    - Events - publish/subscribe and GC'ing In my application the main thread my create several worker threads that will create additional objects. These additional objects become "publishers" and the main thread object (amongst others) then can "register" to receive the events. My question is, what happens when the "publisher" object completes it's work and disappears? Do I need to first broadcast a "please unregister" message to the subscribers? When the publisher goes away, if the subscribers haven't unregistered, will this create a leak and/or prevent the GC from collecting the now demised publisher object? Thanks!

    - How to associate icons with menu items Does anyone know a quick and easy way to place icon images in menu items of a MainMenu control? This is usually an effortless task for other controls using their ImageList properties, which is not available for MainMenu. The only way I can find is to set the menu item's OwnerDraw property to true and write code to handle the MeasureItem and DrawItem events. TIA for any input.

    - Splash Screen Problem Hi, I'm having a problem with a windows application in VB.NET. It is an MDI application, and I have just added a splash screen that is displayed in the beginning of the constructor of the mainform, and then is hidden at the end of the constructor (after all the init is done for the mainform). The splash screen has a background image that fills all the form. There is also 4 labels on top the the background image. The problem is that for some reason, when the splash screen is displayed, the labels are not displayed. In fact, instead they act as if they were transparent, so I see whatever is behind the form on my desktop. Any idea what can I do for this? thanks, Ross Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server???? Tag: 53199

    - MDI Problems HI! I've got following problem: I got an app which mainly consists of one main window. There serveral other windows (which I use for settings), but there's also one important data-form. The main windows must not be closed, the other windows must not be modal, they also must not be AlwaysTop and they also are not allowed to become "invisible" (main window covers it, cause of operation in main window (to get information for child window)). So I've choosen to convert my sdi to mdi. My main window is child of another window and should always be maximized. Thats my first problem, cause it doesn't help to cut off the min and max button (resizing through dblclick on title bar) and I can't make my main windows the parent window cause it holds several controls and when I'm showing the child (property/data window), I can't see anything from the child. Most of my property windows are created dynamicly through a database, the size of the window is handled and the Style is set to fixed 3d, but it got maximized. How can I prevent this? I'd be very grateful for your answers Bernhard Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server???? Tag: 53194

    - RowSelect Disabled Datagrid Hi Everybody, I have been trying to create a Datagrid wherein 1) the first row is selected by default when the Form Loads. (Easily done with dg.Select(0)) 2) user cannot tab into any column. ie. unlike the default behaviour which is when the current cell gets focus, the existing text inside it is selected and cursor is at the end of the textbox. I can state it alternatively as "the column should not get focus" 3) When user clicks any other row with mouse or moves in the datagrid using keyboard, the new row shall get selected. For this, i have hooked into CurrentCellChanged event to get the new row and select it. My problem is 1) When user presses Tab in the DG, the focus moves along the columns and which ever column gets focus, the text in it gets selected and text within it gets selected. I have the row selected, but this columns display is not consistent with rest of the columns. 2) As soon as the DG looses focus, the row gets de-selected. For eg. a Messagebox popup and the row gets de-selected. 3) If user presses tab on the last column of the last row, there is no row selected. My dg.select(rownum) has been coded in CurrentCellChanged so, a row shall be always selected. But its not so!!! As an example of what i want to achive is exactly as implemented in TASKVISION sample application provided at http://www.windowsforms.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=7&tabid=44 . I have gone through the source code of this sample and have set the properties of my DG exactly as in the sample, created my TableStyle and GridColumnStyles dynamically. Cant Figure out what to do more. Anybody got ideas/solutions?? Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server???? Tag: 53185

    - Bug in Framework 1.1? I have an application that worked properly in .NET 2002 but doesn't in 2003. It is an MDI application that can have several open forms with some forms being (virtual) parents of others. When a user clicks on a parent form, it attempts to shift the focus back to the child, but this appears to no longer work in the Framework v1.1. As it is an MDI application, I can't use the owner variable to make the parent inaccessible as a form can not be an MDI child and an owner as well. Disabling the parent also does not appear to make it inaccessible. So I have no choice but to call the child forms Show method from the parent's activate event. It runs the code, but it refuses to cause the OnActivate delegate or Activated event in the child form (which it needs to in order to show the children's children). Is this the way it is supposed to work now? Does anyone else have a valid workaround? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Dan.

    - How to intially set a bound combo box value to null I have a number of combo boxes that are bound to lookup tables. Whenever the user enters the form the initial value will always be set to the first value that is in the bound table, so it looks as though a value has already been selected.

