 - listview offset I have a listview with large icons. When user clicks, say the top left of an icon, and in the mouse down event i have Point p = listview1.PointToClient(new Point(MousePosition.X, MousePosition.Y)), if I then compare p to listviewitem.Position, where listviewitem is the icon the user clicked, then in some cases the two points aren't equal. Anyone that can explain why this offset exists and is there a way to know what this offset would be? i.e. is there e.g. a property of the listview that holds this?

 - ClickOnce deployment gets messed up after going from 2.0 to 3.5 Hi yall! I got a locally published website and client (deployed by ClickOnce) that I install on several servers. I'm using mage.exe to update and re-sign the application and deployment manifests. Everything worked like a charm when using 2.0 Now we moved to 3.5 and I updated mage.exe and added the now necessary Microsoft.Build... assembly. The whole resigning process worked fine, but when I try to install the client on a fresh machine, I get the following following error: Code: ERROR DETAILS Following errors were detected during this operation. * [07.07.2008 13:52:14] System.Deployment.Application.InvalidDeploymentException (ManifestSemanticValidation) - Application contains an assembly with the same identity as the application or deployment: PcVclient.application, Version=1.2.99.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b2cb5e85fcd37978, processorArchitecture=msil. - Source: System.Deployment - Stack trace: at System.Deployment.Application.DownloadManager.ProcessDownloadedFile(Object sender, DownloadEventArgs e) at System.Deployment.Application.FileDownloader.DownloadModifiedEventHandler.Invoke(Object sender, DownloadEventArgs e) at System.Deployment.Application.FileDownloader.OnModified() at System.Deployment.Application.SystemNetDownloader.DownloadSingleFile(DownloadQueueItem next) at System.Deployment.Application.SystemNetDownloader.DownloadAllFiles() at System.Deployment.Application.FileDownloader.Download(SubscriptionState subState) at System.Deployment.Application.DownloadManager.DownloadDependencies(SubscriptionState subState, AssemblyManifest deployManifest, AssemblyManifest appManifest, Uri sourceUriBase, String targetDirectory, String group, IDownloadNotification notification, DownloadOptions options) at System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationActivator.DownloadApplication(SubscriptionState subState, ActivationDescription actDesc, Int64 transactionId, TempDirectory& downloadTemp) at System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationActivator.InstallApplication(SubscriptionState& subState, ActivationDescription actDesc) at System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationActivator.PerformDeploymentActivation(Uri activationUri, Boolean isShortcut, String textualSubId, String deploymentProviderUrlFromExtension) at System.Deployment.Application.ApplicationActivator.ActivateDeploymentWorker(Object state) Any ideas, hints, tipps much appreciated.

 - Application exiting before doing what it should do Hi My app involves an Infragistics control but as problem seems to be more with how vb.net works when using SUB Main so I am posting it here nevertheless. I want my app to pick up the first command line argument, pass it to infragistics desktop alert control to display and then exit. My code is given below. Problem is that app exits as soon as it is run and desktop alert does not get time to be displayed. However the same alert displays fine if I use start-up form (instead of SUB Main) and use a button on form to run the ShowDesktopAlert SUB. What is the problem and how can I make it work using SUB Main? Thanks Regards Module modMain Friend WithEvents dalMain As New Infragistics.Win.Misc.UltraDesktopAlert Sub Main(ByVal sArgs() As String) Dim Tel As String = "" Dim Caption As String = "" If sArgs.Length > 0 Then Tel = sArgs(0) Caption = "Incoming Staff call " & Tel ShowDesktopAlert(Caption, "Goto contact?") End If End Sub Sub ShowDesktopAlert(ByVal Caption As String, ByVal Msg As String) dalMain.Show(Caption & ":" & Msg, "Click here to go to contact record.")

 - Flicker in with Layered Windows I am displaying a semi-transparent dialog window (Opacity=50%) over another window. Whenever the background window is Invalidated, it causes a flicker in the foreground layered window. For example, an animated gif will cause this flicker in any region of the layered window that is over the animation. Is there any solution to this? (fyi, double-buffered doesn't do anything. Setting Opacity=100% resolves this but then i lose the semi-transparency) Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117596

