WindowsFormsParkingWindow
Hi,
I've written an application in C# and the application freeze sometimes. This
happens when I changed the language in full screen mode (without border and
main menu)
When this happened and I use the alt-tab combination then I see a .Net icon
with the name WindowsFormsParkingWindow.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

Undo on InternetExplorer
I am still trying to get the Undo function work on Internet Explorer editor
hosted as activex in my c# application.
Some time ago I've found a note at msdn that says "undo is not supported". I
gave up.
But lately I've downloaded LutzRoeder Writer that makes use of undo
function. I've looked at the code and it turns out that it uses
IOleCommandTarget interface to invoke this command.
Because I cannot get it to work, I have questions:
1. is it a good way to follow? the undo does not work when invoked by
execCommand on IHtmlDocument. is there a chance that it will work with
IOleCommandTarget then?
2. after few days of fighting, digging through msdn and the groups archive,
I've came up with following code but it still does not work. when asking for
CanUndo I always get 0.
could anyone share his/her experiences with me and tell me where the problem
could be? I can send the full source code of my webbrowser control if
needed.
thanks in advance,
Wiktor Zychla

CodeDom Serialization Problem
I have a problem with serializing user controls to
persistant collections with the Code Dom. I have followed
many of the examples I have found, and the serialization
works except for one problem.
I am using the attribute -
DesignerSerialization.Visibility.Content...
Somehow I am losing the "association" between the
instance of the collection I am serializing, and when the
control is reloaded (or when you run the application).
While you remain in normal design-time mode, everything
is serialized properly straight to the code-behind.
Everything is also removed properly straight from the
code-behind (when removing an object)... I have
implemented TypeDescriptors / Convertors / Designers /
etc...
But I still have this problem.
After I reload or run the app. - then what happens is it
becomes disconnected with the serialized collection. It
doesn't know that there was a previous instance of it
that needs to be de-serialized, instead the collection
acts like a new "blank" collection on each reload.
For instance...
Let's say you have a Parent/Container Control that holds
all your child controls inside it. Now you have a
custom-collection (inherits from collectionBase) that
holds the references of the child controls. The custom
collection is of course exposed as a property of the
parent control, standard OO design...
You drop the Parent/Container control on a form. Now you
add child controls to the Form. Well so far - so good.
The code is generated properly in the code-behind as such:
ParentControl.ChildControlCollection.Add(SomeChild)...
etc...
However, you reload the project or run the application.
The CODE is still in the code-behind, but the objects are
no longer physically appearing in the control, even
though the objects are still in the code behind.
Also, when you try to remove an object from the
collection, the object does not exist inside the
collection anymore, instead it only exists in the CODE
editor.
Somehow the collection is being re-instanced or
disassociated with the collection that has been
serialized.
Does anyone have any specifics or information about
where, when, and how the De-Serialization is taking place
during the automated
DesignerSerialization.Visibility.Content process?
I have gone over my code so many times looking for some
place I might have "over-wrote" the instance of the
collection. But it just isn't there, I just don't see why
the instance of my collection would be disassociated when
I run the program or re-load VS.NET...
Thanks for any info, (Really stuck here)

BUG: Printing
Hi,
I am working on the PrintDocument, PrintDialog, PageSetupDialog and
PrintPreviewControl components of Visual Studio .NET 2003. My developement
machine is running Windows XP.
There are some problems I encountered while using them. Please note that,
the Regional and Language setting on my machine is using "Metric"
measurement system (where the default is "US"). In this case, the
measurement unit is "milimeters" and not "inches".
PROBLEM #1
``````````````
The first problem is with PageSetupDialog. The following code,
Dim pagesettings As System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings
Dim pagesetupdialog As System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog
pagesettings = New System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings
With pagesettings.Margins
.Left = 100
.Right = 100
.Top = 100
.Bottom = 100
End With
pagesetupdialog = New System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog
With pagesetupdialog
.PageSettings = pagesettings
.ShowDialog()
End With
' Values printed out are not the same as entered
With pagesettings.Margins
Console.WriteLine(.Left)
Console.WriteLine(.Right)
Console.WriteLine(.Top)
Console.WriteLine(.Bottom)
End With
will reproduce the problem I'm facing.
Before calling the ShowDialog() method of the PageSetupDialog component, I
have already set the Margins to 100. Although my OS's measurement system is
set to "Metric", Visual Studio .NET still uses inches (0.01 in) for it's
measurement unit. In my case, the Margins are set to 1 inch.
On calling the ShowDialog() method, what you see is the margins are all set
to 10 (and the unit is milimeters). On clicking the OK button, the
PageSetupDialog component will convert the value entered in it's dialog to
inches (0.01 in). As the result, the margins after the ShowDialog() is
called are changed to 39 (100/2.54=39.xxxxxx).