    - What is the best method for creating a "no-touch" client application I have a WinForms application with a config file that I would like to deploy internally by making it available on a central server, where it will be maintained and versioned. I was thinking that accessing it via IE would be helful, but it is not clear how to handle the config file, which does thinks such as activate the client remoting capabibility. I would like changes to this config file to be automatically downloaded with the application. There is also the problem of default permissions. Although this can be handled with isolated storage, it is not clear how I can automatically download any changes to the config file in the central server to this location. Is this approach an acceptable one or is there a better method for accomplishing what I am attempting to accomplish. Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server???? Tag: 53159

    - SQLAdapter - Insert problem I using a SQLAdapter and Dataset to retrieve and update rows in a single table ... but I do not know how to Insert a new row. The table's key column is a auto generated field so it is read only (and therefore I cannot make changes to it). How do I specify to the SQLAdapter that I want an Insert vs. an update? I haven't tried to delete rows ... but I expect I will have the same problem. Any help on this is appreciated. Thanks! Dave Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server????

    - DataGrid and Highlight row I have a datagrid populated from a dataview and while running a loop, I am able to set the Selected item and change the background colour of the selected item to say Green there by giving the grid a scrolling effect as the loop is processing data rows. Now depending on ceratin conditions I would like permenantly set the background color of currently processed row to say Red etc to indicate an error. I am not able to do this as a Row cannot be specified directly in a datagrid. How can I accomplish this.

    - Animation control and Modal dialogs Hi all. I'm trying a pretty simple thing: show a modal dialog with an animation (AVI file) playing on it. - First problem, I couldn't find any native .net windows form control to do that (at least not part of the original framework) Question: Is there anything simialr in the .net toolbox? - Fine, then I decided to use the good old activeX control "Microsoft Animation Control". I put it in my toolbox then dragged to my form. I wrote the following code: Private Sub Form2_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load With AxAnimation1 .Open("C:\myfolder\myAnimation.avi") .Play() End With End Sub If I show the form modeless, it works perfectly. But if I show it modally, then the animation does not show up. Questions: * Do I have to do something extra? * Is this a known bug/limitation ? * Can I fix/hack it ? For now I made my form TopMost=True and disabled all the other forms but this is less than ideal for me because it shown in front of all the other applications windows as well. I need it to be the foremost form solely in my application. Thanks a lot. TJ! Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server???? Tag: 53139

    - What is the name for this? Whilst coding away on a DataGrid and ComboBox I noticed the following behavior and want to know a) what it's called and b) what's going on internally within the framework. Basically, I did the normal SqlConnection, SqlDataAdapter and DataSet creation for a single table in the Northwind database. I set the DataSource properties of each control to the DataSet then filled it with the SqlDataAdapter during startup. When the form runs, the DataGrid displays the table and the ComboBox displays a corresponding list of product names (ProductName column). So far so good. Now, I haven't added any event handlers for anything. When I select a new product from the ComboBox, the DataGrid will move its selction arrow (that thingy on the left side, whatever its called). Furthermore, if I click on a cell within a row in the DataGrid, the ComboBox will automatically select the correct ProductName from its list of items. In other words, by using the DataSet for 2 different controls they somehow get linked and respond to each other's events. This is pretty cool and came for free. So, what is this behavior called so I can investigate a little further? Is it something to do with BindingContext's? How does the framework connect these 2 and how do they talk to each other (I'm assuming events but how does that connection get made?). Hope someone has an answer.

    - Exceptions not getting propagated across forms. Hi All, Our application is a Windows Forms application on .NET Framework 1.1. We are having the following scenario: 2 Windows forms - Form1 and Form2. On click of a button in the Form1, Form2 is loaded. Now, if an exception is raised in the Form2's load event, it is caught in the try-catch block of the Form2's Load method. When we throw the caught Exception, we expected it to propagate to the calling form (Form1) and get caught there. If we do an F5 (Step-in), the exception raised in Form2 is getting properly propagated to the Form1. But, when I do a CTRL-F5 (run without debug), the exception is not getting propagated to the Form1, The exception is not is getting propagated in the release mode too. Could not understand why this is happening. Is it any know bug in .NET 1.1. Any pointers to a solution for this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and regards, Raga Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server???? Tag: 53134

    - Datagrid: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values Hi: I don't know if this is a .NET bug. The user enters certain values and obtains the results from an array list which is bound to a datagrid. The first time works fine. The second time, when the user changes a value and then re-executes the code, I get this exception "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: rowIndex". I stepped through my code to see where the problem is. After refreshing the datagrid, if I type in the command window ?dg, and then execute the code, it does not give me that exception. the error occurs at this line of code: Dim strInterest as string = Ctype(datagrid.Item(datagrid.CurrentRowIndex,2), String) Any help is welcome.

