    - Licensing an assembly with components We are developing an assembly that will expose a multitude of components and controls. Many of them are inherited from one another and some of them represent user controls that group some other controls on them. We need to license all major types. We created a LicenseProvider that works very well by checking the design time license and embeding the runtime license in the result assembly. The problem is that if a user uses a large number of controls a separate license for each type gets embeded in the result making the file larger than needed. Also, the process of running the license check for each type might decrease performance a little. So, my idea was this: to create a special class inside the assembly with a static constructor. This means that everytime the assembly is loaded in one app domain the static constructor will be called. I would then run the license check in the static constructor and set a static value to true or false meaning the license was good or not. Then in each type I can simply check the static value and continue or not. Then, in the end result assembly only one license, corresponding to the special class, will be embeded... Considering that all other security issues are taken care of (sigining the assembly, etc...), does this method present any danger? Can anybody think of any security issues? This assembly will be sold entirely and there will be no licenses per type, but just per the entire assembly so this approach makes sense to me... I was only wondering if anybody might think of a reason why this might not be a good idea Thank you! Iulia Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65273

    - Legacy Application Reengineering (Basic to C#) We currently have a financial application running on an HP 3000, written in Basic ( the old kind, with line numbers and single-character variable names, etc) with about 500K lines of code. It uses a no-longer-sold, non-relational, HP-proprietary database called Image. This application has many very happy customers, each utilizing it via terminal emulator software in remote locations. We are tentatively architecting a phased migration to a .NET solution, for obvious reasons. Likely, we would first create a cleaner presentation layer based on WinForms, then migrated business logic off the HP3000 to a Win 2003 server ( in C# code), and finally move the database to SQL Server. But.. none of us have experience with a legacy migration/reengineering process (particularly from such an antiquated code base.) Further, given our meager start-up funding level, we cannot afford to hire expensive consultants who specialize in this area. Does Microsoft provide resources with advice on the reengineering process? Whitepapers? Web resources? tools? Also, would anyone recommend good books on this topic? Or any other websites (other than just Microsoft's)? Are there conversion tools to convert Basic to C#? And, my MOST IMPORTANT question (pardon the all caps)... are there "rules of thumb" for estimating programmer resource requirements for migration based on lines of code, database schema complexity, etc.?

    - Populate ComboBox with a DataReader Is it possible to populate a ComboBox's DisplayMember and the ValueMember via a SqlDataReader in C#? I know how to do it off of a dataset, but I would rather not incur the overhead since it is just a display field that is used to populate other information from the key value (ValueMember).

    - SYNCHRONISING ALL OPEN FORMS - WINFORMS I have a client-server application using ADO.NET datasets where the user can open several forms - and as many copies of a form as they care to - and edit the data on them. How do you synchronise all the open forms when the user changes a value on the currently active form? For example: * user opens a ViewOrders form which shows a list of Orders including the SupplierName for each Order * user opens EditSupplier form which shows a list of Suppliers * user edits a SupplierName The corresponding SupplierName on ViewOrder form should now change to reflect the edit. I need a general pattern for this - there are hundreds of possible fields the user can edit and any number of different forms could be open - any of which may (or may not) need to be "synchronised". (This sort of behaviour is common in most quality shrink-wrapped software.) cheers Andrew -- **************************************************************************** andrewbingham.com tel 01223 514674 (Cambridge) mobile 07970 161057 fax 07970 601283 email Andrew@AndrewBingham.com DISCLAIMER, PLEASE NOTE: This communication is for the attention of the named recipient only The content should not be passed on to any other person.

    - DataGrid and Wheel on mouse Using VS 2003, VB.net, msde... I have a databound datagrid that works fine. The form also has several combo boxes that determines what the datagrid displays. When data is displayed, if you highlight a row, or click on a cell, and use the mouse wheel to scroll down, it immediately gives focus to combobox tab stop 1, scrolling down it's options. I would anticipate the wheel to simply scroll down the datagrid (like hitting the down arrow on the scroll bar), not swich to another control and scroll its options. Any idea what is going on and how to prevent this? Thanks! Bob Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65260

