    - Strange ComboBox Behavior I have two ComboBoxes on a form both set to a different datasource. When retrieving the SelectedText from one the other's SelectedItem property goes to -1. If I remove one or the other they work fine independantly. If they were both set to the same datasource I might understand but they are connected to two seperate datasources. Any ideas?

    - No-Touch deployment - IEExec - Duplicate Entries in Assembly Cache - Strongly Typed Datasets - InvalidCastException I've been struggling with a problem using No-Touch Deployment for 10 days now. Searching the newsgroups, I can see that people have been experiencing parts of the problem, but I haven't seen any posts about my particular circumstances. I have a client/server database application. Both Client & Server are running .NET Framework 1.1.4322. The client is a VB.NET winform application. On the server, I run a VB.NET Web Service that accesses a MS ACCESS database and returns Strongly Typed Datasets (STD). The Web Service uses the SOAP serializer to convert the STDs into XML (Marshal By Object) and my VB client app converts the returned SOAP messages back from XML to STD objects. So far, so good. My client/server application works perfectly and is humming along until one day my boss suggests that wouldn't it be good if we distributed the client application using No-Touch Deployment. I place the client app on the server and run it from within Internet Explorer. I start getting Exceptions when I run the client app: "System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid". The exceptions happen only with Web Service methods that return Strongly Typed Datasets (Web Service methods that return untyped Datasets or other types of data work fine). Every now and again, I compile a version of my client app that works. If I recompile again with no changes, the new version doesn't work. A version of myClientApp.exe that works once, always works. A version that doesn't work, I can usually eventually get working eventually by emptying various caches, restarting the server, etc. Once I get the .exe working once, it continues to work. I conclude that it's not my code that is the problem, but something about the assembly & versioning. Following various suggestions on newsgroups: (1) I set the version number manually in AssemblyInfo.vb so it is not automatically incremented with each compile <Assembly: AssemblyVersion("0.0.1.2")> (2) I set the http channel in the Web Service to make sure the SOAP serialization is on: <channel ref="http"> <serverProviders> <provider ref="wsdl" /> <formatter ref="soap" typeFilterLevel="Full" /> <formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel="Full" /> </serverProviders> <clientProviders> <formatter ref="binary" /> </clientProviders> </channel> (3) Whenever I test the application, I clear out both the download assembly cache (with gacutil /cdl) and IE's browser cache. I also reset IIS from time to time. NOW HERE'S THE WEIRD PART. By studying IIS's log, I see that whenever I launch the app using No Touch Deployment, I see that IEExec is making over 20 GET requests of the server. Even though my http request is for myClientApp.exe, IEExec also tries to get myClientApp.exe.config, myClientApp.DLL, myClientApp.resources.DLL, etc. Most of these time out with 404 errors (no wonder it takes so long to launch), but TWO GET requests actually succeed: "myClientApp.exe" and "myClientApp.EXE" (spelled the same but with different case sensitivity). Checking the Global Assembly Cache with gacutil /ldl, I see that there are that two copies identical copies of the assembly (same name & version#). More useful is the IE InvalidExceptionError Window which also shows that there are two copies of myClientApp assembly except one has the lower case extension .exe and the other has the has the upper case .EXE extension. In this newsgroup, I found that it was documented that IEexec (used by No-Touch Deployment) has a side-effect of loading two copies of your assembly: Subject: Assemblies deployed with IE are downloaded multiple times ? http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=OQT8XxHdCHA.1864%40tkmsftngp11&rnum=4&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dduplicate%2Bdownload%2Bassembly%2Bcache%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3DOQT8XxHdCHA.1864%2540tkmsftngp11%26rnum%3D4 RE: No Touch Deployment. http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=eNKAMy9lDHA.2416%40TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl&rnum=2&prev=/groups%3Fq%3DMats-Erik%2BGrundh%2B(nospam%2540co.se)%2B%2BXin%2BHuang%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26selm%3DeNKAMy9lDHA.2416%2540TK2MSFTNGP10.phx.gbl%26rnum%3D2 For some reason, the fact that there are two versions of the assembly (even though they are identical except the case-sensitivity of the .EXE extension) seems to create a type-mismatch when client application tries to deserialize the Strongly Typed Dataset in the SOAP message. Does anyone have any suggestions or idea of what is going on?

