    - XmlDataDocument->DataSet->Datagrid: MDAC ?? Hi! I have a windows forms application and , what I basically do is: 1.- Instanciate a DataSet. 2.- Instanciate a XMlDataDocument attaching the DataSet to it. 3.- Load XmlDataDocument with a local XML document (C:\mydoc.xml) 2.- Bind it to a Datagrid. That is all! My app doesn't need to access SQL Server, or any other ODBC, not even to MS Access.... Is MDAC still required on the target machine in order for this to work? I have not tried it on a machine that does not have MDAC installed so I don't know if it works.... Thanks in advance. -- I love .NET! Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87242

    - Special language sings are changed to normal sings by VS.NET IDE I've probably a simple problem. I'm developing a win app which uses one of east-european languages, so I have to use special culture sings in labels, grid headers etc. I can without problems set and use them , but on and off VS.NET IDE (or winform designer?) changes this sings into "normal" sings. I can't figure out how and when but I'm loosing a lot of work and time trying to recover those special sings. I'm using a german version of VS.NET 2003 to create an application for a polish culture. Thanx in advance Adam Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87234

    - Some questions about PropertyGrid control Now I am developing a tool, just like VS.net Form Edition environment. User can edit a component's properties by a PropertyGrid control. Now I have some questions about this PropertyGrid control: 1. How to verify a property's validifity? as you know, In VS.net, when we input a component name that is same with an existed name in the propertygrid, an error message will pop up: "Invalid property value". Now, my question is, how to implement this verification? Certainly, I can check every property's validifity by handling the event PropertyValueChanged. But I think it is not so good, because there are so many properties, and it is a little complicated about logic. Could you give me a classical solution about this problem? 2. How to change readonly attribute of a property at run time? As we know, if we want a property to be readonly, we can implement it by adding an ReadonlyAttribute above the property. But how to changed it at run time? In some cases, a property's edition maybe make another property to be readonly. So how to create this relationship between properties. I am a little comfused about propertyGrid control, Could you tell me a good solution? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you. Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87230

