    - Urgent Help - SMTP mail I have created the send mail application in console application of c#.net 1. When I set my smtp server as some ip address which is a smtp server and when the smtp runs in my local machine where my exe resides, the mail is sent perfectly. 2. When i specify the ip address of some amtp server in my intranet and when the smtp server is not configured in my local machine whre my exe resides, the send mail fails. My doubts: 1. Eventhough i sent it to the correct ip address of local intranet which is having amtp server , why it is not working? 2. Does it expect to run smtp service in the local machine? 3. Whether smtp has to be configured in local machine. But logically it should not be the case. It should work eventhough the smtp is not configured in the local machine and if it is configured in any other machine which is having amtp server 4. some of the sites specified that the smtp server should be hard coded as "localhost". Is it so? Please help me ASAP. Its urgent Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103852

    - Windows App Freezing I have a muti-threaded windows app that creates child forms in a separate thread which then invoke a delegate on the MDI parent form. I have put all time-consuming tasks on separate background workers like running stored proc, poppulating data grid, etc. I am running VB.Net 2005 on Windows 2000 SP4 and on XP SP2. After a period of inactivity in the app (15-30 minutes), it freezes. The task manager says its running but I cannot switch to it. I tried using the DoEvents method on a timer but that had very strange results - the app was responsive but all the functionailty errored out. I read up on message pumps and STA model. Even though its should be an MTA, when I try and do application.run - it forces me to create the MDIFrm as STA or a Treeview control on it will not register drag-drop events. I am not using application.run but have set the MDIForm as startp form (and not set it to run as single instance so it should be STA). I am not using any COM but am using Infragistics 3rd party grid control and dock manager. Both are .Net components and don't require registering. The MDIForm as a treeview, dockmanger and a tablelayout panel prior to opening child forms. Any ideas why this freezing is occurring? It was much more frequent (even if there was activity) on XP with SP1 but with SP2, it was much less. Please advise. Thanks Anita Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103849

    - Installing Windows XP x64 I bought and built a new couputer a few months ago. Part of it was a copy of Windows XP x64 Professional. Every time I have installed the windows I have run into a problem during the Finalizing Installation phase of the installation. During the Saving Settings the installation locks up and stops with a time of 8 or 9 minutes remaining. I have tried switching the CDRom thinking that maybe it was bad. If I just leave it there and see if it will get past it and is just running slow, eventualy the screen saver and eventualy sleep mode kick in and the installation just stops. I am out of ideas as to what it might be. Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103846

    - WebBrowser control and clearing/deleting cookies I have an application that uses an instance of the WebBrowser control. This WebBrowser instance stays active and is never closed while the application runs. I need advice on how to delete the cookies used by the WebBrowser control. The plan is for the application to "timeout" after a short time (30 seconds) and return to a clean state -- with all cookies from the prior session deleted or cleared, regardless of the expiration dates set on those cookies. I need to clear the cookies used by the WebBrowser instance. I have tried the following with no success: 1. webBrowser1.Document.Cookie = ""; 1.a. webBrowser1.Document.Cookie = null; For both of these, webBrowser1.Document.Cookie was unaltered, it did not change. 2. Parse webBrowser1.Document.Cookie into a System.Web.HttpCookieCollection, then iterate through the cookie collection, setting cookie.Expires to a date prior to today. Then write these cookies back to webBrowser1.Document.Cookie. This resulted in webBrowser1.Document.Cookie having duplicate cookie items, but without expires. One idea may be to delete the cookies via the file system. Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103843

    - ClickOnce App Won't Start I've got a client with a computer on which no ClickOnce app will start when run with a URL command line. The OS is Win 2003 Server. If I try to run an app directly from the user's cache (<user dir>\Local Settings\Apps\2.0) it will work. My first thought was a permissions issue. So I added the URL to the 'Trusted Computers' list and upped the permissions for all apps on that list to Full Trust. Still no luck. No error message, nothing in the event logs, just nothing. I've tried uninstalling the apps as well - and I can't uninstall them. Nothing happens when I try. I've also uninstalled/reinstalled the .NET 2.0 runtime. Until recently, the machine had no problems running these apps. I've enabled CLR logging, but it doesn't appear to contain any useful info: -------------------------------------------------------------- CLR Loading log for C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe Log started at 4:15:06 PM on 8/15/2006 ----------------------------------- Host supplied values (usually set via CorBindToRuntime) ----------------------------------- ----------------------------------- Default version of the runtime on the machine: v2.0.50727 Decided on runtime: v2.0.50727 -------------------------------------------------------------- Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - MenuStrip not showing when form opens Hi, When I run my app, the MenuStrip at the top of the form does not show (actually it's transparent) until I move the form (drag it by at least 1 pixel). Is it a bug? Is there a solution to this behavior? I looked at the menu's events and the form's events, but nothing suspicious, so it must be from a property or a bug... There's no user pointing on the form except from 2 user controls that draw themselves and nothing else so I don't think they can be the source of the problem. So, a known bug? a solution?

