    - Customization In Web Application All, Using VS 2005, C#.NET, SQL Server 2005, W2K3. We are developing a web application that would be shared by numerous customers for information management. Some of those customers want variations on the usual form layout. For example, we have a form where the user can enter their dependents information (parents, siblings, spouse, kids, etc.), but we know one of our customers wants to include additional information on that form that none of the other customers would use (company specific insurance coverage). Based on our experience with our C/S version of the product, we can expect to see many more requests like this. There are 3 ways to do this that I see. 1. Create a separate web application for that customer and host it on a different web server. 2. Add the custom fields to the single web application but hide the extras based on the customer using it. 3. Allow the customer to add the fields themselves and store them for just that customer. Pros and cons that I see. 1. Quick to implement, but costly in new infrastructure, and would end up difficult to maintain. 2. Still relatively quick to develop, and uses existing infrastructure, but would create complex forms. 3. Difficult to develop, but would use existing infrastructure and wouldn't need extra maintenance. Personally, I'd like to use 3. That is... Design the application so that each form includes standard fields, but a customer can add new labels, textboxes, drop-down combos, lists, etc., themselves and doing so doesn't require us to change any code or the database schema. While this would be a no-brainer in an C/S application, it gets a little more difficult in a web app since the only client they use is a browser. Any thoughts?

    - Bigger Large Icons in listview, possible? Hi all, I'm just wondering if it's possible to make the icons under large icons view in listview bigger? For some reason, I think the default is set at 16 X 16 pixels? I don't think I've done anything wrong? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- this.listView1.View = View.LargeIcon; this.listView1. ImageList il = new ImageList(); il.Images.Add(Bitmap.FromFile("C:\\pictures\\topics\\1.gif")); listView1.LargeImageList = il; ListViewItem item1 = new ListViewItem("ALL"); item1.ImageIndex = 0; listView1.Items.AddRange(new ListViewItem[] {item1}); --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Even though it was set to largeIcon, it's still only 16 X 16 pixels at best. Any help will be appreciated. Cheers Edmond Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100805

    - How to attach to a process middle tier for debugging Hi, I'm consulting on a project that has two solutions, a client solution, and a middletier solution. The middle tier solution is hosted in asp.net. I want to debug something in the middle tier, and I've been told that I have to attach to the asp.net process. So I add a breakpoint on the code in the middle tier. I build the middle tier solution and then the client solution in debug mode. Then I start the client application. Then I'm supposed to attach to the ASP.NET process. I've tried to attach to the asp.net process from both solutions but the debugger doesnt stop at the breakpoint. The middletier is not in the client solution, but is referenced Can Anyone help? Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100803

    - TextBox Size.Height Is there any way to control a TextBox Size property's Height? Besides making it Multiline? Everytime I set the Size, it always reverts back to Size.Height = 20 (or whatever value based on the current font, I think).

    - Marlett not allowed? [VS 2005] I want to display a right-pointing triangle glyph like that indicating a submenu. This is "8" in the Marlett font. However, when I put a label on a form and set its font to Marlett, all I see is a regular "8", both in the designer and when the app is running. Is there a limitation? I once created a drop-down button by explictly drawing text in Marlett, and that worked, but I had to do it that way because I was using two fonts (one for the button text and one for the down glyph). I'd like to avoid doing that much work when it seems like the control should handle it for me. Suggestions? Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100794

    - Form -> Panel -> Child Form -> Resize -> Bug? I'm using the following code to show/hide a form located inside a panel that is located on my main form. The panel is set to DockStyle.Fill so that when the main form is resized the panel is also resized. The problem is that the included child form never resizes beyond it's initial starting size. Don't child forms respect the DockStyle setting during resize of parent controls? If I take out the commented lines of code it works - but of course it looks like crap while doing it. Button click event: if (f2 == null) { f2 = new Form2(); f2.TopLevel = false; this.pnl_childform.Controls.Add(f2); } if (!f2.Visible) { f2.Show(); f2.BringToFront(); f2.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; //f2.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; //f2.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; } else { f2.Hide(); } Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100792