    - WinForms app passes DataSet to remoted type: possible bug Our DAL (Data Access Layer as a dll) is hosted by IIS. We use binary serialization to pass a DataSet into the DAL from a client exe. Our client exe calls GetChanges on DataSet and passes the changes to our remoted DAL. On inserts we have an output parameter for the primary key. After the call to DataAdapter.Update, we watch the insert sproc run and return the output param value. We watch the DataRow change from Added to Unchanged. We watch the source column for output param get set to the outparam's value. The DAL then returns the DataSet to the client exe. Once back in the client exe, the DataRow is still marked as Added and the source column is empty. This is exactly the way it looked when it was sent to the remoted DAL. Now, if we run the DAL locally in a private folder, we see the same results in the DAL. However, back in the client exe the DataRow is marked as Unchanged and the source column contains the output parm value. This leads me to believe there is a bug in the Remoting or ADO.NET architecture. Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65248

    - events in multithreaded application Hi, I want to create a class that creates a thread internally to do some work. It will interact with winforms using events. What happens when the code that is running in a seperate thread raises an event? Will the code in the event handler that is attached to the event run in the internal thread, or will it run in the GUI thread? The MSDN documentation says that all interaction with the GUI from other threads have to go through an Invoke method. The user shouldn't know that the class used threads internally. If anybody has any ideas, article links etc it would be most apreciated. Thanks, Chris Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65240

    - PropertyGrid not updating correctly Hi, I've made a class containing a public int and a public Point. I also created a TypeConverter (in fact an ExpandableObjectConverter) supporting InstanceDescriptorInfo. This results in a nice expandable property containing the integer property and an expandable Point property. So far so good. Further I've found out that in order to inform my control that a sub- property has been changed then I have to override GetCreateInstanceSupported and CreateInstance. Now the control catches the updates. However: If I expand the property in the PropertyBrowser like this: -MyClassProp - PointProp X Y IntProp and then enter a new X value and press Enter then the PropertyGrid somehow gets confused and displays something like this: -MyClassProp + PointProp IntProp Y IntProp Ie. the Point-property is collapsed but still partially drawn as expanded! Collapsing and expanding the MyClassProp updates the PropertyGrid. My implementation of CreateInstance is pretty simple: public override object CreateInstance(ITypeDescriptorContext Context, System.Collections.IDictionary PropertyValues) { Point p = (Point)PropertyValues["PointProp"]; MyClassProp mcp = new MyClassProp((int)PropertyValues["IntProp"], p); return mcp; } What am I doing wrong? Or is this a bug in the PropertyGrid? Regards /Claus Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65235

    - WinApp Deployment Hello All, I am frustrated with the concept of No-Touch Deployment. This was a big marketing aspect of the .NET development model, but there are many ways to do it, and none of them are working for me. The Updater Application Block requires BITS, its own service, a script file, etc. This is a deployment issue to begin with. The 'navigate to an '.exe' file doesn't seem to work on my W2K3 Server, through an ISA firewall. (no idea where the issue is, just nothing happens when I navigate to the URL from my network. It works on the server itself. The server is in my Trusted Zone. I don't want to go opening huge holes without knowing how to approach this). Will W2K3 Server server the EXE over the net by default? Is my ISA Server preventing it? When I do run it on the server itself, I then get security issues related to the fact that my app hits a web service. Is this an effective means of deploying an application that will need to hit the user's hard drive, as well as a database / web service? How would I go about implementing it? Or, am I better to use the Updater Application Block? I have not found any article that details the security side of this, How To, Best Practices, etc. Just a few articles that make it sound so simple.

