    - URGENT Copying Window C# 2.0 I have tried this way and it does seem to be a good way when copying large files, but not a good way when copying small files. Is there a way I can pass the Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.CopyDirectory a list off all the files & folders which need to be copied I am creating a backup software and I will be copying files and folders at the same time. It wont be the same files and folders everytime so I want to know if it is possible to pass the methods in Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem a list or something similar!

    - Data binding problem between two forms Thank you very much for the help, ARK88. I think I understand what you are saying, but I definitely do not understand your code. I guess I should have mentioned that I am using VB2005 EE. I think maybe your code looks like C++ Anyway, I do not understand it. You're right. I used the following code to call form2 (named btnEditCustomer): Private Sub btnEditCustomer_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEditCustomer.Click My.Forms.frmEditCustomer.ShowDialog() End Sub I need just a little more help with the code. Thanks. Tag: Windows Forms General open help at specifies topic, msdn style help Windows Forms

    - Refresh Form Without Changing Its Position I have tried the two following methods and i can achieve refresh purpose but i can't keep the position of the windows. Basically, i hope to refresh the windows which means reexecute from the form_load action without closing or disposing it. Once we dispose or close it, the position will definitely change when we call it out again. May i know how to solve this Thank you. Method 1 Private Sub new_b_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles new_b.Click Me .Close() Me .Dispose() Dim display_form As New current_form display_form.Show() End Sub Method 2 Private Sub new_b_Click( ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles new_b.Click Me .Refresh() Me .Show() End Sub Tag: Windows Forms General open help at specifies topic, msdn style help Windows Forms

Hi there Can anyone tell me an easy way to display a hint when the mouse is over an object I don't want to use MessageBox.Show() on mouseHover or mouseOver. What I want is a hint to appear automatically for a few seconds on mouse hover then disappear. In Delphi there is a property (Hint) to do this - is there an equivalent in C# Thanks in advance John Allwork j.b.allwork@mmu.ac.uk Tag: Windows Forms General open help at specifies topic, msdn style help Windows Forms

    - Webbrowser.DocumentText Need Help I have a webbrowser object that I am using as a ticker at the bottom of my application. I use the following marquee html to handle what I am trying to do and I use stringformat to replace the {0} with the text I want. Then I use the webrowser.documenttext = this string and like magic there is my ticker. < html > < head >< meta http-equiv = " Content-Type " content = " text/html; charset=windows-1252 " ></ meta > < title > New Page 1 </ title > </ head >< body > < MARQUEE direction = " left " width = " 100% " scrollamount = " 5 " >< STRONG >< font size = " 8 " color = " black " > {0} </ font ></ STRONG ></ MARQUEE > </ body > </ html > The problem is in my application I need to update the text that is scrolling when a field is changed. I am getting the string appropriately, but when I go to set that string into the webbrowser.documenttext it will not accept it. I am not sure why, but the webbrowser will not show the new text. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong or any trick of changing the webbrowsers document text.

    - Packaging Interop Files For the sake of this question, let's say I have an app written in C# (VS 2005). The app references a COM DLL written in VB6 called "MyComponent.dll". When I reference it, the file "Interop.MyComponent.dll" is built in my bin\debug and bin\release folders. When I deploy my app to a user's PC (.NET framework 2.0 already installed, running XP SP2), do I need to include the "Interop.MyComponent.dll" file in my package, or does the app create it dynamically for the user The VB6 DLL is registered with COM during the install. Background: We have mutliple developers, working on a single app, sharing one set of pre-existing VB6 COM DLLs, so when we run the app, we have Interop. .dll files from multiple locations. I am wondering if the developers need to copy their Interop. .dll to the same library folder as the VB6 COM DLLs and their resulting C# DLLs, or if the Interop. .dll files are dynamcially created. Many thanks. Tag: Windows Forms General open help at specifies topic, msdn style help Windows Forms