This surely is a BUG (or am I missing something here).
I have a solution for this problem and the code is as below.
Dim pagesettings As System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings
Dim pagesetupdialog As System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog
pagesettings = New System.Drawing.Printing.PageSettings
With pagesettings.Margins
.Left = 100
.Right = 100
.Top = 100
.Bottom = 100
End With
pagesetupdialog = New System.Windows.Forms.PageSetupDialog
With pagesetupdialog
.PageSettings = pagesettings
' Keep the original setting
Dim marginSaved As System.Drawing.Printing.Margins
marginSaved = pagesettings.Margins
' Convert to milimeters
pagesettings.Margins =
System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterUnitConvert.Convert(pagesettings.Margins,
System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterUnit.Display,
System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterUnit.TenthsOfAMillimeter)
' Show the page setup dialog
If .ShowDialog() = DialogResult.Cancel Then
' If user clicked Cancel, restore the saved margin
pagesettings.Margins = marginSaved
End If
End With
With pagesettings.Margins
Console.WriteLine(.Left)
Console.WriteLine(.Right)
Console.WriteLine(.Top)
Console.WriteLine(.Bottom)
End With
But there is a problem with it. The conversion between milimeters and inches
causes the measurement to be inaccurate.
PROBLEM #2
``````````
The OriginAtMargins property of the PrintDocument component does not work
properly when the PrintDocument is added into the PrintPreviewControl.
Setting the value to True does not effect the preview shown by
PrintPreviewControl but the printed result is correct.
PROBLEM #3
``````````
When handling the PrintPage event of the PrintDocument, if the
OriginAtMargins of the PrintDocument is set to True and I set,
e.Graphics.PageUnit = GraphicsUnit.Millimeter
then the top margin is measured as milimeters while the left margin is
measured as inches.
The problem discuss above might not be bugs but I have checked the MSDN
library but it does not seem to help much. Any help is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance. Tag: DataGrid Merging row Tag: 60674

DataGridCell.GetHashCode() is a very bad hash function
This is the hash function used by DataGridCell:
public override int GetHashCode()
{
return (((~this.rowNumber * (this.columnNumber + 1)) & 0xffffff00)
>> 8);
}
I tested this hash function over 1000x1000 cells, and found only 4000
distinct hash values were generated. A good hash function should have
generated just under 1e6 distinct hash values.
Also, for small values of rowNumber and columnNumber (roughly, where
rowNumber*columnNumber < 256), GetHashCode() always returns the same
value, 65535.
I think the intention is for this hash function to operate akin to the
mid-square hash function of Knuth, but in practice, the result is
pretty bad.
All in all, this is a terrible hash function.
In fact, the treatment of hash functions throughout the MS libraries
is generally pretty bad.
Object.GetHashCode() returns object identity, a number that increments
by one for each object allocated. If you allocate a series of objects,
the difference between two successive hashcodes will be 1.
Throughout the examples in the MSDN docs, combining hashcodes is
inevitably shown as a.GetHashCode() ^ b.GetHashCode(). Given that
objects allocated close together in time will have hashcodes close
together, this is a very bad way of combining hash codes.
If youre going to use an object or struct as a key, except for
strings, you should always define your own GetHashCode().
A quick and dirty way to define your own GetHashCode() is to multiply
the system GetHashCode() by a large, odd, and preferably prime,
number.
class HashRand
{
private static readonly Random _rand = new Random();
public static int Next()
{
return HashRand._rand.Next() | 0x00010001;
}
}
class Key
{
private static readonly int _hashmul = HashRand.Next();
public override GetHashCode()
{
return base.GetHashCode() * Key._hashmul;
}
}
struct Key2
{
private static readonly int _hashmul1 = HashRand.Next();
private static readonly int _hashmul2 = HashRand.Next();
int x, y;
public override GetHashCode()
{
return x * Key2._hashmul1 + y * Key2._hashmul2;
}

A very good DYNAMIC sizing routine for DataGrids if you want it
It literally requires only one line of code to attach it to any
existing Winform DataGrid, you can give it percentages like the
ASP.NET data grid and minimum column widths, the default of course is
to size all columns equally, it's very cool and the columns always
take up the full client rect of your grid making it look very
professional. I can't believe I had to write this.

Datagrid and scrolling
My question concerns navigation with the DataGrid on my
Windows Form.
Private Sub btnNext_Click(ByVal sender As
System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
btnNext.Click
' Move to the next record
NextRecord()
' Highlight the entire row for user feedback.
grdXNew.Select(grdXNew.CurrentCell.RowNumber)
End Sub
' Move the BindingContext Position to the next record.