    - Problems binding control data types to a dataset I've run into a problem with binding form properties to data in an xml file (through a dataset). As it turns out, I can easily bind if the data type of the property on the control is a normal datatype such as a string or integer. If the datatype is not one of the built-in types however, things go horribly wrong. Consider this xml file: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <SettingsData> <one> <Text>Center</Text> </one> </SettingsData> If I create a normal winforms application and add the following code to the form's constructor, it works. I get "Center" in the text box. Here's the code that works: DataSet dataset; dataset = new DataSet(); dataset.ReadXml(@"d:\development\bindtest\form.xml"); TextBox textbox = new TextBox(); Binding binding = new Binding("Text", dataset, "one.Text"); textbox.DataBindings.Add(binding); textbox.Width = 150; textbox.Height = 50; textbox.Top = 50; textbox.Left = 50; textbox.Parent = this; this.Controls.Add(textbox); I hardcoded the size and placement of the text box, but I can easily get that from the xml as well. I encountered a problem when I tried to pull TextAlign from the xml file though. I know that this would require the use of Format, so I implemented that. I changed the xml from above to look like this: <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <SettingsData> <one> <TextAlign>Center</TextAlign> </one> </SettingsData> And I changed the code from above to look like this (changed from Text to TextAlign, and added the convert event handler): DataSet dataset; dataset = new DataSet(); dataset.ReadXml(@"d:\development\bindtest\form.xml"); TextBox textbox = new TextBox(); Binding binding = new Binding("TextAlign", dataset, "one.TextAlign"); binding.Format += new ConvertEventHandler(FormatHorizontalAlignment); textbox.DataBindings.Add(binding); textbox.Width = 150; textbox.Height = 50; textbox.Top = 50; textbox.Left = 50; textbox.Parent = this; this.Controls.Add(textbox); I also added the Convert Event Handler: public void FormatHorizontalAlignment(object sender, ConvertEventArgs cevent) { switch((string)cevent.Value) { case "Center": cevent.Value = HorizontalAlignment.Center; break; case "Left": cevent.Value = HorizontalAlignment.Left; break; case "Right": cevent.Value = HorizontalAlignment.Right; break; } } This event handler looks right to me. I followed the example from the help files. I've made similar code work with other data types such as booleans being coverted from a T or F in the xml file. DesiredType shows HorizontalAlignment. When I run this code, oddly, the event handler is executed three times. Each time seems to execute correctly. Then I get an unhandled exception from the Application.Run(new Form1()); Error creating window handle. Can anyone tell me what's happening and how to fix it? I foresee I'll have the same problem trying to read the font name and size from the xml file. I have a workaround, but it's very unelegant. Here's the stack trace: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Error creating window handle. at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.CreateHandle(CreateParams cp) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateHandle() at System.Windows.Forms.TextBoxBase.CreateHandle() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl(Boolean fIgnoreVisible) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.CreateControl() at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ContainerControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WmShowWindow(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.DebuggableCallback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) at System.Windows.Forms.SafeNativeMethods.ShowWindow(HandleRef hWnd, Int32 nCmdShow) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.SetVisibleCore(Boolean value) at System.Windows.Forms.Form.SetVisibleCore(Boolean value) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.set_Visible(Boolean value) at System.Windows.Forms.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoopInner(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) at System.Windows.Forms.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoop(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context) at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form mainForm) at bindtest.Form1.Main() in d:\development\bindtest\form1.cs:line 109 tia, brian Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65186

    - System.Windows.Forms.ListView: OnItemCheck method called when displaying the form Is there any way to know whether the OnItemCheck is being called in response to a user action (mouse or keyboard) as opposed to the form loading? I have a class which derives from System.Windows.Forms.ListView. Among other features, it enables the checkboxes and overrides the OnItemCheck() method. I have placed this ListView on a form and use form.ShowDialog() to display it whenever the user presses a certain button. If the user ticks any of the items in the ListView, and then presses the button again, the form displays okay, but it calls the OnItemCheck() method twice for each item that was previously checked (once to uncheck, and again to check the item). The problem is, that I keep track of the order in which the user checked the checkboxes, and when OnItemCheck is called it effectively changes the order to be the same as the insertion order in the list.

I try the following, ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.InsertUser ( @last_name char(25), @first_name char(20), @phone char(20), @login_name char(30), @email char(100), @last_login datetime, @datemodif datetime, @timestamp timestamp, @user_id uniqueidentifier OUTPUT ) AS SET NOCOUNT OFF; SET @user_id = NEWID() SET @timestamp = NULL INSERT INTO [user] (user_id, last_name, first_name, phone, login_name, email, last_login, timestamp, datemodif) VALUES (@user_id, @last_name, @first_name, @phone, @login_name, @email, @last_login, @timestamp, @datemodif); SELECT user_id, last_name, first_name, phone, login_name, email, last_login, timestamp, datemodif FROM [user] WHERE (user_id = @user_id) Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65148

