I can see how you might call this reflection, but I wouldn't. It's like loading all the classes in the java path and then using reflection to find out which classes belong to a specific package. It works, but it's not a built in capability, per se.

Definitely true.

You can use the Dependency Walker (depends.exe, comes with the Platform SDK which is installed by default with Visual Studio) to see the functions exported from the native library.
Read Interoperating with Unmanaged Code[^] in the .NET Framework SDK.
If your library contains exported functions, you use the DllImportAttribute to declare them as externed methods for use in your classes. If it is a COM server, you import the typelib using tlbimp.exe (or VS.NET can do it if you add a reference to a COM library) and, optionally, ActiveX controls using aximp.exe (which VS.NET can also do if you add an ActiveX reference to your toolbar and drag it on your form).
Everything you need to know is in the first link above.

Is it possible to Dock your application to the System (Desktop). An very good example of such an application is "Magnifier" which comes bundled with Windows. Your application should behave like a Toolbar.
It should so happen that the application should always be active and all the other application open should not overlap your application.
Is it possible to do this ?

I am developing a software where in I require to block the usage of Keyboard and Mouse and hence forth deny the usage of the system to the user.
With KeyEventArgs I can block the usage of certain individual characters. But since i want to deny access of the whole system to the user, I need to mask even the Keyboard events such as "Alt+Tab" or "Ctrl+Alt+Del" etc...
Any kind of help is appreciated.

You can do this, or at least partially do this, utilizing Win32 keyboard and mouse hooks. Search the articles of this site, there's a few good ones covering Win32 hooks in .NET.

If you want to disable everything except a key combination you want to unlock the keyboard and mouse, you'll have to write a low-level keyboard hook into your app. This will let you get keyboard messages system wide.
You might want to read this article on CP[^] for a little hooking in C# and follow the links in that article to some work by Dino Esposito on the subjet.
Also, search through the posts here in C# and VB.NET for some discussions on hooking the keyboard.

A simpler way is to add an IMessageFilter using Application.AddMessageFilter and doesn't require P/Invoking anything or using low-level hooks. It simply gives your implementation a chance to filter messages before they're dispatched to their target windows (controls).

Hmmm... Didn't know that. I'll look into that for future reference. Thanks Heath!

A much easier way and more efficient way (without having to P/Invoke native APIs) is to simply add a IMessageFilter to pre-filter any messages sent to ONLY your application (as opposed to using a system-wide, low-level keyboard hook).
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
public class Test : Form, IMessageFilter
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Test t = new Test();
Application.AddMessageFilter(t);
Application.Run(t);
Application.RemoveMessageFilter(t);
}
public Test()
{
TextBox tb = new TextBox();
tb.Location = new Point(8, 8);
this.Controls.Add(tb);
tb = new TextBox();
tb.Location = new Point(8, 30);
this.Controls.Add(tb);
}
private const int WM_KEYDOWN = 0x0100;
private const int WM_LBUTTONDOWN = 0x0201;
private const int WM_RBUTTONDOWN = 0x0204;
private const int WM_XBUTTONDOWN = 0x020b;
public bool PreFilterMessage(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == WM_KEYDOWN ||
m.Msg == WM_LBUTTONDOWN ||
m.Msg == WM_RBUTTONDOWN ||
m.Msg == WM_XBUTTONDOWN)
return true;
return false;
}
} Pay attention to the PreFilterMessage method, which is the implementation for IMessageFilter.PreFilterMessage . You could filter other application messages this way as well. Anything that goes through the application message pump can be filtered.

I really was informed by these information, Thank you Heath.
But how can one get the constant values for messages like WM_KEYDOWN...etc.

They are defined in the header files, take a look at windows.h for example.

how do i put a scroll on a picture box or just how do i create a image where i can scroll
can somebody give me code examples
chad

Place your PictureBox control onto another panel. Whenever you set the bitmap of the PictureBox control, set the size of the PictureBox control to be the size of the bitmap. A Windows scrollbar will appear allowing you to scroll.
Additionally, you can write your own control to do this, but that's probably a little more work.

