    - Obtain default curtom control size Hi, I just wonder if someone can help me: I've built a custom UserControl which i use in several apps. Is there a way to obtain it's size (height, width) without actually creating it? Do i need to use reflection to invoke Size property or is there an easier way?

    - MessageBox and Focus I have a message box that pops up when there is a problem after a user clicks on a button. After the user clicks OK on the message box, I need the focus to return to a different control (a textbox). Intuitively, you would think the line MyTextbox.Focus after the MessageBox.Show line would do the the trick. Howerver, focus always returns to the control that initiated the show method. Any focus method after that is ignored. Can anyone tell me how to overide this behaviour? -- wr Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82247

    - Watcher of called methods in C# Hi could you help me to find out how can I watch which method is called in some object? I would like to do functionality that shows in dialog window (Windows forms) a proggres bar while in backgroun window runs some functionality like loading or updating data in form. Yes I can do this by showing Wait cursor to users but this is for me not enought.;) I would like to do that easiest as posible for implementation on existing code. So I have some idea to have a "listener" thats hooks on Form object and listen to method calls with specified custom Attribute on methods that are doing loading or other app freeze functionality. And I look if a method has my attribute and if is true I show up dilaog window with progres bar. Could you help me find out which object can listen to method calls or if you have some other solution on my problem? Thanks a lot Frankie Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82243

    - Control Addition safety handling I was curious about the following scenario but couldn't find the exact handling using disassembler: What happens if an instance of a control already added in the Controls collection of a form is added again? Is there a reference check on each control addition to handle the said scenario? It is possible that there is a reference checking since the OnControlAdded event is not raised for the second time. Anyone who can shed some light on the said handling? Thanks a lot! Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82239

    - Label with Transparent Background I need to have text displayed over a picturebox with an image in it. When using a label whose BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Transparent, the background is not transparent. I came across this explanation as to why .Net does not support transparent backgrounds. ************ [In Visual Basic 6.0, the BackStyle property of the Label control determined whether the label had a transparent background. Setting the BackStyle property to 0 â?? Transparent allowed any background image or other controls to show through the label. In Visual Basic .NET, the BackStyle property no longer exists, and the transparency behavior is slightly different. To emulate the transparent behavior in Visual Basic .NET, set the BackColor property to System.Drawing.Color.Transparent. This will allow the background image to show through, but it will not be transparent in regard to other controls.] ********************** The last phrase is mindboggling, " . . . but it will not be transparent in regards to other controls." What good it is then??? Why would any lanquage designer not support such a useful property? How do I get a label to have a true transparent background??

    - Inheritance in forms which inherit template forms I have this "template" form which is based on System.Windows.Forms.Form. I created a new form(the derived form) which inherits this form. I have observed that if, at runtime, I run through all of the controls in the controls collection of the "template" form, I can have access to all the controls that exist in the derived form! Now this seems odd to me; why should a base class have the controls of a class above it (the derived form), in its controls collection. Certainly I would expect the class derived from the template to see all the controls on the base class but not the other way around. -- Michael Hockstein Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!?

    - Problem with FileSystemWatcher/Tray Notifier App Hi, I've been developing an application in VB.NET that uses the FileSystemWatcher and a popup notification in order to tell me when files have been downloaded. The FileSystemWatcher code in my project is basically the same one thats floating all over the VB.NET sites (by Jayesh Jain). The popup notification (called TaskbarNotifier) is a class originally by John O'Byrne written in C# and C++ but ported to VB.NET by Patrick Vanden Driessche. It was downloaded from codeproject.com. Both of these elements (FileSystemWatcher and TaskBarNotifier) work perfectly on the own but I experienced problems when I tried incorporating and combining them in my own project. Basically, the FileSystemWatcher will detect files created, changed, deleted etc and the TaskBarNotifier will display popups as it should. The problem comes when I create a file (by means of downloading it or by just copying it to the 'watched' folder directly). I've coded it so the TaskBarNotifier should popup with name of the file created/downloaded then disappear after 3 seconds. It should, but doesn't. I can't understand why the same code will not run when used under a different procedure. I would of prefered to paste the code here in the hope people willing and able to help can paste it directly into their own VB.NET environment but the project contains bitmaps (as Embedded Resources) for the skins of the popups and they need to be included when compiling/testing the app otherwise it won't compile. So for this reason I've posted the project on my website for download. Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/toffee_paul/fun_d_mental.html Direct Link: http://www.geocities.com/toffee_paul/vbnetproj.zip When compiled and the form is displayed, click 'Test just the Popup' and the popup will appear as it should. Now change the 'watch folder' to a valid folder and copy a file to this folder. The app will detect the newly created file (as proven in the 'content' textbox) but the popup will fail to appear. Very strange problem. Any help is very much appreciated, Thanks Paul Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82232