    - WinForm Question Hi, I am trying to validate a form with two tab pages by looping through each control on the form and setting focus to it. I am running into a problem, each time I loop to a control on the tab page not selected it does not fire the validating the event. I am confused why this is happening and was wondering if there is a way around this. I have tried to use ctl.TopLevelControl property to get the tabpage and then call the Show method. However, this does not work very well. Here is the code below I use: formControls is an array of Controls that I create in a method that retrieves all the controls including subcontrols on the form. foreach (Control ctl in formControls) { if (ctl.CausesValidation) { ctl.Focus(); if(!this.Validate()) { break; } } } Thanks Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65137

    - Internet Explorer is bleeding through when using MDI Forms We are using MDI Forms. We have an MDI parent w/ a navigation panel to the left. (Similar to the toolbox panel in the .net environment) Then we click on a link in the navigation panel, a new form is loaded inside the MDI parent. The bleeding seems to take place while the child form is being loaded. Once the form is loaded inside the parent the bleeding is gone. Does anyone know what is happening? Thanks...

I also have a windows form with two datagrids. Now I want to fill datagrid 1 with the datatable, but I only want to see the "value" column. The user may select (double click) one recod inside this datagrid, I want to know the value inside the "Key" column of the selected column. Remember, the column "Key" you cannot see on the screen. Thats it! Can somebody show me how to connect the datatable to the datagrid? How to hide the "Key" column? How to retriev the selected record with the value of that "Key" column? Can you give me some sample code? Thanks! Arjen Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65134

    - Creating forms on a non UI thread Hi Could someone clarify something for me please? There is a rule about not creating a Windows control on a non UI thread isn't there but what exactly is the rule. Is it I shouldn't construct a control on a non UI thread or I shouldn't Show a control on a non UI thread. If I have a callback method that is invoked when a worker thread completes. The callback method needs to display a form with some information obtained from the worker thread. Now, the callback method is actually executed on the worker thread, not the UI thread and so I'm creating the UI control on a different thread. I do however have a ShowControl() method on the main form that I call to display the newly create control and this method checks the Form.InvokeRequired property before calling Show(), calling Invoke() if required. Is this the correct way of doing it or should I also be asking the UI thread (aka the main form) to create the new UI control as well? Hope this all make sense!!

    - How do I "flash" my notifyicon? Hi Everyone, I'd like my notifyicon icon to change every few seconds on a given event. I guess I'd approach this using System.Timers.Timer or the Windows.Forms.Timer, where I'd set the "Enabled" property of the timer to "true" in the eventhandler. I've tried this but with little success. Can anyone tell me the best way to achieve this? Thanks, Wobbles Tag: DataGrid column Freeze in visual basic.Net Tag: 65123

    - Get a value of a VB.Net application from another VB.Net application I would get a value of a VB.Net application from another session of the same VB.Net application.. I stored the value in a global variable and I would get this value from another session of the same VB.Net application.. The steps I'm implementing are 1) Look for if another instance of the same VB.Net application is running on the PC... (I found the code to implement it... 2) If another session is found, I would get the value of a variable, to compare it with the value stored in the active instance to do something.. Any idea ???

    - ComboBox in TabControl I have 2 ComboBox in a form. One is in a TabPage of a TabControl They are data-associated through a code as this objDA.Fill(objDS With objComboBo .ValueMember = strI .DisplayMember = strValu .DataSource = objDS.Tables(0 .SelectedValue = 0 : .SelectedIndex = - End Wit When the form is shown, the one in the form contains the items but has no one selected while the one in the TabPage of the TabControl has the first item selected... If I force the empty selection setting his SelectedValue=0 or/and SelectedIndex=-1 it goes ok, but when I change the TabPage and then return to it, the first item is shown again !! Any ideas ??

This is not possible by using the default DataGrid. There are some other 3rd
party grid controls who have this kind of functionality.

Here is a nice list of the available controls:

Hi,

You need to create an inherited datagrid contol. Override the
on mouse down event to prevent the user from resizing the column.

Protected Overrides Sub OnMouseDown(ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs)

Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = Me.HitTest(New Point(e.X, e.Y))

If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.ColumnResize Then

Return 'no baseclass call

End If

MyBase.OnMouseDown(e)

End Sub
