| Control.DesignMode issues. Mike Andrews 01:45:49 |
| | I'm having a particular issue with designing controls that I'm guessing I either didn't understand properly or there's something else going on. The current project on which I'm working has numerous usercontrols. Some of these usercontrols contain other composite usercontrols. Additionally, some of these controls derive their data from a database automatically. Now, in order to design these controls, the Control.DesignMode property was used to prevent code from executing when designing the control. The problem I'm having now is that when I draw one of those controls on the design surface of another usercontrol that DesignMode property is returning false for the drawn control even though I'm currently in design mode for the control I'm currently building.
I thought (or assumed) that the Control.DesignMode chained down through the various child controls so that each control would know that its parent or its parent's parent was in design mode. Apparently I was mistaken.
Has anyone else experienced this or know what's going on here or any suggestions on how to overcome this one?
Thanks, Mike

| Serializing Dictionaries Brady Kelly 18:51:23 |
| | I have an object graph in which most nodes contain generic Dictionary objects of other classes. After looking at IXmlSerializer I can't decide whether to go this route, or just derive all my dictionaries from a serializable dictionary. If I implement IXmlSerializer, I would then require each element of my dictionary to also implement this interface, so I can call WriteXml on each one, but what happens if the dictionary element is a built-in type, such as string?

| Lightweight GUI Library Daniel Barla-Szabo 16:39:35 |
| | Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for a lightweight library that provides good looking UI controls (let's call it "eye candy", I don't really need more the powerful controls like grids, etc) for a small WinForms application. I would typically use DevExpress for the job, but in this case, I would not be able to justify the several MB increase in size just for a bit of flair.
I'm looking to use it on some small utilities which will probably be released for free, so I'm looking for something relatively cheap / free (GPL is a possibility). For some reason, I'm having trouble finding something which fits the bill, even though I remember running across a few candidates years back...
What would you guys recommend in this case? Is there something lightweight that's worthwhile (please point me in the right direction), or should I just stick to plain old WinForms controls?
Regards, Daniel.

| ExceptionManager and custom exceptions Darryl Luther 01:34:09 |
| | I posted this on the DOTNET-WEB discussion list, but didn't receive any replies so I thought I'd try here. My apologies if this is completely OT for this list...
I'm trying to configure exception management in a web app to email different addresses depending on the exception generated. To this end I've created my own exception class that implements ApplicationException. For these custom exceptions I'd like the email to go to a different address than all the other exceptions so I have two publisher nodes in web.config as follows: <exceptionManagement> <publisher mode="on" assembly="IntranetMaintenance" type="IntranetMaintenance.ExceptionMailPublisher" exclude="IntranetMaintenance.DuplicateFileException" mailserver="mail.exceptions.com" mailfromaddress="noreply@exceptions.com" mailfromname="Intranet Maintenance Exception" mailto="general.exceptions@exceptions.com" mailsubject="Unhandled Intranet Maintenance Exception"> </publisher> <publisher mode="on" assembly="IntranetMaintenance" type="IntranetMaintenance.ExceptionMailPublisher" exclude="*" include="IntranetMaintenance.DuplicateFileException" mailserver="mail.exceptions.com" mailfromaddress="noreply@exceptions.com" mailfromname="Intranet Maintenance Warning" mailto="warning.exceptions@exceptions.com" mailsubject="Intranet Maintenance Duplicate File Warning"> </publisher> </exceptionManagement> "IntranetMaintenance" is the namespace for the web app and "DuplicateFileException" is my exception class implementing ApplicationException. Here's how I create the exception in code: DuplicateFileException e = new DuplicateFileException("Duplicate file found"); NameValueCollection additionalInfo = new NameValueCollection(); additionalInfo.Add("User", _user); additionalInfo.Add("Workarea", _workarea); additionalInfo.Add("File", f.Name); additionalInfo.Add("Exception Type", e.GetType().ToString()); ExceptionManager.Publish(e, additionalInfo); I added the Exception Type just to make sure that I was indeed specifying the right type to exclude/include in my publisher nodes. The problem is that this exception is still emailed to "general.exceptions@exceptions.com". Clearly I am doing something wrong, but I cannot see what it is. I think I have everything configured properly for what I'm trying to do. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