    - ClickOnce updates and Data folder Hi, I am settings up my application to work with ClickOnce deployment. However, after instlling installing an update, the database doesn't get copied. I tried everything I could think of. It is a SQL Server Express database created in ClickOnce data folder (ApplicationDeployment.CurrentDeployment.DataDirectory). I use User Instances, that is, I connect directly to the database file. So, I install version 0.7.0.0, run it, it creates a new database, I add data to it. Then, I update to version 0.7.1.0. The database doesn't get copied so I loose my data. I made sure the database is detached before updating but it doesn't help. Any ideas? I'm clueless on this one. This is the database that *should* get copied: C:\Documents and Settings\Etienne\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\Data\W596OLLL.TL5\5YR6XOT1.HHP\form...app_dafda4b6e62d7a1b_0000.0000_422f5ed55aef8e45\Data\FormanaDB.mdf (and log file) Also, I create manifests manually using Mage tool because of Visual Studio limitations. btw, I can't find much on google about ClickOnce issues, anybody know of active ClickOnce forums or something?

    - Creating a Windows App version of a Web App I have a fully functional web app that I created in Visual Studio 2003. I've even managed to translate it to a functional working 2005 version. What are the best steps to creating a Windows based form version in a manner that I can preserve a lot of the routines that I have written? For example, I have a connection string in a WebConfig file that I refer to in my Data Access Layer. I didn't use the graphical objects to do this, I wrote most of the code and I would like to use this setup to take a lot of business logic along for the ride: For example, this routine fils a DataGrid on a Patient Screen with Lab results Public Shared Function GetLabs (ByVal lMRN as integer) as dataset Dim conMembers as SqlConnection = GetMembershipConnection() Dim strLabsSQL as string strLabSQL = "SELECT Proc_Name as [Lab Procedure], Comp_Name " _ & "as Component, Result " _ & "FROM tbl_Lab " _ & "WHERE MRN = @MRN " _ & "ORDER BY Result_Date desc" Dim cmdGetLab as new sqlCommand(strLabSQL, conMembers) cmdGetLab.CommandType = CommandType.text Dim daLab as New SqlDataAdapter daLab.SelectCommand = cmdGetLab Return dsLab End Function '============================= I know there are new graphical ways to do this, but to save time, I would like to use the types of tools I have already created, and not spend time trying to learn about a more simple redesign using the new graphical tools. Unless their is a simple way of illustrating how I could change the above sample. The majority of my tools are setup this way. We are trying to quickly migrate into a stand-alone desktop version which connects to a subscribed replicated SQL Express version. A replacement for my connection reference in WebConfig setup using the AppConfig tool would be very valuable. Thanks! Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103827

    - Context menus on TextBox and RichTextBox Hi, I am using a RichTextBox and I would like to have the standard context menu (RightClick menu) that the standard TextBox control has (i.e. if you use TextBox instead of RichTextBox, there is a standard context menu with Cut, Copy, Paste and few other selections right out of the box, you don't need to do anything). However, this is not available (at least not right out of the box) for the RichTextBox. I tried to find a property or a method to enable this but could not find anything - it looks like I need to implement the context menu. Not that it is a big deal, but all I need is exactly what's in the TextBox context menu, and I wonder if there is an easier way to enable it.