    - Command-line arguments, file associations I wrote a Windows Forms application (C#) using the 1.1 Framework. It receives data from an instrument connected to the USB port, processes the data, and allows the user to save the results in a file. Naturally, the user can open these saved files in a number of ways: - Menu bar/toolbar shortcut - Dragging a file from Explorer onto the application window - Double-clicking the file in Explorer (filename extension association) Everything works great. In English. I then localized this application into Japanese. On the Japanese version of Win2K and XP, my app loads its files just fine if opened from within the application or if the file is dragged from an Explorer window onto the application, but double-clicking the file in Explorer causes the application to launch, then an error to be immediately displayed and the file will not be opened. Details: 1. I don't have the exact text of the error message in front of me, but it has something to do with an invalid value for "startIndex" -- which is suspicious to me, since I do not have anything in my source code that's called "startIndex." 2. I added some logging functionality to dump the contents of the string array passed into the Main function -- the values that are getting passed in have nothing to do with the filename. Sometimes the folder is correct, sometimes it is not, but usually it thinks the filename is "1". 3. Launching the application from the command prompt works fine. Help? I tried to write a simple app to duplicate this behavior, and was only halfway successful. The following code reproduces this error on the Japanese version of Windows 2000, but works fine on the Japanese Windows XP. Thanks! Code: using System; using System.Drawing; using System.Collections; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.Data; namespace FileAssociation { public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form { private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox1; private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null; public Form1(string[] args) { InitializeComponent(); foreach(string f in args) { this.textBox1.Text += (f + "\t"); } } protected override void Dispose( bool disposing ) { if( disposing ) { if (components != null) { components.Dispose(); } } base.Dispose( disposing ); } #region Windows Form Designer generated code /// <summary> /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify /// the contents of this method with the code editor. /// </summary> private void InitializeComponent() { System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(typeof(Form1)); this.textBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox(); this.SuspendLayout(); // // textBox1 // this.textBox1.AccessibleDescription = resources.GetString("textBox1.AccessibleDescription"); this.textBox1.AccessibleName = resources.GetString("textBox1.AccessibleName"); this.textBox1.Anchor = ((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.Anchor"))); this.textBox1.AutoSize = ((bool)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.AutoSize"))); this.textBox1.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.BackgroundImage"))); this.textBox1.Dock = ((System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.Dock"))); this.textBox1.Enabled = ((bool)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.Enabled"))); this.textBox1.Font = ((System.Drawing.Font)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.Font"))); this.textBox1.ImeMode = ((System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.ImeMode"))); this.textBox1.Location = ((System.Drawing.Point)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.Location"))); this.textBox1.MaxLength = ((int)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.MaxLength"))); this.textBox1.Multiline = ((bool)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.Multiline"))); this.textBox1.Name = "textBox1"; this.textBox1.PasswordChar = ((char)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.PasswordChar"))); this.textBox1.ReadOnly = true; this.textBox1.RightToLeft = ((System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.RightToLeft"))); this.textBox1.ScrollBars = ((System.Windows.Forms.ScrollBars)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.ScrollBars"))); this.textBox1.Size = ((System.Drawing.Size)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.Size"))); this.textBox1.TabIndex = ((int)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.TabIndex"))); this.textBox1.Text = resources.GetString("textBox1.Text"); this.textBox1.TextAlign = ((System.Windows.Forms.HorizontalAlignment)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.TextAlign"))); this.textBox1.Visible = ((bool)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.Visible"))); this.textBox1.WordWrap = ((bool)(resources.GetObject("textBox1.WordWrap"))); // // Form1 // this.AccessibleDescription = resources.GetString("$this.AccessibleDescription"); this.AccessibleName = resources.GetString("$this.AccessibleName"); this.AutoScaleBaseSize = ((System.Drawing.Size)(resources.GetObject("$this.AutoScaleBaseSize"))); this.AutoScroll = ((bool)(resources.GetObject("$this.AutoScroll"))); this.AutoScrollMargin = ((System.Drawing.Size)(resources.GetObject("$this.AutoScrollMargin"))); this.AutoScrollMinSize = ((System.Drawing.Size)(resources.GetObject("$this.AutoScrollMinSize"))); this.BackgroundImage = ((System.Drawing.Image)(resources.GetObject("$this.BackgroundImage"))); this.ClientSize = ((System.Drawing.Size)(resources.GetObject("$this.ClientSize"))); this.Controls.Add(this.textBox1); this.Enabled = ((bool)(resources.GetObject("$this.Enabled"))); this.Font = ((System.Drawing.Font)(resources.GetObject("$this.Font"))); this.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon"))); this.ImeMode = ((System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode)(resources.GetObject("$this.ImeMode"))); this.Location = ((System.Drawing.Point)(resources.GetObject("$this.Location"))); this.MaximumSize = ((System.Drawing.Size)(resources.GetObject("$this.MaximumSize"))); this.MinimumSize = ((System.Drawing.Size)(resources.GetObject("$this.MinimumSize"))); this.Name = "Form1"; this.RightToLeft = ((System.Windows.Forms.RightToLeft)(resources.GetObject("$this.RightToLeft"))); this.StartPosition = ((System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition)(resources.GetObject("$this.StartPosition"))); this.Text = resources.GetString("$this.Text"); this.ResumeLayout(false); } #endregion [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ja"); System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("ja"); Application.Run(new Form1(args)); } } } Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87227

    - Custom Date Format for VB.NET Datagrid Column Hi, I have a situation where I need to only display the month and day of a specific date in my Datagrid Column while keeping the underlying value (which includes the year) intact. I am currently using a DataGridTimePickerColumn class I got from the Microsoft website to create DateTimePickers in each row of my date column. I am able to format the date how I want ("MM/dd") when the user clicks on the DateTimePicker. But after they have entered the date, the value (including the year) appears in the datagrid. I've been trying to use the dataview to accomplish my goal of only displaying the month and day to the user while keeping the whole date intact in my datatable. But I have not been able to figure out how to do this. Is what I am trying to do even possible?? And if so, does anyone have any ideas of how I can do it?? Thank you!