I think it is not possible with the PictureBox. But you can do a workaround.
Add a panel which is small in size than the PictureBox and set the AutoScroll property of Panel to True.
And also make the PictureBox's SizeMode property to AutoSize so that it will be big enough to have the Image without any sterching and you can see the full image when you scroll the panel.
I think for doing this, there is no need for sample code. It is very straight forward.

Wasn't entirely sure where to post this deployment question... sticking with the language the component was written in.
Is it possible to use the Application Updater Component with a Linux Apache server? I've set up a very basic test app but it is not working. No error messages and an empty log file. I know the app is connecting because I can see it in my firewall and webserver logs. I've verified that directory browsing is enabled, so I'm thinking that the problem could be that I'm not using IIS. I'd really prefer to not have to set up my own IIS server since I'm already paying another company to host a webpage for me and I'd like to just use a separate directory there. Any help would be appreciated!

It's been a while since I read the corresponding documentation for the AUC, but IIRC it only needs to get a manifest/version file that points to the update files, so what web server you use shouldn't matter. I'd say install IIS on your development machine (comes in handy many times anyway) and get it to work on that. Then move all the support files as-is to Apache, update the update URL in your .config file (or wherever it's stored), and try again.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, I guess having IIS setup would probably make life a bit easier for me anyway. I'll take that advice. Thanks again.

Hi, everyone
I don't have much knowledge about component or dll these kind of stuff. When I add a dll to my .Net project using add reference, some of them ok, some of them no. So what kind of dll or exe etc. can be added into .Net project by Add reference? And what's difference between the '.Net' tab and 'com' tab?
Thanks in advance.

The .NET tab lists .NET Assemblies. When you click the Browse... button, you must pick a .NET assembly which uses the same extension. These contain a different PE/COFF header bit and different executable segments. If you want a shell extension that visual identifies .NET Assemblies (only .dlls, though, but those are all you can reference using VS.NET) by using an overlay icon, download and install my Shell Extensions for .NET Assemblies[^].
The COM tab lists COM controls (ActiveX controls) and COM typelibs (design-time discovery information, which VB6 and below uses as well). When you click the Browse... button, you must pick a DLL or OCX that contains COM information.
The Projects tab lists other projects in your solution. Use this when developing a multi-project solution to keep assembly references in sync with the current build configuration.
You should read some books on .NET development. These concepts are necessary to understand if you want to start writing anything other than "Hello, world" applications.

How can you go about developing a download manager in C# that would act as an accelerator (like Download Accelerator Plus) by segmenting the file into multiple fragments and downloading each simultaneously?

See the HttpWebRequest.AddRange method documentation in the .NET Framework SDK, which includes an example. The HTTP Range header specifies which byte range you want to get. See RFC 2616, Section 14, Subsection 35[^] for more information on the Range header.
This is assuming that the HTTP daemon supports it. This is only supported in HTTP/1.1. Be sure to catch exceptions when it's not supported, though the server will most likely just hand you the entire file without complaining on a single request.
For multi-threading, I recommend asynchronous calls (see HttpWebRequest.BeginGetResponse ) as opposed to handling threads yourself. You can implement a ProgressBar by using HttpWebResponse.GetResponseStream and reading and writing the bytes to a file (in that loop is where you'd increment your progress bar).

Quoting from MSDN:
Don't control the execution of worker threads from your main program (using events, for example). Instead, design your program so that worker threads are responsible for waiting until work is available, executing it, and notifying other parts of your program when finished. If your worker threads do not block, consider using thread pool threads. Monitor.PulseAll is useful in situations where worker threads block.
What does that mean? Specifically, what does it mean to say that a thread blocks or does not block?
Thank you.
Sammy