Is it absolute required to create a .NET WinForm for each Crystal Reports file? We are developing hundreds of reports. Most of them are very generic.

    - Crystal Report Viewer - data adapter necessary? H I have 1 regular windows form with a datagrid which is populated from an SQL Server with data adapter etc The 2nd form has a Crystal Report Viewer on it. I've created the report.rpt, set the datasource to the DataSet.xsd in the report with the fields where I want them. However, when I run the app and click the button to open the 2nd form with the report on it, only the labels appear on the report; no data fields Q. I've already got the data on the first form. Do I need to code another data adapter in the form with the Crystal Report Viewer to get the data? It seems that I should be able to just use the existing Dataset Thank Tag: How can I see the name of my application when selecting "open with" in explorer Tag: 70527

    - Losing icons from .resx file I'm losing icons from a .resx file, and I'm not sure why. I'm adding the icons using ResEditor (the resource editor that ships unbuilt with VS.Net). I add the icons, save the .resx file, and all seems well. If I reopen the .resx file, the icons are there, just as expected. But after a couple of compiles, the icons are gone. It I reopen the .resx file, they are no longer there. My code doesn't do anything with the .resx files-- it just reads the resources: System.Resources.ResourceManager resources = new System.Resources.ResourceManager(this.GetType()); this.Icon = (System.Drawing.Icon)resources.GetObject("Folder.Icon"); I'm using EnableVisualStyles() in the Main() method, like this: // Enable XP visual style Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.DoEvents(); // Start the application Application.Run(new FormMain()); Can anyone shed any light as to what's going on?

    - .NET Framework form creation/swap-space problem? Hi all, I have a really odd problem with some Visual Basic .NET 2003 code; I have a program that creates a number of windows which contain RichTextBox, Timers (disabled) and menus. The code runs fine and creates the windows as required, BUT if the program is left to do nothing for several hours, when it is brought back into focus it generates an exception error (Object reference not set to instance of an object - this always coincides with a LOT of disk activity) when it tries to access a window handle. The really odd thing is, if the excepton is trapped with a breakpoint, examining the values it's trying to manipulate (and which presumably causes the exception) reveals nothing wrong. The code is: Dim NewForm As New Form2 Dim MyWindowHandle as System.IntPtr NewForm.Show() Try MyWindowHandle = NewForm.Handle ' this occassionally goes "bang" Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Exception") ' by this point, NewForm.Handle has a valid handle in it. End Try If I put a breakpoint on the MsgBox line, when the code generates an exception, NewForm.Handle has a valid value; I can see absolutely no reason why this code causes an exception. The NewForm.Show() works without a problem. I wondered if my code was hitting some resource-limit in XP (like the limit on the number of window handles that existed in Windows 3.1) so I tried running my "create window" code 1,000 times via a loop, and it worked fine. In general ("real") use, the code doesn't get called more than about 30 times. The code is far more likely to crash if it's run in Debug mode via VS itself; if it's compiled in Release mode and run outside of VS, the crashes are less frequent. My theory is that if the program is left doing nothing for several hours, XP or .NET swaps the code to disk and when the program's brought back into focus, it's retrieved from disk but (I'm guessing here) the code starts executing _before_ all the bits and pieces are restored to RAM, hence the exception. By the time the breakpoint is activated, everything's in place and that's why my VS 'watches' on the variables show nothing amiss. If my theory is correct, is there some way a program can test whether it (and its objects) are all present and correct before accessing things like window handles? A couple of other programs I've written also exhibit this problem. Since things like MS Word and Excel don't go horribly wrong when brought into focus, surely there's something Microsoft & others are doing that I'm not (like not writing programs that use the .NET Framework, I suppose ;-) ). Changing the code to look like the following seemed to confirm my theory: Dim NewForm As New Form2 Dim MyWindowHandle as System.IntPtr NewForm.Show() Try MyWindowHandle = NewForm.Handle ' this occassionally goes "bang" Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Exception") ' This gets called fairly often Thread.Sleep(10000) ' sleep 10 seconds Try MyWindowHandle = NewForm.Handle Catch ex As Exception MsgBox("Exception #2") 'This rarely gets called End Try End Try The first "MyWindowHandle = NewForm.Handle" crashes more than the 2nd one, yet they are both the same thing. My PC is running Windows XP Home Edition SP1 with all the latest fixes, I'm using Visual Studio 2003 Standard Edition, with the latest patch (the 75MB one released last year to apply "documentation updates" (75 megabytes of them??)). I'm running Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. My PC has 512MB RAM and an Intel P4 (non-HT) 3.06Ghz CPU. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions, Fiona.