    - Viewing DataAdapter in Dataset at design time Hello, I have a simple DataGrid displaying data in my DataSet, which is loaded in two DataAdapters. It works fine where I fill the DataSet using the DataAdapters. It displays the data, can be updated, etc. Now here's the question. I have a simple PK/FK relation between the tables, and I was hoping to use the design tools to easily create this relation. In design time, I apparently need to manually define the tables in the tables collection and create the relation in the relations collection. Is there an easier way to load the DataAdapter definitions into the dataset during design time, so I can easily create the PK/FK constraint? Also, what is the easiest way to create a dropdown list in the datagrid for the FK table? Thanks, eric Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87219

    - How do I manage events in dynamically loaded controls? I have an application that I'm working on in VS 2005 Beta 2. The app has several user controls (mostly, but not all, tab controls) that I intend to dynamically load into a panel depending on the buttons pushed on the toolbar. For example, if the button for my Employees module is pushed, I'll do something like this: With myForm.Panel1 .Controls.Clear() .Controls.Add(New EmployeeTabControl) .Controls(0).Dock = DockStyle.Fill End With This works great, but I'm running into problems trying to figure out how to raise an event in my parent form from one of these dynamically loaded controls. For example, let's say that I have a user control called EmployeeMenu. Clicking on "Add Employee" inside the EmployeeMenu raises an event, called SectionChanged, in the main form that unloads the EmployeeMenu control and loads AddEmployee. I'd envision the code looking something like this (oversimplified a bit for clarity): Public Sub MenuItemClicked() handles AddEmployee.Click RaiseEvent DirectCast(Me.ParentForm, MyForm).SectionChanged(Me, New EventArgs) End Sub Unfortunately, this doesn't work in the designer because the child control doesn't have a parent form yet. Is there something simple here that I'm missing? I'd like to be able to call events in the parent form from the child controls, but have no idea what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be appreciated.

    - binary serialization of application files I have a web service application inwhich I serialize,compress, and encrypt data. Upto this point the data I work with exposes its own serialize method so I can both serialize and deserialize the data from and to it parent application. Now I am interested in serializing other files, in particular large media files .wmv, .wma. I guesss this question would also extend to how to serialize and deserialize data to and from power point, project, word files, etc. What I am after is the procedure and code for serializeing application files such a .wmv. Here is where I am at present, Dim MyObject as Object = "C:\MedialFiles\BigVideo.wmv" or BigFile.doc or BiggerFiler.xls,etc Dim DataByteArray() as byte Dim ms as New MemoryStream Dim bf as BinaryFormatter bf.serialize(ms,MyObject) ms.position=0 ms.write(DataByteArray,0,cint(ms.length)) ms.close At this point, I would compress and encrypt the byte array and send it to my web server for storage. Where I am confused is when I recall the data from my web service and deompress/decrypt the data back to the origional application file that can be played by Window Media Player. Here is where I am stuck, I have just downloaded the bytearray from the web service dim ms as new MemoryStream dim bf as binaryformatter ms.read(databytearray,0,cint(databytearray.lenght) Here is where I am confused. I need to be able to deserialize the recalled data into something that my application, in this case Window Media Play can open and play. So in short, how do you serialize and then deserialize application files? Thanks, Fred Herring Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87209

Well, that worked! Here is how I did this. Code: AddHandler dtContent.ColumnChanging, AddressOf Project_ColumnChanging Now the problem: it worked too good! If I do this in the a specific row, all the other rows (with other companies) the project-dropdown will display a null value. I understand WHY, but can someone tell me how to prevent this?

