    - RichTextBoxFinds & StringComparison I try to transforma RichTextBoxFinds into a StringComparison. Basically I hae 2 flag I'm looking at: RichTextBoxFinds.WholeWord & RichTextBoxFinds.MatchCase Now, if I'm looking at String comparion the doc says: "The StringComparison enumeration is used to specify whether a string comparison should use the current culture or the invariant culture, word or ordinal sort rules, and be case-sensitive or case-insensitive." 3 binary option => that should gives me 8 option! but there are only 6 :-/ If I forget about case I'm left with: StringComparison.CurrentCulture StringComparison.InvariantCulture StringComparison.Ordinal I'm thinking to the following mapping: if RichTextBoxFinds.WholeWord is Set => StringComparison.CurrentCulture if RichTextBoxFinds.WholeWord is NOT Set => StringComparison.InvariantCulture what do you think?

    - ColumnChanging event and boolean data type in Datagrid, BUG? Hello everyone, It's not getting better, the more I delve into it, the more frustrated I get. But it should be a simple thing, after all, all I'm trying to do is put some data validation code for a column of a table. To understand the problem more clearly I used 'Products' table of the Northwind databse. I made a simple form that shows all the column of the table. There is a 'bit' field in the table called 'Disontinued'. I wrote the following code to incorporate some 'business logic' in the ColumnChanging event for the table. --------------------------- if (e.Column.ColumnName == "Discontinued" && (bool)e.ProposedValue) { if ((short)e.Row["UnitsInStock"] >= 0) throw new Exception("You can not discontinue this product"); } ---------------------------- Several things happen when I try to do the change in the datagrid some of which are more severe than others. When I 'tick' the corresponding field with a mouse and istead of taking the mouse focus from the field press 'tab' to take the input focus somewhere else, the whole thing crashes. Am I supposed to handle the exception that I threw? Apparently not! When I use the mouse to take the focus somewhere else, a message is shown with my exception and the grid behaves properly. Again, when I use mouse to go to another row on the same column (i.e. Discontinued), the grid behaves exactly the way I want, the column gets reset to its original 'unticked' state after I answer 'No' to the question asked by the grid. But if I click on some other column on the same row or in another row and give the same 'No' answer to the same question, the column value does not get reset, it takes the newly 'ticked' state, even though I threw the exception. Did anyone experience similar kind of problem? I would really appreciate if someone answers me. Thanks in advance. Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95347

    - Dataset Merge Issues When marshalling changes into a dataset and calling the update on this dataset, you want to merge the result back into the orginal dataset. This appears not to work when you modify any of the Primary Key columns (please no lectures on modifying the primary key :-) ). By not working, I mean I get duplicate rows. When I do not modify the PK, I do not get duplicate rows. The below are two sets of results from tracing through a modification of tblPackageProduct. The first four columns make up the primary key. By looking at the original and current values of the first set, you can see the Original values are different so that should explain that. However, on the 2nd second set of results there is no reason the changes dataset and original dataset should not merge correctly (no duplicates). The only explanation I can come up with is dataset merge will not work when the PK is modified -- even if the values match up perfectly. Can anyone explain this? I thought a solution might be to drop the PK before marshalling the changes of the dataset and then reestablishing them after the merge and accept changes. This way I could verify the PK is a factor or not. I could not test test this since tblPackageProduct.PrimaryKey.Clear while hopeful did not work for me. Bill (see results below) ************************************************* (again 1st four columns make up the PK) tblPackageProduct (original dataset) (after modifications) Original: 284 -- GRAD -- 10x14 -- 40 -- 1 -- 1 -- 0 -- False -- Modified Current: 284 -- GRAD -- 4Wall -- 22 -- 4 -- 4 -- 0 -- False â??

