    - PropertyGrid and ErrorProvider Has anyone ever used the propertygrid in conjunction with the error provider? My app uses the errorprovider extensively in other areas of the app, including bound grids, and I'd like to keep the same look and feel for areas that use the property browser. Is this feasible? Thanx! WNC Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70620

    - IDE design problems??? Is there any way to make the forms designer work? A simple but complicated problem. I am designing a "grid" type user control. It is composed of panels (as a column) with a label (header) at the top, a control (to be used as a "cell") and there is to be a splitter between each column. I know that each panel and splitter must be docked left. So I add a panel, make the dock left , so far ok. Now add a splitter. It goes to the extreme left. Why??? Ok I will try it in reverse. Same result. Why?? Ok I send the panel to the back and we are in business. Add panel, add splitter and away we go. Now I need to add a new column (panel). How can I add this in the middle of existing controls??? I have been trying this for several hours and no luck ( should not have to rely on luck should I). I have looked at the generated code for a clue but no such luck (there is that word again). Any ideas or a designer that will accomplish this?? Lloyd Sheen Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70598

    - Detecting Internet Connection I'm facing a problem where I need to verify that my windows forms application has access to the internet before it can do anything. Currently, the only way I can think of is by creating a HttpWebRequest and point it to the specified URL I wish to connect to later on, and if that throws an error, I know I don't have an internet connection. Is this the best method for detecting an internet connection, or is there some sort of routine that I need to follow that is more tuned for performance? Thanks for your help!

    - Splitter Class Heya I am having trouble using a Splitter to divide a Frame horizontally. For some reason the top panel automatically fills the entire Frame area, while the splitter lets me move the bottom panel up over the top panel. What I expect to occur is to have both panels resize to fit the available space when I adjust the Splitter. I attempted to implement this code myself only to have very weird behavior (which mostlikely had to do with the order the events were firing). Here's the layout for the frame this.splitter1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Bottom this.splitter1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 246) this.splitter1.Name = "splitter1" this.splitter1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(736, 3) this.splitter1.TabIndex = 2 this.splitter1.TabStop = false this.splitter1.SplitterMoved += new System.Windows.Forms.SplitterEventHandler(this.splitter1_SplitterMoved) this.dgOrders.DataMember = "" this.dgOrders.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill this.dgOrders.HeaderForeColor = System.Drawing.SystemColors.ControlText this.dgOrders.ImeMode = System.Windows.Forms.ImeMode.NoControl this.dgOrders.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 58) this.dgOrders.Name = "dgOrders" this.dgOrders.ReadOnly = true this.dgOrders.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(736, 343) this.dgOrders.TabIndex = 0 this.dgOrders.TableStyles.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridTableStyle[] {this.dataGridTableStyle1}) this.axWebBrowser.ContainingControl = this this.axWebBrowser.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill this.axWebBrowser.Enabled = true this.axWebBrowser.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0) this.axWebBrowser.OcxState = ((System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State)(resources.GetObject("axWebBrowser.OcxState"))) this.axWebBrowser.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(736, 152) this.axWebBrowser.TabIndex = 2 I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me. ~~K Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70596

    - Transparancy I have a picturebox on my form, and I need to put other controls (like a panel) over the picture box, but I need the graphic to show through the panel and other controls. From my searching, I believe I have learned that this is due to a limitation / bug as controls do not allow other controls to show through. I have heard (read) that some people have overcome this though - how can I do this? Vb.Net examples / sites would be preferred. I'm okay with creating my own version of the panel control with some overrides, but I am not sure what needs to be done for 'true' transparency. Thanks for the input, Wayne P.

    - RichTextBox and Tables Hi, I have problems with the Windows.Forms.RichtextBox Control of the VS. I have a text that is written with WordPad. In this text there are tables. The cells in the tables are holding multiple lines. When I copy & paste the whole text, including the table, the table does not show up properly in the richtextbox control. The cells are only single line. The text in the cells does not wrap. The text in the cells actually leaves the cell. I created two screenshot to ilustrate the problem: Good Table in WordPad: http://www.coredumped.de/pics/rtf-good.jpg and here the table after copy and paste in the richtextboxcontrol: http://www.coredumped.de/pics/rtf-bad.jpg Is this a bug or intention that the richtextbox cant render tables properly? I realy need the feature of tables. Is there a fix for it? Thx RV Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70572

