- Host Controls in Windows Forms DataGridView Cells Hi all, I'm trying to create a new cell within the new DataGridView (.NET 2 Beta). For example, I'm trying to create a cell which contain a RichTextBox, I succeed with the appearance of the rich text box controll but there is a lot of irregular behavior. Does someone did it already(not particular with RichTextBox) and can send an example. Unfortunately Microsoft example in the link below doesn't accessible. http://whidbey.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_fxmclictl/html/e79a9d4e-64ec-41f5-93ec-f5492633cbb2.asp 10X in advance, Nir Oren Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Setup file.

- DataGridView -- AllowUserToDeleteRows Hi, Though I set my DataGridView's AllowUserToDeleteRows to true, if the user clicks at the left of a row, and then clicks delete, the row isn't deleted. It seems that the delete 'goes' to the last cell the user edited/visited in that row. Only if that cell isn't active, the row is deleted. How can I enable row deletion, and how can the user actually do so Thanks, Ofer. Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Setup file. Windows Forms

- ApplicationSettings, ClientSize property does not revert form's previous size after maximizing I use some of ApplicationSetting like Location and ClientSize . After I set the ClientSize the previous form size is never restored to its previous state after form is maximized. I recorded this problem (1.5MB). The video can be downloaded from this address: http://www.zgadzaj.pl/temp/ClientSize.wmv In this video you can see that location and size is stored i restored properly but when a form is maximized then it losts its previous size. The restored size is wrong. The window's size in enlarged so it is bigger then the parent's surface. I think that, because of this issue, the ClientSize property is unusable. I hope there is a workaround, I need an advice, Marek Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Setup file. Windows Forms

- Simple Question connecting two input fields... I seem to remember seeing how to do this somewhere but I can't remember how. I am developing a tab form. And the first tab is a summary or overview tab with the other tabs asking for different input with more user friendly questions. Isn't there some way to connect two input devices like textbox1 to textbox2 so that if someone typed in one it appears in the other. And I don't mean with the textchanged method which is how I did it last time I wanted to do something like this. I thought I remembered seeing a way to connect them without writing functions for each one. Was I dreaming If there is such a way, how Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Setup file.

- Can someone from Microsoft please give us an insight on this DataGridView InvalidOperationException? I've seen this in several threads. The DataGridView throws quite randomly an InvalidOperationException with a message saying: "this operation could not be performed while an auto-filled column is being resized" I sure don't understand. I don't have any column with an autosizemode and yet I get this. I'm binding the DataGridView to a custom collection, I do have two link columns that I watch for CellContentClick in which I raise an event to a parent form that toggles another Mdi child form. The error shows up just when I try to activate another Mdi child. Can you please give us a clear explanation on what DataGridView properties combination leads to this exception because obviously the DataGridView itself doesn't keep us in ANY WAY from making a mess...

- Deploying WinForms on a Network and updates Hi. I searched and read the previous discussions on deployment. Several people pointed out Click-Once and others pointed to an Updater Component http://windowsclient.net/articles//appupdater.aspx . Those are fascinating articles but my situation is a little different. I am developing an application that can only be used internally off our intranet. Given that, we decided to host the application on our central server and create a short cut for everyone else to pull to their local machine. ClickOnce and the Updater Component seem like overkill in my situation because everyone is running from the same local server so when I want to update, I simply want to overwrite the old program. As such, I have a couple questions: 1) Currently, we update the program by asking everyone to shutdown, then we overwrite the old version with the new version and tell everyone to start back up. The problem comes when someones is gone etc and has left the program up. I can't overwrite the older version until we run down who has left the older version running. This application queries SQL, so we thought we could fix this issue by setting a flag within the SQL tables and if it's true, the application will exit. Is there a better way 2) Along with #1, we thought that maybe the entry point for the program should be a different program that displays a flash screen and checks to see if the program is locked down. If not, it launches the main program. If it is locked down, the main program never executes. Does that seem reasonable I mean, is it difficult for a network application to launch another network application I could sure use some help on that issue. Basically, I want to be able to efficiently shut everyone down so I can update the network application. Two more questions while were at it: 3) Basically, the application queries SQL at a specific interval. We put in a label that said something like "Next Refresh In xxx seconds". To update the time interval in the label, we use a background worker thread. The thread executes every second. If the interval hits zero, it queries SQL. If not, it simply updates the interval label on the RunWorkerCompleted. Does that seem reasonable 4) And, if I shut them down. I'd like to somehow leave a popup message on the screen. I thought I could do that with a Process but apparently not. Does that mean I need an exit application to display the message Thanks much!!!! And, have a nice weekend.

- Localization using .resx or Database Hi I am looking in to writing a c# application in .NET 3.0 and localization has been highlighted as an issue. I haven't really written a localized app but I am aware of using resources and dotnets ability to choose the correct localized assembly when required. However, someone has suggested to me they would like to use a database in order to provide the localized strings. My first thought though would have been to use .NET resources. I can see the db approach would be more accessable to someone who didn't have any kind of resx editing tool (if there is such a thing), but I see that there is more to localization than just providing translated strings. Because of these conflicts of interest I wanted to ask everyones opinion: Is there a best practice doc anywhere Has anyone localized an app using a database to provide the string and run in to problems Are there tools out there to allow a non dev to manipulate .resx files when localizing Any finally, the big question would have to be; does the current localization recommendation change if I target WPF Regards Graham Tag: ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Setup file.

- updating window in multithreaded app okay im making a mesh viewer for my engine in c#. Now my engine runs in a window, parented to a window in my c# application. My engine runs in its own thread started by my c# application. When i've finished rendering i tell opengl to swap buffers, which would normally display the contents to window, however in my c# appliation it does not update the window. How ever, if i put a call to my engine's render function in the windows paint method, it will be displayed, but only when i resize the window.

- Determining when a bound business objects, or any of its children, have changed I have one main business object in an application, which is a container for various other business objects, themselves container other business objects. It is bound throughout various aspects of the user interface using a BindingSource and its Current property. The object can then be "processed" so to speak, any number of times. I would like to be able to tell if the object has changed in between successive processes. I have looked at these various options: 1. Since all my business objects implement INotifyPropertyChanged, I added a dirty flag in each object that gets set when a property changes. The problem is I have no way for this to be reflected to the parent object, and eventually my main object. 2. Event handlers for BindingSource::CurrentItemChanged. However this only detects changes based on the CurrentChanged event or when properties of the CurrentItem change, so it won't detect changes to child objects. 3. CurrencyManager::ItemChanged event. Get the CurrencyManager via the BindingContext for my BindingSource and attach handlers for the ItemChanged event. Again it seems to only detect changes to the parent object and not children.

The former two are quite clear. However, I have no clue under which circumstances the latter - DataError - could occur.

Hi,
To create a setup is simple. Right click on the solution of the project on which you are working on and add a new project.
From the Add New Project Window go to
Other Project Types -> Setup and Deployment
Select Setup Wizard from the right and follow the steps.
I think you can play around with it to know more and more about it.
Regards.
