ArgumentException at building Peter Reiter1-Jan-04 23:26 Peter Reiter 1-Jan-04 23:26  hi I get everytime a Exception error shortly after successfully compiling i just get it, when the compile mode is on release and not debug this is the error (translated by me, orign was german): An not controlled Exception of the type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in system.drawing.dll. Additional Information: false paramter used. that's the error, even before Form1_Load can happen the disassembly also tells me something Adress: System.Drawing.Bitmap..ctor and a yellow arrow is beside of the following line: 00000067 push dword ptr [ esp + 10h ] posting the sourcecode is a very bad idea, more than 1200 lines in 5 different files and no part is highlighted when the eception occours i hope anyone can help me with handling the error Re: ArgumentException at building Mazdak1-Jan-04 23:50 Mazdak 1-Jan-04 23:50  beta3 wrote: that's the error, even before Form1_Load can happen It may happent in your InitializeComponent(),You may use some GDI+ there.

Thanks, Sridhar. Re: exclude private members in docs Heath Stewart2-Jan-04 5:36 Heath Stewart 2-Jan-04 5:36  That utility sucks. Use a good - and free - one like NDoc[^]. A lot of people and companies use it. It can generate both HTML Help and Help 2 documentation (the latter is what VS.NET, MSDN Library, and a couple others use now), as well as a few other formats. By default, private and internal members are documented, but you can opt to include or exclude these individually (as well as protected and public members...and many, many other options!).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Anyways, i installed it and could use it now; it's pretty cool. thanks once again. if u have any idea of how to get the dll i mentioned plz let me know. i was busy with some thing else so couldn't let you know abt this early. tks, Sridhar. Re: exclude private members in docs Heath Stewart6-Jan-04 2:15 Heath Stewart 6-Jan-04 2:15  Just use the 1.2 installation at http://ndoc.sourceforge.net/download.html[^]. We're always updating features and testing new things, and building any open-source project with the latest non-stable code is at your own risk. I even use the installation for my actual documentation and I actually write code for the project (though it's been a while).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Reading Image from Office Applications amohammed1-Jan-04 23:12 amohammed 1-Jan-04 23:12  Hi I know... ...How to read the data of an image from a disk file and store it to an XML file after the data is encoded to base64.

Re: Reading Image from Office Applications Heath Stewart2-Jan-04 5:33 Heath Stewart 2-Jan-04 5:33  Look over the PowerPoint and Office APIs. You could use VBA in PowerPoint to write a macro that does something like this. If you want to read-in the PPT from your program, you'll have to interop the PowerPoint and Office assemblies (there are PIAs - primary interop assemblies - for Office apps on Microsoft's site). You should then read the Office Programming documentation. If I remember right, you can also use the Microsoft.VisualBasic.Compatibility assembly (even from C# - it's just IL after all) to use the IPicture (or is it IStdPicture? ...don't remember) if PowerPoint still uses that.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: Reading Image from Office Applications Heath Stewart2-Jan-04 6:07 Heath Stewart 2-Jan-04 6:07  There was no ambiquity, I knew exactly what you were talking about. What I'm saying is that you should read the documentation for the property type that the image/picture properties return. That may have a Save method or something. Keep in mind, however, that you can't just serialize the type returned - you have to serialize the image represented by the property type, which is implementation specific. For example, I'm pretty sure you can save an image to a file but you might have to read that in and then base64-encode it. It probably supports writing to a stream, but this is a COM IStream, not a .NET Stream which works differently (so you'd have to define a COM-like IStream and implement that, perhaps wrapping the .NET Stream object). What I can't figure out is how the Shape ties into this. Just looking at the interop assembly, it would seem that a picture is translated to a Shape, which might not preserve the actual image format (so, if you try to create an Image from a stream, it wouldn't work because it's no longer a JPG, BMP, GIF, etc.). All I can say is read the PowerPoint and Office object model documentation. I couldn't find much, but I'm not sure I have the PowerPoint programming documentation installed (although I thought I specified a Complete install).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Mohammed Ali How to create dynamic rectangle on window form? kseema1-Jan-04 22:19 kseema 1-Jan-04 22:19  Hi This is seema..I am intended to design user interface in C#.net for some hardware.For that I have to draw 24 filled rectangles on the form.I can do it simply using FillRectangle().But my aim is to draw one rectangle using some user defined function then when it will appear on the form then i want to copy it and past it on the form itself to creat more 23 rectangles and set there properties according to my wish(like length width and ID).Again I have to do specific event like mouse click event on those rectangles....So can anyone please suggest me how to do it?...I went through many site but not getting exactly what I want.PLZ PLZ tell me if anyone knows.... Regards. Seema seema kumari Re: How to create dynamic rectangle on window form? Mazdak1-Jan-04 22:50 Mazdak 1-Jan-04 22:50  Your question is not clear for me,You want those Rectangles for some copy/pasting,width prperties.... why don't you simply use TextBox. But what ever your task is,youcan create a Windows Control and derive it from Control or TextBox class,and add properties in that or customize their existing properties,then it is easy to have 24 of it and set properties for each of them.