| Console Application R. Rogers 20:09:15 |
| | Hi,
As far as I know, there's no forum for Console apps, so I'm placing my questions here.
I'm just writing a simple console app:
namespace HierarchyTest { class MyConsoleApp { private bool Initialize() { bool Result = false;
return (Result); }
private bool MainProcessing() { bool Result = false;
return (Result); }
private void Completion() { }
static void Main(string[] args) { } }
I have two questions: 1. Main is declared as static. As a result, I can't directly call MyConsoleApp.Initialize() from within Main. I can take the approach of either creating my methods as static, or writing something like this in main:
try { MyApp = new MyConsoleApp(); if (MyApp.Initialize()) if (MyApp.Processing()) { MyApp.ProcessingMessage = String.Format(_ProcessingComplete, MyApp.FoldersProcessed, MyApp.FilesProcessed); Console.WriteLine(MyApp.ProcessingMessage); } MyApp.Completion(); } finally { if (MyApp != null) MyApp = null; }
Which approach do you take in your console apps, and why?
2. I'd like to use a 'using' instead of a try/finally block, but MyApp doesn't implement IDisposable, hence the following code won't compile:
using (MyApp = new MyConsoleApp()) { if (MyApp.Initialize()) if (MyApp.MainProcessing()) { MyApp.ProcessingMessage = String.Format(_ProcessingComplete, MyApp.FoldersProcessed, MyApp.FilesProcessed); Console.WriteLine(MyApp.ProcessingMessage); } MyApp.Completion(); }
What would you do? Would you declare MyConoleApp this way? class MyConsoleApp : System.Idisposable
Thanks for any/all feedback.

| windows-less console app visual progress indicator chris Burgess 19:17:50 |
| | I have a very small windows-less console app that runs very quickly and doesn't require user interaction. What would be a simple, non-intrusive visual indicator that the job has run and completed. I want something that will let them know it's done for a second or two and then go away. I don't want the user to need to dismiss a dialog box.
Thanks!

| MDI List Steve Abaffy 01:33:52 |
| | Hello,
The help says that if you have a menu item that you would like to list all the open children of a MDI form all that needs to be done is Menuitem.MdiList = true;
However the Menuitem does not have this property so how does one do this? And yes the toolstrip is located on the Form which has its IsMdiContainer set to true. Thanks

| [OT] SharePoint vs Wiki Peter Vertes 05:35:51 |
| | *Hello List,*
This is a kinda off topic question but it is development related. I'm looking to put together an information "information repository" for one of my dev teams. I'm thinking about it being a wiki type thing. Different people can update the different items inside this said repository that the rest of the group can view without a fuss (meaning no additional software installation required, viewing via a browser would be ideal). During one of our meetings the idea of a SharePoint server came up but since I'm not all that familiar with it I don't know if it would satisfy my requirements. I did a little reading up on SharePoint and I think it might be an overkill for our use. If someone is using something similar with their team are they using SharePoint ? If not what kind of wiki engine would you recommend ? I'm looking for something that is preferably ASP.NET. Thanks...

| DataTable efficiency Alan Baljeu 23:36:33 |
| | My application uses a largish readonly database (CSV files, actually) consisting of several tables. These tables are accessed somewhat frequently, and I want to make this as efficient as possible. I'm currently using plain DataTable objects produced by OdbcAdapters and queries. These tables are cached so I'm just searching in-memory tables after that. My queries look like "SELECT * FROM [{0}]" and occasionally "SELECT * FROM [{0}] where [{1}] = '{2}'". I'm thinking of splitting the latter into just table.Select("colname = value").
I have a nagging suspicion that the DataTable structure isn't super-efficient, or that certain ways of using it are effcient while others aren't.
Is this so? Are there certain things I should avoid? Do you recommend a certain style for efficient access? Is there a better approach that DataTable?

| Strange Wierdness with SQLServer Bit fields and SQLProvider Davy J 00:47:30 |
| | Hi all,
[summary] I've got a bit field, that always retuns DBNULL, even though the value is True / False (1/0) using SQLServer 2005 , Dataset , DataAdapter.
[detail] I've been stuck with this for a while now, looked everywhere I can and can't seem to find someone who has the same problem, so I must be doing something wrong.
In the database we have
create table REF_STATE ( ref_id int identity(1,1), ref_label varchar(25), ref_isvalid bit )
the database uses ref_isvalid as a tristate variable, true, false , dbnull (not used)
we have 3 rows in the table
insert into ref_state ( label, isvalid ) values ( 'active' , 1) insert into ref_state ( label, isvalid ) values ( 'debug' , 0) insert into ref_state ( label , isvalid) values ( 'disactive',1)
For this example ref_isvalid defines if we're in debug mode, ( there are 200+ ref tables like this , so changing NOT NULL is not possible.)
to get information from this we use a stored procedure
create procedure SP_GetState(@debug bit) as begin select * from ref_state where ref_state = 1 or @debug = 1 end
Now the problem, standard SQLProvider code
Connection -> Command -> SQLDataAdaptor -> Dataset
when we loop over the dataset , we use this function
public T DefaultValue<T>(object o , object defaultValue){ if(o == null || o == DBNull.Value) return defaultValue; return (T)o; }
RefItem refItem = new RefItem;
refItem.Id = DefaultValue<Int32>(dr["ref_id"],-1); refItem.Code = DefaultValue<String>(dr["ref_label"],"<unknown>"); refItem.IsValid = DefaultValue<Boolean>(dr["ref_isValid"],false);
The problem is when we get to the DefaultValue<Boolean>(dr["ref_isvalid"],false) , it ALWAYS falls on the o == DBNull.Value , the value returned from the stored procedure is allways DBNull for this bit field ( ref_isvalid bit , )
Selects direct on the database return the correct data, Executing the storedprocedure returns the correct value , Somewhere between the DataAdapter.Fill(ds) and the dr["ref_isvalid"] it's either loosing the value or not setting it. Any Ideas how to debug this or references to an example please?
Thanks

