    - TreeView and ObjectDisposedException Hi All! I have an application that opens form with TreeView. I want to close form by AfterSelect Event: private void MyTreeView_AfterSelect(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs e) { this.Close(); } But everytime when I clicking on TreeView Item, I get following error: An unhandled exception of type 'System.ObjectDisposedException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll Additional information: Cannot access a disposed object named "TreeView". Any ideas? Thank you, Vitaly Sedov Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67500

    - WinForm App and TaskManager Hi, I've a winform app and want to start the program without beeing visible in the task manager on a Windows ME box. I've seen some programs that start using the "Run" option in the registry and not appearing in the task manager. These programs are written in VC++ and I'm wondering how can I do that for my C# application? If this is not possible with an UI, can I write a background process which starts silently to monitor the other app? Remember, we're talking about a ME/98 box and have no services available. The background is that I want to prevent a user from killing my monitoring software in the task manager. Thanks for your ideas, Joerg Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67493

    - Controlling program flow in VB.NET I am a beginner in using VB.Net although I do have experience in VB6. It always seems that I have to keep my startup object in memory otherwise the application will just end. Even if I have transfered control to another form. It is irritating to have to keep my splash screen in memory just to make sure that my application will continue running. Can anyone help me? I'm going crazy already!! Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67483

    - How to get instance of control by name Hi, imagine having an INI-file with entries like: # key=Control / value=Text property of control controlA=bla bla bla controlB=bla bla bla controlA and controlB are different controls of types like TextBox, etc. Closing form will write INI-file, storing control names and text property of these Loading form will read INI-file and set text value of corresponding control quite a simple task, if you'll do it as follows: .... switch (iniControl) { case "controlA" : controlA.Text = iniValue; break; ... } ... But what about a more generic solution? Assuming that the key-value of INI-file is a known control, an instance within the form, what about a solution like: - get instance of the control by its name - set value from INI-file to Text-property Tried to solve this by using reflection - something like GetType(iniControl), but never suceeded. What do you think how this could be solved? Thanks and regards - Jari Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67480

    - Search for Files with System.IO.DirectoryInfo.GetFiles() I am trying to locate all image files in a particular folder. I use the System.IO.DirectoryInfo to open information about the specific directory. I am then trying to query all of the images in that folder whether the extension be .jpg, gif, or bmp. So far I have not had any luck passing more than one extension to 'GetFiles(String searchPattern). Is there a way to pass more than one extension to this method? Also is there a better way to search for files? Something more along the lines of FindFirstFile from the Win32 API? Thanks for the help Brian Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67472

    - Dll Import problem ** I forgot to ask one more thing, Just see the last few lines. I have a Dll written in C. And I want to Import that Dll into my C# program and use a function in the Dll. In a previous newsgroup article I saw that I may need to wrap the Dll in a C++ .NET class and then use that in my C# application. But when I run my program I get an error saying System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name "abc", or one of its dependencies, was not found. File name: "abc" abc is my wrapper project class library. here is my wrapper class is given below. The lib name is wdll.lib and the header is dll.h. #include "dll.h" #pragma comment(lib, "wdll.lib") namespace MyWrapper { public __gc class Class1 { public: static void myfunc1(long JobNo) { _libmain(JobNo); } static char * myfunc2(void *vJobRec, short field, short subfield) { return (GETJF_NAME( vJobRec )); } }; } Here is the actual dll header file. extern "C" { void WINAPI _libmain ( long JobNo ); void * WINAPI _getjobfield ( void *vJobRec, short field, short subfield ); }; ..... and here is where I am calling it. using MyWrapper; unsafe { Class1.myfunc2(null,0,0); } It throws the exception here, System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name "abc", or one of its dependencies, was not found. File name: "abc" ________________________________________________ So then I tried to acces the Dll in a more traditional way , but would result in the same error. Here is just a simple console application that I did, using System; using System.Runtime.InteropServices; using System.IO; using System.Reflection; using MyWrapper; namespace test { class Class1 { [DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)] static extern IntPtr LoadLibrary(string lpFileName); [DllImport("wdll.dll")] public static extern IntPtr _getjobfield([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] string s, short i1, short i2); [STAThread] static void Main(string[] args) { // Esure current directory is exe directory Environment.CurrentDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName( Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location ); string dllPath = Path.GetFullPath( @"C:\SoftwareDevelopment\testing\testing\test\test" ); LoadLibrary( dllPath ); Console.WriteLine( _getjobfield(null,0,0) ); } } } ******* ****************************************************************************** And in the previous mail I for got ask one more thing since _getjobfield returns a char pointer how can I read that value. currently what I am trying to do is unsafe { Class1.myfunc2(null,0,0); } but when i DO THIS unsafe { char * p = Class1.myfunc2(null,0,0); } It say's can not convert sbyte* to char*. The thing is that I am sending char* so I do not know where sbyte comes from But it throws the exception, Can any one help. Thanks Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67470