    - data access tier for win form Hi, I want to create a data access logic component for a win form app... I saw some example DAL components in web and groups. And I am surprised to see that all methods of DAL component examples return a dataset. For ex., we have a GetEmployeeById method on the DAL comp. And it returns a dataset containing a table with the employee info (fields) that we requested by Id. Is this a valid approach in designing a DAL component. I mean, my question is what happens when the user navigates from an employee to a different one. Every time a new employee is accessed, a new dataset is returned by DAL layer. Does this create a dataset inflation in the app.? What happens to old datasets then? Should they be disposed before navigating to a new employee... Then another problem is databinding. You can not use visual data binding facilities of Win forms because You are returned a new dataset each you request a new employee from the DAL... So, you have to databind in code every time the user navigate to a new employee record.. Is there anyone with experience on this subjects... Or do you know a good article about it? thanks in advance... Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87193

    - Problems when toggling between MDI child and owned child window I'm developing an Windows Forms application using VS.NET 2003 and .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 on Windows XP SP 1. The application is an MDI application where the user can make an MDI child form 'floating'. The child form is made 'floating' by setting its MdiParent property to null and then setting its Owner property to the parent form like this: Form form = ActiveMdiChild; if (form != null) { form.MdiParent = null; form.Owner = this; } If the user wants to make the form 'non-floating' again, the MdiParent property is reset in the child form like this: MdiParent = Owner; I experience two problems in the application: 1. When a child form is made 'floating' and then toggled back to 'non-floating', I cannot activate any of the MDI child forms by clicking with the mouse in the child forms client area (but it works if I click on the child forms title or border). I found a workaround for this in this newsgroup (thanks Ying-Shen Yu!). 2. If I set the MdiList property to true for the Window menu in the MDI parent, I get an unhandled NullReferenceException in Unknown Module after a child form is toggled to 'floating' and back and then dragging the MDI child forms around a few times. Have anybody else experienced these problems? Does anybody has a workaround for the second issue? Thanks! /Markus Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87187

    - Add / Remove Program Hello When we build a setup project. As long as we use the same setup.msi, it will give you the option of repair & remove. However, if I send them an update, it tells you have an instance of the program installed, remove it by going to add / remove. Is there a way I can give them a remove option in my updated setup.msi as well ? That would help a lot! Thanks HS Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87167

    - Putting custom objects on the clipboard All, It seems that there has been some discussion of this issue, but I can't find any real answers. How does one copy a custom object onto the clipboard and then retrieve it? I can do this with standard types and collections of standard types, but if I use a custom object the retrieved objects are always null. For example, given the following class: public class MyObject : Object { private string m_Name = ""; public MyObject(string name) { m_Name = name; } public string Name { get { return "MyObject:"+m_Name; } } } this code does not successfully copy/retrieve a MyObject object usign the Clipboard: MyObject myObj = new MyObject("Foo"); DataFormats.Format f = DataFormats.GetFormat("MyObject"); DataObject dObj = new DataObject(f.Name, myObj); Clipboard.SetDataObject(dObj, false); // Get it right back out IDataObject obj = Clipboard.GetDataObject(); if (obj.GetDataPresent(f.Name)) { MyObject stuff = (MyObject)obj.GetData(f.Name, true); if(stuff == null) MessageBox.Show("GetData failed for " + f.Name + "!"); else { MessageBox.Show("MyObject on Clipboard was: " + stuff.Name,"GetData successful!"); } } The GetDataPresent call is successful, but a null reference always comes back from GetData; the autoConvert param doesn't seem to have any affect. Do custom objects have to implement some interface or derive from some base clsss to make this possible? Must they be cloneable? Serializable? Any advice or suggestions?

