    - Component Designer A great problem on VS2005. After I dropped an object on the designer area, it does not maintain the position assigned. All objects, after closing and reopening the designer, move on the left of the area. It's hard to work in this situation. VS2005 SP1 resolves the problem? Help me please!

    - Exceptons when debugging My VB 2005 winforms application has an Application.ThreadException handler to catch any unhandled exception. When debugging, the debugger doesn't stop when I get an exception, control passes to my application exception handler. Currently I comment out the handler to be able to get the debugger to stop when an unhandled exception occurs. Ideally I would like to have the debugger stop when any exception occurs, then optionally be able to proceed by having the exception bubble up. Is this possible? Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113741

    - PictureBox.Load and animated GIFs Loading an animated GIF using PictureBox.Load causes an ObjectDisposedException with the message "Cannot access a closed file" to be thrown in the FileStream.Read method ultimately called by ImageAnimator.UpdateFrames. Looking at the output from ILDASM, it seems that the underlying file stream is being disposed in the PictureBox.Load method. However, KB article 814675 states that the stream must not be destroyed for the lifetime of the image. Can anyone shed some light on whether the .NET framework really is closing the stream before the image is finished with. Thanks Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113739

    - Autocomplete textbox with dynamic datasource I know how to use autocomplete with 2.0 framework on a textbox. I also know how to use COM interop to use the IAutoComplete interface directly. But with either approach I seem unable to change the list while the user is typing. I have an XML document and i want the user to be able to navigate to nodes by typing in an XPath. i.e. when the user types /A it pops up with /Animals /Applications and when they type /Animals/ it pops up with: /Animals/Dog /Animals/Cat I do NOT want to prepopulate the whole list. However when using the .NET framework and changing the list I get an 'Access Violation' exception which is unacceptable. I tried to use the AutoComplete COM control (IAutoComplete) based upon this blog entry : http://jiangsheng.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!1BE894DEAF296E0A!732.entry Unfortunately the control doesn't 'ask' for an updated list of items as I type. I've tried all kinds of nasty tricks, like faking an 'Escape' key press but none are acceptable because of unwanted sideeffects. I essentially want the same behavior you get with the windows filename autocompletion, but I dont see how I can achieve this. I might just have to make my own autocomplete dropdown,but woudl rather not have to do that. Any suggestions? -andy Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113730

    - WebBrowser (loop automation) Hello, Background information â?¦. I have a VS2005 C# Windows forms app which has several text fields, one button control and one webbrowser control that I use to display an external webpage and based on the input data provided by the user, I perform some tasks on the webpage. The idea is to go automatically go through several web pages based in data captured by the user until I reach to a desired webpage. All this works fine, The user fills the data on the windows form, then clicks on the form's button and the process starts. The click method of this button does something like like â?¦ private void btnSendData_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Uri myUri = new Uri (http://www.externalwebsite/page1.htm); this.myWebBrowser.Url = myUri; this.stageSecuence = 1; } I use a variable named "stageSecuence" in the next method to perform some automated tasks depending on the webpage that is being processed. Then for the webbrowser control I have the following method: private void myWebBrowser_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e) { switch (this.stageSecuence) { case 1: // perform some tasks like invoking the submit on the web page this.stageSecuence++; case 2: // perform some other tasks this.stageSecuence++; // and so on } Current situation, Now, instead of executing this automation on the webpage based on the data manually typed by the user; I want to call this process several times based on some database information. I wrote the following code to perfom a loop (hoping to call sereval times the automation process) for (int i = 0; i < this.numberOfTableRecords; i++) { // get record info Uri myUri = new Uri (http://www.externalwebsite/page1.htm); this.myWebBrowser.Url = myUri; this.stageSecuence = 1; } By doing this I only get the myWebBrowser_DocumentCompleted method executed only once for the last record of the loop; in fact this method is executed once the loop has finished. How can I get the DocumentCompleted method executed once for every record in the loop ? Can I call this method manually such as: this.myWebBrowser_DocumentCompleted( â?¦ ) ?? Thanks in advance, Cesar Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113727

    - Inconsistent image behavior in a Winforms app. I'm writing a Winforms app in Dot Net 2.0. I created a few PNG images for use as button images in order to liven up appearances a bit. I thought I had given the images a transparent background using Paint.Net and they display correctly on my own computer (a lenovo T60p laptop). However when the app is run on another computer (A Dell desktop with a flat monitor, if I remember correctly) the images have a white background. (The actual button background color is the system default grey. I have not changed that.) Am I forgetting some setting? Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113719

    - Capturing Shift+Return when AcceptButton is used Hi, I've got a search form with the search button used as AcceptButton for the form and everything works as expected. However, I want to be able to capture not only Return, but also Shift+Return in which case I want to change some settings and then perform the search as normal. As I understand it, when an AcceptButton is used the form's KeyDown event handler doesn't receive the Return key event even with KeyPreview on. If I remove the AcceptButton the Return key event gets through as expected. Is there a good way to find out whether Shift is currently pressed form within the accept button's Click event handler? Is there a way to display the search button with "AcceptButton style" without it actually being accept button? Any thoughts would be appreciated!