Colin Angus Mackay1-Jan-04 22:57 Colin Angus Mackay 1-Jan-04 22:57  You could derive a class from Control and override the OnPaint to draw your rectangle. You can also create events on the controls and set various properties.

How can I protect my code inside the .dll assembly (MSIL) from being decompiled and visible? there are some softwares out there that can reverse engineer a compiled .dll into a good source code. 2. How they give license and perform protective actions for such controls while if anyone purchase it can give the .dll to friends and they use it wihout any payment. (If somebuddy can give a good source on web about these sort of commercial related knowledge I really appreciate) 3. Is it possible to make a control not to obey its container transparency? I mean a control that can have any opaque value independent of it's container's opaque value. --- "Art happens when you least expect it."

How can I protect my code inside the .dll assembly (MSIL) from being decompiled and visible? there are some softwares out there that can reverse engineer a compiled .dll into a good source code. Compilers that target the CLR ALL produce Intermediate Language, or IL. This - like Java bytecode - allows the system to JIT the IL to native code and execute it, so that it can be run on any OS (Microsoft's problem with .NET is that it relies too much on native OS resources, but it does provide a consistent UI). The Microsoft .NET Framework SDK even comes with a disassembler, ildasm.exe. For those of us who can read IL, we don't even need decompilers like .NET Reflector[^] (though it is nice at times!). There are just as many problems that can output this source code as well, although I have yet to see one that does an impeckable job with more advanced source code (using all the tricks of the languages). All you can do - which is true of any program in any language - is make it hard and, therefore, costly to do so. I remember the words of Bruce Schneier with questions like these, who basically says that anything is crackable - it's just a question about the cost of resources to do so. Make your program work well and hide your important code in complexity, or write native DLLs and P/Invoke or interop (use COM to make this easy) the functions and components in those native DLLs. Keep in mind, though, that they too can be decompiled (though decompiling C/C++ libs is more difficult, more expensive, and less correct than with IL and bytecode). You can get obfuscators to obfuscate private members, but for every obfuscator there is a de-obfuscator (and they've really never stopped me - and I'm sure others - anyway, from seeing how something is done for academic reasons).   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: Control development quesions Heath Stewart2-Jan-04 6:47 Heath Stewart 2-Jan-04 6:47  It does show the value, either in the static constructor (.cctor) or in an instance constructor (.ctor), depending on where you initialize the fields. So no, you shouldn't store a password in your code if it protected anything important. Same goes for private keys you use to decrypt values. If you store the private key, someone need only extract it and decrypt your values, whether they are in IL or your app.config (or proprietary) file.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

Re: Control development quesions Heath Stewart2-Jan-04 9:03 Heath Stewart 2-Jan-04 9:03  Even a password stored in a native library isn't safe. First ask yourself why you need to store a password. Second, ask yourself what conditions are required of your application, like being Internet-aware. If it MUST be, you could always pull an encrypted password (say, through HTTPS - HTTP over SSL - using a Web Service or .NET Remoting, or even a simple GET or POST HTTP request) from the 'net. If not, you should look into more advanced cryptography (like using the System.Security.Cryptography namespace elements). There are a couple tutorials here on CP, but you should try googling for some examples and discussions.   -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?