 - DataGridView and ThreeState Hello, I have a DataGridView with a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn. I want to be able to have the checkbox display in an indeterminate state, so I've set the ThreeState property to True. However, I want the indeterminate state to only be set programatically - whenever the user clicks the checkbox, it should only toggle between Checked and Unchecked. Now, this is the default behaviour of a standard CheckBox control - as detailed in the CheckBox.ThreeState property documentation: "the CheckState property value can only be set to the Indeterminate value of System.Windows.Forms.CheckState in code and not by user interaction" How would I achieve this with DataGridView? I'm committing the changes to the checkbox cells immediately by catching the CurrentCellDirtyStateChanged event and calling CommitEdit as suggested in the documentation for DataGridView. However, if I try catching the indeterminate state in this event or in CellValueChanged, and setting Value to CheckState.Unchecked, the cell's Value property changes but the display does not update until the control loses focus or another row is selected. As this is the default for the CheckBox control, I'm sure it can't be that difficult to get the DataGridView to do it. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your help, Steven Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117582

 - ClickOnce on a Terminal Services server farm Hello, I think I know the answer to this, I would just like a second opinion and other ideas. We have a ClickOnce application that one of our clients would like to install in a Terminal Services server farm. The application is installed from a URL and added to the Start menu and uses the .NET 2.0 framework. The ClickOnce application files are stored in the directory C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data. The issue is that the Local Settings folder is not part of Profile Synchonization (or folder redirection). Their policy is that files in the Local Settings folder are removed when the user logs off. The result is that the application is re-installed each time the user runs the application from the start menu. This is of course unacceptable. I am afraid that the only solution is to have them use an MSI file, but I am looking for other ideas? I have read conflicting reports that there is a way to modify the ClickOnce store on each server? Anyone? Thanks in advance. Glenn Smith Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117580

 - DoubleBuffered not working in panel? For a kiosk-type application I have a form with some labels placed directly onto it, and an empty panel that covers part of the form. During program execution, labels are added to and removed from that panel to display different information. The form has a background image. Its DoubleBuffered property = True to avoid flickering during updates, but double buffering seems to be used only for controls placed directly on the form, not for those within the panel. Updating the panel without visible flicker seems to be impossible. Each "flicker" consists of the background image within the panel's boundaries first disappearing (replaced by the form background color), and reappearing immediately thereafter. When the background image reappears, that doesn't happen in a single stroke: it becomes visible first for about half of the area. The rest follows at the next display refresh (I mean monitor vertical sync). If you ask me, this (disappearing / reappearing in more than one display refresh) means it is either not being double-buffered, or the working buffer is copied into the screen buffer to soon, while it is still being repainted. The platform is XP Professional (application being developed for later use on XP Embedded). The flicker does NOT seem to occur on my development machine, which is running Vista, but this machine is also equipped with a more performant processor and display adapter, which may explain the difference too.

 - Newbie question: Cstr vs toString Hi I have a WinForm app with a bound form. When user enters a value in field rateid I lookup the respective rate amount from a table and assign it to field rate.I am using the DLookup function to achieve this (full code given below). This function returns a value of type object so I need to convert it to string. If I use the function as below (using ToString) it works fine; Me.txtRate.Text = DLookup(<parameters here>).ToString but if I use it with a CStr Me.txtRate.Text = CStr(DLookup(<parameters here>)) and then browse through 2-3 record the form stops showing data in the bound fields. This brings me to question; what is the difference between CStr and tostring that could be causing the above problem? Thanks Regards ======= Function DLookup(ByVal SearchFld As String, ByVal SearchTbl As String, ByVal SearchCriteria As String) As Object Dim Cmd As OleDb.OleDbCommand Dim Reader As OleDb.OleDbDataReader Cmd = New OleDb.OleDbCommand("SELECT " & SearchFld & " FROM " & SearchTbl & " WHERE " & SearchCriteria, DBConnection()) Reader = Cmd.ExecuteReader() If (Reader.Read()) Then DLookup = Reader.GetValue(0) Else DLookup = DBNull.Value End If Reader.Close() Reader = Nothing Cmd = Nothing End Function Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117577

 - .NET & Accessibility Hi *.*, I'm using Accessibility (oleacc.dll) for getting some informations from foreign programs, e.g. with "AccExplorer32.exe". Normally, I can get several informations about the "ObjectFromPoint", such as Role, State, Name etc. and also WindowHandle. On WinForms, I don't get a Handle (always zero). Bug or feature? It seems to me that the support for Accessibility in .Net Framework is not (yet) perfect... Juergen. Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117575