    - Webbrowser Hide Bug (Solution) I don't think anybody has ever come up with a satisfactory solution to the bug where the webbrowser control, hosted in an MDI child, breaks when the form is hidden and reshown. I think this problem also sometimes manifests itself in non-MDI forms too. The solution I came up with was very simple and seems to work perfectly. State is maintained perfectly and you don't have to reload the page or anything. 1) Wrap the webbrowser control in your own UserControl (I recommend the WebOCHostVB... search for it in MS KB... Article ID 311303). 2) In the usercontrol's HandleDestroyed event remove the webbrowser from the Controls collection (and add it back in the HandleCreated event). This prevents the orphaning of the webbrowser window. Private Sub WebOCHostCtrl_HandleDestroyed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.HandleDestroyed 'detach the browser If Not webBrowser Is Nothing Then If Me.Controls.Contains(webBrowser) Then Me.Controls.Remove(webBrowser) End If End If End Sub Private Sub WebOCHostCtrl_HandleCreated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.HandleCreated 'attach the browser If Not webBrowser Is Nothing Then If Not Me.Controls.Contains(webBrowser) Then Me.Controls.Add(webBrowser) webBrowser.Width = Me.ClientRectangle.Width webBrowser.Height = Me.ClientRectangle.Height End If End If End Sub That's it!

    - Resource Files, Satellite Assembly - newbie This has been bothering me for the last couple of hours. Here is what I would like to do. I want to create a sample when a button is clicked, depending on Culture I would like to display the flag. What I did was create a resx file using ResxResourceWriter and AddResource Method. I included few countries' flags in the resx file. I used resgen to create the .resource file. I am using the following lines of code: rm = New ResourceManager("MyImages", Me.GetType().Assembly) and PictureBox1.Image = CType(rm.GetObject("MyImage", ci), System.Drawing.Image) Using the reseditor I could see the bitmap files in the file. When I run the sample I keep getting the error - ********************************************** An unhandled exception of type 'System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException' occurred in mscorlib.dll Additional information: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure "MyImages.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "ResourceFileSample". I tried including the .resources file in the peoject, compiled but still got the same error. I tried creating the resource dll and included in the reference but no change. I have the subdirectories created for the test Cultures an d created the corresponding resource files.

    - Detect when owned form is brought to front? Sorry about the last post -- I hit Enter by accident... I have the following code ('this' is a non-MDI Form): Form form1 = new Form(); form1.Owner = this; form1.Show() Form form2 = new Form(); form2.Owner = this; form2.Show(); The behavior is that form1 and form2 are sort of child forms of 'this' form. When the above code is executed, form2 is in the front, and I'd like to check when the user clicks on form1 to bring it to the front. I guess I was assuming that this was the 'GotFocus' event but this does not work. Is there a 'ZOrderChange' event, or what is it? Thanks. Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82213

    - Visual C# Unable to alter size or position of form Hi I have this in a method which is called when my form is created public CreateDevice() { // Set the initial size of our form this.Top = 0; this.Left = 0; this.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(500,800); //this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(400,300); // And it's caption this.Text = "Rhubarb: CreateDevice"; // Load our icon from the resources of the .exe this.Icon = new Icon(this.GetType(), "directx.ico"); } the method is being called OK, because the forms text is being set to what ever I want it to be. But attempts to set the Top, Left or Size members are having no effect at all, the same with attempts to set the ClientSize member. I can resize the form by dragging, when it is running.

    - How can I profile or check the performance of winforms hosted by IE? Hi, I'm working with "Smart Client" technology ... meaning I'm developing Winforms application embedded in IE. In my form, there are a bunch of controls and objects that connects to SQL DB Severs and to WebServices just like other rich client application. Smart client development process was really tough but had to ran through it. Since now debugging process is on its edge, I'm planning to optimize my Winforms application (embedded in IE). So...I wonder is there anyway to check the performance of "Smart Client". I just want to optimize my app's code to enhance performance. Especially I want to check the memory usage, cpu usage, time consumed, object created based on each line of code execution. Is this possible? Please consider this is unusual situation(winforms in IE). Any suggestion would be appreciated. TIA. :) Regards, Ryan Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82204