    - Font Class - a big performance eater? I was curious if anybody else noticed this fact. Everytime you use the font class, especially creating multiple instances of the Font class in an iteration, there is a significant performance hit. The way I noticed was due to a bug in my code. I have a list class where each item is a separate object with various properties, among which a Font. At some point I wanted to test my list with a lot of items so I made a loop that was creating like 10000 items, but I used a constructor that passes a font too and I used new Font(...). To my surprize and astonishement, it took an average of 7 milliisecond for the framework to create each item. I got into a sort of panic, as I thought that my event model was too extensive or I forget to dispose some objects. It turned up that when I removed the Font object from the costructor with a null, the average time went from 7 milliseconds to 0.02 miliseconds!! That is like 350 times faster... Now I am even worried about any place that I might use the font constructor. Did anybody noticed this behavior in other instances? Does anyone know an optimized way of using fonts thank you Iulian Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67459

    - No-Touch Deployment app.config problem I'm having a very frustrating problem with a no-touch-deployed application and its app.config file. When it loads from a remote server, it cannot get any settings from the app.config file. In trying to locate the problem, I have tested the following things: 1. The application works flawlessly when deployed via XCopy. 2. The application works flawlessly when accessed on my own machine via http://localhost. 3. The app.config file is accessible. I can browse to it manually and download it. 4. The app.config file is being downloaded by the application and stored in the IE browser cache, but is still not accessible to the application. 5. Another application - a simple one for testing this situation - exhibits exactly the same behaviour. I have already removed the *.config mapping from IIS for the relevant directory, and, just like before, the app.config is still accessible. I have enabled anonymous access. Just like before, the app.config is still accessible. I have thus concluded that the problem is not with my server configuration. Is anyone able to offer any insight into the situation? Anyone else encountered this problem? John N Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67451

    - Radiobutton databinding: Hi, I have a radio button group which I want to bind to a table column whose value is a string. Based on the string value, I want to checkmark one of the radio buttons. Here is my code in an attempt to do this. But it fails. The events don't even fire. I don't know what I am missing. All other databindings (to text boxes and combo boxes even check boxes) seem to work fine. But then, those controls don't need datatype conversion either. Can somebody please help? CatalogsDV is a Dataview of my datasource. And I have a currencyManager that positions the data. I have no problems there since other controls seem to work. Binding b2b = new Binding("Checked", catalogsDV, Const.CATALOGTYPECOLUMN); b2b.Format += new ConvertEventHandler(FormatCatalogType); b2b.Parse += new ConvertEventHandler(ParseCatalogType); this.rdbtnB2B.DataBindings.Add(b2b); // // // // private void FormatCatalogType(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.DesiredType != typeof(string)) return; string ctype = (string)e.Value; if (ctype == "B2B") this.rdbtnB2B.Checked = true; else if (ctype == "B2C") this.rdbtnB2C.Checked = true; } private void ParseCatalogType(object sender, ConvertEventArgs e) { if (e.DesiredType != typeof(bool)) return; bool ctype = (bool)e.Value; if (ctype == true) e.Value = "B2B"; else if (ctype == false) e.Value = "B2C"; } I am confused with the complexity of Databinding. But trying to learn. I assume the above event methods are correct, at least logically. I have placed breakpoints inside both the above events. But they don't seem to fire at all. Can somebody please help? Babu. Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67430

    - Tables don't show in drop down of tablestyle in property window of datagrid Ok I'm working on a custom IDE though it's using alot of the same technologies as the VS.Net IDE. I drag and drop the datagrid onto the form (root component) and there is a dataset with tables in the component tray. I then just set the datasource to the dataset and then the datamember to the table I desire. I then open the tablestyles and add a new one and hit the mappingname and hit the drop down and nothing shows up. What I need to find out is how the datagrid populates that list, something somewhere in my IDE isn't allowing the datagrid to populate the dropdown list with the tables in the dataset. So does anyone have any idea how that list gets populated Joe Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67427

