Why can't you just show all your text in the checkbox ? You can use Environment.NewLine in your string.

Again, why do you need to add a label, why can't you just set the text of the checkbox ?

I doubt it.

finally plz tell me is it possible to desply two controls in CHECKEDLISTBOX?

here what i mean is,
see i'm desplaying TemparatureProperty and now i need to add description abt TemparatureProperty, Which is another attribute of my backend xml file

so my old output is
checkbox---TemparatureProperty
and my new expected output is
checkbox---TemparatureProperty + (label)TemparatureProperty'sDescription

Hope u got me now.

How often do I need to answer this ? No.

I reiterate. Why on EARTH can't you just append the string to show both values ?

Assembly headache during Office plugin deployment

Hi,

I've been working on a plugin for Office, using .NET 2.0 - not using VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office). I'm almost finished, and I'm working on the deployment issues.

Appparently, there are a number of issues that one must avoid. First, you should always shim such plugins (see http://blogs.msdn.com/eric_carter/archive/2004/09/28/235500.aspx[^]), and fortunately there is a wizard to help you with that (http://blogs.msdn.com/eric_carter/archive/2006/06/23/641963.aspx[^]).

"Obviously", you should download the Primary Interop Assemblies (PIA) for Office and install them, and they can be found here[^].

Then, there is an KB article which describes a bug in Office that can be taken care of by downloading this[^] hotfix.

Finally, when all this has been taken care of, you can still run into trouble. Which is precisely what I've been experiencing. The thing is, my plugin has a reference to the Office applications it supports (Word,Excel,Outlook), or actually their PIA. But if the user doesn't have one of this application installed (I have an installation where Outlook isn't installed), it's PIA will not be installed either, and my plugin will try to reference a PIA which is not present. Which also means that when my plugin is being loaded from other Office applications, the load fails because the PIA cannot be found, even though that particular PIA will of course not be used. Needless to say, these PIA must be installed in the GAC and I have no control over them (other than shipping the install from Microsoft).

So, what are my options? Is there any way to "delay" the reference to an assembly? Or should I split my plugin into different assemblies, and load only the relevant assembly programmatically? I guess I could do that, but I would rather not if there is another way.

Hope someone will provide some insight into this - and I hope someone understood a word that I said!

Daníel

Problems creating controls dinamicly thru code

Hi,

I creating a SplitContainer inside a Panel thru code.

I have set the Dock property to fill, but when the splitContainer gets draw, it doesnt appear filled until i move the splitter.

Then it gets filled.

Can someone tell me why?
This is a resume of my code:

<br />
SplitContainer region = new SplitContainer();<br />
<br />
region.SuspendLayout();<br />
this.SuspendLayout();<br />
<br />
region.BorderStyle = BorderStyle.Fixed3D;<br />
region.SplitterDistance = d;<br />
region.TabIndex = regions.Count;<br />
region.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;<br />
regions[regions.Count-1].Panel1.Controls.Add(region);<br />
<br />
region.ResumeLayout(false);<br />
regions.Add(region);<br />
<br />

Any tips?

Thx,

Nuno

this.ResumeLayout ?

Or perhaps just Invalidate(); ?

I also don't see you adding the control to the Controls collection, does that happen below ?

Yes, it does.

It really is a question of layout resume.

Just to give it a try, i took of all the Suspend and Resume Layout() calls.

It worked, straight out of the box!

But this is not a very good pratice, right?

So.. how should i do this kind of operation?

In which order?

This is how i done it:

this.SuspendLayout();
mainPanel.SuspendLayout();
region.SuspendLayout();

...

region.ResumeLayout(false);
this.mainPanel.ResumeLayout(false);
this.ResumeLayout(false);

?

I have to admit, I didn't even know it was expected. I write a pretty big winforms app, although I'm not sure how often it uses dynamic controls, I know it does, without issue.

windows service to server

I have developed a windows service application in .net 2.0
It all works find and can install it successfully.
How do I transfer the executed file(s) for this program to the server so that it can be run from the services on the server?
What is the process related to this area please?
Thanks

You can install the service with
InstallUtil -i C:\somewhere\myService.exe

Alternatively you could build an installer project.

Please note, the way I currently install it on the server is by copying the whole project files from Dev machine for the windows service to the server, and run installutil.
But I would like to just have the project files on the dev machine and not on the server.
Not sure if this is making sense to you?
Thanks

Not a good idea. Under the .NET CLR, any code running from ANY network source is, by default, not trusted. The code runs under many security restrictions, possibly stopping your service from even running, depending on what it's doing.

So, when the server you're talking about restarts and your dev machine isn't running or isn't available, then what? What does the server do with a service it can't start?

Locking windows desktop

Hi,

I wonder how to lock up the windows desktop in C#, meaning that the user can't do anything, just sees a form...

I've been thinking about using a form with maximized window state and topmost = true, but then I still need to disable the ALT + TAB shortcut somehow...

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Your help is greatly appreciated Smile | :)

Why would you want to do this ?

One way would be to put a window over the desktop, which is transparent, and doesn't appear in the taskbar.

I'm working on a project in school to lock public computers and to regain access with a PIN code..

Yes, I've thought of that myself but this can be ignored by switching to another app with CONTROL - TAB, no?

Regards Smile | :)

If the window were set to always on top it wouldn't matter if they used alt-tab. Although the most secure way (relatively speaking) would be to logout.

You can catch an event when your form loses focus, and bring it back to the front. But, yes, logging out is the best way to do it, Windows is already built around that.
