    - Speed issue loading image Hi I am using below statement to load an image; Me.MyPictureBox.Image = Image.FromFile(CStr(Me.txtMyPhotoPath.Value)) Problem is it is taking too long and slowing the app down. Is there another faster way to achieve this? or to degrade the quality of image on the fly to have to load smaller version of image for example? Thanks Regards Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117143

    - WinForm app speed issue Hi I have a multi-form winform database application. The client keeps complaining that application runs too slow 50% of the time. The problem seems to be in two areas; a) app is slow maximising after a prolonged period of being minimised. b) when user clicks on a toolbar to select one of the several already open forms. This seems to suggest that there is nothing wrong with application per se as application works fine 50% and also maximising app or moving from one open form to another open form does not do anything special code wise. Also as other non .net apps run just fine on the same pcs, this can't be due to spec of pcs. I have also ngen'd the app using command line 'ngen install myapp.exe'. I am therefore wondering what can be causing this slow response and would appreciate any help in ironing out this speed issue. Many Thanks Regards Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117135

    - Visual Studio 2008 c# app to drag email to a form.. not quite work I have this windows form app.. where i have a text box and from outlook i want to be able to drag and drop from outlook to the form and basically copy to this text box the subject and body text... I thought i almost had this figured out.. here is the code near the end that tries to "find" the outlook (2007) window and find the mail item data: Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application outlook; //outlook = (Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.GetObject("", "Outlook.Application")) as Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application; try { //try to create comm component with vb interaction outlook = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application)Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.GetObject("", "Outlook.Application"); } catch (System.Exception ex) { throw new ApplicationException("error" + ex); } //get the active one Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Explorer explorer = outlook.ActiveExplorer(); Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem mail = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.MailItem)explorer.Selection[0]; //if (mail.Subject = maildata("Betreff").ToString()) //{ return mail; It gets stuck on the line outlook = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.Application)Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.GetObject("", "Outlook.Application"); It will either sit there forever or if i actually put a break on the catch, i am shown "cannot create activex component" as an error... I'm not sure how else to go about this.. any thoughts? Thanks Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117134

    - Anchor/dock problems I'm using a DevExpress XtraGrid V. 7.3.5.0 and have posted on their forums as well. I've built an application that has gone through testing, user training and was deployed to production yesterday. On all the machines everything worked as expected. However, there is one machine in the production environment that doesn't quite work properly. Functionality is there, but the grids don't anchor properly to fill the form. The form uses a SplitContainer, docked to Fill, and the grids are on the panels. I'm not using the Dock properties for the grids, I've set the Anchor properties. As I said, it's only one machine. Thoughts? See attached image. <a href="http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/DevonS76/junk/?action=view&current=scr.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b378/DevonS76/junk/scr.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117133

    - Prevent a resx file from using the solution path as it's namespace? I have many Views in my application and I've setup my solution structure like so: View Data Entry ViewA ViewB ViewC Scanning ViewD ViewE .. etc Although I have created my folder structure like the above, I create all new items in the root folder View, then I drag them into the correct folder. This is to prevent Visual Studio from assigning the default Namespace of <Root namespace>Views.DataEntry.ViewA I don't want namespaces that granular, I just use the folders for visual organization of my project. Now, the problem I'm having is that I recently added a resx file for one of my Views to store my strings and teh "designer.cs" file has the entire project-folder-namespace. OK, so I edit the file and change the names space from <Root namespace>Views.DataEntry.ViewA to <Root namespace>Views - no luck, as soon as I edit the resource file and save it resets the namespace. This is very, very, very annoying. Does anyone know of any tricks to deal with such a scenario? I don't want to have my views all broken up in logical folders that have a pile of resx file in the root of "View". Any tricks very appreciated! -Steve Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117126