    - Multiplied MdiChild caption entry while restoring MdiParent from SysTry Hi All! My MDI application can be minimized easily to system try with use of NotifyIcon but I encounter two strange problems. Wrong caption settings is subject of this message. Problem description: when I do restore main form (MdiParent) to its original state through one of NotifyIcon events, setting Visible property to true and last non minimized WindowState causes form to restore properly, however, on the caption there are multiple entries for the only existing MdiChild i.e.: "MdiParent Text" - ["MdiChild Text"] ["MdiChild Text"] ["MdiChild Text"] Obviously it's very easy to correct this by setting right text in MdiParent and clearing MdiChild text every it's needed, however, this breaks handling of MdiChild Text property in menus and many other places. This problem or bug occurs only in .NET v1.1 while .NET v2.0 works fine. Unfortunately I have to support old runtime for some time in future, as many of our customers will not move to .NET v2.0 very fast. Googling in the whole net for several hours was fruitless so my only hope remains currently with You. Any ideas or workarounds? Cheers Jacek Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95340

    - webbrowser synchronous navigate We are using the webbrowser control, and we need to synchronously load a page. I don't see anything that does that. Is there any kind of cues for me to be able to do that or some function I'm missing? Basically we're writing out a temporary file (pdf) and then having it displayed in the browser. And then when a particular method is called, we want to unload this file and delete it. I'm calling navigate to "about:blank" but it doesn't seem to happen immediately so the delete call on the file is failing because it's still in use. Anybody know of how I should go about this?

    - Modal Forms Hi Everyone, I am working in VB.NET, Framework v.1.0. I have tons of forms in my application. I have a situation, where a form starts another form as a Modal Dialog. The Modal Dialog then possibly starts another form as Modal Dialog. Thus, if the main form is frmMain, and the other two forms are frmOne and frmTwo, then frmMain calls frmOne.ShowDialog(me) and frmOne calls frmTwo.ShowDialog(me). My problem is that when frmTwo is closed or hidden, frmOne also closes or hides. I would like to prevent this from happening. I tried setting the forms TopMost. I tried using the SetWindowsPos API call to mess with the Z-Order of the forms. I tried to just use the frm.Show() method and attempt to emulate a Modal dialog with trickery. Nothing seems to quite accomplish what I am trying to do. Can someone please help? Thanks, dmitry Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95332

    - Data Disappearing From DataGrid Cell Using .Net 2002, Framework 1.0, and a DataGrid whose DataSource is a DataTable in a DataSet. I add one row by keying in some data in a column: normal behavior. At this point I do not call DataAdapter.Update because I have a second row to enter. I tab to a new row in the grid. In the new row, I also key in some data in the same column; when I tab out of that column the keyed data disappears and the cursor remains in the original column. I have confirmed that none of my own event handlers are firing. Any help would be most appreciated. TC Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95328

    - Need code / hints to do "masked" currency input Hi everyone, I need code to do a simple masked textbox entry for input of currency. The requirements are... 1) Should support localization, 2) Should reject invalid keystrokes on a keystroke by keystroke basis, 3) Should reject valid keystrokes that result in an invalid currency value (input of " $2.345" USD for example) Nice to have would be... 4) Min / Max values 5) ability to input fractional cents / pesos etc. if desired I can't seem to find this anyplace. I've found this type of functionality in some of the third pary control suites, but I don't need anything as complex / expensive as these look. If I have to write it myself, I'm open to sugestions as to how I can do this and still use the .Net localization features. My current thought is to... 1) Make a custom textbox class that has a static string value that contains a regex pattern that each keystroke should match. The pattern to match will be determined by examining CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.NumberFormat.CurrencyDecimalDigits and CurrencyDecimalSeparator. I'm hoping the total number of regex patterns is pretty small ( I only know of decimal and non-decimal currencies overall, and only "." and "," as decimal separators - that only gives me four total patterns if I don't consider fractional inputs) Plus I can always build my regex pattern dynamically). 2) Validate the input string against the regex pattern on each keystroke. "handle" any keystrokes that break the regex. Any help is appreciated. BBM Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95314