    - How to host CHM help viewer in an MDI child form? I am writing a Windows Forms application using VS.NET 2003 and C#. The application uses the Multi-Document Interface (MDI) style. Our customer education team requires that the application display context-sensitive help using the common CHM file format. We are currently using P/Invoke as follows to display the help file: [DllImport( "HHCtrl.ocx" )] public extern static int HtmlHelp( int hwnd, string pszFile, int cmd, int data ); protected const int HH_HELP_CONTEXT = 0x000F; virtual protected int DisplayHelp( int helpID, string fileName, string helpName ) { // Open the HelpViewer window. int res = HelpControlBase.HtmlHelp( 0, fileName, HH_HELP_CONTEXT, helpID ); return res; } This launches a new form in a child process. We now need to have the CHM help content be hosted in an MDI child form so that the child form can be managed like all of the other child forms. I have searched without success for information on how to do this. How can I display the CHM help content in an MDI child form? Is there a .NET solution for this?

    - TextBox OnKeyUp/Down, ProcessCmdKey acting up... a lot I'm writing a hotkey selection control, which inherits from a TextBox. It seemed to work fine for a while, but I ran into a huge bug today. The KeyCode/KeyData values are completely whack, I get the same results with KeyUp/KeyDown event handlers and overriding ProcessCmdKey(). Lets say I press "7" (not the numpad 7), and examine the KeyCode/KeyData values on the first line of ProcessCmdKey. I get this... keyData = LButton | RButton | MButton | ShiftKey | Space That's when I press and quickly release a single "7". Numpad 7 gives 0x67, looks sensible... The caret key, next to return (on a Swedish keyboard) gives: RButton | Back | ShiftKey | Space | F17 What the hell is going on? Anybody with a clue? Some keystrokes (such as most letters) work just fine. Thanks in advance /Thomas Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103820

    - Which is the sequence of events when using ShowDialog()? Hi all, I'm having troubles with a Symbol 9000 device (Compact Framework v 1.1) when activating the barcode scanner from a window. The problem is related to the Activated event of the form which carries the task of the initializing the scanner. It looks like this event is not called after the creation of one of the forms. Let me describe shortly the sequence of form creation. The app first call a browsing form by using ShowDialog(). This browsing form (modal dialog) calls a data input form that uses the scanner device using ShowDialog(). It works as expected. On the Activated event it captures the scanning device and on Deactivate releases it. This forms is also a modal dialog. From this data input I call a third data input form also by using ShowDialog(). Note it is the third on the "stack" of called modal dialogs. The Deactivate event is called for the second form and the scanner is released, but the Activated event is not called for this third form then the scanner is not activated. To get the Activated event called I should make a trick: The three modal dialogs are represented on the taskbar as buttons. I can click the button of the second form. It is displayed but is blocked for input. But in this click the Deactivate event is called for the third form and the Activated is called for the second. Then I click the button on the taskbar for the third form and voila! the Activated event is called for the first time for the third form, resulting in the scanner device being activated. I should note that the handlers for these events are registered in the Load event handler. The Load event handler is registered on InitializeComponent as normally it is created from the Visual Studio 2005. I fear the Activated event is called before the Load when the handler is not registered yet. What can be wrong? Which is the sequence of events when using ShowDialog()? Any hint is welcomed Thanks in advance Sammy Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103817

