    - DataGrid DataMember changes Hello, I have a DataSet of multiple related tables that I display in a DataGrid. When the user drills down to a child table, or when he "drills back up" to the parent table, I want to populate a ComboBox with the names of the columns in the currently-displayed table. I've done some playing around with a currency manager for the DataMember of the grid, but it doesn't really give me what I want. Any suggestions for how to attack this? I'm stumped. The problem is with finding out when the user has changed the table he is viewing (and determining what the new table is). I can handle getting the info into the combobox. Many thanks, Fred Noltie Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64254

    - Can't Shutdown with System Tray Application Running I have created a System Tray application that works as expected until the user tries to shutdown. The computer will not shutdown because the System Tray application is still running. Can someone please provide an example of how to close the application automatically if the user chooses to shutdown without the user explicitly closing the application itself?

    - FileSystemWatcher I am using VB.NET and the FileSystemWatcher monitoring a network drive. Periodically I will get an error such as this: A first chance exception of type 'System.Net.Sockets.SocketException' occurred in system.dll Additional information: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host How can I trap this error and re-establish a connection in order to continue monitoring the directory on the network?

    - Security Issue The issue I am dealing with has to do with trusting an assembly (EXE) that physically resides on a network drive but is being accessed and run locally on a user's machine. When setting the icon up on each user's machine, I have to run the Framework 1.1 Wizard that allows me to browse to the Assembly (EXE) on the network and set the trust to full trust. I want to be able to accomplish this in a setup program. Is this possible? Thanks, Robert Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64245

    - SDL Data Adapter and Parameter All, What or how should I go about using a data adapter parameter? Here is my question. I have a data adapter and some records are filtered with @ContactID. Sometimes I want to add an additional parameter to this of @ClientID. As expected, if I add this to the data adapter configuration, I have to supply a value for it. So, is there a string or character like'*' that will return all the records. In essence, I want to be able to do: With daLead.SelectCommand.Parameters .Item("@ContactID").Value = 123 .Item("@ClientD").Value = "Every Single integer. Something like *" End With OR at other times.... With daLead.SelectCommand.Parameters .Item("@ContactID").Value = 123 .Item("@ClientD").Value = 567 End With -- Brian P.

    - Debugging a No Touch Deployment Application Hi, I have tried several different methods, but I havn't been able to get Visual Studio.NET debugger to attach to my application when I launch it from a web site. I have set up the project properties to launch URL. The URL I launch is the virtual directory I have set up for the Application. i.e. http://localhost/MyApp/MyApp.exe , which is the same directory I have the build set to. The application launches, but I don't get any debugging. Does anyone know how to accomplish this. TIA, -- Paul Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64242

    - Custom Control Properties in WinRes Hopefully someone out there can answer this question. It seems like a basic problem, but I can't figure out what's wrong. I have a form with a custom control that I want someone else to localize with WinRes. When you load the .resx file with WinRes, and the custom control assembly is in a place that WinRes can find it, it displays all the controls properly, including the custom control, but not all of the properties are available for editing in WinRes. Is there something I'm missing? I have source for the control - do I need to add something to the control so that WinRes can display the properties of the control? Thanks!

    - Avoiding focus I am trying to create a virtual keypad control for my client's touch screen application (using Windows XP). I have created a form, which I call Keypad, and in CreateParameters have added WS_EX_NOACTIVATE to the CreateParameter's ExStyle. This is supposed to tell the form to not take focus. I put a label on the form and hook into the Click event. I start my main application form, which has a text box control on it. I open my Keypad form, then select some text in the main application's text box. When I click on the label, the Keypad grabs focus and the selection in my applications text box loses focus. I've tried several things, but can't get the Keypad form to avoid grabbing focus. Can someone tell me what I am missing here? Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64233

    - Localization and winres Hi, I just ran into the localization utility "winres.exe". This is a pretty handy little thing for translators, but one thing puzzled me: Lets say I have a form with a single button on it. Caption is "button1". Translator translates and I get the new resource file. So fra so good. Now I decide that my form needs another button for v2 of my application. Then what? If I send the translator the same default resource file, he would have to start all over (not that big a deal with two buttons, but what if there were 27 buttons and just as many labels). Am I missing something here? Best regards, Sebastian Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64231