    - Framework 1.1 /2.0 Controls Hosted in Internet Explorer Hi All, I have a windows forms controls hosted in IE via the object tag method. The control was built to run on 1.1 of the framework and works fine whilst version 2.0 is not installed on the machine. When version 2 is installed the executables are downloaded to the 2.0 temporary directory, even though the assemblies where build under 1.1 and are referencing the 1.1 framework. That is, when 2.0 is installed they are downloaded to Documents & Settings\<CurrentUser>\Local Settings\Application Data\assembly\dll3 instead of Documents & Settings\<CurrentUser>\Local Settings\Application Data\assembly\dll2. Could anyone tell me if there is a setting to force IE to use the 1.1 temp download cache? Or is it another assembly setting? TIA Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95288

    - MVC delegate problem... In order to become more familiar with the Model-View-Controller pattern, I have written a demo where each View is a plugin and the plugins are loaded at startup from the plugins directory. When the View's are loaded they add themselves to the DataModel View list... FDataModel.AddView(this); Where AddView looks like this... public void AddView( MvcView view ) { ViewChanged += new ViewChangedHandler(view.DataModified); } and at the right time I invoke the event list via... ViewChanged(this, e); This all works fine as long as I only have 1 instance of each type of view. So in this case I have a Pie Chart View and Bar Chart view of the data ( as well as the usual DataGrid view all as plugins ). Then the delegates correctly fire and everything works as advertised. The problem arises if I instantiate a second instance of say the Bar Chart. When that happens the first Bar Chart stops responding/refreshing while the second Bar Chart updates correctly. Can any C# pattern gurus shed some light on what I might have overlooked? Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95274

    - ComboBox.SelectedIndex behavior I am using a combobox in an application that is databound to a datatable. The visible item in the combobox corresponds to the job classification of an employee: accountant, manager, etc. Due to data entry errors, some employees do not have a classification in the db. For these entries, I want the combobox to display nothing. I accomplish this by setting the combobox's selectedIndex property to -1. In doing so, I encountered some interesting behavior. setting SelectedIndex = -1 always sets the SelectedIndex to 0, UNLESS the SelectedIndex is already 0 or -1. (example) myComboBox.SelectedIndex = -1; produces a SelectedIndex of 0. myComboBox.SelectedIndex = -1; myComboBox.SelectedIndex = -1; or myComboBox.SelectedIndex = -0; myComboBox.SelectedIndex = -1; produces a SelectedIndex of -1. Is this the expected behavior of this control, or is this a bug in the control? I'm using VS.NET 2003 and .NET 1.1. Thank you, John Kraft Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95253

    - How to specify new DataRow as selected row in sorted DataGrid I'm using c#, my DataTable is the datasource for a DataGrid, and the key in the DataTable, "ID" column, is an autoincrement number The Datagrid is not editable, data is added to the DataTable programatically. When I add a new DataRow to a DataTable using: dr =DataTable.NewRow(); ..code to fill the row.. dataAdapter.Update(DataTable); I can get the ID of the new DataRow using @@IDENTITY as shown in the post "Getting Autoincrement ID in ADO.NET".

    - Want a multi-line row in DataGridView Greetings, I am working on a ledger-style display using the DataGridView. I have found a couple of ridiculously complicated ways that I can display a second-line of information (all from the same DataRow) in the DataGridView, but I was wondering what the recommended approach for this is. The DGV is supposedly far more configurable than its WinForms 1.1 predecessor, but lately I'm finding that I'm going to have to write almost as much hacking code for the DGV as I did for the DataGrid. Does anyone have a sample of a way in which I can display 2 lines of data in a DataGridView? My first approach was to create custom columns that had a cell type that displayed two lines of data, but I wasn't sure how to get that to work well within edit mode and read mode, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    - ClickOnce settings disappear I have deployed my application with ClickOnce, and it works fine. There are a couple of user settings that the user is allowed to change through a settings form. Also works fine. BUT, when I did the most recent deploy all user settings were erased and set back to their default values. NOT FINE! I quote from the blog on: http://blogs.msdn.com/rprabhu/articles/433979.aspx "Q: Okay, but how do I know when to call Upgrade? A: Good question. In Clickonce, when you install a new version of your application, ApplicationSettingsBase will detect it and automatically upgrade settings for you at the point settings are loaded. In non-Clickonce cases, there is no automatic upgrade - you have to call Upgrade yourself. ....." So, normally the sepcified user settings should be upgraded automatically, and I am pretty sure I got that behaviour before. What can I possible have done? How can I get it back?