    - Control.Invoke/BeginInvoke and PostMessage 1) A message is nothing more than an integral value. In the Windows header files you will see things like WM_USER and WM_PAINT but this is strictly a C symbolic definition mapped to an integral value. Windows itself breaks up the message range to help avoid a conflict between custom messages and Windows messages but all that really matters is the numeric value. That is why when you register a custom message you do so using an integral value and a "friendly" string name. The name is all but irrelevant. Nowhere in Windows will you find an API that accepts a string as a parameter and returns its numeric message value or vice versa (AFAIK). The reason the names are uppercase is because that is how C programmers define symbolic values historically. The actual name is irrelevant. In fact several WM_ symbols map to the exact same message number. Nobody but a programmer cares about the symbolic name. 2) Messages are sent to specific windows. Each UI thread has its own message pump. DispatchMessage is responsible for taking the message from the queue and calling the window procedure (wndproc) for the window associated with the message. The message structure contains the target window. When the window was originally created it was associated with the wndproc. Wndproc is responsible for taking the message apart and either handling it directly or, more likely, passing it along. It is within here where .NET will call OnPaint or OnLoad or whatever else is appropriate. Internally though when the custom message arrives the wndproc picks off the call and handles the invocation directly. Each control in .NET has its own wndproc (you can even override it as it is virtual). Deep in the bowels of .NET code is responsible for ultimately making sure the control's wndproc is invoked correctly. You are correct that once the message is in the queue the original control is no longer needed. However it really doesn't matter whether .NET uses the top-most form or the control itself to process the message. Either way it'll be running in the right thread and it'll invoke the correct method. Again, the delegate information is not passed to the message queue. Internally there is a "stack" of callback objects where the delegate information is stored. The method called by the wndproc routine only needs to pop the topmost callback from the list to get the delegate information. It can then invoke it. I recommend that if you are still confused about how this happens you should open the source code in Reflector and review it. Look for Control.BeginInvoke and you'll see all the code. As for the conversion you will see that BeginInvoke calls PostMessage after it pushes the callback data onto the internal list. While I agree that knowing how something works is good I don't agree that you can't use something well without understanding how it works. There is just too much to keep track of. You should pursue those areas that interest you and just let the rest of it go. For example you can probably assume that you are an expert at sending e-mail or browsing the web but do you really understand how it works Do you understand how your machine is able to find other machines even though they aren't on the same network Routers and DNS servers are the "high level" implementations. What about the IP packets IMHO the sign of a good technology is one that you can use without knowing the details of how it works. File IO and INet communication are good technologies because I can use them for just about anything while knowing very little about them. Graphics programming, Win32 development and security are not because using them requires significant understanding of how everything works together. So, in summary, if this is an area that interests you then feel free to search for more information and figure out how everything works. That is, after all, how experts are made. However if you are strictly interested so you can use BeginInvoke/Invoke properly then don't worry about it. It just works.

    - Setting Currency format on a DataGridView Hi again, "Do you want the box to be bound to your database or just an input box in general " As I keep looking for a more "standard" way of programming, except for DataGridView or List, I'm not using binding at all as it gave me a few problems in the past. For common controls on an update form I prefer "loading" all display fields in a subroutine and then initialize corresponding form controls. Same thing when the user press the "OK" button. As a conclusion, I would say that I'm looking for a simple input box in general. Any trick Thanks for your help, Stephane Tag: Windows Forms General open help at specifies topic, msdn style help Windows Forms

    - Saving form state. I agree, serialization is useful for storing settings. I have only used C# 2003, but in that my preferred way to do it is by making a Settings class marked [Serializable] containing serializable fields. In your case, you would have a set of boolean values in the settings class, and whenever the form is closed, you would make a new Settings object, set all the boolean values, and then serialize it. Saving it to a file like the following makes sense: Code Snippet string filename = System.IO.Path.Combine(Application.UserAppDataPath, "last.set") To actually serialize your settings object, use something like Code Snippet using System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary; BinaryFormatter writer = new BinaryFormatter(); writer.Serialize(filestream, this ); Whenever your application starts, check to see if there is a file at filename, and if there is, deserialize it using another BinaryFormatter. After that, set the state of the check boxes based on the Settings object. You can use other formatters than a BinaryFormatter; I've just used that in my projects because of the complexity of the settings and because there's no need for me to make it human-readable. It seems like the easiest one to use for serializing complicated classes, but you could use something like XML too. There may also be a new way to do it in VS2005, so you may want to look a bit or see what others have to say. Tag: Windows Forms General open help at specifies topic, msdn style help Windows Forms

    - Make a networked drive appear local? I don't think making C invisible is the answer, someone always finds away around that ;-) . Just close it down with permissions, and do a combo of couple things. 1) Make there My documents a network drive. 2) Train your users to use the network drive. 3) Enforce a policy against users who try to break policy. 4) Make it simple for users to follow policy by providing training and making useful links on there desktop. Making the drive not visible in windows simple is not an option and to be honest shows a lack of policy and investment in your users.(sorry to blunt) I have worked with a couple clients who have hacked this type of policy togther and they all completely fail and they leave the systems and network in a complete mess and vunerable to smart users.
