    - updating database schema on client machine during upgrade/install We have a smart client application with an embedded MS Access database. As we put out auto-updates for the application, at some point we also need to update the Access database schema that's on the client. This would involve backing up the user's existing data, installing the new database schema and then copying user's data back into the new schema. Can anyone recommend best ways to do this? Either writing our own code or possibly looking at 3rd party tools who may provide this functionality. Thank you! Tag: Browse Directory on Button click and reflect in text box the path Tag: 88285

    - Bug in MeasureString ? Hi, I noticed a little problem with the Graphics.MeasureString-Function: I have a Textline, which contains Tabs. I use a StringFormat-Object, which represents the TabStops. The DrawString-Method calculates the Tabs in the text correctly. But MeasureString ignores them. I'm using the function as following: Dim w As Single = g.MeasureString(MyText, Me.Font, New PointF(x, y), MyStringFormat).Width x,y contains exactly the Drawing-Position of MyText (otherwise I would see this in DrawString). And MyStringFormat stands for an GenericTypographic -Object, which I'm using in the whole project for all Drawing-Operations. It's extended with the Tabstopps. Any suggestions?

    - RichTextBox: Selection problem... I have a few problem with selection (on Rtf text): - 1. I have menu doing things (for example setting all to bold), so I memorize the current selection with SelectiionStart & SelectionLength, SelectAll(),apply my style, then reset the selection with the original values of SelectionStart & Lenght. However it's not the same text whihc is selected?!! (it's usually more..). How could I fix that? - 2. When I change selection (like with SelectAll()) The RichTextBox scroll to the end. very annoying for the user to see its text moving for no reason (because I selectAll() just for the sake of setting the style, then I revert the selection, the user don't see that)!

    - Win32Execption: The operation completed successfuly Hello developers. This is not my day. I working with a C# WinForms application, I have about 200 hundred WinForms, they are most of them working as I need. But now when I tried to open (not run) one of them in the designer, it take a lot of time (about 45 second) and almost all the time my visual Studio 2003 IDE bring a lot of errors, some of them: 1- Win32Execption: The operation completed successfully 2- Unknown error (0x0) 3- An Error has occurred with the C # compiler is unable to report due to low memory or possible heap corruption. It is recommended that you save al files, close and restart visual studio The visual studio has to be close from the task manager (totally unresponsive) As far I tied to understand what is happening I found that the particular form has 14 typed datasets, and if I take them out of my form it have a normal behavior (of course, my form get a lot of errors), I put them back one by one and the performance get worse and finaly get the same set of errors. And not a particular dataset to blame. My development Laptop have a Pentium M processor 2 Ghz, 1 GB of RAM, and a big and fast H.D. with more than 50 % free space, running windows XP SP2 (firewall enable), McAffe antivirus, MS Anti SpyWare, all the Security updates and framework 1.1 SP1.

By Readonly, I mean as in the Readonly property for a Textbox 1) You should still be able to highlight and copy text 2) The foreground and background colours should remain unchanged 3) Maybe still allow the dropdown, but different values cannot be selected 4) The current text cannot be changed in any way.

    - Creaing a wizard form Hi all, I recently moved from developing windows apps with Borland Builder to Visual studio.net, With the Borland product I used to create wizards using a tabcontrol, I would then add the pages i required and make the tab for each page invisible, then when the user pressed next or back i would move to the next or previous tab respectively. Since the tabs were invisible they could not see them to click on them and it worked really well. Now I need to create a wizard in a .net app using c#, I put a tabcontrol on my form and added a few pages to it but I can't seem to hide the tabs, I've googled and found that you could remove the pages and only add the one you wanted to view but this would still leave a tab at the top of the form that they could see. Is there a way round this or is there a better way to create a wizard than this using .net and c#? TIA Joe Tag: Browse Directory on Button click and reflect in text box the path Tag: 88230

    - Databinding and saving changes (if any) to new row Hi there! I am new to databinding in .Net and I think I am going to get crazy... What I need to do is this: 1) Create a new form for the user to enter a new Product 2) Save changes (if any) when the user closes the form But I still couldn't get what I want, even after searching in Google. Anyone can give me a pointer/hint? Here is the details: 1) The form FormProduct (in which textboxes are bound) gets loaded: private void FormProduct_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { cmProduct = (CurrencyManager)BindingContext[dsProduct,"Products"]; LoadData(); cmProduct.AddNew(); } 2) Users either enter something or just close the form 3) Before closing the form, save any changes (I am stuck here): private void FormProduct_Closing(object sender, System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e) { cmProduct.EndCurrentEdit(); // Saw this in several places already if(dsProduct.HasChanges()) SaveData(); } The problem is this: if I don't call cmProduct.EndCurrentEdit(), then changes will not be detected. But if the user hasn't entered anything, they just close the form (like a cancel), dsProduct.HasChanges() will return true (because we added a row in the dataset). Any solution?