    - mdi client problems - second try In our app (VB) client forms are displayed based on what is on the current client form and the button pressed. A user never selects a client form. You can think of this process as filling out a very long form with many branches (e.g., IRS form 1040). Once a client form is loaded it is never unloaded - just hidden. I need help resolving these 2 problems: 1) Focus on a text box. I know i can't set the focus in the Load event but the Activated event only fires when the first client loads. Also, when the form is redisplayed (i.e., made visible) txtbox.focus, for example, doesn't work. What I do now is start a timer with a 10ms interval and set the focus in the timer event. I also think that sometimes when I leave the text box the Leave event doesn't always fire. There's got to be a better way. 2) Client form size. I would like the client form to be the maximum size that will fit in the MDI parent. The minimum size of the client forms is set to 720 X 540. If i set the WindowState to Maximized the first client is displayed maximized but all the others are displayed at their minimum size. When the first client form is redisplayed it is also displayed at the minimum size. This just drives the users crazy. What I've done is after showing the form the first time or making the form visible on redisplays I set the child.Dock = DockStyle.Fill. I also do this if the parent is resized. Now the client is almost maximum size except it still has its own margins. -- tsiGeorge Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82203

    - changing look and feel of an app I would like to know if there are any examples, tutorial on how to completely change an application's look and feel. By that I mean the colors, the way menus are drawn, the way tool bar items are spaced in a tool bar, the way tab identifiers are shaped, etc., etc. There are a few interesting 'LAFs' such as MS Money 2005, MSN Messenger 6.2, Office 2003...just to name a few basic ones. I would like to have one of my graphic designer friends do a mock up in photoshop then produce an application that looks like it (I'm assuming it all has to be done programatically so designers would have to resort to something like photoshop). I also understand that part of the reason the aforementioned applications look the way they do is because of controls which are not available publicly...despite that, if designer can create websites (with primitive components) that can draw powerful and diverse emotional reactions, I don't understand why rich client GUIs have to look so ugly and gray (obviously 'consistency' has its place too). Any way, it will be even better if someone can point me to publicly available LAFs, the way we are starting to see them for the Java/SWING community. Thanks! Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!?

    - A Bug in .NET Framework/Windows Forms Anyone who sees this We have been grappling with this problem ever since we ported to .NET. Microsoft says that MenuItem event handlers are not garbage collected, since they are not "closely tied" to the forms. Although they keep holding the refrence to the forms and it causes the forms to not dispose. So the user objects and GDI object counts keep riising. Apparantly they dont think its an issue and the users have to add handlers for menu item events and then remove the handlers manually. If anyone has come across this issue and know of any other solution besides Microsoft's then please post it. Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82166

    - Scrolling during a Drag Operation Hello all, I have a UserControl that is in a Panel. The Panel's AutoScroll is set to true. When the user drags data over the Panel and hits the edges, I want the control to scroll. I've managed to get this all to work. But I have a few questions: - Is there a standard distance from the edge of the window that the mouse should be before scrolling starts? - How much does one scroll each instance? I've tuned mine to match the speed of the machine I'm doing development work on... Obviously this may not work for others. And one technical question. To do the scrolling I adjust the AutoScrollPosition property while handling the OnDragOver event. If I do this every time the OnDragOver event is fired, my scroll bars move, but nothing is re-drawn (until the scroll bars go as far as they can). On the other hand, if I update the auto scroll position every other time OnDragOver is fired, then everything works as expected: the scroll bars move and the panel is updated. This seems odd, and I find no details on this in the documentation or in a search of the newsgroups. One other question. What is DragDropEeffects.Scroll used for? Is there any point to it? Or is it just there in case you want to change cursors. Finally -- I'm doing my scrolling in OnDragOver. Should I do it in GiveFeedback instead? I'm a little unclear how the framework expects me to seperate the tasks (currently, since I have no special cursors, I do implement GiveFeedback). Cheers, Gordon. Point mouseCurrent = PointToClient(new Point (drgevent.X, drgevent.Y)); /// /// Is it time to scroll (if possible)? Skip every other call to give /// the rest of the update framework a chance to catch up. /// //// _lastDidIt switches from true to false on each call, it is a method variable. int dragboarder = 20; int dragscrolldist = 5; if (mouseCurrent.Y > Height-dragboarder) { if (_lastDidIt) AutoScrollPosition = new Point (-AutoScrollPosition.X, -AutoScrollPosition.Y+dragscrolldist); } if (mouseCurrent.Y < dragboarder) { if (_lastDidIt) AutoScrollPosition = new Point (-AutoScrollPosition.X, -AutoScrollPosition.Y-dragscrolldist); } if (mouseCurrent.X > Width-dragboarder) { if (_lastDidIt) AutoScrollPosition = new Point (-AutoScrollPosition.X+dragscrolldist, -AutoScrollPosition.Y); } if (mouseCurrent.X < dragboarder) { if (_lastDidIt) AutoScrollPosition = new Point (-AutoScrollPosition.X-dragscrolldist, -AutoScrollPosition.Y); } _lastDidIt = !_lastDidIt; /// /// Make sure everything is re-drawn. /// Invalidate(); Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!?