Public Sub NextRecord()
' The position of the binding context controls
the "current record"
Me.BindingContext(dtXNew).Position += 1
End Sub
The code seems to work fine, except that after
GrdXNew.Select is fired, the Datagrid scrolls back to the
first record. The row that was navigated to is selected,
but if it is not within the bounds of the grid, the row is
not viewable. The user would then have to scroll the
Datagrid to see what row is highlighted. It appears the
behavior is that the grid always scrolls to the top after
a selection is made programmatically.
My question is: Is there a way to maintain the highlighted
row in the viewable area of the grid?
Thank you in advance. Tag: DataGrid Merging row Tag: 60644

Problem when changing button font at runtime
I create a simple Windows Forms application and drop a simple button
on the form with the designer. I define the Text of the button (i.e.
"Button test") and I set the button width so I have plenty of space to
display the text (i.e. 120). Then I add the following code in the
button's click handler.
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
button1.Font = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 10,
FontStyle.Bold);
}
When I click the button, the button's text is displayed with the new
Font but the last letter (t) is truncated and not displayed properly.
I can't isolate exactly the conditions in which this behavior is
produced but the above conditions produce the bug. The complete code
is below.
Any ideas on this? A bug in the button code? Any way to avoid this?

MDI Child Form Problem
Hey guys, maybe someone can help me with some MDI issues I have. A
co-worker asked me a very simple question, one that I blew off as trivial,
and it has become a time-consuming issue.
Simply put, there is an MDIForm and a child form.
The MDIForm does the usual from within its constructor...
this.IsMdiContainer = true;
Form2 frm = new Form2();
frm.MdiParent = this;
frm.Show();
Okay, so nothing special there.
The child form then has a combobox on it. The question was, how do I get my
child form to close if I pick a particular item from the combobox. Or, to
make it easier, close the child form when the item selection changes in the
combobox.
So the following is in the child form...
private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
this.Close();
}
Unfortunately this throws an exception indicating that the combobox has
already disposed itself and a null-reference exception is raised.
So I suggested the following...
private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender,
System.EventArgs e)
{
this.Dispose(false);
}
This gets rid of the exception, but the child form is really not disposed,
even though visually it looks like it has gone away. It can be made to come
back sporadically by clicking inside the MDI parent form.
Using a true argument in the Dispose yields the same null pointer exception.
So with that, my understanding of forms went down the tubes, along with my
understanding of how the GC works and how correct implementations of
IDisposable work.
Can someone comment on how to get an MDI child form to close itself (i.e.
commit suicide)? Closing the child from a menu or toolbar on the parent
form is not a problem.
Thanks in advance.

Datagrid question
Using VS 2003, VB.NET, sql msde...
This is really a question about a winform datagridcontrol (if there is a
better newsgroup for these winform datagridcontrol questions, let me know).
A parent/child relationship exists. When you click the + next to the parent
row, the relationship name "Display Details" appears. You then click that,
and everything previously FILLed to the child DataSet table displays. All
works as expected.
My question are:
1) Is there an event triggered by clicking on "Display Details" so you could
dynamically FILL the child table at that point, instead of having to fill it
prior it "Display Details" being click? If not an event, any other way to
do it?
2) Since the child table in the DataSet is held in memory, should I be
worried about how large it might get? Can it get to large or does Windows
XP/.NET still handle it appropriately regardless of its size? In my case,
the child could get quite large, constantly being added to by the program
automatically (which is the main reason I would like to load it when needed
via #1 above).
Thanks!

header text when current cell has been changed. But I found a situation =
will cause the grid error when the focus is on the last (add new) row =
and then click on any other controls will raise an error. A BIG RED =
CROSS will then be shown on the datagrid instead of all block of cells.
Does anyone know why the following code will cause the error??... Notes =
that if the .Refresh() statement is remarked.. the error never happens.. =
but the column header text will not update unless the last (add new) row =
is selected. It will make the column header text changed base on the =
last selected row before the last (add new) row is selected.
With CType(objDataGrid, DataGrid)
If =
objTable.Rows(.CurrentCell.RowNumber).Item("SizeType") <> "" Then
objRow =3D =
objTable.Rows.Find(.Item(.CurrentCell.RowNumber, 0))
objCaption =3D =
objSizeTable.Items(objRow.Item("SizeType"))
For Index =3D 1 To 17
=
.TableStyles(strTableName).GridColumnStyles(Index).HeaderText =3D =
objCaption.Items(Index).Description
Next Index
' .Refresh()
End If
End With
I have been suffering in this error for a few weeks but I still have no =
one can answer my question. Please give me a hand. Thanks.............