    - Adding controls to a panel in a UserControl? I'm developing a UserControl that has 2 panels - one docked top and the other fill. I want to be able (at design time) to drop controls on the panel docked to fill, but when I do so, the newly added control is added to the base UserControl's control collection and not the "fill" panel. Intercepting the OnControlAdded event and changing the parent of the new control just gives me an error message "'child' is not a child of this parent". Bringing the new control to the front doesn't work either as it's still parented by the base control and is "painted over" at runtime by the fill panel. I thought this was an easy one, but I've spent a couple of days (and nights) on it. Any help at all is really appreciated Thanks in advance. Tim Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70551

    - No-Touch deployment - IEExec - Duplicate Entries in Assembly Cache - Strongly Typed Datasets - InvalidCastException I've been struggling with a problem using No-Touch Deployment for 10 days now. Searching the newsgroups, I can see that people have been experiencing parts of the problem, but I haven't seen any posts about my particular circumstances. I have a client/server database application. Both Client & Server are running .NET Framework 1.1.4322. The client is a VB.NET winform application. On the server, I run a VB.NET Web Service that accesses a MS ACCESS database and returns Strongly Typed Datasets (STD). The Web Service uses the SOAP serializer to convert the STDs into XML (Marshal By Object) and my VB client app converts the returned SOAP messages back from XML to STD objects. So far, so good. My client/server application works perfectly and is humming along until one day my boss suggests that wouldn't it be good if we distributed the client application using No-Touch Deployment. I place the client app on the server and run it from within Internet Explorer. I start getting Exceptions when I run the client app: "System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid". The exceptions happen only with Web Service methods that return Strongly Typed Datasets (Web Service methods that return untyped Datasets or other types of data work fine). Every now and again, I compile a version of my client app that works. If I recompile again with no changes, the new version doesn't work. A version of myClientApp.exe that works once, always works. A version that doesn't work, I can usually eventually get working eventually by emptying various caches, restarting the server, etc. Once I get the .exe working once, it continues to work. I conclude that it's not my code that is the problem, but something about the assembly & versioning. Following various suggestions on newsgroups: (1) I set the version number manually in AssemblyInfo.vb so it is not automatically incremented with each compile <Assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.0.1.2")> (2) I set the http channel in the Web Service to make sure the SOAP serialization is on: <channel ref="http"> <serverProviders> <provider ref="wsdl" /> <formatter ref="soap" typeFilterLevel="Full" /> <formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel="Full" /> </serverProviders> <clientProviders> <formatter ref="binary" /> </clientProviders> </channel> (3) Whenever I test the application, I clear out both the download assembly cache (with gacutil /cdl) and IE's browser cache. I also reset IIS from time to time. NOW HERE'S THE WEIRD PART. By studying IIS's log, I see that whenever I launch the app using No Touch Deployment, I see that IEExec is making over 20 GET requests of the server. Even though my http request is for myClientApp.exe, IEExec also tries to get myClientApp.exe.config, myClientApp.DLL, myClientApp.resources.DLL, etc. Most of these time out with 404 errors (no wonder it takes so long to launch), but TWO GET requests actually succeed: "myClientApp.exe" and "myClientApp.EXE" (spelled the same but with different case sensitivity). Checking the Global Assembly Cache with gacutil /ldl, I see that there are that two copies identical copies of the assembly (same name & version#). More useful is the IE InvalidExceptionError Window which also shows that there are two copies of myClientApp assembly except one has the lower case extension .exe and the other has the has the upper case .EXE extension. In this newsgroup, I found that it was documented that IEexec (used by No-Touch Deployment) has a side-effect of loading two copies of your assembly: Subject: Assemblies deployed with IE are downloaded multiple times ? http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=OQT8XxHdCHA.1864%40tkmsftngp11&rnum=4&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dduplicate%2Bdownload%2Bassembly%2Bcache%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3DOQT8XxHdCHA.1864%2540tkmsftngp11%26rnum%3D4 RE: No Touch Deployment. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=eNKAMy9lDHA.2416%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DMats-Erik%2BGrundh%2B(nospam%2540co.se)%2B%2BXin%2BHuang%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3DeNKAMy9lDHA.2416%2540TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl%26rnum%3D2 For some reason, the fact that there are two versions of the assembly (even though they are identical except the case-sensitivity of the .EXE extension) seems to create a type-mismatch when client application tries to deserialize the Strongly Typed Dataset in the SOAP message. Does anyone have any suggestions or idea of what is going on? Thanks in advance, Paul Linhardt Paul_Linhardt@Lans mont.com <- remove space Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70543

However, when I run the app and click the button to open the 2nd form with the report on it, only the labels appear on the report; no data fields Q. I've already got the data on the first form.