    - binding CheckBox.Enabled to ComboBox selection I have a combo which is bound to a List<MyCustomObject>. One of the properties of MyCustomObject is a boolean which I would like to bind to a checkbox so that depending on the selection on the combobox, the checkbox below it would get enabled/disabled accordingly. How can this be achieved through databinding? I don't want to implement this through any event handling - just pure databinding. My initial effort was this: checkbox.DataBindings.Add("Enabled", combobox, "SelectedItem.MyBooleanProperty"); However, the above code does not work. Thanks Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113688

    - Question about DataGridView binding I have not used the DataGridView that much. I'm writing a Winforms app using a datagridview bound to a datatable. For reasons too involved to go into, the grid is not editable. When I need to edit a record, I double-click on a row and retrieve the keys as follows: key = <grid name>.CurrentRow.Cells("Column Name").Value.ToString Then do a find on the datatable and get the datarow. datarow = datatable.Find(key) Is this the simplest way to relate the datagridview and the datasource or is there something simpler?

    - When is a form disposed? (unexpected ObjectDisposedException errors) I have a multithreaded app that creates a progress form on the main thread and interacts with it from a worker thread. The code is more or less like this: void MainThread() { MyForm form = new MyForm(); ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(WorkerThread, form); form.ShowDialog(); } void WorkerThread(object state) { using (MyForm form = state) { // do some work... } } So, the form can be closed manually by clicking a button on it (which sets DialogResult), or automatically when the worker thread is done and the "using" block terminates. I have written a thread-safe Dispose method, since it's called from a thread other than the one that created the form, and it looks more or less like this: delegate void DisposeDelegate(); void Dispose() { if (InvokeRequired) Invoke(new DisposeDelegate(Dispose), new object[] {}); else base.Dispose(); } My understanding is that ShowDialog() doesn't dispose the form when it returns, and indeed, Dispose() is only called once - at the end of the "using" block. The problem is that occasionally, Invoke() will fail with an ObjectDisposedException, even though it's the first time Dispose() has been called! I tried tracing through the framework with ILDASM to find the source of that exception, but with no luck. How exactly does the form know whether it's been disposed already, and under what circumstances is that flag set? Jesse Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113652

However, when I click the restore box on the form's frame, it restores the window dimensions (physically) but my resize code is not executed. I can tell it is not being called because my resize code calculates the center to display some output. What am I doing wrong? It only fails to work when I "restore down" from maximize.

    - control naming conventions, When I drag a control onto a form, visual studio gives it a dummy name. I'm wondering, what are good naming conventions you use for controls? I like to indicate the control type: for example, "submitButton" or "showResultCheckBox". Although I find this cumbersome sometimes. Also, I notice that in C#/.NET code, the m_ prefix for member variables is no longer popular, as it was in MFC. Do people use any notation to denote member variables in C#/.NET? I don't like to confuse them with local variables. Maybe it is popular to explicitly reference "this"? Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113618

    - Deployment Problem I'm deploying a C# desktop application using a .Net deployment project. The application installs fine on my development PC, but it gives the following error when I attempt to install it on laptop that doesn't have the development tools: "The advertised application will not be installed because it might be unsafe. Contact your administrator to change the installation user interface option of the packae to basic." I've included the .Net Framework and the Cyrstal Reports msi as part of the deployment projectAny suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks Brad Tag: Component Designer Tag: 113616

    - flicker in control I have made a custom control which displays a 3D object. The user can use the mouse to animate the object. However, I am getting bad flicker from the control. I call Invalidate in the mouse move handler to animate the object. I think the problem is the control repaints itself and then I draw over that myself, so it gets painted twice causing the flicker. In Win32 I would use a null brush or handle the WM_ERASEBKGND message to prevent this. Is there a flag I can set in the control to let it know I will do all the drawing?

A great problem on VS2005. After I dropped an object on the design area of a
component, it does not maintain the position assigned. All objects, after
closing and reopening the designer, move on the left of the area.
It's hard to work in this situation. VS2005 SP1 resolves the situation?
Please, help me!!

Hello Loris,

Is it happening on every instance of VS Studio IDE that you create a form on
or in any specific existing project.

You might want to test by creating a new application in a new instance of VS
IDE. If it happens every time that then You might also want to try un install
and reinstall.

I have a never seen this behavior in the past.

Regards,
Amit
