Dear All,
I have developed different application and create it msi package for them, but this time its alittle bit different.
now i have developed an application which can be used over 34 provinces of afghanistan and monthly there will 2 or more updates for each province, so this mean that each province may have updates or not that depends.
i am asking which method of installation should i use? 1.creating msi package 2. creating by clickonce

my concern is always updates, i should be able to send them only udpates whenever the require not the whole setup file.

Hi,

I guess that you have one single application that must be configured to fit in for each of the 34 provinces. If it is that, I would use clickonce, because click-once contains the distribution itself.

Other way would be to write an application that contains the update mechanism itself, like an antivirus-app. There are different patterns and frameworks for this, so it should be easy to find a good starting point.

thx my friend, the fact that each province uses its own version and a single update to any province should be distributede for 34 provinces.
i would really appreciate to have some reference regarding update mechansim as u mentioned for antivirus or can i use ".cab" from VS setup for my deployment?

MS published a pattern and practices-article about self-updating applications: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms978574.aspx[^]

Have a look, it is quite interesting.

Didn't get it that each province has its own version. You mean you implemented ONE application, but to fit for the province it must be CONFIGURED?

thx, i mean the application is only one, but is installed in 34 provinces, if one provinces finds any bug or error in the application, that error needs be fixed and reflected to all provinces.

Ah okay, sounds good. Well as mentioned before, click-once will suit your requirements perfectly.

If you are printing reports, go for ReportViewer control or Crystal report. Or else in-built classes to print data would be best bet.

There is a WPF/WCF[^] forum here. IMO that would be better place ask.

This[^] explains what you need.

Once, you have added the DataGridBoolColumn, handle its MouseClick event to display/hide the data.

I prefer using DataGridView instead of the grid. Check out if that suits your need.

hi all
I have a datagrid and another datagrid in the rowdetails. When 2 or more rowdetails are displayed, there is problem with scrollbar.
The scrollbar will not disappear when the row detail is collapsed using a button placed in the rowdetails..Please help me if anybody has the solution.

the code to Collapse the rowdetail is as follows:
private void CancelButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
StackPanel panel = (((sender as Button).Parent as Grid).Parent as StackPanel);
DataGrid grid = panel.Children[1] as DataGrid;
DataGridRow row = DataGridRow.GetRowContainingElement(grid);
row.DetailsVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

thanks in advance..

is it possible to know the method used by dotnet libraries. i m using getbezierpoints method in dotnet to get the bezier points of a stroke. but not sure if dot net is using quadratic bezier points or cubic bezier point or something else. my further analysis depends on the method used by them. i asked the same question 2 days back n was suggested to seek help of reflector. unfortunately reflector is not able to give the code behind. is there any other way out. pls help

Hi,

for such questions there are IMO three possible answers:
- documentation
- reflection
- experiments

I would spend 10 minutes on documentation, try reflection for 10 minutes, then start a series of little experiments, trying out some extreme cases since those are most likely to show the differences.

FrmSearch search = new FrmSearch();
foreach (Form f in this.MdiChildren)
{
if (f.Name.ToString() == search.Name.ToString())
{
f.Focus();
flag = true;
break;
}
}
if (flag == false)
{
search.MdiParent = this;
search.Show();
}

AFAIK string.ToString() is a waste, it just returns

Icon problems

For a very long time now I've been having a problem with making an icon appear on the top-left part of my form. I have created a .ico file and it works for my .exe icon but whenever I try it on my icon property of my form it doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas why I'm having this problem?

An icon file can contain icons in a number of different sizes. You probably are not including one in the size needed for the corner of the form ( I am guessing 16x16 or 32x32 )