    - MouseUp event is raised when I double click my MDI form caption bar Hi everybody: I have a MDI application which has MDI forms containing every form a list view that shows files and folders like Windows Explorer. I have my own implementation of the context menu, so, I programatically show it when the mouseUp event is raised over the list view and the mouse button is the right button (quite obvious). My problem occurs when I show the context menu, and after I maximize the MDI form double-clicking the caption bar: My context menu is shown again because the mouse up of the list view is raised!!!! I searched in this group and I did not found similar problems and I have no idea to solve this problem because the MouseEventArgs object that my OnMouseUp() method receives is valid. Any help will be very useful. Thanks in advance Ernesto Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64222

    - Visible = False on Form_Closing... Hi, I have a MDIForm with some MDIChilds. When the user clicks on the "x" in the upper right corner, I don't want the MDIChild to be closed, but the property Visible = False. So far no problem: I do this useing the Form_Closing-event in which I typed: e.Cancel = True Me.Visibible = False But: When I Close the MDIParent, it wont shut down the whole application because of the fact that those MDIChilds cancel the closing! I tryed to put work with a boolean which is set to true when MDIParent is closed, and first evaluated in the MIDChild_Closing-event, but that doesn't work either, because of the fact that the Closing-event of the MDIChilds are fired before the Closing Event of the Parent... Anybody got any idea how to do this? Maybe with the Closed-event? This event comes after the Closing-event, but I can't find someting in ot to Cancel the closing of the form. I guess there must be a 'nicer' way to do this: Maybe by handling the click on the "x", and when it is clicked not to close etc etc... Hoping for your help and thanks a lot in advance, Pieter Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64217

    - AnchorStyles conversion For a bitwise type like AnchorStyles the .NET runtime provides an easy way to convert this to a string (like "Top, Left"), but is there an easy way to convert it back again ? I've written my own method (see below) to do it but it strikes me that there may be a much simpler way ! protected static AnchorStyles DeserializeAnchor(string a) { AnchorStyles retval = AnchorStyles.None; if (a != "None") { if (a.IndexOf("Top") > -1) retval = retval | AnchorStyles.Top; if (a.IndexOf("Bottom") > -1) retval = retval | AnchorStyles.Bottom; if (a.IndexOf("Left") > -1) retval = retval | AnchorStyles.Left; if (a.IndexOf("Right") > -1) retval = retval | AnchorStyles.Right; } return retval; } Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64215

    - HOW: Inherited forms and OnClick Armin wrote on the 1st of Jan as a reply to Lorne Smith "The designer creates the default procedure for events. Event procedures are usually not Public Overridable. IMO, you should not change the signature in the base class. If you want an overridable sub handling the Click, add an Overridable OnButtonClick procedure called in the event handler of the base class. In the derived class, override OnButtonClick". Question 1: Can anyone give an example (VB.NET if possible) on how to do that? I can't find any. Not even the MSDE example for OnClick is about OnClick. I've got a copule of books on Windows Forms (many of the good) and loads of online articles, the authors avoid going into inherited forms, which is a pity, since quite many questions in this discussion group seem to be about just that. Question 2: I'm successfully using override, but now I get confused: Lorne Smith writes: "when I put code in the sub, it was executed twice when I ran the form. Now I realised this is because both the base form and the inherited form are handling the event". WHY does both the base form and the inherited form execute the event? I thought override meant that the overriding method executes INSTEAD of the overridden, not that both are executed. Why would I use the override keyword if I want both to execute? But clearly Lorne is right in that both are executed. I've considered that an oddity, but it is by-design then. Kind Regards, Kenneth Bohman Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64191