    - Problem with databinding and RowChanging event I created a method to handle the RowChanging event to validate some data in a databound form. I am using BindingManagerBase.EndCurrentEdit to trigger the RowChanging event. If the data cannot be validated then an exception is raised in the RowChanging event and catched after the call to EndCurrentEdit. The problem I am having is that after calling EndCurrentEdit and raising the exception inside the RowChanging handler, the values in the controls in the form that are not modified again are not fetched again. For example... I have a form with 2 edit boxes which are data bound. Edit1 and Edit2. The original values for each are "mary" and "smith" respectively. If I modify Edit1 to contain "John" and call EndCurrentEdit, the RowChanging event is fired. If I check the Current version of the column it contains "Mary" and the proposed version contains "John". If I raise an exception within the event handler then the data is not saved to the dataset as expected. At this point I still have the edit boxes containing "John" and "Smith"... I am not calling CancelCurrentEdit because I don't want to roll back to the current values... I am simply letting the user know that the data entered is incorrect. If at this point I edit the Edit2 to "Roberts" and call the EndCurrentEdit method, the RowChanging event is fired... but if I check the proposed version of the Edit1 bound column, it contains the Current value "Mary" and NOT the value currently in Edit1. If the user does not edit the Edit1 control directly, the value is not reflected when EndCurrentEdit is called. Thanks, Jeronimo Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82147

    - Design-time control options Hi all, How can I show checkbox for bool properties of my custom control in design-time. The usage of DesignerVerb shows just plain MenuItem. I am wondering how TextBox control shows a CheckBox for MultiLine option. (See a TextBox control and its MultiLine option in VS.NET 2005 Windows Form Design Mode) Yongkee Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82146

    - Webbrowser control + MDI + Disable ctrl-n I am using the Webbrowser control in a MDI application. The Webbrowser control is in a User Control which is loaded into a form. I have implemented IDocHostUIHandler for the User Control and have set the SetUIHandler to the User Control (this). I have also disabled ctrl-n by implementing TranslateAccelerator.The problem is, as the mdi form is loaded initially, I can do ctrl-n and it will popup a new IE browser. Once I click anywhere on the browser, then disables ctrl-n. Any ideas? Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82145

    - Hosting .NET Windows forms UserControl in IE Hello, I need to host .NET Windows forms UserControl in Internet Explorer. I do it by including <OBJECT> tag in my aspx page: <OBJECT id="mycontrol1" classid="MyControl.dll#MyControlNamespace.MyControl" width=800 height=300 style="font-size:12;" VIEWASTEXT> </OBJECT> everything works fine, MyControl.dll gets downloaded into the download cache and IE displays the control. The problem however is the fact that the browser needs to download MyControl.dll file. Our clients will block downloads of .DLL and .EXE files. I would like to use CAB file instead, for example, I tried codebase attribute as in the following: <OBJECT id="mycontrol1" codebase="MyControl.cab" classid="MyControl.dll#MyControlNamespace.MyControl" width=800 height=300 style="font-size:12;" VIEWASTEXT> </OBJECT> but it does not work. Is there a way of making IE to download a CAB file, just as it does for an ActiveX components, and extract contents into the download cache, so that no DLL file needs to be downloaded? Thank you, Slava. Tag: resx file transformation failed ?!? Tag: 82143

The situation is the following:

I compile successfully a GUI class of mine extending
System.Windows.Forms.UserControl

A crucial factor is that it has an ImageList added to it.

Unfortunately the C# file and the resx file corresponding to it FAIL to
compile on another computer (same OS (Win 2003), same Visual Studio (.NET
2003))

the exception thrown is

Resource transformation for file 'AlgorithmsPane.resx' failed. Exception
has been thrown by the target of an invocation.

Please Help with this one! It is pretty annoying :(