    - Problem with the filtering of a property grid Hello. I created a designer in c#. Everything is working excepted the property grid. I want to show only the properties I added. So I created a class which inherits of a button. And I added properties. But I want to filter the base properties. So to do this, I inherit my class from ICustomTypeDescriptor. In the function getProperties, I filter. And I can show only my properties. But on my host designer, the text of my button and the position disappeared. I mean when I add my custom button without filtering. I see it normal. And if I filter, the text and position are removed. So it appears in the left corner and I can't move it. How can I fix the problem? Thank you. Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117117

    - Design Patterns (Model View Presenter etc) Hi Im researching methods and design-patterns to separate UI's from logic and model for the software Im developing at work (pretty generic UI's bound to a datamodel etc). I have been working with dotnet for quite some time now (~5yrs) but have never tried out any of these design patterns (MVC, MVP or ...) so its quite new to me. If I separate the UI from the rest and make the UI know about "the rest" but not the other way around. Is that a bad idea? To simple? My view of the MVP-pattern is that it allows a sort of mediator (Presenter) to maintain (get/set) the state of the View, listen to events delegated by the view with void-no-params-metods and also do the appropriate modifications to the model. Is that a correct view or have I missed the point? How does these patterns exactly fit in the dotnet winform-model with databindings etc? I can't use databindings with a MVP-pattern can I? One other thing I'm struggling with is if I should loose winform and focus on WPF instead. I have been looking on WPF for a couple of days but its seems to be so much new... phew ... at the same time a want to learn ... and then there are the (D)M-V-VM patterns for WPF ... and the MV-Poo pattern I dont know what my question is here exactly ... guidance? enlightenment? WinForm or WPF for ui-modularisation?, recommended design-pattern?, is there any _simple_ example-projects for the different kinds of DP:s and the differences between them, pros/cons over regular programming... ?

    - Add-in Image question In this line (connect.vb, after creating an add-in through the built in VS.Net Add-in template), Look at the '59' : toolsMenuName = "Tools" CommandObj = _applicationObject.Commands.AddNamedCommand(objAddin, "My_Add-In", "My_Add-In", "Executes my stuff", True, 59, Nothing, 1 + 2) CommandObj.AddControl(toolsMenuName) That number adds the 'smiley face' icon for the Add-in entry in the Tools menu, when the Add-in is used. If you change that, to another number, another icon will appear. Where can I find a list of the different icons that can be used here (what numbers use what icon image)?

    - Urgent help needed with ClickOnce Deployment I have been using ClickOnce deployment with my app for over a week now and everything was going fine. This weekend I changed my development machine from windows vista to windows 2003 server. Now when I go to publish my app, the checkbox "Sign the ClickOnce manifests" is checked. I don't want to sign it. I didn't have to before. In fact I just looked at my laptop which is running vista and I checked a copy of the code from a day ago and the check box isn't checked. It has only happened since I moved the code to Windows 2003 server. What can I do? Bill Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117102

    - Keyboard Hooking including Unicode I have been experimenting with sample code recommended by some folks on MSDN for globally hooking the Keyboard in C#. The sample is by Michael Kennedy and it's a System Hook class library. Anyway, his class does the job of allowing me to receive Key-Down and Key-Up events globally (as well as mouse stuff that I'm not really interested in right now). But it doesn't give me what I really need. What I'm really looking for is a C# class that will allow me to globally handle events where I am passed the Keyboard "Text Input" as opposed to the keyboard keys that are pressed. What I mean is that if the user had pressed a lower-case "d" or an uppoer-case "D", I'd like to receive it that way... but far more complicated than that, if they had pressed a key in a different language kayboard, I'd like to receive that character in unicode. In other words, I want to receive the TEXT character pressed or sent to the event queue as opposed to receiving the hardware KEY pressed. Any help - or especially code I could... "borrow"... would be *much* appreciated! Alex Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117098

