlconnection. I wish to create one connection in the main form, and use it in the rest. (b/c changing something in the connection string - like pwd user or db will make me go over all the classes now, and find all the connections the wizards creatred) what is the best way to do it ?

    - ANN: New Barcode Library from ComponentScience! Announcement: ComponentScience is proud to release Barracuda 1.0; our newest .NET component library for Winforms, ASP.NET and the compact framework! Use Barracuda to generate Linear, Postal, or 2-dimensional barcodes in your ASP.NET, Compact framework, and Windows Forms applications. Barracuda 1.0 supports 27 different barcode symbologies with additional support for many variations. Creating barcodes with Barracuda is as easy as dropping a control on the form, picking a symbology, and specifying the data to encode; but the real power of Barracuda is in its ability to handle the most complex situations you may encounter with certain barcode symobologies. For example, if you need to use UCC/EAN-128 mode with the Code128 symbology, Barracuda makes it easy. An online demo is available at http://www.ComponentScience.net/Barcodes For more information, please visit http://www.ComponentScience.net/Elements/Barracuda Barracuda includes: - Support for multiple ASP.NET, Compact Framework, and Windows Forms in one package. - Support for the following symbologies: - Linear barcodes: Codabar, Code 11, Code 128, Code 13, Code 39, Code 93, Coop 2 of 5, EAN13, EAN8, IATA 2 of 5, Interleaved 2 of 5, Matrix 2 of 5, MSI, Pharmacode, Plessey, Standard 2 of 5, Telepen, UPC A, UPC E. - Postal barcodes: Australia Post, PLANET, PostNet, RM4SCC (i.e., UK Royal Mail). - Two dimensional barcodes: Aztec, Aztec Runes, Code 16K, PDF 417. Maxicode and DataMatrix coming soon! - Dynamic barcode image generation. - Error correction support. - Printing support. - Full source code written in C# available. Tag: Alignment Tag: 77882

    - ComboBox woes I need help solving a couple of problems (and learning a couple of concepts) involving ComboBox columns in my DataGrid. The first problem involves my custom ComboBoxColumn class. I don't have experience making custom classes so I downloaded some code. From what I've read, it's pretty standard for adding a ComboBox column. It overrides the Edit, SetColumnValueAtRow, and GetColumnValueAtRow subroutines. It works great, but it doesn't allow the user to type in custom items in the combobox. Anything you type in just gets ignored. I want users to be able to add new items to the database through the comboboxes. I don't understand all of this code, though, so I'm not sure how to do this. The comboboxes are bound to datatables, so when the changes are committed I just need to add a new row with the new text to the datatable. Then when my "Update Database" button is clicked, the table changes will get sent to the database. It looks like maybe SetColumnValueatRow is the key subroutine? The second problem involves the relationship between my query form and my display form. My query form is a series of ListBoxes bound to certain DataTables in my DataSet. But before I fill the tables from the database, I add an item called "All" to the tables so that I can select all items in the listbox for query purposes. The problem is that the comboboxes in my datagrid are bound to the same tables, so I have to remove the "All" item before displaying the datagrid or else "All" will be displayed as a selectable item in the combobox. This works fine if you use the query form once, but if the user clicks the "Back" button on the display form I have to put the "All" item back into the tables for use in the query form. But inserting an item in a datatable that is already filled doesn't seem to be as trivial as adding a row to a blank table. Obviously I want "All" to be the first item in the list, so I can't just tack it on to the end. Right now I have to clear the tables and refill them, which is taking about 15 seconds. I guess one solution is to just make copies of the tables and put "All" at the first index in one of them and bind each listbox and combobox to different tables, but it seems there should be a more elegant solution. Is there a syntax for inserting a custom item in a datatable at index 0? Tag: Alignment Tag: 77878

    - Form.Closing event Hello: I have a Form that override the OnClosing method to make some actions before the window is closed, but does not set the Cancel property to let the form close, assuming that its value by default is false. All was working fine until I install the service pack 1 of the .Net framework 1.1. The Cancel property is true and the form remains open. I change my code to assign the value to false, but I want to know if there is a reason for this behavior. I check on a new application calling the Close(); method, or clicking on the close button, and try also with the application main window and with another window, modal and modeless, in all cases, Cancel property was set to false. Somebody has an explanation? Tag: Alignment Tag: 77877

    - Validating events not getting fired in TabPage I have a TabControl with 5 TabPages. I made sure to set CausesValidation to true everywhere possible. I put Leave and Enter handles on each page which supposedly will fire each time I'm changing pages, but for some reason it doesn't work. No events get fired. Has anyone else encountered this? Thanks Tag: Alignment Tag: 77873

Michel,

Did you ever figure this out? I am also trying to do this same thing.

Thanks,
Marc....
