    - Automating Word I have managed to automate word with a template of my choice in C# but what I want to do is for particular things to happen in my code after the word document is saved and nothing to happen if the document is not saved. Is it possible to do this using the interop assemblies, C# and Word? Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53441

    - Sending a custom Windows message Hi, can anybody tell me if there is a way to define and send a custom windows message to a window and to specify a handler function for it in C#? The reason I'm asking this is following - I use some 3d party component that start its own threads. When my command is executed by this component it invokes my callback in the context of its thread. But I need to somehow update my GUI after that. I can't access my GUI controls from this callback (get an exception - wrong thread or something like that), so I thought that if I could place a message into my app's message queue then I could handle this situation properly. Thanks in advance! Regards, Dmitry. Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53428

    - clear all errors with ErrorProvider I want to use a single ErrorProvider for my entire form by adding control/error combinations using: myErrorProvider.SetError(textBox1, errorMessage1); myErrorProvider.SetError(textBox2, errorMessage2); This works with no problems. However, I want to be able to easily clear *all* errors that the provider is bound to. I realize that I can set do this via the following: myErrorProvider.SetError(textBox1, ""); myErrorProvider.SetError(textBox2, ""); ...but since there will be a lot of controls on the page I'm hoping there's some way to simply clear all. myErrorProvider.Clear(); //alas, i know this doesn't exist... anyone have any suggestions?

    - Performance issue: integrating WinForm app with legacy COM DLLs We've noticed that invocations of legacy C++ COM DLLs from .NET (Managed C++ or C#) desktop applications is quite a bit slower than the same calls from good old native C++. Does anybody have specific information about why this would be the case? How about performance numbers, benchmarks, etc? Any suggestions to speed up the connection between new .NET code and legacy C++? Thanks for your help - Steve Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53417

    - 2nd Repost: Problem Retrieving DataSet Returned By A WebService... anyone from Microsoft or anyone with solution? Hi, I'm working on a project which includes WebServices and Windows Form application. The Windows Form application will call the WebServices to retrieve data from database. The data will be returned as DataSet. Now, here's the problem. On .NET Framework 1.1, if any rows in the dataset returned contain errors (marked by calling the SetColumnError() method or setting the RowError property of the DataRow), I get the following error message in the Windows Form application, "There is an error in XML doument (1,xxxxxxx)" If I forced the Windows Form application to run on .NET Framework 1.0, everything works fine. Is this a bug? Or I need to make some code adjustment because of changes to the Framework? Here's the partial code for the WebService project Code: <WebMethod()> _ Public Function RetrieveDataSet() As DataSet Dim ds As New DataSet Dim dt As New DataTable Dim row As DataRow Dim i As Integer dt.TableName = "TestTable" dt.Columns.Add("TestColumn1", GetType(String)) dt.Columns.Add("TestColumn2", GetType(Integer)) ds.DataSetName = "TestDataSet" ds.Tables.Add(dt) For i = 0 To 10 row = dt.NewRow row("TestColumn1") = "This is row " & i row("TestColumn2") = i dt.Rows.Add(row) ' The following code trigger the error after the DataSet ' is returned to the calling Window Form application row.SetColumnError("TestColumn1", "Error message here") Next Return ds End Function For the Windows Form application, you need to insert a datagrid control (assumed as datagrid1). It will look something like this, Code: Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load Dim ws As localhost.Service1 Dim ds As DataSet Try ws = New localhost.Service1 ds = ws.RetrieveDataSet Me.DataGrid1.SetDataBinding(ds.Tables(0), "") Catch ex As Exception MsgBox(ex.Message) Finally If (Not (ws Is Nothing)) Then ws.Dispose() End If End Try End Sub I really hope someone could help me out with this one. Thanks in advance. ps: Please, before anyone reply to state that I did not choose the appropriate groups when making this post a crossposts post, please know that I'm currently in blind on what is causing this error. Is it the WebService? or is it the ADO .Net? or is it Windows Form application? or is it VB .Net? Well, it has something to do with WebService as it only happens to the DataSet returned by WebService. It also has something to do with ADO .Net as I'm using DataSet. And it definitely has something to do with Windows Form application as if I force the Windows Form application project to run on .Net Framework 1.0, everything works fine.