| Hiding all open forms James Berry 20:35:34 |
| | I need to hide all open forms in my application (and be able to bring them back later). This is a security function for which there is an external requirement, and I can do nothing to manage.
My first test was to use the Application.OpenForms to discover all open forms and then hide them. This gives two sets of problems:
1. OpenForms does not include forms where ShowInTaskBar = false 2. Hiding open dialog boxes causes them to close (returning DialogResult).
So, any pointers?
1. Is there a way to identify all open forms without OpenForms (Win32 functions to find the handles would be enough probably, as I can always send messages rather than using the dotnet functions) 2. Is there a good alternative to hiding? I thought of resizing to 0,0 - or moving massively off screen (eg to 10000, 10000)
Best wishes James

| Child objects inheriting property values Brady Kelly 01:43:05 |
| | I have a hierarchy of objects that share some attributes, e.g. both my parent Record and Column objects have a columnDelimiter property. I want this property on the Column object to default to the same property on the Record object, until specified on the Column object. What is the best way to go about this? I could give each Column a reference to the Record it belongs to, but this seems not quite right to me. My other option is to have the Record act as a ColumnFactory, setting the columnDelimiter value on each Column it creates, until a set accessor on Column optionally overrides that default value.

| FW: C# 3.0 Automatic Properties Keith Hill 22:24:43 |
| | -----Original Message----- From: Fabian Schmied [mailto:fabian.schmied@GMX.AT] Sent: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 1:22 AM Subject: Re: C# 3.0 Automatic Properties Encapsulation is a nice word, but IMO in many, many cases (like utility structs) public readonly fields do the job very well. I've yet to hear a convincing reason to prefer properties over public readonly fields when both of them would be applicable. I have to disagree. IMO it is a bad idea to expose public fields (even readonly) unless you are talking about a true cosmological constant like Pi or E. The reason is that public field values get baked (compiled) into your client's code. Once a client has compiled against your type, it will never ask for that public field value again until you recompile. So if you decide to change the value well then all your clients will have to recompile. And as far as performance is concerned most trivial property getters are inlined. Furthermore, you may decide that you need logic in the retrieval of the field's value - oops can't do that. Non-readonly fields are worse since they can never be thread safe (unless there is a field sync attribute I don't know about).
BTW for the folks objecting to the compiler syntactic sugar known as automatic properties, how is this that different than what the compiler does for you when you use the event keyword?

| Sorting Lines in VS2008 Text Editor R. Rogers 18:14:11 |
| | Hi,
I downloaded CodeSmart, the trial edition, from here: http://www.axtools.com/ What an amazing tool it is - quite a large set of capabilities. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to figure out how I can use it to sort lines in the text editor.
Let's say I've got the following declarations: bool Active; bool Result = false; bool ValidDate; DateTime DateOnBoard; int DateOnBoardInt = 0; int RC; string DateOnBoardStr; string SiteId, CompanyName, Address, City, Province , PostalCode, BusinessPhone, AltPhone, CellPhone, ContactName , ContactEmail, PrimaryContact, RoomLocation, CircuitTermination , RoomKey, IBIOrderNumber, Tech, Network, Notes;
I've got them sorted by type. How can I sort them by name? Does anyone use an add-in that a) sorts lines b) can sort by either type or name and c) works in VS 2008?
I thought of writing a simple add-in, but don't want to spend the time.
Any pointers?

| Custom paper size when printing... Gary Harpin 11:58:55 |
| | I have the need to automatical print to a custom paper size on a named printer.
The code I have is basicaly as below: --------------------------------------------------------------- ... PrintDocument prnDoc = new PrintDocument(); prnDoc.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(OnPrintPage); prnDoc.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "Samsung ML-2010 Series";
PaperSize ps = new PaperSize("Custom", 600, 400);
prnDoc.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = ps;
prnDoc.Print(); ... ----------------------------------------------------------------
On most of the printers available to me this code works as expected, however on Samsung printers it dose not (it allways prints to A4).
Is this an error in my understanding of how to set custom paper sizes or could it be an error in how the Samsung drivers work with the framework?
Thank you.

| SV: [DOTNET-WINFORMS] Help set the direction for Microsoft's data technologies Benny Skjold Tordrup 12:41:32 |
| | Just completed the survey and actually missed a "General comments" question
When creating DataSets in VS 2005, I always delete the TableAdapter class created in the dataset. IMO it does not belong there.
If you rely on DataSets as the data structure definition in a n-tier application, the DataSet classes would be used in most tiers - especially the UI layer. Having TableAdapters in the DataSet definition would force DAL code to flow around in the UI layer - where it does not belong.
The practice that I use, is the DataSet definition in one library and the actual DataAccess classes (DAL) in another library.
