Hmmm
I don't understand.
these are the folders I have at that location:
CSharpContextItems
CSharpProjectItems
CSharpProjects
DesignerTemplates
eCSharpProjectItems
VC#Wizards
VCPackages
Which one do I have to touch to add a tab with my component?
|
|
|
|
|
The directory names should make it obvious, but if you're not sure - look. Like I said, I had no problems figuring it out.
For instance, I wanted to create an interface item, so I copied the related files for the class file from CSharpProjectItems and VC#Wizards and modified them.
Just explore - it's how the world was founded.

look, everytime you answer me you say: "explore by yourself."
Would I come here to post a question if I had found an answer by exploring?
I AM exploring, but I try this too because I work with tight deadlines. Is it that bad? or what is the whole point of this forum? As a matter of fact everything can be found by exploring so this forum would be useless if we all applied that policy, huh?
I'm just trying to say: don't assume I'm not exploring. I am. But I ask for help to quicken things.
Now, the reason I ask is because there a very concrete thing I don't know: how to make my addin component appear in a TAB in vs.net, a code-style tab, like a .cs tab. I don't even know if that's possible. Is the answer in the folders you told me? Which one? How?

Look at the directory names: there's projects, project items, etc. If you actually open the files, it's obvious.
It would take an entire article to tell you exactly what to do. I did tell you were to look, since it seemed like you didn't even know before. Forum members are different, and most of us regulars don't just hand over the answers - you'll never learn anything that way. In this case, though, it's a matter of content length: it would take an entire article but can be discovered in a matter of minutes.
Most of what you need to do you can copy, paste, and modify ever so slightly to get what you want, like copying an existing .vsdir file from CSharpProjectItems and creating your own (works best for an installer) pointing to your own directories and items inside that. Create sub-directories in the VC#Wizards directory. Look at examples like CSharpAddClassWiz.
It's really quite simple. You can add new file types and projects to VS.NET this way.
And I don't know what you mean by "TAB". Do you know now many tabs there are throughout VS.NET? Dozens if not hundreds. If you mean in the toolbox where you'd find Windows Forms, Web Forms, and other components (it's not a "TAB"), then see the ToolBoxItem class documentation in the .NET Framework SDK. The class documentation includes plenty of information and example code.

Thanks a lot. I fully understand your reasons and endorse them, too.
By TAB I mean a tab like a code page tab. When you open a .cs file where do you see it in VS? In a code tab! or a .cpp file, etc...
That's what I mean by tab, and that's what I don't see in the files in those folders....

You mean a window? How am I - or anyone - supposed to help you if you don't use proper terminology. What if I went to a doctor and told them my doodad hurt?
You can't open a component in a window, but that also depends on what you mean by "component" which you mentioned before. A component in .NET is a compiled class that gets instantiated on a Windows Form or UserControl or ASP.NET page or control (among other things).
Before you were talking about tabs, .cs files, and projects. It seemed like you were talking about new project item types (like when you right-click on a project or project folder and select Add New-<Add New Item....

sorry
that's what I meant
sorry!
I call that a tab....
Yes, that's what I thought: it can't be done.
Sorry for the inconveniences and thanks a lot.
I hope to have more interesting questions in the near future, and I am sure I will ....

It is possible!
I just did it with VSIP
Thanks for your help anyway.
thanks a lot.

Hi
I use C# to programmatically control windows media encoder to encode audio from microphone to streaming server using a push connection. However, there was a delay of around 8 seconds from voice in the microphone to the player. Anyone knows what might have been wrong here?
Thanks

Nothing is wrong, that's the way it works for any served up stream. I've noticed about an 11 second delay coming from my QuickCam to the clients. The delay will vary depending on the speed on the client connection, the speed of the server machine, the speed of the machine doing the capture and encoding,... Also, some encoder must have a minimum amount of data to encode because their schemes may work over the span of a few seconds of data instead of what in front of it right now...

hai there,
i need your valuable information. i don't have any big esposure in think client application. but now i need to do that.
i need your opinion.
which method is good,reliable,efficient,less time consuming and cost effective to store picture files (for a cart application) in sql server or any database.

Create a binary field (like an image field type in your database to store these images. Then use a SqlParameter for your SqlCommand like so:
SqlCommand cmd = conn.CreateCommand();
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO MyTable (Image) VALUES (@Image)";
SqlParameter image = cmd.Parameters.Add("@Image", SqlDbType.Image);
using (MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream())
{
bmp.Save(ms, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
byte[] buffer = new byte[ms.Length];
ms.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);
image.Value = buffer;
}
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();You should, of course, add some exception handling. How you get the image data isn't so much important as how you store it.
Another alternative is to use your database as a file system and only store a reference to the image files. This make it easier to display the images in a web page since you don't have to worry about either saving the images to a virtual directory when requested, or writing a handler (perhaps even an ASP.NET .aspx page) to extract the data on the fly (if you do, youmight consider caching against the query string params). This is what we do for the documen management portion of our application.

From the article:Cutting Edge Windows Hooks in the _NET Framework -- MSDN Magazine, October 2002.htm,
i download its demo and test it.
in this function:
public void Install()
{
m_hhook = SetWindowsHookEx(
m_hookType,
m_filterFunc,
IntPtr.Zero,
0
//(int) AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId()
};
}
When the 4th param is setting to AppDomain.GetCurrentThreadId,the hook does work.
While it is setting to 0(article says global),the hook doesnt work.
What is wrong ?

|
|
|
|
Which hook are you trying to implement? Not all hooks work in the global context.

the hook in the VNCHook.dll is a global one that means every changed message in the desktop will be hooked by the VNCHook.
this can help decide whether the desktop has been changed.
now the problem is how to use it ?
|
|
|
|
|
Well, the MSDN article isn't going to be any help because it knows nothing of the VNCHOOK.DLL. It's not from Microsoft, so their not going to tell you how it works.
The VNCHOOK.DLL was written by a bunch of guys at RealVNC.com. There are no forums on their site and the documentation is REALLY sparse. There is also NOTHING on the normal news groups about the .DLL, other than people trying to remove it from their systems... 
If your not able to find a support group that knows specifically about the VNCHook, you're on your own. The guys who originally wrote this thing don't do support for individual users and developers, so...