    - override DataGrid.BeginInit () I need to override DataGrid.BeginInit() (and DataGrid.EndInit()). They are inherited from the interface ISupportsInitialize. Here's how the documentation declares BeginInit: public virtual void BeginInit(); But when the following code: public class MyDataGrid : DataGrid { public override void BeginInit () {} } produces this compiler error: 'MyDataGrid.BeginInit()' : cannot override inherited member 'System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid.BeginInit()' because it is not marked virtual, abstract, or override What am I missing?

    - Delete Datgrid's Last Row, Click on the grid again, Get the Exception. Hi All, I am using a custom collection (inherits collection base) and set it as the datasource of the Datagrid. Everything works great except when I delete the last row. WHEN I CLICK ON LAST ROW ON THE GRID IT GIVES THE FOLLOWING ERROR : "An UNHANDLED exception has occured in your application.If U click Continue ,the application will ignore the error and attempt to continue. If u click quit , the application will be shut down immediately. Index was outside the bounds of the array!." The title of the messagebox is 'error when committing the row to the original datastore'. Im wondering how its going to commit the row to the original datastore when its a custom collection of software objects??? THE BUG happens EXCATLY when I delete the LAST ROW in the grid then try to click anywhere in the grid!. private void btnDeleteReference_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { if(referenceCollection.Count>0) { if(dgReferences.CurrentRowIndex >=0) { referenceCollection.RemoveReferenceAt(dgReferences.CurrentRowIndex,App.Connection ); //dgReferences.CurrentRowIndex=0; dgReferences.DataSource = null; dgReferences.DataSource = referenceCollection; dgReferences.Refresh(); //int i= referenceCollection.Count-1; try { this.dgReferences.CurrentRowIndex = 0; } catch(Exception exxx){} //dgReferences.CurrentRowIndex = referenceCollection.Count-1; } } } I've tried with several combinations of assigning a valid integer to CurrentRowIndex ptoprty of the grid (Commented lines) to avoid the error. Still it throws the exception telling Invalid index, index should be non-negative or less than the bounds of the collection. I tried to catch the exception while assiging an integer to the currentRowIndx property, then too, exception is thrown by the Application's Main form, parent of my Form. What is this??? I found somewhere on the NET that this is a bug in MS Datagrid. But the worst thing is that even the SelectedIndex property is failing to work. I AM REALLLY FRUSTRATED!! Please help me out! :-( Thanks in advance, Sheetal Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53405

    - TabControl & ComboBox Need to have same ComboxBox in two Tab Pages of a Tab Control so that both pages would exhibit same behavour for Combo events. Modifying the InitializeComponent() to add the combo to both the pages did not work. However dynamically adding the Combo to the selected page on tabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged event worked. Is this the right approch? Can I have two seperate combo and sort of set one equal to the other so that both Combos exhibit same behaviour for its events with out duplicating the code (event handlers etc) Thanks, Rajesh Abraham Chacko Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53400

    - Icons and Listviews I've got a series of items in a listview that contain icons in the first column. These icons are basically squares of specific colors (i.e. red, yellow, dark gray). When one of the items is selected and subsequently highlighted, the selected color is also applied to the icon, changing it to dark gray. I was wondering it it were possible to allow the user to select and highlight an item, while maintaining teh color of the icon. Or, in other words, disable selection and highlighting on the first column. Hacks and inelegant workarounds will also be accepted! Thanks, Chris Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53366

    - Transfer an event to a different control Hi A simple question: I have a form with a ListBox and a RichTextBox. The user selects the list box and types some characters. I am trapping KeyPress events on the list box, and want to simulate having the rich text box receive that key press, so that the characters would also appear in the text box. I don't want to alter the text of the text box programatically with SelectedText=, because the text box is also taking care of the effect of backspace and other key presses. I believe that if one control contains another, the event is passed up the container hierarchy until it is handled, so I could set Enabled=false. But how can I transfer the event between peer controls, and can this be done in managed code? Many thanks for your help, James Carlyle Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53364

I am specifically interested in how to: 1) See if .NET is installed and install if necessary 2) See if a database is installed (MSDE) and install if necessary 3) How to create program groups and short cuts for the START Menu 4) How to see if there is a previous version of software on the machine and overwrite, not the default of uninstall and then install.