    - Form Loading very slow Hi All I have a Winforms App writing in vb.net IT has a Main MDI Form called frmMain. When ever I create a new object of an existing form and then show it , it takes a long time to render when a child form creates another form object. All I?m doing is calling the form object's show or showDialog methods. This looks very ugly and unprofessional. As a result I?ve had to develop a 'pre' buffer for the forms on startup with a loading sequence as the next time they are called they show instantly. eg. Public Sub PreLoadForms() Dim objFrmClient As New FrmClient Dim objFrmCompany As New FrmCompany ... ... objFrmClient = Nothing objFrmCompany = Nothing End Sub Does any one know why it takes so long to render a form if it?s called from a child form?

    - Need help with a Virtual ListView I have a need for a virtual ListView control in C# -- one that allows very large numbers of entries in it, without a linearly increasing penalty for adding more items. I found a suitable example at http://www.windowsforms.com/ControlGallery/ControlDetail.aspx?Control=214&tabindex=9 It has come in extremely handy for one of my C# projects. One of the problems I am facing is that I am unable to draw an image in the first (or any other) column. I can set the text (in any column) just fine. But I have been unable to set an image, despite implementing the QueryItemImage callback, in which I set the image index to 0. A blank image is displayed. Image lists (small, large, and state) are all set. Any ideas on how one might get around this, or if there are any workarounds/hints for this?

    - Listview Item.Selected not populating Listview.SelectedItems collection Hi, I'm having some trouble getting the Listview.Items[0].Selected = true to populate the SelectedItems collection. The code that I'm using is: CtrlTransferSettings tester = CtrlTransferSettings() if (pos < tester.lstStrings.Items.Count) { tester.lstStrings.Focus(); tester.lstStrings.Items[0].Selected = true; tester.lstStrings.Select(); } What's happening is that the SelectedItems.Count is staying at 0, even after setting Items[0].Selected to true. While in debug mode, if I go look at the "Autos" listing and drill-down to the lstStrings.SelectedItems.Count property it updates itself and then lists the count as 1 and everything works correctly. But, it will only update if I drill down the 'autos list' in debug-mode. If I just run the code, the count always stays at 0. Is this a bug in the ListView control? Or am I missing a step?

Please let me know if anything is wrong 1. launch VS.Net, select C# windows app 2. drop a button on the form 3. d-click on the button to its onclick handler, pu Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCurso Now, F-5 and click on button - nothing happens. Now if I call into a method on the form, and d this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor // inside the for It does turn the cursor to hourglass. However it does not disable user inputs as they claim. So how can I set hourglass at application level, and disable user inputs at hourglass, without using unmanaged API as the good old days?

    - 2 comboboxes with the same datasource act as 1. Help I have 2 instances of a user control on a windows form. Each user control has a combobox. I have set the datasource for each combobox to the same collection of objects. I would expect these two comboboxes to act completely independently, but with the same selections available. What I am seeing, however, is that if I change the selected value of one combobox, that the selected value of the other combo box changes as well. Does anybody out there know what is going on? Is this just a bug in the framework, or is it designed to do this intentionally when using the same datasource? Thanks.

