Re: How to figure out whether an enum is defined in an assembly.

Exactly. If you open the file in .Net Reflector, then you can search for MyEnum and get the namespace from there. But why not just make Type of MyEnum available in the DescriptionAttribute derived class, instead of the name; that way you can save the time it takes to call Assembly.GetType. As long as you know how to create your own attribute which accepts a Type instantiation and has a Type property, and how to use Assembly.GetCustomAttributes, you have the Type

Are you trying to write a generic attribute or one that only works with MyEnum? If it's the former, I can't see any way around passing typeof(MyEnum) to the constructor of SomeEnumAttribute.

there is a way though:
SomeEnum[Description(typeof(MyEnum),"value")]
write a constructor in SomeEnum attribute derived class and lo and behold you have the MyEnum type in the attribute class.

You need to google first, if you have "It's urgent please" mentioned in your question.

Hi friends,

I want to get the path of the current executable using C#.

In VB.NET, we do it something like this:

So it's a console application, try this...

Use Replace function from C# code.

Something like:

TextBox1.Text.Replace("'","''");

Note: That is the correct way to escape a string for some specific databases, like MS SQL Server and MS Access. For other databases you need to do it differently.

It's important to use the correct escaping method for the specific database, otherwise the code is still wide open for SQL injections.

If you use a parameterised query instead, there is no need for escaping.

Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Your application is wide open for SQL injection attacks.

Please instruct your users not to enter this in the text field:

','','',8);drop table Users;--

Alternatively, you can correct the code. Use parameterised queries instead of concatenating the data into the query.

well the solution you should take, and not just to solve you issue but make it more secure, is to use parameters[^] with the sql queries

If you set the ShowItemToolTips property of the ListView control, then you can add a ListViewItem with has the ToolTip property set

Problem in UnInstalling a BHO setup?

I had a BHO appliaction (in-process dll injected in IE) which was developed in Vs2005 c#.

I had made an msi setup with the help of Setup and Deployment Project.
This was the installer class I had added in my project which generates the required dll...

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Configuration.Install;
using Microsoft.Win32;
using System.IO;


namespace BHOPDF
{
    [RunInstaller(true)]
    public partial class Installer1 : Installer
    {
        public Installer1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

       [System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand)]
        public override void Commit(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState)
        {
                base.Commit(savedState);
        }



        [System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand)]
        public override void Install(System.Collections.IDictionary stateSaver)
        {
            base.Install(stateSaver);
        }

        protected override void OnCommitting(System.Collections.IDictionary savedState)
        {
            // Get the location of regasm
            string regasmPath = System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory() + @"regasm.exe";
            // Get the location of our DLL
            string componentPath = typeof(Installer1).Assembly.Location;
              // Execute regasm
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(regasmPath, "/codebase \"" + componentPath + "\"");
            base.OnCommitting(savedState);
        }

    
       
        [System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission(System.Security.Permissions.SecurityAction.Demand)]

        {   string regasmPath = System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory() + @"regasm.exe";
            // Get the location of our DLL
            string componentPath = typeof(Installer1).Assembly.Location;
            // Execute regasm
            System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(regasmPath, "/u \"" + componentPath + "\"");
          
            base.OnBeforeUninstall(savedState);

        {
         
            base.Uninstall(savedState);
        }

    }
}

The problem is after I uninstall my setup, and If I check the registry
"Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Browser Helper Objects"
my dll gets un-injected.

After uninstalling, and after sometime, If I check the registry again there my dll is visible as injected. How this is happened?

What was the mistake in the code, can anyone suggest something to solve this?

Datagridview delete problem

3-Jun-09 20:03

hi,

here's the layout:
- datagridview with 5 columns, last column is CheckBox Column.

the purpose :
- by pressing a button = deleting each row that has a marked CheckBox

the current algorithem :

if (dataGridView1.RowCount > 0)
{
for (int k = 0; k < dataGridView1.RowCount; k++)
{

if ((bool)dataGridView1.Rows[k].Cells[5].Value)
{
dataGridView1.Rows.RemoveAt(k);
}
}
}

the problem :

after the first deletion, the

"(bool)dataGridView1.Rows[k].Cells[5].Value"
throws this excption :
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

anybody ???

THANKS Smile | :)

The problem is:
You count the rows. and pass as k, but the .rows[k] is zero based index, so you need to "Count -1"

Another method is:

foreach(DataGridViewRowsCollection dvrc in dataGridView1.Rows)
{
// To show how to contiune
// dvrc.cell[5]
}

1. for (int k = 0; k < dataGridView1.RowCount; k++)
is'nt tha problem becase :

k < dataGridView1.RowCount
if i have 7 rows it'll start at 0 and at 6 becase 7<7 is false

2.
i've tried to change it to foreach, but still the same problem