    - ValidateChildren not envoking validation on controls with CausesValidation set to false From my lengthy and painful debugging experiment it seems that UserControl.ValidateChildren() will not envoke validation of child controls where their CausesValidation property is false. I have a rather complex hierarchy starting with a MS CAB SmartPart view placed on an Infragistics UltraTabPageControl tab, which contains a group box, a flow panel and finally some UltraComboEditors. When the ValidateChildren method is run on the view (which inherits from UserControl), it seems to validate only controls which themselves cause validation. I implement Validating() event handlers accross the whole hierarchy, set all CausesValidation to false except the bottom level of combos where I play with various combinations to see the validation being triggered. This dependency seems so odd, because 1 - wasn't ValidateChildren ment exactly a mechanism independent on (alternative to) auto validation controlled by CausesValidation property. 2 - CausesValidation is supposed to control behaviour of other controls, not itself. Am I right about my observation of this schizophrenic character of CausesValidation, is it something particular to the Infragistics controls library, or is something wrong in my test case? Any comments appreciated. Pavel Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117074

    - DataGridView, DataGridViewComboBoxColumn problems Hi, I've been looking at this for a while now and I have tried 4 or 5 different options and I can't quite get this to work. Requirements I have a DataGridView setup in virtual mode and I want a Combobox column in DropDownCombo style (i.e so you can type a new value in that doesn't exist in the dropdown). If the user types something into the editable portion that doesn't exist in the dropdown I need to perform a search that may find a matching item that I want added to the dropdown, this value should then be selected and pushed back to the datastore. Ideally I'd like to implement an iTunes style fuzzy matching algo as well (perhaps filter the contents of the dropdown but I'd like to get the simple option working first Problem I'm hitting issues with the validation, I've tried several points to hook into the chain of events but none seem early enough to prevent a DataError being thrown because the value I entered isn't in the dropdown Any thoughts on the best way to approach this problem?

    - Missing Images while printing in vb.net Hi Toall , I want to explain you clearly , I am having some panels having some controls CheckBox,ComboBox,Datagridview,Hyperlink,label,Listbox,Picturebox,RadioButt= =AD on ,Textbox) &(Oval,Line,Rectangle ). with .BorderStyle =3D BorderStyle.FixedSingle . All these things are generating at runtime using some buttons . I am taking them in to bitmaps and then printing using ACROBAT DISTILLER printer. I am printing each Bitmap on a new page taking e.MarginBounds of PrintPage event using e.Graphics.DrawImage () . I took each control on a single panel. Then i take the panel into bitmap using control.drawtobitmap() .And then I print the things . Suppose if the panel is having Circle or line or ComboBox or Checkbox or DataGridView or URL or ListBox or RadioButton ,it is showing the borders . Suppose if it is having picturebox or rectangle or Textbox missing the borders . or if the panel is not having controls then it is missing the borders while printing . It is showing the borders in printpreview everytime(I have to zoom to look at these things ) but while printing ,sometimes, it is printing with borders ,sometimes it is missing the borders. If it is the last page to print it is missing last 3-4 lines (Missing the image part at bottom ). Suppose, i am having 2 bitmaps having the samesize and controls ,then in 1st page it is printing with controls & borders exactly correct .But while coming to last page, it is missing bottom 3-4 lines which makes the printing incorrect . So any help about this to make the printing correct exactly. Thanks & Regards , Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117071

This works perfect except one problem: If i configure windows to use an english keyboard the call SendKeys.Send("{^}") results in a "^". BUT when my computer is running with an german keyboard, the call SendKeys.Send("{^}") results in a "&". MSDN says: If your application is intended for international use with a variety of keyboards, the use of Send could yield unpredictable results and should be avoided. Okay that sounds bad, the strange thing is that every other keystroke (or text) is working fine, excepts the "^" character. Berni Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117054

    - c# stop user changing tab on tab control stops events All, I am trying to stop users changing tab pages on a tab control if the tab page has not been validated. This I can do by adding a tab control selected index change event handler and a tab page validating event handler. http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/winforms/FAQ_c93c.aspx#q958q However, once validation has failed, no other events are thrown by controls on the same tab page until the tab page has lost and then regained focus.