 - Compatible Type for DataGridViewRowCollection + 'SelectedRowCollec Good afternoon (for everyone in time zones -10 through +1, at the moment). This is a minor problem, but it's bugging me, it seems like there should be a graceful solution. I need to iterate over either the selected rows in a DataGridView, or (if none are selected) ALL the rows. Either way I perform the same operations. At the moment, I have a switch leading to one of two foreach loops, each with identical content. What I'd like to do is choose one of two collections (.Rows or .SelectedRows) and then iterate over it - no repeated code. However, the types of these parameters are DataGridViewRowCollection and DataGridViewSelectedRowCollection rather than IEnumerable<DataGridViewRow>. The docs say that they implement this interface, or rather implement IEnumerable, but it's invalid to cast up. This is what I'd like to get working: IEnumerable<DataGridViewRow> rows = DataContacts.SelectedRows.Count == 0 ? DataContacts.Rows : DataContacts.SelectedRows; foreach (DataGridViewRow row in rows) /*Do stuff with the row*/ This fails at compile time; casting .Rows and .SelectedRows to IEnumerable<DataGridViewRow> fails at runtime. This is my inelegant workaround: if (DataContacts.SelectedRows.Count == 0) { foreach (DataGridViewRow row in DataContacts.Rows) /*Do stuff with the row*/ } else { foreach (DataGridViewRow row in DataContacts.SelectedRows) /*Do stuff with the row*/ } Any thoughts? I suppose could wrap the "Do stuff" part in a function, or use a delgate, but it seems clumsy. Thanks! Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117566

 - ClickOnce installs to Vista Client I have placed a ClickOnce installation package on a Windows 2003 server. I am able to install from this location to a Windows XP client. However, when I attempt to install to a Vista client, the installation is unsuccessful. The log shows the error message "Unable to connect to the remote server. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it." Vista has no problem obtaining and displaying the publish.htm page, so I know this client has access to the server. The server is capable of serving up the install properly to an XP client, so I think the server is configured properly. So what needs to be changed so I don't get this error on a Vista client?

 - Impact of Verisign Timestamping Service on ClickOnce deployed Apps We have a number of applications that are deployed using ClickOnce and we use the VeriSign timestamping service. The VeriSign timestamping service is being upgraded to use SHA-1 instead of MD5 and I need to gauge how this will affect our applications. From what I understand when the application is signed the TimeStamping Service is called to generate a hashed timestamp that is inserted in the code with the signature. When the client verifies the signature it verifies the timestamp and if it is valid it ignores the expiration date of the certificate. This means that nothing should change on the deployment side but it will affect client machines with older operating systems (Pre Win2k) that don't know how to deal with SHA1 timestamp. Can anyone confirm this information and tell me if any other problems await me? Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117554

 - class libraries and components I'm posting here rather than in the controls group because mine is a multi-part question, only partially involving components. It's more a design issue. The environment is VS2008, BTW. I am a long-time C++ MFC consultant (who also does native code Delphi), stepping temporarily into the dotnet world to solve a specific problem. For our new system I have developed a communications interface, the details of which need not concern us here. Suffice it to say that you talk to this beast via a DLL, using messages in a fixed (binary) format. That works fine for the C++ server apps. But C# client-side programs will now also need to talk to this interface. Obviously the C# message objects have to be marshalled into this binary format. I already have the code to do a subset of the necessary marshalling developed for an earlier prototype which talked to an older version of the comms utility, using the old obsolete DDE format (it used the NDDE DLL that some kind soul published). That code was standalone classes within a single project. Now I need something that can be shared among multiple developers. So in essence, I have a bunch of classes to represent the messages, which C# apps need to use, and a bunch of functions which implement the DLL interface, which C# apps also need to use, passing the one into the other. For the sake of simplicity, it seems to me that the connection to the comms subsystem should be handled via a component which C# developers can just drop onto their form. This would be a non-visual component, which would encapsulate the DLL interface. I then thought that the classes would form an ordinary class library... but it seems like the only way for multiple C# apps to share code is via a referenced assembly. There seems to be no equivalent of a simple shared unit of code, like a Delphi unit. Also, because of the interop issues, for a C# app the DLL interface only makes "sense" when viewed via the classes implemented in the class library, so it looks like the classes really belong inside the component. C# apps certainly can't send the binary format that the DLL expects, so the component needs to do the marshaling as well. I am _really_ lost in this alien enviroment. Can anyone offer advice, or point me at a good book/site on component authoring? Bob Moore http://bobmoore.mvps.org/ Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117553

 - Best method for including a static file within project Refresh my memory please. Assume you have a static (i.e. text or xml) file you want to include in your project (VB, Visual Studio 2005). What is the best (simplest) method for accessing it programatically? (Feel like I'm forgetting something.) Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117547

 - The wish to pass a value from a (child) class to a (parent) form I have a MainForm class and a second class which initializes an instance of a second class which I call CommunicationManager. This is just a simplified representation of the MainForm class: partial class MainForm : Form { [STAThread] static void Main() { Application.Run(new MainForm()); } // Public accessor public string textToDisplayBox { set { this.textBox4.Text = value; } } // CommunicationManager CommunicationManager comm = new CommunicationManager(); } The CommunicationManager class has a simple function, i.e. to collect in a string the output from the comport... My troubles stem from the fact that I am unable to reference back to the form which second class is initiated. Do you have any suggestions on how to achieve this?