    - Maximize and resize Windows Dear all, I am a newby of .NET programming and I have a general question. If I put some controls on a windows form (say with size 300,400), when I resize the Window (enlarging it) or if I Maximize it, the controls remain in the top left corner in the rectangle 300,400 making the whole form look very bad. If I resize Notepad, the multiline textbox within resizes too... I'd like my applications do the same. Are there techniques, articles, tutorials or something like that, that can explain me how to handle this? Thanks in advance. JC Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95232

    - FormView / GridView Connection If someone could help... My goal is to attach a FormView control to a GridView control such that clicking the Select link on a record in the GridView will cause that record to be displayed in the FormView control. So far I've got the GridView displaying all the correct records, and the FormView populating on the page's initial load. The FormView has its own data source - it points to the same table the GridView uses, but has a 'where' clause that refers back to the GridView control on two fields. The datasource has default values for those two fields, and the data that is displayed on the initial page load reflects the record whose keys equal the default values. So far, so good. When I click another line's Select link, the page repaints, but the FormView control is empty. Viewing the source I can see its skeleton, but no content. I've breakpointed at the control's PreRender function, and the DataItem is populated on the initial page load, but is null on the postback. I'm sure I'm missing something fairly basic. Can I get a point in the right direction? Thanks, Ben -- bf001removethis@abovetheline.biz Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95231

    - Problem creating controls from other thread w/ invoke Hi, I have a form which acts as monitor for a service. The form and the monitor communicate via remoting. Because it takes some time for the service to startup some controls are added to the form when a certain event is raised by the service. However, when handling this event I do the following: --------- snip --------- private void EventProxy_Initialized(object sender, EventArgs e) { MethodInvoker invoker = new MethodInvoker(this.CreateCommunicatorControls); this.Invoke(invoker); } private void CreateCommunicatorControls() { // create controls and add them to a panel on the form this.panelCommunicator.Controls.Add(newCommCtrl); [...] } --------- snip --------- The panel on the form is created from the main UI thread of the form., but I still get the exception "Controls created on one thread cannot be parented to controls on a different thread" when adding the new control to the panel. Does anybody know what the problem is? Regards, Michael Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95226

    - How to show fields from related tables in same datagrid I run VS .Net 2003. I have a distributed application with sql server 2000 and windows front end, written in c#. I have a number of tables in a dataset with relations between them. In one single read-only datagrid I would like to display child rows from a child table as well as one column from the parent table. How can I fix this in an easy way? I thought I could handle this via dataviews and dataviewmanager as source for the datagrid, but I have not found any good article. I need a detailed explanation as I am a novice on this. I realize I could produce a new table on the windows client from the two related tables, but as I consider the data structure to be well designed this is not what I would like to do.

    - How to draw a 1 pixel long line using Graphics.DrawLine? I am writing a Windows Forms application graphing routine using VS.NET 2003, Visual C# and .NET Framework 1.1. The Graphics.DrawLine(Pen,int,int,int,int) method seems to work okay unless the desired line being drawn is only one pixel long (horizontally). I have not found a way to get a horizontal line of only one pixel to be drawn. I either get no line or a two pixel line. Example method calls: Graphics.DrawLine( Pen, 20, 50, 21, 50 ); // Results in two pixel long line. Graphics.DrawLine( Pen, 20, 50, 20, 50 ); // Results in no pixels being drawn. So how do I get a one pixel long line? Thanks, Dave Tag: how to hide owned window? Tag: 95205
