    - Save & Restore Object Hello I wrote a little dialog-form and now I want to do something like this When the user opens the form the actual state of the complete form and all its controls is saved into a variable of the form itself. The user probably manipulates some controls but then the user clicks on the "Cancel"-button. Now the old state should be restored How can I achieve this type of serialization. (I don't want to save the state to a file) Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71551

    - Windows Performance hi, I have a windows application that will be having abt 25 - 30 forms open. I needed some performance stats regarding: 1. if i close the form, do i close it or just hide it. is there any gain in hiding the form ? 2. Is it better to keep the form in memory or cache the data and re-populate the form when it is again called for. Any help is appreciated. TIA :) Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71542

    - resizing Hi All, I have in my windows form, a set of controls which is Label, Edit, Label and another edit. These are lined up horizontally. When I resize the form horizontally, I want both the edit controls to grow by an equal amount. which means label 1 stays where it is edit1 stays where it is but increases in width label 2 moves horizontally but retains the size edit 2 moves horizontally and increases in width. Can this be easily achieved in the designer or do I have to write code for it ? TIA, --Saurabh Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71540

    - Printing in .NET redundant? Every article or piece of information about printing a Windows Form in .NET suggests that I have to draw each control myself But when a Windows Form is refreshed the Form::OnPaint(e) method is called, where e is of type PaintEventArgs The OnPaint() base method ***DRAWS*** the controls and their contents into the graphics context (e.Graphics So it seems to be very silly and a downright waste of time that I have to basically reverse engineer th OnPaint() method to draw a form into the print handler's graphic context Is there no way to just print what is already drawn by the OnPaint() method Or is the necessary API purposely withheld by Microsoft Thanks for any help here Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71530

    - TextWidth In VB6 there was a function for the WindowsForm called TextWidth. This function when called passing a string you would return the width of the string as it will be displayed on your screen. With this I was able to appropriately set the controls width property with the contents of its text property. Making the text to be displayed in its entirety without being cutoff. Is there a VB.NET equivalent? I looked around for this function and it no longer exists. Is there a system class that would do the same for me Thanks...

    - forcing form to resize upon load Hi! I am experiencing a peculiar problem with some old Active X control I am using in my C# winform. Once the form loads, the control layout position withing the form is incorrect. As soon as I manually resize the form, the control's layout becomes as intended. I need to either fix the control (I am not sure if possible) or force the form to resize just a bit upon load. Is it possible If yes, what can I do to do that? Any ideas are greatly appreciated Thank you in advance --Sam D.. Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71521

    - DataGrid Sorting returns wrong values from dataTable Hello, I have a datagrid in my C# application. The Grid has 4 columns, one is a Boolcoluumn, other 3 are string columns. Out of which bool column is editable & the last column is editable too. Using DataGridColumnStyle i've allowed Sorting to true for the whole Datatable. At a time the user is allowed to Enable only one bool column for the whole Grid. I've handled this using CurrentCellChanged event for that column by disabling all the row's bool value & enabling the selected one.Whenever the user clicks the column header to enable sorting either Ascending or Descending, it sorts accordingly based upon the clicked column header. The real problem is after sorting, when the user selects a particular bool column, in the CurrentCellChanged Event it gives the correct Row Number according to the selection, but using the Rownumber if i enable that selected row, it selects a different one rather than the currently selected row. The selected row happens to be the one which i've constructed in the begining. After sorting it hasn't updated the DataTable. I tried calling AcceptChanges() to the DataTable before selecting doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure is this a bug or a limitation with respect to DataGrid using DataTable & Dataset. Here's my sample code. private void CreateDataGrid() { myDataSet = new DataSet("myDataSet"); myDataTable = new DataTable("myDataTable"); DataColumn Parameter_cEnable,Parameter_cDefaultName,Parameter_cParameterInst,Parameter_ cParameterAssign; Parameter_cEnable = new DataColumn("Select", typeof(bool)); Parameter_cDefaultName = new DataColumn("DefaultName",typeof(string)); Parameter_cParameterInst = new DataColumn("Parameter",typeof(string)); Parameter_cParameterAssign = new DataColumn("AssignedName",typeof(string)); myDataTable.Columns.Add(Parameter_cEnable); myDataTable.Columns.Add(Parameter_cDefaultName); myDataTable.Columns.Add(Parameter_cParameterInst); myDataTable.Columns.Add(Parameter_cParameterAssign); myDataSet.Tables.Add(myDataTable); DataGridTableStyle myDataGridTableStyle = new DataGridTableStyle(); myDataGridTableStyle.MappingName = "myDataTable"; myDataGridTableStyle.RowHeadersVisible = false; myDataGridTableStyle.ColumnHeadersVisible = false; myDataGridTableStyle.AllowSorting = true; myDataGrid.SetDataBinding(myDataSet,"myDataTable"); } PPLCols.DG_Selection is the bool column private void __ParmVar_DT_CurrentCellChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { DataGrid dgLocal = (DataGrid)sender; if (dgLocal.CurrentCell.ColumnNumber == (int)PPLCols.DG_Selection) { foreach(DataRow myRow in this.__ParmVar_DataTable.Rows) { myRow[(int)PPLCols.DG_Selection] = false; } myDataTable.Rows[dgLocal.CurrentRowIndex][(int)PPLCols.DG_Selection] = true; __CurrentRowIndex = dgLocal.CurrentRowIndex; } } Any help will be appreciated.