 - Quick question about XML manipulation I have just been told I need to write a quickie throwaway program that generates an XML file. I am a bit rusty. The program will be written using VB in Visual Studio 2005. Do I understand this correctly - If I include a reference to an XSD or DTD file at the start of the XMLDocument object, there will be automatic validation of the data as it is added to the structure? (Assuming the XSD or DTD is in an accessible location?) Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117544

 - How to make it use 5th version of comctl32.dll Hi, For some reason my .NET application uses the 6th version of comctl32.dll and not the 5th which, according to Microsoft, should also be present in Windows. The new DLL is causing problems with my TreeView based control so I want to go back to the 5th version of the DLL. How do I do that? Also I am curios how did the user manage to get 6th version withouth the 5th on his pc to be able to reproduce this problem... Regards, Misha Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117542

 - Newbie question: Improving graphics rendering performance. Hello everyone, I've recently picked up a project that involves rendering 100s and potentially 1000s of individual objects onto the screen. They vary in shape, size and color and some of them involve computations before they can be rendered. I'll summarize my methodology for brevity: In the Paint event I've added code that renders my objects. The objects are stored in memory (in either arrays or collections of some sort). Each object has a "Draw" method which knows how to draw the given object. I loop through all the objects and 'draw' them onto the graphics object. So ar pretty standard stuff and to be honest I haven't really noticed a problem with the rendering (I'm double buffering). I may potentially need to render many more objects. I was hoping if someone could explain what, I imagine, must be a basic concept. Imagine I have a 25 objects that I'm rendering on the screen like: o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Currently I'm looping through all 25 objects and adding them to the Graphics object. Suppose I only need to show the middle 9 so (x represents NOT rendered): x x x x x x o o o x x o o o x x o o o x x x x x x I could just create a Region object and mission accomplished (from a rendered point of view), however, from a algorithm point of view I'm still looping through 25 objects and calling their "draw" method. I had thought about checking if the object lies in the Region before doing my computations thereby potentially saving some cycles per object but some objects are complex and trying to determine if it lies partially in the rendering Region and partially outside it would probably take up just as many, if not more cycles. So I guess my question is am I stuck looping through all my objects and adding them to the Graphics object regardless of were they lie (in or out of the rendering region) or is there a more standard method for accomplishing this? I hope I've made my self clear. Thanks, Stephan Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117536

 - ClickOnce - trusted sites (IE) Hi, We are planing ClickOnce deployment of a VSTO app. We don't have a certificate at the moment so we are using VS test certificate. We are placing installationfiles on the web, and our test/beta users can install ok BUT they need to manually tell IE to trust our site (VSTO runs under full trust). If (or rather when) we buy and use a code signing certicate will this big problem go away, or will users still have to trust our web site? Thanks, Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117518

 - MessageBox sounds behaving strangely I understand that the MessageBox icon enumeration values map to system sounds. This seems to be fairly predictable, even if the mapping sometimes don't make sense. However, I've found a scenario in which it doesn't behave correctly. In a textbox's Validating event, when I call a MessageBox.Show, the first time it plays the System's Default sound, no matter which icon value I choose. Subsequent calls use the correct sound: Private Sub MyTextBox_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) _ Handles MyTextBox.Validating MessageBox.Show("This is an error","Error",, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) ' This plays the system's Default sound MessageBox.Show("This is an error","Error",, MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error) ' This plays the system's Critial Stop sound End Sub Even if I change the first MessageBox's icon to MessageBoxIcon.None, it still plays the Default sound. It only seems to do this in this event. When I paste the same code into a button click handler, it behaves as expected. Is this a bug in the messagebox? Tag: Strange modal form behaviour Tag: 117493

Hi guys, it's a little problem but I'm quite stuck with it. I'm
developing a Windows Forms application with VS2008 and I have noticed
this little graphical bug. I have a main form with ShowInTaskbar=true.
I open a modal form (with showdialog()) with ShowInTaskbar=false.
Then, just sometimes, when a use the "Show Desktop" icon or I change
the active program when I go back to mine I can see just the main form
(the modal form is somehow hidden) and obviously it's locked, I can't
interact with it. Neither I can see use the modal form because it's
hidden, so I have to change the active program with ALT+TAB and the go
back to my application. With this move I can get back my modal form
and can continue working. How can I avoid this and keep my modal form
"hidden" from the taskbar?

Thank you in advance for your help

Try using the ShowDialog() overload that sets the modal form's owner, e.g.
modalForm = new ModalForm();
modalForm.ShowDialog(this);