    - Help! Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents.WindowThreadProc eating CPU I have a windows forms application that occasionally eats 100% of the hosts system's CPU indefintely. If I break execution and selectively freeze threads, the culprit seems to be the thread named ".NET System Events". That thread is in a tight loop within SystemEvents.WindowThreadProc. I don't understand the disassembly, but it appears to be stuck completely within that method as I step through it. As I understand it, that thread is responsible for calling events when system properties change. I have hooked none of these events in my code, and like I said the thread appears to be looping entirely within the WindowThreadProc method. This happens most often when coming back from a Fast User Switch in XP or resuming from a suspended/hibernated state. What is going on?? How can I work around this? It's noticed by customers and makes us look bad. -Brian Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64185

    - Bug in Windows Form Designer generated code (VS.NET 2003) Every time I make a change affecting a toolbar (e.g. adding or removing buttons), I loose the bitmap images at runtime. They are still displayed in the designer, but when the application runs, the toolbar appears blank with only separators visible. I determined that the problem is caused by the wrong location of the toolbar.Buttons.AddRange function in the auto-generated InitializeComponent function, which is placed before buttons are initialized. If I manually move the AddRange function call after the button initialization calls, it works fine, but the next time I make a change, I have to do it again. This is really irritating. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix for it? A better workaround? Thanks. Alek Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64175

Hello, Does anybody know the possibility of routing different kind of events (Which has different EventArgs like Click and OnPaint for example) to only one handler sub? I'm creating a designer control to allow the end users to design a form.The user can drag new controls into this design surface and after the design I move those controls to a normal windows form..At this point, I want to get notified any of the events that those new controls will generate..And I don't have predefind event subs already in my code which I can link those controls...

    - How to (easily) change the width of a single column in a DataGrid [VB.NET] I've run into a few posts on this, some with answers pointing to FAQs (like http://www.syncfusion.com/faq/winforms/search/754.asp), but I figured I'd go ahead and share the code I'm using. Basically, you need to set up a for loop through every column in your dataset and create a default action rigging up a DataGridColumnStyle for each. Then look for the cols that need special treatment and knock yourself out. You might insert a "case else" below and move the mappingname and headertext there to have a mutually exclusive default handler. ' Assumes you've got... ' Public dsTime As DataSet ' Public grdTime as DataGrid Dim myGridTableStyle As DataGridTableStyle = New DataGridTableStyle Dim TextCol As DataGridColumnStyle Dim dcTemp As DataColumn myGridTableStyle.MappingName = Me.dsTime.Tables(0).TableName For Each dcTemp In Me.dsTime.Tables(0).Columns TextCol = New DataGridTextBoxColumn ' I want my "description" column to be wider than the rest ' Select Case is overkill for one col, but is an easy place ' to expand to catch other columns Select Case dcTemp.ColumnName case "description" TextCol.Width = 250 End Select ' Everything else gets added with defaults, though you ' need to provide a name for the column to show up in ' the DataGrid. ' Seems to keep the default validators and everything ' by simply doing the below TextCol.MappingName = dcTemp.ColumnName TextCol.HeaderText = dcTemp.ColumnName myGridTableStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(TextCol) Next ' add formatted tablestyle to the datagrid Me.grdTime.TableStyles.Add(myGridTableStyle) ' bind the datagrid Me.grdTime.DataSource = Me.dsTime.Tables(0) Ha, and if you search Google for something with "single" in it, like, say, [datagrid "single column"], prepare for some Google Ads to eHarmony.com & gotoCupid.com (though we all know GOTOs are Bad Things), etc. Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64156

    - Control Focus issues Hello, A form with 3 textboxes and a button and the code below : Private Sub TextBox2_Enter fred() end sub Private Sub fred() TextBox3.focus End Private Sub TextBox3_enter console.writeline("Entering") End Private Sub TextBox3_Leave console.writeline("Leaving") end Private Sub Button1_Click TextBox2.focus End The intent here is to start with the focus in TextBox1 (no events), click the button. The button changes focus to TextBox2. The Enter event calls a routine that also shifts focus, this time to TextBox3. I would expect the output to be: Entering Instead I am getting Entering Leaving Entering This seems wrong and is causing some issues. In practice, tabbing to 'TextBox2' takes the place of the button click, but the end result is the same, a Leave event at the "wrong" time. mklapp Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64154