    - Don't use the object: ActiveForm unless you check it for null each Don't use the object: ActiveForm unless you check it for null each time you do. This object is in my opinion flawed and not all that useful since it becomes null when the form loses focus. I am posting this warning lest you too fall into the trap of using the ActiveForm.refresh() method instead of the tnis.refresh(); method. They are not the same and you may or maynot find your program crashing because you did not first check each time you call the refresh method associated with the object again try not to use ActiveForm object and instead use the this object of the form or the actual form itself. I think this is a bad design for ActiveForm object. Bottom line is do not use it unless you are absolutely forced to. Instead use the this.object Here is the original error message I ultimately solved: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Tag: Browse Directory on Button click and reflect in text box the path Tag: 88209

    - ANN: Advanced auto-layout panels plus XAML-style interpreter for 1.1 We have released a library containing a couple of automatic layout controls targetted at .Net 1.1 similar to the the FlowLayoutPanel and TableLayoutPanel in Avalon. Also packaged with these are a basic XAML-style interpreter which works well with existing Windows.Forms controls. These are useful for: - creating resolution-independent applications (especially for those who are long-sighted) - internationalisation (automatic static text translation included in the interpreter) - allowing you to create central visual style rules for an application via XSLT processing of XML script files.

    - Creating a localized control In my application, I am providing a plugin capability by using an interface to specify what the plugin should do. One of the functions is 'CreateConfigurationControl' which returns a UserControl. I am now trying to localize the application, and I'm setting the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture objects as the very first thing in my Main(). The forms that are created normally are all appearing as their localized versions, but the control that I receive from the CreateConfigurationControl is not, even though there is a localized version defined. In order to actually create the control, I've tried a simple 'new ConfigControl()' and Activator.CreateInstance, passing Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture to the appropriate version of CreateInstance(Type, BindingFlags, Binder, object[], CultureInfo), but I still get back the default English version... Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong, or if there is an easier way to guarantee that I get back the correct localized version of my control? -mdb Tag: Browse Directory on Button click and reflect in text box the path Tag: 88203

    - Login windows -> Child form, strange behaviour on minimize Hi all, I've got a typical windows form application with a login form, when I login, the login form will be hidden and a new window will appear. For this, I'm using .Show() method, and not .ShowDialog() because there's a chance of reloading a different ini file during login and I want to allow the user to reuse the login form (and it's credentials), and when the user reloads the login form will became visible and the the other window will became hidden. If he really tries to login again then I will kill the new window and create a new one. This all works fine, the problem happens when I try to minimize the login form, a small box appears in the left corner just like a mdi window when we minimize it on the main form. I would like for this "box" not to appear, and the form simply disapears and when I press the on the icon of the taskbar the window would appear again, just like any windows form application.

    - Add image to a control...reposted from languages.vb I originally asked this in languages.vb, and someone there suggested I post it here instead. The requirement I've been tasked with is to have a textbox that has an image in it (a magnifying glass) always on the right side of the textbox, but still in the edit portion. The image should be BEHIND the text, and if clicked on then would fire an event. The suggestion I got from the other group (Carlos J. Quintero, the illustrious maker of MZ-Tools) was to make it an ownerdrawn textbox. He said that all I'd probably need to care about would be the paint event and the click event. In VB6 I'd subclass the textbox and watch for the WM_PAINT message, but in .Net I have NO idea where to start on this. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    - RichTextBox - beeping I am programatically adding blocks of text to a RichTextBox control and it constantly "beeps" when doing so. The program is reading an xml file line by line and when it finds certain attributes it changes their values to a different color. This means that a line of xml might have its color changed several times. I thought it had to do with the changing colors but when i commented that code out it still beeped. If i write the entire line without substringing it together i get no beeps. It only seems to happen when i break the line up and substring it back together. example: the True part will beep but the false part will not. Color changing has been omitted since it's not a factor. if (true) { rtb1.SelectedText = line.Substring(0,10); // originally set color to black rtb1.SelectedText = line.Substring(11,10); // changed color to red rtb1.SelectedText = line.Substring(21,10) + "\r\n"; // changed back to black } else { rtb1.SelectedText = line + "\r\n"; } Anyone know why this happens and is there a way to stop it?