    - Winform app not opening from browser Hello, we are having a strange problem and thought I would see if anyone could provide some insight. We have a winform app deployed via the "No-Touch Deployment" model. The problem is that we have 1 user (so far) who is navigating to it from a web page (we actually do a window.open from the web page), and they just get a blank Internet Explorer page. Now, if you refresh the page, it actually seems to display the binary characters of the exe. It appears that IE is not handing off to IEExec.exe, because if the user actually runs IEExec.exe <URL to the exe>, the application starts up. I have no idea what to do in this situation except re-install either the Framework or Internet Explorer. Any ideas? I couldn't find anything on google. Details: Framework Version: 1.1 Operating System: Windows 2000 (latest service packs, etc.) IE Version: 5.5 (I know it has a service pack) Thanks for any help or ideas. -Mike Tag: How can I see the name of my application when selecting "open with" in explorer Tag: 70466

    - how to pass DataSet to modal form? Hi, My main form shows a datagrid with data and I want to open a modal dialog with bound controls on it when the user double-clicks a row. Both forms have an instance of my typed dataset and the controls on the dialog are bound to its dataset. I pass the row I want to the dialog and use DataSet.Merge to add the row to the dialog's DataSet. At this point the row is Unchanged, which is OK. As an example, let's assume a column holds the value "11". After typing "22" in the bound textbox, the value is "22", but the RowState is still Unchanged. Moreover, the DataRowVersion.Original version of that column is "11" as expected ! So it's changed but unchanged !? Any ideas?

    - Strange DataTable problem (with eventhandled rowchanging) I'm trying to create dt table with rowchanging eventhandler to assing default value to "ProductNro" column. if (e.Action == DataRowAction.Add) { Guid id = (Guid)e.Row["ContainerID"]; DataTable dt = (DataTable)sender; DataView dv = dt.DefaultView; dv.RowFilter = "ContainerID=" + "'" + e.Row["ContainerID"] + "'"; dv.RowStateFilter = DataViewRowState.CurrentRows; dt.Columns["PacketNro"].DefaultValue = dv.Count; } It works almost, the problem is that the first new row doesn't get the default value. It gets just a null value, but if I remove this row and insert new one (in DataGrid) then it starts to calculate rows correcly and gets the correct "ProductNro". It's not a problem if there is no rows already in DataTable but since you have to add new Products in old invoices then you get again the null problem. How this is possible that the first row gets null but rows after first one gets correct values? I have tested and found out that when first row is added DataTable seems to be empy (row.count) but it still shows correctly rows on my DataGrid.

    - Datagrid Issues I'm currently trying to develop a solution containing a bound DataGrid that allows insert and update functions. I'm having 2 problems that i'd appreciate some help with. The first problem is where I have a primary key field that I don't want users to be able to modify. The obvious solution is to configure the column to be read only. However, then when a user tries to insert a record, that column is still read only and so nothing can be entered. The second problem i'm having is to do with validation. I have a RowChanging event on the underlying DataTable that validates the data and if there are any problems uses SetColumnError to flag the issue to the user. I also have a Validating event on the DataGrid that I use to confirm that there are no errors before a user can leave the grid. The problem is that the RowChanging and Validating events both fire at the same time. So that if a value is changed to an invalid value and then the grid is left, the value has not been flagged as an error when the Validating event runs. I hope I have explained these issues well enough. Any help or suggestions would be welcomed. Tag: How can I see the name of my application when selecting "open with" in explorer Tag: 70441

    - After Load Event? Hi all, I was looking for the equivalent of an "after load" event to fire when I load a windows form. I'm opening an additional form in the first form's load event, the problem is the form will open before the first form is displayed and thus display behind the first form. I can code around this, but is there obvious event that I am missing to have instructions processed after the first form is rendered?