    - How do you debug a Designer Error from Inherited forms I am getting an error in the Designer when trying inherit a form. Value cannot be null: Parameter Name dataSource now I do not use the Name dataSource in any of the inherited code so I am assuming that this is in the VS Designer code somewhere. The original base form comes up in the designer just fine. If I Ignore the designer and compile the new Inherited form it compiles and runs just fine. Is there a way of debugging what the designer is doing when it attempts to load the inherited form so I can see what is giving the designer grief. Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64152

    - WinForms UserControl problem at VS.NET design view Hi, I'm working on a Win form application which is being developed in VB.Net. I have created few User Controls quite some time back and implemented them successfully. Now the problem is, I'm not able to use UserControls using my VS.NET IDE. When I tried to drag and place the user controls on WinForm (from Toolbox), it shows an error saying "An exception occurred while trying to create an instance of Classname.UserControlName. The exception was 'Value cannot be null. Parameter name:path'". And another strange problem is when I tried to open my existing solution, the controls are missing and an error is shown like "The Variable 'UserControlName' is either undeclared or was never assigned. Could some one please help on this ASAP? Your help is muchhhly appriciated as we are closed to the deadline. Thanks in advance, Kiran Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64140

    - SQLDataAdapter SP Generation Hi, I have created an SQLDataAdapter component on my vb.net winform project and stepped through the wizard. In my SQL Database I have a table with fields using user defined data types and not the base data types. The problem is that when the stored procedure gets created by the adapter the parameter's data types did not follow the data type of the table I used in the wizard. Is there any solution on how I could use my user defined data types in my SP, autogenerated by the adapter, w/o actually modifying the SP after running the wizard? Appreciate any help. Thanks.

    - Suggestion for implementing controls based on rules Hi everyone; We have a problem in our compact framework client-server application for which we would require your valuable suggestions. Problem: There are controls in the application user interface that has to be loaded based on rules / transaction codes else they are not displayed at all, hence the controls won't be there at design time but they would have to be created and placed at run time.Hence a elegant and simple solution has to be designed to meet out the requirements. Solution: We are leaning towards getting all valid transaction codes from the database and loading into memory at the start of the application. When a form is created for the first time,the form and all the form controls are created based on the transaction codes.The form is then saved into a form factory. If that form is required again then it is loaded from the form factory. I would appreciate some comments or suggestions to this approach.

    - Load event firing twice for one form instance I have a form which I want to show modally; it's a fairly old form that's been ported up several versions of VB, and I'd like to keep its rewriting to a minimum. Basically, it is used in this sequence: 1. The form is shown. The Form_Load event does some initialization. 2. Further parameters are passed to this form. 3. We actually need this form to be modal, so we hide it and show it again modally. 4. Stuff happens on the form based on the parameters passed in, etc. (The VB.NET code for this is below.) However, I've discovered that calling ShowDialog() in step #3 fires off the Form_Load event a second time, even though it's the same object instance. Does any instance of showing a form fire this event? (My problem here is that the Form_Load initialization should only happen once. I could use an already_initialized flag, but that's horribly messy; if I have to, I'd rather pass Foo in the constructor and hold onto it through the Form_Load process.) --Caitlin Shaw **Code** Private WithEvents frmThing As ThingForm Public Sub DoThatThingWithFoo(Foo as Object) 'Create the thing and set it up frmThing = New ThingForm() frmThing.Show() frmThing.DoSomeSetup(Foo) 'Really, though, we want this thing to be modal frmThing.Hide() frmThing.ShowDialog() 'Good, that's done frmThing.Dispose() End Sub Tag: No Touch Deployment Error Question Tag: 64125

When I run on Win 2000 test machine with .NET 1.1 Framework installed, the app runs fine but the task tray icon is greyscale, rather than color.

HI,
I am getting this error when I try to create a new instance of one of my
forms.
--
System.Security.SecurityException: Security error.
--
This error is thrown in the CTOR on the MyBase.New() call.

At this stage I have already created and displayed several other forms right
before this step, so it doesn't make sense why this particular form would
fail it is just a Standard windows form, with Menus/toolbars on it. It
doesn't even tell my what kind of security error

TIA,