    - DataGrid - Tab skips my custom column If you take the combobox column style from somewhere like the datagrid faq at syncfusion.com and replace the combobox with a button or another textbox and then fix up the code to compile and run, there will be a problem. When tabbing into the column in question, the focus will enter the column on the tab key press, and move on to the following column on the tab key up. This is obviously not what is desired. The reason I ask is that I wrote my own databound combobox control (because the Winforms one stinks - can't turn off the border,...), but when I use it in the grid like is done with the combobox example in the syncfusion datagrid faq, I get the behavior described above. Further investigation shows that I get that behavior with just about any control (button, textbox) except the raw combobox. Any ideas? Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71519

    - User Interface Process Hi I'm using the UIP Application Block and I'm having difficulties when using a view that's modal and wanting the view to close when navigation is passed to another view I'm starting a new task via OnStartTask which luanches a set of forms we are using as a wizard to guide users through a use case. The first form opens correctly as a modal form but when I navigate to the second form via Navigate() the first form stays open. If I choose modal = false then the first form closes OK but I must have a modal form when launching the first form The UIP documentation within the "Creating the Views Section" states that if openModal is set to true, then stayOpen should be set to false but this does not seem to work.

I just want to store the current cell address in a global variable. This global variable should get an update everytime the user changes the control in the datagrid to a different cell which becomes current cell Note: I found that most other queries here talked of currentcell as a property. But for the datagrid name i have created, i do not find any such thing as eg. datagrid1.currentcell. In fact, for datagrid1, i dont find events such as currentcellchanged etc that all of you seem to be talking of Since i am literally a novice, i would appreciate if you can explain in detail where i am going wrong and how to go abt it in the right way Regards Giri Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71481

    - CurrencyManager.AddNew - Cancel ?? Hey Gang, I posted this on .DataBinding, but that is a dead group (no activity) so I retracted it. I am actively overcoming my fears and prejudices toward DataBindinding, and have come across another issue. My setup is like this: 3 textboxes bound to a table in the dataset (tbl1). A listbox that shows all records in the table. 3 more textboxes bound to tbl2 in the same dataset, the child table of tbl1. I have 2 currency managers, one for the Parent, and one for the Child tables. The AddNew button for the child calls cmChild.AddNew I need to havdle the case where a user then clicks another record in the listbox. I get an error thrown about tbl2 fields not allowing nulls. This occurs before any events on the CurrencyManager, and After my Listbox's Click event. How would I handle this (what event), and do I just call 'CancelCurrentEdit'? Thanks!

    - Getting Strongly Named Flash Shockwave dlls for use with No-Touch Deployment Smart Client I am attempting to a Windows Forms application running as a Smart Client (e.g. No-Touch deployment). I found that unless I strongly named my application assembly, IEexec used by No-Touch deployment would load multiple copies of application in the download assembly cache (which would cause InvalidTypeExceptions in my application). However, my application has a Flash movie in it. The Shockwave dll's I have are not strongly named so I get the following error: "Unable to emit assembly: Referenced assembly 'AxInterop.ShockwaveFlashObjects' does not have a strong name" Strongly named assemblies cannot contain non-strongly named dll's. Does anyone know how to get or make strongly named versions of AxInterop.ShockwaveFlashObjects and Interop.ShockwaveFlashObjects? I tried using the tlbimp.exe utility, but it gives the following error: TlbImp error: The input file AxInterop.ShockwaveFlashObjects.dll' is not a valid type library. I tried using tlbexp to make a type library, but I couldn't use tlbimp to convert it back after that. Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71463

    - MeasureCharacterRanges inconsistent Hi If I make subsequent calls to MeasureCharacterRanges, specifying a rectangleF already determined by MeasureCharacterRanges, and the same Font and StringFormat, shouldn't it repeatedly determine the same bounds Example Dim f As New Font("Arial", 10 Dim sf As StringFormat = StringFormat.GenericDefaul Dim s As String = "test string Dim r As RectangleF =r.FromLTRB(100, 100, 200, 200 Dim g As Graphics = Me.CreateGraphic Dim ranges As CharacterRange() = {New CharacterRange(0, s.Length) Dim regions() As Regio sf.SetMeasurableCharacterRanges(ranges regions = g.MeasureCharacterRanges(s, f, r, sf r = regions(0).GetBounds(g Debug.WriteLine(r.ToString regions = g.MeasureCharacterRanges(s, f, r, sf r = regions(0).GetBounds(g Debug.WriteLine(r.ToString regions = g.MeasureCharacterRanges(s, f, r, sf r = regions(0).GetBounds(g Debug.WriteLine(r.ToString This code outputs {X=102,Y=101,Width=59,Height=15 {X=104,Y=102,Width=52,Height=14 {X=106,Y=103,Width=45,Height=13 My problem is this. If the first call to MeasureCharacterRanges returns proper bounds, then I should reasonably expect that subsequent calls would agree! My problem is that what I actually do in my project is call DrawString after a single call to MeasureCharacterRanges. Unfortunately, it too does not agree with the already determined bounds, and wraps my text unexpectedly Does anyone have the answer to this Thanks Brett.

