Let say that you only wanted your assembly loaded if it was signed with your X.509 certificate, you'd add the assembly-level attribute:
[assembly: PublisherIdentityPermission(SecurityAction.RequestMinimum,
X509Certificate="hex-encoded value of your certificate")] If you wanted only plugins to be able to call a method if it was signed with the certificate, attribute your method like so:
[PublisherIdentityPermission(SecurityAction.Demand,
X509Certificate="same thing")]
public void MyMethod()
{
}There's a lot of information about code access security in the .NET Framework SDK that will explain more, as well as a pretty decent (but long) article here on CP, Understanding .NET Code Access Security[^].

Of course, just use sn.exe -k KeyFile.snk to create one, and you could even put it into a user or machine store using sn.exe -i KeyFile.snk MyContainerName, using the path (project-relative or absolute) in the AssemblyKeyFileAttribute in the former case, and AssemblyKeyNameAttribute in the latter case.
As far as plugins, they do not need to use the same key unless you use code access security to state that plugins must use the same key (not a good idea). Think about this: in your .config file there's several sections where you can specify a type (like in .NET Remoting config sections or system.net config sections) and they load into your application (though typically in these cases you don't load them directly).
Signing an assembly not only identifies the assembly but provides a level of security as you've discovered, such as determining when the file has been tampered with (the CLR takes care of this) or by using CAS to determine what assemblies to trust.

Hi,
I read some tutorials about scrren capture with C#.
I need a way to draw rectangle selection over whole screen ?
I am able to draw rectangle selection inside my form (application), but I want to draw rectangle selection acros whole screen area (over all active windows, outside my form) to select screen area for capturing ?
How to do rectangle drawing outside app.form ?
Thanks,
|

Look up information on the SystemInformation class.
This class has properties to get the bounds of the entire virtual screen:
public static Rectangle VirtualScreen
and the working area:
public static Rectangle WorkingArea
plus many others
The previous post doesn't account for OS controls that always remain on top like the taskbar.
VirtualScreen should get you what you need;
i.e. the rectangle bounds to draw.

How can you get your application to execute other applications, such as CALC.EXE?
Thanks in advance,
Jon
|
|
|
|

The easiest way is probably System.Diagnostic.Process.Start("calc.exe");
However, the Process class has much more functionality that you can use to refine exactly how things should be run and receiving basic information back from the external application.
For more information see MSDN: Process Class[^]

Hello,
How do you set the margin (text) of a column of a ListView. For example:
|Column0 | Column1|
| | |
I am referring simply to the text margin of a column.
Given that you have to derive a class from ListView, what function do you override to set the margin or to draw the text based on a different margin?
Thanks,
Kuphryn

You must override WndProc and handle Windows messages for the header control (which are passed to their parent control's window, which is the List-View common control, which ListView encapsulates). You could handle the NM_CUSTOMDRAW message (sent using a WM_NOTIFY message, actually) and draw your text that way, perhaps extending the ListView control to provide a margin property of some sort (or just hard-code it, depending on what you need the control for).

i made a class that inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Control, IButtonControl
i want to make the button in an irregular shape, so i assigned the Region with a GraphicsPath object
mycontrol.Region = new Region(mygraphicpath)
the problem is that the quality of the button is horrible!not the same as when i draw it without using the Region object
|
|
|
|
|
Enable anti-aliasing for line drawing.

|
|

i had already tried changing SmoothingModes and CompositingQuality but nothing changes, the problem is there r missing things in the region of my control!
|

What do you mean "missing things"? Be a little more technical please. If you're missing certain UI elements like a handle or something, then you need to create a more advanced region.
Another option is to use an image format that supports an alpha channel (like PNG) for your button and then P/Invoke SetLayeredWindowAttributes and use the LWA_ALPHA (0x02) to mask the alpha channel. This will still result in a rectanglular control, but the transparent portions of the image will be transparent. Another problem is, though, that this is only supported on Win2K and higher.

Looking at your original code, you set the region as the size of the graphicspath, but your code does not show whether you in fact draw the graphics path onto the graphics object. Are you doing it?