The problem was not related to Debug vs Release mode, order of form painting events, in process vs out of process COM servers, BeginUpdate()/EndUpdate, SuspendLayout()/ResumeLayout(), SuspendBinding()/ResumeBinding() or any other "usual suspect". It was purely a problem within the WinForms engine when it comes to painting forms. I proved this by creating a simple form and dragging about 20 controls onto it. Display this form via a COM interface and the painting speed is terrible (checked list boxes are particularly bad), run it by double clicking the EXE from within Windows Explorer and the painting speed was great. So what's the difference? It turns out that the problem is related to these 2 magic lines that VS2005 puts at the beginning of the Main method in every Windows Forms application: Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); You know, the 2 lines that you mentally tune out because they are always there and you never need to edit them and they run first before anything happens because Main is the entry point for your application... However, if you are allowing callers to display forms via a COM interface then you have multiple potential entry points to your assembly, and Main is actually unlikely to be the first method to run. For example, here is a COM interface in a test app I wrote: [ComVisible(true)] [Guid("33F6DDA9-0D4D-4276-AC8D-C66E315649F2")] [InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsIDispatch)] public interface IShowForms { void ShowForm(); } [Guid("3649EC0C-8F49-4844-B2F0-EF154E2D10AF")] [ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] [ProgId("COM.ShowForms")] [ComVisible(true)] public class ShowForms : IShowForms { public void ShowForm() { using (Forms.frm1 f = new Forms.frm1()) { f.ShowDialog(); } } } You can instantiate and run this from VBA using the following: Dim f As COM.IShowForms Set f = New COM.ShowForms f.ShowForm If you do this, then those magic 2 lines don't get called and the painting performance is pathetic. So to solve the slow painting problem we need to ensure those 2 lines are run (the WinForms engine also requires that the 2 lines are run before any forms are displayed and that they are only called once). My quick and dirty solution is to add a static variable and method to the Program class: private static bool m_VisualStylesHaveBeenSet; public static void SetVisualStyles() { if (!m_VisualStylesHaveBeenSet) { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); m_VisualStylesHaveBeenSet = true; } } Then adjust Main to call this method, and ensure that the constructor of every class which is exposed via COM also calls it: static void Main() { SetReferenceToConfigFile(); SetVisualStyles(); Application.Run(new frmMain()); } public ShowForms() { Program.SetVisualStyles(); } This is a tolerable solution at the moment because I only have about 5 COM-exposed classes, but a better solution might be to try and call it when the assembly is loaded. By the way, it's actually the call to EnableVisualStyles() which is the one which gives the performance boost, the other line doesn't seem to make any difference. I have had a look at the code for the EnableVisualStyles() method in Reflector, and it doesn't seem to do much so the reason for the poor performance is still unknown to me. I suspect it is hidden deep in the WinForms engine, and may be operating system related (I am on XP Pro SP2). Happy interopping! -- Phil Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103813

    - delay in drawing controls during loading of form Hi, I have a form (C#) which has multiple controls on it (picturebox, tab controls, etc). When the form begins to draw on its initial load, the background is drawn with all the controls being transparent. Then each of the controls seem to be drawn one after another. Is it possible to make it that the form (and all the controls) draws at once. Kinda like DoubleBuffering if I was doing a OnPaint. Thanks Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103794

    - Customizing the WebBrowser control I am embeding the WebBrowser in my application to show reports. I would like to embed the graphics and the CSS files in a resource. To do this I need to "hook" the WebBrowser control so that when it goes looking for these files, I can give it the files from the resource. Any thoughts on how to do this? It does NOT look possible, at the moment. Sam Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103785

    - TopMost - affects realtime? Suppose I have a form that loads with TopMost = True. If I change the form to TopMost = False will it immediately affect the form -- in other words is TopMost dynamic? The reason I ask is that I want to disable TopMost when I'm displaying a Msgbox (otherwise the message box appears behind my form). Rob. Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103784

    - WebbrowserControl: Position of images in frame/iframe Hi All, I have a web browse control hosted in a windows form. I want to calculate the coordinates of all the images present in the web page displayed in the webbrowser. I am adding all the documents(main document and the iframe/frame documents) in a HTMLDocument list on the NavigateComplete2Event. I am using GetClientRects() to find the coordiantes. >From these documents I am able to get the correct image position if it is the main browser document( i.e. when browserControl.Document.url = documentFromList.url), but for other documents, it gives the displaced image coordinates. The image, top-left coordinate returned for such documents is usually wrt (0,0).However, they return correct anchor coordinates. Is there any other approach by which I can get the correct coordinates for the images in iframe/frames? Thanks, Nupur Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103781

    - ListView sort only sorts on paint? Has anyone notices this behavior? I have a composite control that contains a listview. I've created my own listviewsorter class that works just fine. As items get added (in this case - a very small #, less than 40), I repaint all items background to white, sort, and perform a colorization. The code was supposed to colorize some things in an alternating pattern, but i noticed sometimes it wasn't alternating. What I found was although my colorization colored the correct items - the sort wasn't happening until the parent that housed the composite control got redrawn!!! I tried a Refresh, an Update, a ResumeLayout, RedrawItems, etc. Nothing got this to work with the listview. I did code around it myself with a sortedList, but I find it odd that when I call ListView.Sort it just seems to queue up the sort for the next paint operation. Am I mistaken? Does anyone know how this really works? Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103780

    - DataGridView CellValueChanged event not firing I have a DataGridView that is bound to a list of objects through it's datasource property. If a cell in the grid is changed by editing directly in the cell I get a CellValueChanged event. If the value is changed in the underlying object that causes the cell in the grid to get changed then the CellValueChanged event does not occur. Does anyone know of a way to detect a cell value changing for both cases? I would like to detect the value change without leaving the row since I am trying to give immediate visual feedback regarding the validity of the data being entered and don't want the user to have to leave the row to find out if data in a cell is valid.