    - Multithreaded WinForms question My application's form is handling an event raised from a worker thread in another object. In the event handler I want to call a sub procedure that does a number of things and among those things is accessing controls on the form. This sub procedure normally has been called from the Click event procedure of a button on the form so there haven't been any issues with accessing controls from outside the UI thread. Now I have to consider this. I could create delegates for all the procedures I need to Invoke on the controls but I was hoping there was a simpler way. Is there any way to force the UI thread to call a sub procedure without using Control.Invoke ()? For example: Private myObj As MyObject Private Sub MainForm_Load ... ... AddHandler myObj.SomeEvent, AddressOf MyObject_SomeEvent ... End Sub Private Sub MyObject_SomeEvent(ByVal whatever As Integer) ' SomeEvent is raised by a worker thread in MyObject. ' How can I force the UI thread to call SomeProcedure ' from here so I don't have to litter the SomeProcedure ' Sub with If...Then...Else structures testing ' Control.InvokeRequired() and calling Control.Invoke() ' with various custom Delegates that I have to create? End Sub Private Sub SomeProcedure(ByVal whatever As Integer) ... Do Stuff SomeTextBox.Text = "Gooney Goo Goo" ... End Sub Hopefully I'm making sense here. I may be a little confused and not realize it yet. Joel Moore Tag: Browse Directory on Button click and reflect in text box the path Tag: 88185

    - Control OnMouseDown and OnMouseUp called twice - surely a bug? I'm noticing strange behaviour with System.Windows.Forms.Control. If I press the mouse (left button), then move the mouse while still holding it down, and then release the mouse, I get an extra set of OnMouseDown and OnMouseUp. So I get OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp, OnMouseDown, OnMouseUp even though the mouse has only been pressed and released once. Does anyone know about this? I think this is surely a bug. It's easy to replicate. Add this code to a new user control and put an instance of the control on a form. Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDown(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Debug.WriteLine("OnMouseDown") MyBase.OnMouseDown(e) End Sub Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseUp(ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Debug.WriteLine("OnMouseUp") MyBase.OnMouseUp(e) End Sub You might have to try a few times to see it, but it usually only takes a few efforts.

The problem is that the new window although appearing to be the focussed window isn't, as the user has to click on it twice (one click seems to be passing right through to the parent form) before the window is actually selected. This wouldnt be such a big problem except that if the user right clicks on the chart we get a "Cannot display context menu on invisible control" error, even though the control is visible. I guess that basically somehow the modeless dialogue window is not visible to the underlying code, and the events arent firing properly. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it including calling Select(),Activate(),BringToFront() etc on the new window but none of them make any difference. I have even triggered mouse events on the new window to try to focus it automatically. I am pretty much desparate to make this work so Can anyone please help me?

    - Administrating the registry Hello, How can I programmatically set user rights to a particular registry key? Is this possible? All I have found so far is checkaccess to see if I can access a key. For instance, If I want to set the ASPnet account to read only on a registry key HKEY_LOCALMACHINE\software\mystuff\ ?

    - Screen.WorkingArea Changed Event? Hi all, First the question: Is there a way to be notified when the WorkingArea of the Screen changes? (for example, the taskbar is moved from bottom to left of desktop) Here are the details of the problem if you are interested. I have a form where I set the Region property. Everything works fine until you move the TaskBar to the left or top of the desktop. This then skews my Region's location and it appears incorrectly. The problem is caused when I translate my Region to the screen coordinates (using PointToScreen and Region.Translate). If the taskbar is on the left or top, the region gets "pushed" to the right or bottom. However, this position is incorrect. I solved the issue by offsetting the region location using Screen.WorkingArea's x and y values. Then I ran into a performance problem. I have to recalculate the region quite a bit and it caused a performance issue. I was using Screen.FromControl() everytime I was recalculating the region (My application must support multiple monitors) and I believe this was the culprit. I have worked around the issue by caching the working area myself and testing if my Form moves from one monitor to the other via the LocationChanged event. The only problem is I need to know when the WorkingArea changes so I can update my cached workingArea and also re-translate my region.

    - (newbie) Slow Combobox Binding I'm fairly new to winforms, but I've been playing around with ASP.NET for a while, so I'm familiar with a fair bit of the framework, however I'm having an annoying issue when trying to bind a simple arraylist to a combobox. All I want the combobox to be is a simple dropdownlist and I'll grab the SelectedValue from it to do other stuff elsewhere, so what I thought I could do is : myCombo.DataSource = myArrayList; myCombo.DisplayMember = "Name"; myCombo.ValueMember = "ID"; Where myArrayList is an ArrayList (shock!) of simple objects with the properties "Name"(string) and "ID"(int). (very basically, their class definition is just : public class myClass { myClass() {} myClass(int ID, string Name) { this.Name = Name; this.ID = ID; } public string Name; public int ID; } - it's not quite that dumb, but you get the idea) I'm finding that not only is DisplayMember *completely ignored* (i.e. all the entries in the combobox merely display "myNamespace.myClass"), but the binding process seems to take an inordinately long amount of time - somewhere up to 5 seconds. I thought initially it was a database access time or the size of the ArrayList slowing it down, but I actually reduced it to : ArrayList myArrayList= new ArrayList(); myArrayList.Add(new myClass(1, "First")); myArrayList.Add(new myClass(2, "Second")); myCombo.DataSource = myArrayList; myCombo.DisplayMember = "Name"; myCombo.ValueMember = "ID"; and it still takes seconds! Can anyone shed any light on this? thanks in advance, -- jo inferis Tag: Browse Directory on Button click and reflect in text box the path Tag: 88150