How do you create a callback for an OnViseme event in c#?
I've got a simple TTS that I want to animate facial features with
But can't get any viseme events.
public void SpeakText(string text)
{
// Create a Text To Speech voice and speak the specified text.
try
{
//SpFlags = SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault ;
SpFlags = SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync;
Voice = new SpVoice();
if(selectedVoice != null)
{
Voice.Voice = selectedVoice;
}
Voice.Rate = rate;
//Voice.add_Viseme(new _ISpeechVoiceEvents_VisemeEventHandler(vismeHandler ));
Voice.Viseme +=new _ISpeechVoiceEvents_VisemeEventHandler( vismeHandler );
Voice.Speak(text, SpFlags);
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Speak error", "SpeechUI", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
}
}

Hi,
I need to add soem custome HTML text in the New Message window of OutlookExpress.
I used the ObjectFromLresult and the IHTMLDocument for getting the HTML of that part whose class is Internet_Explorer Server.I wrote a function which will take the handle of the windows & returns IHTMLDocument.It is as follows
Public Function IEDOMFromhWnd(ByVal hWnd As Integer) As IHTMLDocument
Dim IID_IHTMLDocument As System.Guid = New System.Guid("626FC520-A41E-11CF-731-00A0C9082637")
Dim lRes As Int32
Dim lMsg As Int32
Dim hr As Int32
Const SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG As Int32 = &H2
If Not hWnd.Equals(0) Then
If Not hWnd.Equals(0) Then
' Register the message
lMsg = RegisterWindowMessage("WM_HTML_GETOBJECT")
' Get the object
Call SendMessageTimeout(hWnd, lMsg, 0, 0, SMTO_ABORTIFHUNG, 1000, lRes)
If lRes Then
' Get the object from lRes
hr = ObjectFromLresult(lRes, IID_IHTMLDocument, 0, IEDOMFromhWnd)
If hr Then Throw New COMException(hr)
End If
End If
End If
End Function
But the problem is that I'm not getting the HTML Body even I used the Script property of IHTMLDocument. In the interface variable its showing <undefined value="">. Then in the Script property call Error triggers as Object not reference to an instance of an object.
Please Help me
Its Urgent

I am just wondering if I'm headed in the right direction for this.
Could I use the Bitmap.Clone() to specify the area to grab out of an existing image?
i.e.
Point point = new Point(0 , 0);
Size size = new Size( 100, 50 );
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle( point, size );
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap.Clone( rect, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.DontCare );
Will this get me the portion of the image that starts at 0,0 and has a width of 100 and a height of 50?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Well, that's what the documentation says. In most cases, I'd trust the documentation.

I'd go with Heath on this. As a little tip, if there is anything in the documentation that I don't quite understand I build myself a little demonstrator application (5 minutes work) to test my interpretation of the documentation. That way I can see if it works the way I think it does or not, and if not I now have a test platform to work from to see exactly how it is working.
I hope this helps.

I am trying to run the crystal reports custom tool on some VS/C# project reports and i am getting the error Load crpe32.dll failed. I tried registering it and got some error saying the entry point could not be found.
I know others have had this problem from some searching around but yet to find a fix for it.
My crpe32.dll is in Program Files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\1.0\Bin
|
|
|
|
|
The has to do with the PATH environment variable, which Windows/Windows NT uses to find executables. If that directory is not in the PATH environment variable, then just specifying it like [DllImport("crpe32.dll")] will not work since it can't be found. Also, you should not hard-code this path in the DllImportAttribute because it may not be the same on every machine. Instead, in your installer add that directory to the PATH environment.
One other way is to use Environment.GetFolderPath with the Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonProgramFiles enum member to get the path to "\Program Files\Common Files" and use Path.Combine to append "Crystal Decisions\1.0\Bin", which should be the same in all cases (the "Common Files" directory is the last configurable directory for Windows in this case). You could then P/Invoke LoadLibrary, GetProcAddress, and FreeLibrary to load the proc address and execute it like a delegate (create a delegate with a matching signature).

I really hate that! Especially when company X add a PATH to its internal cygwin dir, and you just dont understand why cygwin just wont run the updated programs. (because it added itself to the start of the PATH and not the end, because for some strange reason PATH is limited to 255 characters, all others are 32k long AFAIK).

Are you talking about executing only one copy of the game at a time or only once per user login? The 'once per session' is what's throwing me...

Ok, look into Mutex's. A C# example and a class you could use can be found here[^] on CodeProject.

Hello,
Anyone here who have worked with this component? I'm having some problems. When I add a new document and editor control to the document, I want the new document to be the active document with focus on the editor. I can't get this to work.
Thanks in advance!
