I am using those codes:
[ReadOnly(true)]
public string List
{
get { return m_strList; }
set { m_strList = value; }
}

I wanted to prevent the user to change the List but it changed the color black to light gray bec of readonly changed its color text. I tried to changed its text color(like ViewForeColor). No luck. what are your suggestions that how to change its text color?

In C# the data type is decimal. You use Convert.ToDecimal to parse a string.

string str = reader.GetString(reader.GetOrdinal("Amount"));  // A varchar
decimal amount = Convert.ToDecimal(str);

There's also a DataReader.GetDecimal() method, but the above code is to illustrate the point.

hi,
I have a label in my application. What we can do in current senario is , we can use background color to define background color of my label. What i want is, i can able to define some portion of label to paint in one color and some portion in different color and etc. To be consize, i can able to define any number of color combination in my label. Is there any way to do this.

i think you have to write your own label control with custom paint method.

Hi
I developed C# component , when I call that component in my VC.6 Code the CoCreateInstance is failing

hr = CoCreateInstance (theCLSID, NULL, CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER, IID_IUnknown, (void**)&pIUnk )

In the above case the CoCreateInstance is failing with the error value of -2147221164 ( Class not registered).

If I modified the code as
hr = CoCreateInstance (theCLSID, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, IID_IUnknown, (void**)&pIUnk ) ;

everything works fine.Can any one tell why HRESILT is failing in the first case?

Thanks in Advance

My C# DLL I made as .msi file and when you run the .msi file
it will do the registration automatically.

I'm not 100% au-fait with all the technical details of C# COM.

However CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER in good old C++ COM was always used for an EXE COM Server. Your C# component is probably a DLL Assembly which is probably created as a CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER.

CLSCTX_ALL is the catch all value, so thats why that will be working as it will be creating the instance as inproc server.

General questions about C# capabilities

I'm preparing a thesis about Mobile Agents. I'll need to write some applications and I think of using C# for that. But since I'm new to C#, I don't know whether C# will satisfy my requirements. May anyone help me by answering these questions:

Does C# support RMI?

Does it support Mobility of code, more specific: the mobility of software agents?

To what extent does it support the network programming?

Finally, is it a byte-coded language?

hi to all,

i would like to create an app (well implement it in an app ive already started) that can handle dropping of toolbox items onto a canvas.

similarly to the way its done in the likes of dreamweaver and flash etc., where a toolbox item is dragged from a toolbar and when it enters the canvas perimiter it changes (visually) to what the item will look like on the canvas, does this need to be a bitmap/png or can i simple display the forms object (or whatever is being dropped) as it will appear after the mouse is released?

my canvas is a richtextbox? will this handle this or do i need to create a custom control as the canvas, items being dropped will vary from form objects to images to text etc.

are there any articles here (or elsewhere) that may assist me, ive tried searching but my search syntax doesnt quite get me the answers im looking for.

i am assuming i will need to create a class that implements the IDataObject interface? or is there another way that is better ?

kind regards

how to use the same variable in c#, in HTML Jug-Head 0:40 2 Nov '04

Patience! Posting your question over and over will not get it answered any faster...

Besides, your question would be better handled in the ASP.NET Forum...

The variable is defined to C# only and is never passed to HTML. So, the only way your going to see the value of the variable is if the C# code passes it to some field in your HTML, such as stored the value in a hidden TextBox...

do you mean that you want to assign a asp.net(C#) variable to a javascript variable or something?

don't know about pocket. in .NET regular framework this will work:

System.Diagnostics.Process pr1 = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
pr1.StartInfo.FileName = "test.exe";
pr1.Start();
System.Diagnostics.Process pr2 = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
pr2.StartInfo.FileName = "test.exe";
pr2.Start();

hello everybody,

in first time sorry about my english.

I'm doing an application that must count the number of pages people prints in the printer installed in the server. This application will run in a windows server 2003. since now, I've been using Active Directory (IADsPrintQueueOperations, IADsPrintJob,etc) to pause, resume and cancel the document from the print queue and to read the number of pages of the document. the problem arrives when somebody print some copies of a word pad or pdf or Internet Explorer document. When this happens, the program only count the first copy, but allow to print all the copies.

I've been reading and I've found that I have to use the API "winspool.drv" with the functions EnumJobs or GetJob, to look the TotalPages or something like that, but I don't know how to use it and I've not found any example in c# (only in visual basic or c++, and i don't know).

Someone can help me?

thanks

Dear CPians,

I have written a userControl in C#.Net. I want to add XP Visual Styles to it. Any idea How to go for it?
Any article links or examples would be helpful.

Note: there are several articles both in CP as well as in msdn which deals with adding the XP Visual Style to the application whereas I need to add the XP Visual Styles to the UserControl only.

Regards,

Jay.