    - Write XML data to SQL Hi all, I am not sure if this is the right forum for this message but here goes, I have some XML date(at present I have it held within a string and saved to a file on my local file system using the streamwriter object) I have an XSD that defines the relationship between the data in the xml file and tables in my SQL server (i know this works becuase I have used this using SQLXMLBULKLOADLib3.0) I need a .NET way (NOT USING ANY 3rd PARTY COMPONENTS) to get the XML data into SQL Server? Can anyone help? I don't really care about the type of solution so longs as it is pure .NET and no external references.

    - Losing icons from .resx file I'm losing icons from a .resx file, and I'm not sure why. I'm adding the icons using ResEditor (the resource editor that ships unbuilt with VS.Net). I add the icons, save the .resx file, and all seems well. If I reopen the .resx file, the icons are there, just as expected. But after a couple of compiles, the icons are gone. It I reopen the .resx file, they are no longer there. My code doesn't do anything with the .resx files-- it just reads the resources: System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(this.GetType()); this.Icon = (System.Drawing.Icon)resources.GetObject("Folder.Icon"); I'm using EnableVisualStyles() in the Main() method, like this: // Enable XP visual style Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.DoEvents(); // Start the application Application.Run(new FormMain()); Can anyone shed any light as to what's going on? Thanks -- Dave Veeneman Foresight Systems Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70513

    - .NET Framework form creation/swap-space problem? Hi all, I have a really odd problem with some Visual Basic .NET 2003 code; I have a program that creates a number of windows which contain RichTextBox, Timers (disabled) and menus. The code runs fine and creates the windows as required, BUT if the program is left to do nothing for several hours, when it is brought back into focus it generates an exception error (Object reference not set to instance of an object - this always coincides with a LOT of disk activity) when it tries to access a window handle. The really odd thing is, if the excepton is trapped with a breakpoint, examining the values it's trying to manipulate (and which presumably causes the exception) reveals nothing wrong. The code is: Dim NewForm As New Form2 Dim MyWindowHandle as System.IntPtr NewForm.Show() Try MyWindowHandle = NewForm.Handle ' this occassionally goes "bang" Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Exception") ' by this point, NewForm.Handle has a valid handle in it. End Try If I put a breakpoint on the MsgBox line, when the code generates an exception, NewForm.Handle has a valid value; I can see absolutely no reason why this code causes an exception. The NewForm.Show() works without a problem. I wondered if my code was hitting some resource-limit in XP (like the limit on the number of window handles that existed in Windows 3.1) so I tried running my "create window" code 1,000 times via a loop, and it worked fine. In general ("real") use, the code doesn't get called more than about 30 times. The code is far more likely to crash if it's run in Debug mode via VS itself; if it's compiled in Release mode and run outside of VS, the crashes are less frequent. My theory is that if the program is left doing nothing for several hours, XP or .NET swaps the code to disk and when the program's brought back into focus, it's retrieved from disk but (I'm guessing here) the code starts executing _before_ all the bits and pieces are restored to RAM, hence the exception. By the time the breakpoint is activated, everything's in place and that's why my VS 'watches' on the variables show nothing amiss. If my theory is correct, is there some way a program can test whether it (and its objects) are all present and correct before accessing things like window handles? A couple of other programs I've written also exhibit this problem. Since things like MS Word and Excel don't go horribly wrong when brought into focus, surely there's something Microsoft & others are doing that I'm not (like not writing programs that use the .NET Framework, I suppose ;-) ). Changing the code to look like the following seemed to confirm my theory: Dim NewForm As New Form2 Dim MyWindowHandle as System.IntPtr NewForm.Show() Try MyWindowHandle = NewForm.Handle ' this occassionally goes "bang" Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Exception") ' This gets called fairly often Thread.Sleep(10000) ' sleep 10 seconds Try MyWindowHandle = NewForm.Handle Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Exception #2") 'This rarely gets called End Try End Try The first "MyWindowHandle = NewForm.Handle" crashes more than the 2nd one, yet they are both the same thing. My PC is running Windows XP Home Edition SP1 with all the latest fixes, I'm using Visual Studio 2003 Standard Edition, with the latest patch (the 75MB one released last year to apply "documentation updates" (75 megabytes of them??)). I'm running Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. My PC has 512MB RAM and an Intel P4 (non-HT) 3.06Ghz CPU. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions, Fiona. Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70511