    - Question about SizeDataGridColumnToContent function... Using C# string xmlfile = "appsettings.xml"; DataSet ds_login = new DataSet(); ds_login.ReadXml(xmlfile); dgConnection.DataSource = ds_login; dgConnection.DataMember = "Connection"; SizeDataGridColumnsToContent(dgConnection, 1); The function works the way it is suppose to for every other datagrid I have. But for the one bound to the dataset with the XML I get an extra column added. the column is Connections_Id where Connections is an element name... The column DOES NOT show up if I don't use the SizeDataGridColumnsToContent function. here is the function: public void SizeDataGridColumnsToContent(DataGrid dataGrid, int nRowsToScan) { //first check to make sure the DataGrid has a valid datasource if (dataGrid.DataSource == null) { //it does not return; } // Create graphics object for measuring widths.

    - Select a row of a DataGridView control with a certain column value Hi all out there, how can I select a row of a DataGridView control with a certain column value? What I need is something like a "RowDataBound" event, but I did not found this functionality in the DataGridView control. Background: I've got a DataGridView connected to a BindingSource. The User changes the sorting and then selects a row and hits the Edit button. Another form opens in which the user edits the detail data. If the detail form is closed, the data of the first form should be updated and then the originally selected row should be again selected (more exactly: the row with a certain value in a column, lets say where id=27).

    - DSOFramer and .NET Menus Apologies for the cross-posting - not sure where best to post...... Okay, this might be a shot in the dark since there are very few (positive) postings regarding the DSOFramer control but I'll give it a shot posting my problem anyway.... I'm trying to use the DSOFramer in a Visual Studio 2005 Windows Forms project (using C#). The configuration is simple. Using the standard tools provided with Visual Studio I have a main menu at the top with a toolbar just under it. A status bar is docked to the bottom and in the middle docked "fill" is the DSOFramer control. I am loading an Excel spreadsheet into the DSOFramer control. Here's the problem: 1. Click the "File" menu item from the main menu in the Windows Form (not the File menu in exposed by Excel). 2. Leave the menu in the expanded, dropped-down state. 3. Click anywhere on the Excel spreadsheet in the DSOFramer control. 4. The menu DOES NOT collapse. I have tried a number of combinations: .NET 1.1, third-party menu controls. Nothing works. The only control combination that does work is using Visual Studio 2003 and using the standard MainMenu control provided by Visual Studio. This seems to work okay HOWEVER, this control is very bland (does not allow for command icons) and is not useful for my project. In order to debug the problem I have also tried the following: 1. Capture EVERY event exposed by the DSOFramer control. No events are fired (such as Leave and Enter) when I click on and off of the hosted spreadsheet. 2. Ran the program using Spy to see what Windows messages were being sent. It appears WM_NOTIFYPARENT is sent but apparently .NET 2.0 ignores it (as does .NET 1.1). I'm no expert on Windows messages so perhaps I'm missing something rather than .NET! Any and all help is much appreciated. Tag: NumericUpDown select contents Tag: 103753

I am having a hard time trying to select thet contents of a NumericUpDown
control when it gets focus. When the control gets focus I want all the
contents to be selected so that the user would per default overwrite it when
she enters data.

Basically I overrode OnEnter and did this.Select(0,
this.Value.ToString().Length); (seems a bit cumbersome, but I haven't found a
better way of doing it). Nothing happens.
MSDN documentation states NumericUpDown should have a Text property, I can't
see that it does. It does not have a Selection property either, so if I
needed the actual selected numbers I don't see how I would get that.

When you TAB into the control the contents is selected (as I want it) so I
know this must be possible to do when I select it with the mouse also.

Thanks.

Actually, while debugging I could see that the control has a Text property,
but it does not recognize this in Visual Studio (2005).. Anybody know why?

Found 2 different solutions here:
http://blog.markarteaga.com/CommentView,guid,85271d7d-14a1-41dd-8469-d230a4e609cf.aspx
The one using the timer seems like the cleanest solution, although I don't
quite understand why it works. Anyone?