    - Inheriting Windows Control as Abstract Class Hi, we'd like to define an abstract library class for a windows control, where we specify a couple of abstract methods in order that they must be overridden and implemented differently in each derived class. We've tried creating the base abstract class and the derived class in the main project but this leads to the following error appearing in the designer view of the derived class: "The designer must create an instance of "IamsPack.ctlIamsPackBase" but it can't because the type is declared as abstract" The funny thing is that the designer view displays fine when we first open the solution, and then gives an error after we've run the application from within Visual Studio. I've read in another post that it's more stable to create the base class in a separate library DLL and then add a reference in the main project. But before I do that I'd like confirmation whether there is any problem with making the base class abstract. Any feedback/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    - one .EXE run as application AND as a Service? This is probably an advanced question. But does ANYBODY know if possible, and how, to have one EXE run as both (a) Windows Form Application, and (b) an NT Service. One thought I've had (but not tried yet) is to create a module that inherits from ServiceBase class and to have that instanciate and load the form (Front-end). But at the same time be able to add/remove the service from the CSM. The Plan: To have a GUI where a user can use the application in a normal fashion - the application is essentially a monitor/logging application. I then want the ability to be able to have the application run as a service, or not run as a service - based on the user setting an option in my options screen. If anybody has any source/documentation on how to do something like this, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all, Nate. Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server????

    - Validating and Closing form Sun. Jul. 27, 2003 9:10 PM PST I have a simple windows form with some textbox controls. I am validating these controls in their validating event. Now my problem is if the focus is on the textbox control and it has validating event, and if I want to close the form it always try to validate the control. Whereas I want to discard that particular record and as user wish to close the form so it should close it. but it seems validating event becomes sticky. as it calls enter, gotfocus, leave, validating, validated, lostfocus events in chain. Now even if you put a cancel button and try to set forms CausesValidation property to false, you will not reach to the click of cancel button. Has anyone found any workaround to this problem? User may close the form by clicking on close button, alt + F4, or from menu command. Isn't it a challenging ? Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server???? Tag: 53086

    - Imagelist and PNGs with alpha transparency In my VB.Net application I am using ImageLists to hold images for use by toolbars/treeviews etc. The imagelist.colordepth properties are all set to Depth32Bit, and then the Images collection is loaded with the various PNG images, all at design time. The PNG files all have nice alpha blended edges, and drop shadows. When I run the application from within the VS.Net environment, everything displays as I would expect it to. However, this is not so when the .exe is run manually. If I don't use Application.EnableVisualStyles, then the alpha blended edges are replaced with solid blue pixels around the icons. If I do use Application.EnableVisualStyles, then I get no icons at all! What am I doing wrong? If I use a .manifest file, then it works correctly (irrespective of whether I use Application.EnableVisualStyles or not). I thought that Application.EnableVisualStyles was supposed to fix this sort of thing? Running on Windows XP Pro, and using VS.Net 2003.

A simple example would be FormA with a textbox and a button and FormB with a listbox, both docked with dotnetmagic. When you click on FormA.Button, it should add the text of FormA textbox to FormB Listbox. I cannot figure out how to do this and I really need to. Any help would be great!! Thanks!

    - Overriding key-presses in WinForms DataGrid I have a datagrid and I would like to prevent the users from pressing the left or right key to change cells. I only want the up and down buttons to still work - and I want them to be limited to editing a single column in the datagrid. One thing I originally did was had it so if you pressed left or right, it would refocus on the column I want - but that will cause the CellChange event to trigger twice, which just won't work... Any Ideas? Thanks -Adam Tag: Windows Forms Dynamic Properties - Running on a Web Server???? Tag: 53078

I got in to a situation where we are planning to deploy our WinForms
app in to a web server.
We have dynamic properties already in it, and an XML file to read
certain configurations.
I know that this will give me an exception indicating that it could
not find the the files locally.
Is there a way to run a WinForms app that runs on the web with an
app.config, and an XML file? If so, where would I be able to put it on
the local machine.