    - Form Loading very slow Hi All I have a Winforms App writing in vb.net IT has a Main MDI Form called frmMain. When ever I create a new object of an existing form and then show it , it takes a long time to render when a child form creates another form object. All I?m doing is calling the form object's show or showDialog methods. This looks very ugly and unprofessional. As a result I?ve had to develop a 'pre' buffer for the forms on startup with a loading sequence as the next time they are called they show instantly. eg. Public Sub PreLoadForms() Dim objFrmClient As New FrmClient Dim objFrmCompany As New FrmCompany ... ... objFrmClient = Nothing objFrmCompany = Nothing End Sub Does any one know why it takes so long to render a form if it?s called from a child form? And is this the most efficient work around? -------------------------------- From: craig rose ----------------------- Posted by a user from .NET 247 (http://www.dotnet247.com/) <Id>VQf3jwChN0uCXDzryzEdkw==</Id> Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70508

    - Need help with a Virtual ListView I have a need for a virtual ListView control in C# -- one that allows very large numbers of entries in it, without a linearly increasing penalty for adding more items. I found a suitable example at http://www.windowsforms.com/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx?Control=214&tabindex=9 It has come in extremely handy for one of my C# projects. One of the problems I am facing is that I am unable to draw an image in the first (or any other) column. I can set the text (in any column) just fine. But I have been unable to set an image, despite implementing the QueryItemImage callback, in which I set the image index to 0. A blank image is displayed. Image lists (small, large, and state) are all set. Any ideas on how one might get around this, or if there are any workarounds/hints for this? All feedback is most appreciated. - SK Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70502

    - Problem in Zero Deployement Hello Folks, I am trying to develop a Proof Of Concept for a Zero Deployment Created a simple winform. Created a simple WebService. Call a method from WebService on a button click and display results in the TextBoxx So far so good, Everything works as expected but when I try to deploy it over the web I am gettingh the following error. An Exception 'System.IO.FileLoadException' has occured in IEExec.exe This error happens first time when I click on the Exe(http://servername/appdir/appname.exe) It asks me if I would like to debug I decline and next time I try to load the application works fine. This happens also when I try the same on my local machine(I got everything on the same box). And goes away when I try for the second time. It happens after everytimg I compile the application. I have a work around as I explained but I would like find out from the Great Minds what is causing this error. I see Michael Moor from MS answered to similar question but a differnet context so not very relevant. Any answer will be appreciated. Thx Sridhar Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70485

    - Listview Item.Selected not populating Listview.SelectedItems collection Hi, I'm having some trouble getting the Listview.Items[0].Selected = true to populate the SelectedItems collection. The code that I'm using is: CtrlTransferSettings tester = CtrlTransferSettings() if (pos < tester.lstStrings.Items.Count) { tester.lstStrings.Focus(); tester.lstStrings.Items[0].Selected = true; tester.lstStrings.Select(); } What's happening is that the SelectedItems.Count is staying at 0, even after setting Items[0].Selected to true. While in debug mode, if I go look at the "Autos" listing and drill-down to the lstStrings.SelectedItems.Count property it updates itself and then lists the count as 1 and everything works correctly. But, it will only update if I drill down the 'autos list' in debug-mode. If I just run the code, the count always stays at 0. Is this a bug in the ListView control? Or am I missing a step? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Chris AdamsReply: Remove the online. from the email address before replying Tag: Special Folders Tag: 70483

I need to examine the programs listed in the user's start menu.
Normally this folder would be c:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Start
Menu
But I need to determine for sure where it is on the user's machine. I
haven't found a .NET way to find any special folders. This seems like quite
an oversight unless I'm missing something.
Also, do I need to combine the results with the All Users start menu to get
a complete list of the programs a user sees when they go to Start-->All
Programs?

I can answer the first part of your question. The .Net way is to use the
Environment.GetFolderPath method to get special folder locations.