    - queueing messages Hi, Ok, since I began writing this post, I have figured out the majority of my problem. I started out without a clue about how to use messages in my application (not referring to System.Messaging, but to good old windows messages). I want a Win32 application that runs without a window. I figured out how to add a message filter to the application before calling Application.Run(). That solves the problem of catching the message. Now I cannot, for the life of me, find any references to how to put a message on the application queue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Chris Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67417

    - Form.AutoScroll Property .NET Framework Class Library documentation on Form.AutoScroll Property #1- If this property is set to true, scroll bars are displayed on the form if any controls are located outside the form's client region #2- Additionally, when autoscrolling is on, the client area of the form automatically scrolls to make the control with input focus visible.

    - How to develop user-definable/configurable UIs using Windows Forms and ADO.NET? Hi, I'd like to create a data entry application in which users are able to customise the app and it's UI by adding/removing fields from the data entry form(s), changing the layout of the fields, or changing caption text. Are there any samples that show how this can be done with Windows Forms and ADO.NET?. Or perhaps books, articles, blogs or FAQs that cover this scenario? Cheers, Kunle Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67409

    - Initial Flicker on Fade Out Greetings Having a bit of a problem with a fade out on a form. I'm using a timer which is enabled via a button and then this timer tick then takes the opacity down to nothing and then eventually closing the application. However, what is happening is that when the button is clicked that enables the timer and thus the first tick, the form goes all black and then then repaints to the original form and fades out smoothly. I'm sure that this does not occur on the button click event, as I've put the thread to sleep at this point, and verified that it happens upon the first firing of the tick event. Here's what I've noticed, this is much worse on forms with many controls, it actually appears if the form rolls into the center leaving the black background for just an instant before proceeding normally. Although this "rolling" may be an optical illusion. Would appreciate if anyone can assist with getting rid of the flicker..........argh... probably something stupid... Private Sub timerFade_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles timerFade.Tic If Me.Opacity <= 0 The Me.Close( Els Me.Opacity = Me.Opacity - 0.0 End I End Sub Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67401

    - PropertyGrid bug? Hi all, Maybe this has been said before, I'm sorry if it has. I'm making a custom EnumConverter for a propertygrid so it shows other values than the named values of the enum... this works pretty much correctly, and as expected, EXCEPT: When doubleclicking the dropdown box, moving the mouse wheel, or using an accelerator key for the dropdown, it ignores completely the ConverTo() function (which is called when the dropdown is popped up and a value selected), and just doesn't call it. This is a problem as I use this function to convert the string representation to the actual enum value, so the setter receives an string and it causes an invalid property value exception (and doesn't change the value, that is). I could surely make every setter check if it's a string and convert accordingly, but that'd be hell of a lot of work (i'm doing this for many different enums and properties), and that'd rather ruin the usefulness of the PropertyGrid. So is this a bug in the PropertyGrid, am I doing something worng, or is there something I have forgotten to do so I can convert to my enum value when the editor value is changed other than popping up the dropdown? If you need further explanation, let me know Thanks, Javier Campos Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67393

    - PropertyGrid in UserControl doesn't reflect changes to displayed class Hello. I have a propertygrid in a usercontrol which I have placed on a form. I assign a class to this property grid in the control's constructor and it displays the properties of my class with no problem. I then invoke a method on the control which updates the class displayed in the propertygrid. When I either refresh or reassign to SelectedObject, the propertygrid fails to show any change in the underlying class. My apologies if this has been covered before - I did do search, but failed to find any posts for it (or failed to recognise them if I did :) Thanks, John Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67388

That's easy enough, but any Labels I have on the form do not have their background painted correctly.

    - .NET application does not release Excel Let me prefix with, I've done many VB6 and ASP applications that read from/write to Excel and have never had a problem. I'm not a beginner at this... I have created my first .NET Windows application that reads from Excel 2000 and writes to a tab file. I am using the code below and when stepping through the appExcel.Quit() is executed. However, the EXCEL.EXE process still runs and will run until I close the .NET application I've built. This happens in both DEBUG and RELEASE compilations. Try appExcel = New Excel.Application() ... coding tasks ... Catch ex As Exception ... error tasks ... Finally appExcel.Quit() Any ideas why Excel is not being released after the quit? I even tried adding GC.Collect() to see if it helps to force the Garbage Collection to release appExcel. Thanks, in advance. Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67360

When I drop the assemblies in the web and then point to the exe via a URL I get the following: CGI Error The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are: There must be something i am missing.