I would have thought it would have just looked back to when it did it last and added on the new bit .

    - Winform to stay on top of a game window I participate in a MMORPG using OpenGL. In conjunction with this, I use a third-party application written in .NET 2.0 that collects data from the MMORPG to help in analyzing my progress etc. I help a bit with the development and maintenance of this window, and have volunteered to TRY to figure out a solution to the following problem. However I am kinda stuck. This 3rd party app includes a form that stays on top of the game to show various in-game data. This works fine under Windows XP, but when using Vista, this "in-game window" does not redraw. Except if the game is running in Windowed mode. When running the game in full-screen under Vista, the in-game window is not drawn. It IS on top, I can move the mouse over the area where the window is, and the cursor will change. If I click it, it will become active and visible. But once the game regains focus, the in- game window is once again "invisible". This must obviously have something to do with the way Vista handles OpenGL, but what can be done to keep the in-game window visible when running the game in full-screen? The form has the TopMost property set to true, and as mentioned it seems to BE on top, just "invisible". Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117033

    - Hooking into DataSet Auto Generated Code I have an application that I am trying to use auto generated code as much as possible. It makes writing the application so much easier. I have created a DataSet based on an SQL database connection. VS2008 generated the dataset class and code. I need to insert some logic in the UpdateAll method just before the workConnection.Commit() statement. I will be using the allAddedRows and allChangedRows item arrays. I know that if I make changes here they will be erased if the code is re-generated. Is there a method I can override or an event I can subscribe to that will let me do something with the database just after the additions and changes are made? I can start my own transaction if I need to, but I need access to the arrays of added, changed and deleted records. Again, I want to keep things as auto generated as possible.

    - Displaying high-res images in .NET? .NET 1.1/2.0 I have a need to display high-resolution scrollable images in a .NET application (Windows Forms). One well known solution is to create a Panel with AutoScroll set to "true" and then add a PictureBox or another Panel to it, that is used to display the image. The above approach works, however, to my surprise, .NET GDI+-based graphics are not really hi-res friendly. Consider the following codes examples: 1) Bitmap b = new Bitmap( 6000, 6000 ); panel2.BackgroundImage = b; // <-- Works OK 2) Bitmap b = new Bitmap( 14000, 10000 ); panel2.BackgroundImage = b; // <-- "Out of memory" error The full stack of the error is: System.OutOfMemoryException: Out of memory. at System.Drawing.TextureBrush..ctor(Image image, WrapMode wrapMode) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.PaintBackground(PaintEventArgs e, Rectangle rectangle) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs pevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.PaintWithErrorHandling(PaintEventArgs e, Int16 layer, Boolean disposeEventArgs) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmEraseBkgnd(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ScrollableControl.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) Internally, the TextureBrush constructor makes a call to GdipCreateTexture() method in gdiplus.dll, and, apparently, there is some limit on the image size that the method can handle. Obviously, I am hitting some limit of GDI+ here, but still need to find a solution. I want to stay with .NET, if possible and avoid using any third-party ActiveX controls. What alternatives can I pursue? Will going with .NET 3.x and WPF help? TIA! Tag: Splash screen duration Tag: 117007

    - Reading Data From The Browser I'm working on a stand-alone winform app and could add a really cool feature if I could just get the URL of the active tab in the active browser window. Note that the browser would have focus...my app just sits in the background and based on the current URL, it would change the context of information that would be displayed when the user returns focus to me. I haven't touched the IE API's in years, but know there has to be a way. I doubt very seriously that FireFox does, but if anyone has any ideas, it is more than appreciated.

Hi

I have a typical vs 2008 winfrom app with a start-up form and a splash
screen managed by the framework. My question is what makes the splash screen
disappear as I want to keep it displayed for a few more moments than it
does?

Thanks