    - WebBrowser ctrl: switch off context menu in C#? Hi, I am using the AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser web browser control in my windows forms application in C# and I would like to switch off the context menu of the browser. Currently, I only found a solution for c/c++: It seems that one has to implement the IDocHostUIHandler interface, which should be defined in the mshtml assembly. Apparently, it is not there. Any ideas? Other solutions welcome as well! Thanks in advance, Guenter Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53345

    - Long drawing loop cancellation Thinking about a standard "silly" problem of giving a user an option to cancel long drawing loop, I read a lot of articles and did some investigations of my own. (I work with C# .Net 2003). My application must provide a very sophisticated drawing, which is actually a millions-length sequence of simple line or ellipse drawings executed in a very long loop. Naturally, I'd like to give a user an option to cancel the drawing. I have a number of rather bad solutions and I don't see any acceptable one. The Solutions are: 1. The drawing loop is execute in the UI thread and calls DoEvents() to allow "Cancel" button to be pressed. The downside is well known (see DoEvents() method adoption discussions) ? UI thread is busy and natural events sequence is broken. 2. The drawing loop is executed not in the UI thread. The downside is seldom exceptions. Generally, as I know, .Net does not allow drawing from non UI thread. 3. The drawing loop is executed not in the UI thread but all drawing operations are executed in the UI thread by calling Invoke for each elementary drawing operation. Theoretically, this must be the correct schema! . The downside is that Invoke() is a very expensive call, so it works inappropriately long (see table below). 4. Using memory-stream metafile for buffering. Actually, this is not what I need; in addition, it works even longer then #3. Here is the execution time comparative graph for different implementations of a loop with 2,000,000 drawing lines on my PC. 1. Execution in the UI thread (without DoEvents() calling) - time 00:00:04.6250592 (given as 1) and no "Cancel" available 2. Execution in the UI thread (calling DoEvents() on each step) - 00:00:10.5937500 (2.3 times longer) 3. Execution in a non UI thread (calling Invoke() for each drawing operation) - 00:05:41.560314 (73.8 times longer) 4. Drawing in memory-metafile (no DoEvents() or Invoke() ) - execution time 00:05:06.7153993 (66.3 times longer) Of course, 5 minutes instead of 5 seconds is too much for such a common task (a long loop cancellation). Any suggestions will be deeply appreciated. Alex Tag: I need to open a WMF file from VB.NET Tag: 53342

    - Cannot find CrystalReportViewer control I did a full installation on VB .NET version 7.0 and .NET framework 1.0. I tried to find the CrystalReportViewer in the Toolbox but I couldn't. I also tried to look for it in Tools/customize toolbox but still weren't successful. Is it something to do with the VB .NET standard version or enterprise version? Also I found some control called CrystalReport, but it is not mentioned in the .NET document. What's the difference between this one and CrystalReportViewer? Thanks in advance.

    - Newbie 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 .

    - Transparency Problems I am attempting to wrap-up development cycle and have arrived at the point where "small annoyances" can no longer be avoided<g>. I notice that other applications windows (i.e. from other apps) "bleeding through" the UI from time to time. Now the "strange" thing is that the "underneath app" that always "bleeds through" is Internet Explorer. I am at a loss as to how to proceed since I have done nothing "knowingly" to enable any sort of transparency, all TransparencyKey values have been left to their default values.

    - Floating window for Office add-in? Hi, I'm developing a Microsoft Word add-in using VB.Net. It contains a custom non-modal dialog box, built from a Windows Form. The form should float above the active document in Word, similar to the behavior of the Find and Replace dialog in Word. In VB.Net, this can be achieved by setting the floating form's Owner property to the lower form: Dim Form as New Form2 Form.Owner = Me Form.Show() However, this doesn't work here since the "owner" is a Microsoft Word window, rather than a .Net Windows Form. Also, I can't just use the .TopMost property for my form, because that will cause it to float above _every_ window on the screen (including other applications.) Is there a way (probably through an API call) to make my form float above the active Microsoft Word document, but not other documents or applications?

Open where? Display the image or opening it with the associated
application or manipulate it?