    - AD Replication Problem Hello All, I recently restored two of my Windows 2003 domain controllers from a backup. They were backed up using Symantec LiveState Recovery 6.0. Everything seemed to be just fine, but just recently I noticed that AD Replication is not working. I've received Event id: 13559 Source: NtFrs. I did some research and tried what's suggested at the following link http://www.eventid.net/display.asp?eventid=13559&eventno=657&source=NtFrs&phase=1 That doesn't seem to resolve my problem, after creating the NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT file with no extension in C:\winnt\sysvol\domain, and running "net stop ntfrs" and then "net start ntfrs" I notice much diff. I did get Event Id: 13508 Source: NtFrs. Also, I can see both the servers in Sites and Services. But when I try to manually replicate i get "The Source server is currently rejecting replication requests" Does anywhere know how I resolve this issue? It's causing major issues for me and I need to figure it out ASAP. Last thing I wanna do rebuild any of the servers! Please HELP! -- Raghbir Flora Network Administrator Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100790

    - Problem with Waiting Form Owner I have a process that take some time to process data in formA. While processing the data I wish to pop a "waitingform". The waiting form have it's own thread and show the process advancing between 0 and 100%.There is a timer within the Waitingform, on each tick the progress percentage is read and display, also this reflect that the program is still running. When the processing finish, the waiting form just close. I have done everything and it's work well except for one thing. I wish the waiting form to be modal and own by the main form. If I set the waitingform owner : WaitingForm->Owner = FormA The waitingform doesn't appear before the data process finish, the form disappear as soon as it appear. If I dont set the owner, the waitingform works as expected, but can be lost behind other windows, and user may believe there is a problem when it's not. I use multiple threads in my application. The data processing thread is not the same as formA nor the same as the Waitingform. Does someone have an idea how I can set the ownership of the waiting form and still keep the behavior i wish?

    - Best way to organize large project I am working on rewriting a Fox 7 ODBC app. and teaching myself .NET in the process. So far I have over 130 of the screens rewritten, but debug performance is terrible. It would be much better if I had each screen as seperate solutions, but then I'm constantly having to remove and readd references which became way too much hassel. So currently my solution has the 130+ projects included. But when I start debugging it rebuilds EVERYTHING! eventhough I haven't changed a single thing!! I can play a hand of Solitaire before it finally starts executing. Not finding this situation very productive at all!!! Is there an option that can be set to only rebuild changed modules? Or has the size of my application exceeded the capability of .NET? It sure is looking that way. Or how should an application of this size be organized? The two ways I've discovered each have serious flaws and I'm seriously wondering about the feasibility of developing large application in .NET. -- Message posted via DotNetMonster.com http://www.dotnetmonster.com/Uwe/Forums.aspx/winform/200605/1 Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100759

    - How to control date format in combo Hi All, This SHOULD be simple, but I just can't see it... I have a combo box which uses a dataset as its list source. The displayed member is a date column from the underlying table. When I run it, the date in the combo is formatted as d/m/yyyy hh:mm:ss, which I don't want - I just want the date part. How can I control the format of the date? Do I have to delve into owner-drawing? Surely not! Thanks Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100730

    - Processing Enter on Form Controls I've been having trouble correctly processing the "Enter" key on form controls. Here's what I've done: Set the "AcceptsReturn" property to true Overridden IsInputKey and KeyDown; on KeyDown, if the "Enter" key was pressed, I set e.Handled to true. So now I'm receiving the event, which is good but.... When I press "Enter" in that control (it's a text box, if that makes any difference) I get the Windows "Default Beep." I don't want the default beep. Who else is receiving this event, and why is it causing the default beep? How do I stop this behavior? On a related note: I remember writing Windows software back in the day, and there were handy programs that would show me *all* of the events a particular control received...event watchers. Does Visual Studio have such a program and, if not, I assume there is something out there...if anyone has any recommendations, I would welcome hearing them.

    - Newlines in TextBox I'm trying to programatically add new lines to the content of a (System.Windows.Forms.)TextBox and, while I have found a solution, I feel that it can't be very efficient. There must be a better way. I first tried: textBox.AppendText( "\n New line" ); But that didn't work. Nor did variations on the theme, like textBox.Text += .... Here's what *did* work: String[] lines = new String[textBox.Lines.Length+1]; textBox.Lines.CopyTo( lines, 0 ); lines[lines.Length-1] = textBox.Text; textBox.Lines = lines; This seems very inefficient since we're copying the *entire* contents of the text box just to add a single new line.

    - "line break" disapears in text box after resizing the form I put a text box on a form and set it to "multi line". I use it to show some log information. Every time there is some information, I use TextBox.AppendText method to add a information string and a "\n" into the text box. There will be a line break after the infromation string for the "\n" charactor. But after i resized the form or click some other window on the task bar and switch back, the line break disapears. All the text turns into only one single line. Is there something wrong using "\n" in multiline text box? Is there any solution for this issue? or I should use richtextbox or detail listview instead?