    - MessageBox problem Hello, When I use MessageBox.Show(owner, ...) to display a modal dialog box the 'bong' sound is made immediately but the message box is not painted. For some reason, pressing the ALT key will cause the message box to appear. The application contains around 15 windows forms, spread over all the screen space on three monitors. I know that the message box is not being painted behind one of these forms as I deliberatlely left space on the screen where it would appear and it appeared when I pressed ALT, but not before. So it is not an issue with the Topmost property of the forms. Any ideas? The problem occurs with every message box in the application. I think it is related to the amount of painting going on since if I minimise all the forms in the application except the one that will display the message box it works. However, even when all displayed the forms appear to be repainting correctly so I have no idea how to correct this issue... Cheers, David Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87162

    - winform fails to set size correctly! There must be something happening behind the scenes to "help" me, but I've got a real problem. I've embedded an AxWebBrowser directly onto a form, and I'm trying to set the size of the form to accomodate the contents. The width sets to a predefined number of pixels (816) correctly, but I can't get the height to work. The code setting the height is below. You can see what I'm doing is trying to set the form to be so tall that there's no vertical scrollbar. I do that by asking for the size of the scrollHeight, and growing the form so the client area is as large as the value of scrollHeight. But this code fails. The value of desiredHeight comes back with 7409, and the currentHeight is 293, for a delta of 7116 and a targetHeight of 7436. But when I set "this.Height = 7436" the form only grows to to 1036. That number is always the same. My screen resolution is 1280 * 1024. Does that affect the maximum possible size of a winform? Would I get the growth I need if I rendered this offscreen? The real reason I'm trying to work this out anyway is to do a screen capture and turn HTML into TIFFs, so doing it offscreen (or in memory) is the real target here, anyway. private void FitVertical() { MSHTML.HTMLDocumentClass doc = (MSHTML.HTMLDocumentClass)AxWebBrowser.Document; MSHTML.HTMLBodyClass body = (MSHTML.HTMLBodyClass)doc.body; int desiredHeight = body.scrollHeight; int currentHeight = this.ClientSize.Height; int delta = desiredHeight - currentHeight; int targetHeight = this.Height + delta; this.Height = targetHeight; } Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87157

    - employee application - disconnected model problem. I want to write an application for employee tracking. But, I am confused with the disconnected model of ADO.NET ... It was easy with Delphi's connection oriented approach... Selecting all the employees into a dataset at start-up seems to be time-consuming and unnecessary. Is there a better approach to this problem. I mean, for ex., selecting employees one at a time. Is there anyone designing an app like this and using a programming paradigm that can be helpfull to me... thanks in advance... Tag: Changing Textbox text from code Tag: 87149

I have a believe a simple problem. I have a standard Windows form textbox on
a tabcontrol in a WIndows form. It is bound to a Dataset table field. It will
allow modifications by the user and update back to the table but if I try to
change the text property from within my VB code the value doesn't stay

Here's me Initialize Component code from the form:

'InitializeComponent
Me.editDepositDesc.DataBindings.Add(New
System.Windows.Forms.Binding("Text", Me.objDsJobs,
"tblJobs.DepositPercentageDescription"))
Me.editDepositDesc.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(401, 60)
Me.editDepositDesc.Name = "editDepositDesc"
Me.editDepositDesc.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(11, 22)
Me.editDepositDesc.TabIndex = 59
Me.editDepositDesc.TabStop = False
Me.editDepositDesc.Text = ""
Me.editDepositDesc.Visible = False

and here is the code I use to change the value of the Text in the textbox to
something else:

'Button_Click
Dim frm As New frmProposalPaymentDescription
frm.txtDesposit.Text = Me.editDepositDesc.Text
frm.ShowDialog()
Me.editDepositDesc.Text = frm.txtDesposit.Text

Me.editDepositDesc.DataBindings("Text").BindingManagerBase.EndCurrentEdit()

When I view the textbox control (editDepositDesc) text property in debug the
value clears as soon as I call EndCurrentEdit?

How can I set the value of the textbox text using code and have it stay?