    - Overflow error when drawing a form with a Windows XP theme enabled I have written an Excel Plug-in (COM) for Office 2000 and 2002, which adds a toolbar. When a button on the toolbar is pressed, a dialogue box (.NET Form) appears, with several tabs, tree views, lists, combo boxes, etc (all standard .NET controls). Sometimes, while pressing buttons or interacting with the controls, an unhandled exception message appears due to an "Overflow error", with the information below. It appears in different places each time, and the control that was drawing at the time is replaced with a red "X" on a white background. I have searched the internet for any suggestions, but can't find anything that suggests what could be causing the problem. The only lead I have is that it seems to happen with Windows XP themes are enabled, but doesn't happen if the default "teletubbies" theme is used. Do you have any suggestions about how to fix this problem, or even what the error means?

    - Problem with showing/hiding forms I'm trying to convert my VB6 app to VB.NET and having loads of difficulty getting some forms to show correctly. I have seen similiar type of posts as mine, but nothing has worked for me I have an MDI container form(frmICD) and a Sub Main where the app first starts up. When I first run the app, frmlogon gets called from Sub Main to get the username and password. Once the user hits ok, code in frmlogon gets the next form (frmmainmenu) ready. I have verified via debugger that frmmainmenu is visible. I call frmlogon.hide, the app returns to the Sub Main and the program terminates. Is there a reason this is happening or What am I missing I tried to add this line of code in frmlogon: 'System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(New frmMainMenu)' but I receive this error message: 'It is invalid to start a second message loop on a single thread'. I'm assuming I get this because frmmainmenu is already visible? I don't know. If anyone can help or can tell me somewhere that has good examples of working with MDI forms and childs, it would be greatly appreciated Joe Tag: TreeView Nodes Tag: 67351

    - Bug in PrintPreviewDialog? I had a devil of a time setting the Icon for a class I made that inherits from PrintPreviewDialog. I noticed that someone else (post is in microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.csharp) had this same question. I created a new dialog: public class WindowsPrintPreviewDialogExtended : System.Windows.Forms.PrintPreviewDialog When I bring this class up in Visual Studio in designer mode, it has almost no properties. Just Document, UseAntiAlias, (DynamicProperties), (Name), DrawGrid, GridSize, Locked, SnapToGrid, Language, and Localizable. Many of the properties available for other forms, in particular the whole WindowStyle group, don't show up. Furthermore, when looking at code, typing "this." shows the Intellisense list for the class, which is just as sparse. There seems no way to set the icon. However, if you do the following, you can set it by hand: 1. Add "using System.Globalization;" to your code. 2. At the start of your constructor, add: System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(typeof(<yourClassName>)); where <yourClassName> is the name of your class. 3. After "InitializeComponent();" add: this.Icon = ((System.Drawing.Icon)(resources.GetObject("$this.Icon"))); Never mind that Intellisense doesn't recognize "Icon" as a valid property. In this case (for some reason) Intellisense isn't very intelligent. 4. Create a normal, vanilla Form in your project. Set the icon in that form. Now open the form's .resx file in Visual Studio. Switch to .XML mode. At the bottom of the file you will see a <data> tag with the name "$this.Icon". Copy this entire tag (down to and including </data>) onto the clipboard. 5. Open the .resx file for your print preview dialog in Visual Studio. Switch to XML mode. Paste the <data> tag and all of its contents to the end of the file, just before the </root> closing tag. 6. Delete the vanilla form that you added to your project. This will set the icon for your print preview dialog. Does anyone have any idea why PrintPreviewDialog would act like this? Does anyone know why, in the .NET documentation, PrintPreviewDialog is listed as having no Icon property under "list all members", even though its parent class, "System.Windows.Forms.Form", according to the same documentation, has a public Icon property? (And in .NET it's impossible to obscure properties of parent classes.) To add to the mystery, there is documentation for a PrintPreviewDialog.Icon property (oddly inaccessible from the documentation for PrintPreviewDialog), that claims that "This member supports the .NET Framework infrastructure and is not intended to be used directly from your code." You can see it here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemWindowsFormsPrintPreviewDialogClassIconTopic.asp Curiouser and curiouser.