Ivan

Holding a form in memory
Hi All,
I have a module level form variable as I want to react to custom events that
form raises:
Dim WithEvents m_frmSearchForm As frmPartSearch_Alt
When the user clicks the search button, I carry out this code:
If m_frmSearchForm Is Nothing Then
m_frmSearchForm = New frmPartSearch_Alt
With m_frmSearchForm
m_frmSearchForm.KeepOpen = False
m_frmSearchForm.MdiParent = MyBase.ParentForm
m_frmSearchForm.CaptionText = "Component Search"
m_frmSearchForm.SearchOption =
frmPartSearch_Alt.eSearchOptions.AllowSelect
m_frmSearchForm.Show()
End With
Else
m_frmSearchForm.Show()
End If
Which basically just loads the form and shows it.
The KeepOpen property allows the form to remain open.
The searchoption property tells to allow selection.
Both of these don't affect the problem.
Now, when the user closes the form using the x button, and then clicks the
search button again to execute this code then m_frmSearchForm isn't nothing
and the m_frmSearchForm.Show() is called, however nothing appears.
Can anybody help me with this????
When the x button is used to close a form, how can I ensure that the global
variable is emptied?
I don't want to open the form using showdialog.
Thanks

PropertyGrid editor: DateTime numericUpDown
Do you know how can I change the default editor of DateTime in a
propertyGrid in order to control date/time value ( like the ShowUpDown
using DateTimePicker control), i.e. without Calendar, that only controls
date information.
Is it possible ? Do you have some idea ?
Where can I find information about that ?
I really appreciate your answer...

Configuration file
Hello all,
I've an assembly a.exe which has a configuration file
a.exe.config. Now this assemblly loads a class from
another assembly b.dll. Can I've a configuration file for
this assembly, that is something like b.dll.config? This
way I'll be able to separate configuration for different
files.
I tried this, but this newer class tries to find its
appsettings from a.exe.config, and gives error if it is
not found.
Thanx in advance.

Resizing an Image to fit in a PictureBox
I have a question about how to format the display of a JPEG image in a
PictureBox control. My current code is the fullowing....
Image image = Image.FromFile( strFileName );
pictureBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage;
pictureBox.Image = image;
The images are loaded dynamically, and I do not have control of the size and
aspect ratio of the images. With the StretchImage mode selected, I get
some strange stretching (either vertically or horizontally, when the aspect
ratio of the image is noticably different from the aspect ratio of the
PictureBox.)
What mechanism can I use to effectively resize the image myself before
displaying it in the PictureBox? As yet I'm unable to find either a method
on the Image class or on the PictureBox class to resize the image before
display. I'd like to be able to adjust it to either fit snug vertically or
horizontally depending on respective aspect ratios.
Thanks,
and Cheers,

asynchronous programming question
Hello,
With asynchronous programming :
Why does the callback-function (running in a worker thread) may not update
the state of a control on the main-form ?
The docs say that you must use a MethodInvoker instead as in following
example :
Private Sub CallBtn_Click(ByVal sender ...) Handles CallBtn.Click
webServiceObj = New MyDatabaseWSClass()|
Dim delCB As New AsyncCallback(AddressOf MyCallBack)
aResult = webServiceObj.BeginConnectToDB(CInt(txtSeconds.Text), delCB,
Now)
End Sub
Private Sub UpdateUI()
OutputLabel.Text = "Async: Web service call complete."
End If
Private Sub MyCallBack(ByVal result As IAsyncResult)
If webServiceObj.EndConnectToDB(result) = True Then
DisplayMessage(result)
End If
' following is NOT allowed although it works fine ?????
OutputLabel.Text = "Async: Web service call complete."
Dim mi As New MethodInvoker(AddressOf Me.UpdateUI)
Me.BeginInvoke(mi)
End Sub
Any ideas ?
Thank you

Problem in printing multiple copies
Hi,
I want to get the print data from the PrintDialog box and pass it to
the crystal reports. But using the following code I am not able to get
data.
Private dgPrintDialog As New PrintDialog()
dgPrintDialog.Document = Nothing
dgPrintDialog.AllowSelection = False
dgPrintDialog.AllowSomePages = True
dgPrintDialog.AllowPrintToFile = False
dgPrintDialog.ShowNetwork = True
dgPrintDialog.ShowDialog()
NoOfCopies= dgPrintDialog.PrinterSettings.Copies
It is showing NoOfCopies as 1 though I have given 2 in the print dialog box.
How I can retrive the data from PrintDialog box.
Or Is there any other alternative for this problem