If I do not change the checkbox in the dialog the printer does what it has to do on behave of my settings, evenso, if I look at my .PrinterSettings.Duplex after colsing the dialog my pre-setting is still there and if I change the checkbox the new setting is in the setting.

    - Why my NumericUpDown DataGrid Column can't set the value for new r I've make some NumericUpDownColumn class that inherited the DataGridTextBoxColumn and override the SetColumnValueAtRow method as below: protected override void SetColumnValueAtRow(System.Windows.Forms.CurrencyManager source, int rowNum, object value) { try { base.SetColumnValueAtRow(source, _currentEditRowNum, numericUpDown.Value); Commit(source, _currentEditRowNum); } catch (Exception) { Abort(rowNum); } } And also override other methods such as Edit etc., In the numericUpDown_Leave method, I call the SetColumnValueAtRow method. I found it works fine for the rows that already exists in the datasource which bound to DataGrid, but for the new added row, after I set the value and click the mouse to other row, the value of the new row dispears. Seems that it can't add row & set value for new row. Does anyone could help me for this ? Thanks! -- Do or do not, there is no try. Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100693

    - Need *formatted* value from DataGrid...possible? Hello, all. I have a Windows Forms app with a datagrid control, with several custom column styles applied. One of the columns holds a decimal data type, with a format string of "C" for currency, and this works precisely as intended, eg the value 1234.56 is formatted as $1,234.56. In another portion of the application, I need to get the *formatted* rendering of that value from the grid. I've tried the simple grid[row,col] syntax, but it merely returns the underlying value, but I need the resultant value after the column style is applied. My ultimate intent is to measure the width of the formatted string to autosize the width of the column, and what I have now only formats the raw data, and that won't work. Is what I need even possible? I've gone through the DataGrid FAQ and MSDN and not found what I'm needing, so I'm turning here for help. Many thanks in advance, -intrepid Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100688

    - MC ++ reference types and their scope Hello, I'm back from some old fashioned project and something has changed in comparison to my first hours of programming in Visual C++. I'm up to build a tool and started by means of the Express Edition 2005 of VC++ aka VCM++. I decided to use the advantages of Managed Code but I'm wondering about the designer generated code. It's a Windows Form App. I use Managed Strings and other built in types. My question is if I instantiate an object of type Int32 or Double or String have I order to delete such objects explicitly or is GC doing it. As I can see the code designer doesn't add code to order to destroy such objects explicitly but for one it is doing it. System::ComponentModel::Container ^components; and in the destructor if (components) { delete components; } As I read all members will be implicitly destroyed when they come out of scope. Does this also include the reference members? I read some articles from the msdn mag and know how the finalize mechanism works but I'm just unsure since as I started to program I used the old new, delete mechanism which is obsolete now. Please let me know what can I do to avoid misdesigns. May be it's to basic for the good old programer on this thread but please help. Thanks in advance.

    - Specifying Parent to a Windows Form Where Parent Form is in VB 6 I have built a class library in Visual Basic .NET 2005 that exposes a class as a COM class using the ComClass attribute. This COM class allows (among other things) loading a Windows Form. I am using this .NET class library from Visual Basic 6 as if it were a COM DLL using the new features of Visual Studio 2005. The Visual Basic 6 application contains an MDI form. I can load the Windows Form contained in the .NET class library from Visual Basic 6 by means of the COM class exposed. This works fine as long as the Windows Form is loaded as a non-child form. The problem is that I want the Windows Form to be loaded as a child form of the Visual Basic 6 MDI form. How can I specify to the .NET Windows Form that the parent form is a form in Visual Basic 6? Thanks in advance! Tag: Custom Control Design Time Property Selector Tag: 100675

    - VS2005 Opening a Form in Designer Sets the Modified (Dirty) Indica I have project that has forms derived from another form in a class library. I just converted this project to VS2005 from VS2003. Whenever I open one of the forms the tab showing the name of the form with an asterisk (*) so that it appears like it is modified without me making any changes. When I click the close button it then asks me if I want to save the changes? If I say yes and compare the before and after there is no difference. Has anyone seen this? I'm assuming it's probably being caused by something in my base class (form) but I have no clue what it could be. Any help is appreciated.

Coco,

I'm not sure I completely understand your question, but if you want an
ellipsis button that brings up a file open dialog there is a code how to do
it

[Editor(typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Design.FileNameEditor),
typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor))]
public string FileName
{
get
{
.....
}
set
{
....
}
}