    - Flicker and dispose Hi all Got a problem with my application. Whenever I close a form that's been shown through ShowDialog() and go back to the parent form, whatever is running behind my app (Usually VS), appears very briefly - and creates a flickering effect I've enabled double buffering on all my forms, and it has improved it somewhat, but it still occurs The problem I think is that I am calling Dispose() on each form in the Closed event. This is because we've found that DotNet often doesn't garbage collect instances of forms if they aren't explicitly disposed, so we call this.Dispose(true) GC.SuppressFinalize(this) in the Closed event. If we don't do this our app quickly starts chewing up memory and on low-end machines causes thrashing. I tried not calling dispose on some forms and the flickering disappeared So the question is, has anyone had this problem or does anyone have any ideas as to how to reduce the flickering and still allow the GC to collect the forms correctly Thanks in advance Simon Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71400

    - Programming Methods - Separating UI & Data I have a general "programming principles" question on a project I'm currently working on. I figured I'd take a bit more of an object-oriented approach than usual since the application is pretty big. I thought that if I created one project, housed all of the classes I needed to manage data, and then created another class library project to hold all of my custom controls, I'd be set. Just reference the control project, use classes to keep track of controls and event handling for those controls, and voila. Display and data are separate entities. However, it was OK for much of the first few forms and controls. The controls were pretty transparent and did what the management classes told them to do and threw events back at the management classes. But then the inevitable "little things" started creeping in and now I have some controls processing data, events flying every which way between projects, etc. Now if I were to diagram the structure of how this works (and it does work... in some twisted way, but I don't think I could live with myself as a programmer if I left the code like this) it would look like a spider web built by a spider on crack. For those who have used this approach in it's correct form (no pun intended), are there any diagrams or articles you can throw my way that might help? Do you create arrays on the management classes side and keep track of instances of controls in the arrays, or just poll controls via For Each loops, events, etc.? Best way to manage controls, controls within controls, avoid reflection to find controls? Thanks -- any material/advice much appreciated.

    - Find a .NET control ? I posted this in Microsoft.Public.dotnet.faqs but did not get any answers. Maybe I'll have more luck here, so please bear with me... Does anyone know where I can find an analog clock control for c#? Something along the lines of the clock in Longhorn would be great, but I would also settle for a nice looking digital clock. Thanks for your time... Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71380

    - Question about use of Hide method Is this a proper technique or just a newbie hack? I was looking for alternatives to globals I have a project with a main form I add a form X. I add a property Y and a button to X. I call X.ShowDialog() from the main form In form X, I press the button which sets the value of the property Y and then calls Me.Hide() I then retrieve the value of the property Y from X and then call X.Dispose in the main form (I came up with this myself. I was not aware that Hide could return control to the calling form and I haven't found anything explicitly relating to this in the documentation yet.

I have a about 5 forms, also a module with Sub Main() which loads the forms, and at then i have "application.run(form1)" Im not sure, but when i load my attached helpfile, it always loads behind the application screen, when it should be in front. Is this the correct way to show the main form window? thanks, Tag: Language attribute for exe and dll files Tag: 71372

    - Problem with attaching help file Hi there, i have a strange problem in where i have attached a help file using the helpProvider control, and when i press F1, it loads the help, but puts it behind the actual application form. Then when i click between the help and application window, it switches between them eratically and i cant figure out why its doing this? I also created a new blank form with only help attached and cant replicate it. All the form properties are set as standard also. Any ideas? thanks, Paul.

I have build my application (it's consist of 2 assemblies) and gets 2
files app.exe and app2.dll
So when I open Windows Explorer and click (right button :)) on any of
those files then select "Properties" from popup menu and than select Version
tab
the Language attribute value is always "Language Neutral".

It need to put there "English (United States)" but can't! (it's company
rules)

Using of
[assembly: AssemblyCulture("")]
[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("")]
at AssemblyInfo.cs file gives no result. Always - Language Neutral

The application has no Multilanguage support. Only English.

Can someone help me?

We make several builds per day and I need automatic way to set this
attribute.

(I know that I can open exe or dll files at VS and change Language
attribute manually but I need automatic way)

P.S. All assemblies distributed from Microsoft have setted Language
attribute to "English (United States)". Hey, guys, how are you do this?

Thanks,
Alex