All our (Crystal) reports are created using NT Authentication (integrated security). At run-time we want to switch to SQL Server Authentication.
We are using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the database is always SQL Server.
I pasted our code below. This code works fine as long as the database is on the same (local) SQL Server. As soon as we specify another database server then the statement Table.TestConnectivity() always return false!
Can anyone help?
ConnectionInfo ConInfo = new ConnectionInfo();<br />
ConInfo.DatabaseName = "AA_DB40";<br />
ConInfo.ServerName = "MyDatabaseServer";<br />
ConInfo.UserID = "sa";<br />
ConInfo.Password = "secret";<br />
<br />
foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table Table in ReportObject.Database.Tables)<br />
{<br />
TableLogOnInfo LogonInfo = Table.LogOnInfo;<br />
LogonInfo.ConnectionInfo=ConInfo;<br />
Table.ApplyLogOnInfo(LogonInfo);<br />
if (Table.TestConnectivity())<br />
{<br />
Table.Location = ConInfo.DatabaseName+".dbo."+Table.Name;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = ReportObject;

An exception type and message would be far more helpful. If one is being thrown, please reply with what it is.
One possibility depends on how ASP.NET runs and what user SQL Server runs as. If ASP.NET runs as the default local user ASPNET, it - by default - will have no access to the SQL Server (even though SQL Server authentication is used, certain security settings may not let an unauthenticated user access the remote machine). Without knowing more about the nature of the problem, however, it's hard to know. This idea is probably not the problem, though - just an idea.
On a side note, you should not store the password in your assembly. Either encrypt it to the registry or .config file (you can actually do both of these, where the encrypted text is read from the registry automatically using the machineKey defined in your application's .config or the machine.config, or a myriad of other ways - search CodeProject for more details). This literal text will be easy to view even using ildasm.exe from the .NET Framework SDK or several other disassemblers/decompilers.
You can obfuscate your code. Most will encrypt literal text, but those aren't too hard to get around. It's just a deterrent.

hai there,
i have a base class and a derived class. A < B.
both classes have a method of same signature and same name.
if i call that method on my derived class the base class method will execute. what is the actual tecnical side behind this ?. if i want to execute the derived class method then what i want to do ?
What is the difference between multi level and multiple inheritance ?
how can i impliemnt multilevel inheritance in C#.
need detailed description. other wise show me some usefull links

To achieve what you're saying, declare the method on the base class as 'virtual' and the method on the derived class as 'override'.
Due to technical difficulties my previous signature, "I see dumb people" will be off until further notice. Too many people were thinking I was talking about them...

hi,
Answer to your first question :
class A
{
public virtual void Display()
{
// I'm in the base class
}
}
class B : A
{
public override void Display()
{
// I'm in the derived class
}
}
the notable thing in this piece of code is the use of the word "override". This example demonstrates the polymorphic behaviour. If "Display()" is called from an object of class B the overridden display of class B will be called. Where as if the same function is called from the object of class A then the base class Display will be called.
Internally this is done by maintaining a virtual pointer table. Whenever user tries to call the Disply method thru the derived class object the CLR looks at the VPTR table and determines which Display method to call and resolves the same...
Answer to your second Question :
Assume a class hierarchy :
Living_Organism
|
Mammal Insect
|
Boy Girl
Now in this heirarchy the class Boy is indirectly inherited from the top level class "Living_Organism" thus this is a multilevel inheritence.
But if you derive a class from two classes at the same time then it is called multiple inheritence. For example
class IceCream : Milk,Food
{
}
class IceCream demonstrates multiple inheritence because it is derived from more then one class (Milk and Food).
Note : Multiple inheritence is not allowed directly in C#. But you can simulate it upto some extent by inheriting a class from another class and an interface.
class Test : Name ,IAge
{
}
the class Test is derived from a class "Name" and an interface "IAge".
You can know more about all these from the following link...
http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/1040/05/1.html
Hope this answers your query...
regards,
Aryadip.
Cheers !! and have a Funky day !!

Hi Guys,
I have data retrieved from diff ports using sockect connections. I got all the data inserted into SQL server database. I need to display the information exactly the same it was saved from my DB using datagrid. It was OK, it was display the data. What I need is if there is an ascii value like for example "Next Line" between each sentence the following sentence will should be displayed on the next like. What is happening now is that it's just display the data with one continuous line.
Ideas or link will do but if you could help the better. Please....

You'll need to derive your own DataGridColumnStyle to acheive this. While the DataGridTextBoxColumn does use a TextBox internally to edit data (and you can set properties to make happen what you want), the text is painted as is. You need to change the painting so that certain characters are painted a certain way or induce line changes, like a CR or LR (or a CRLF pair).

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'am trying to rotate an image in a picture box control in C#.Along with that i'am drawing a rectangle on to the image for highlighting certain parts of the image.While rotating the image is getting rotated properly but the drawing which i have made on the image is not getting rotated.I have tried with rotate and rotateat methods but they just rotate the drawing but not with respect to the image.
My requirement is that while i'am rotating the image, the drawn rectangle highlighting certain parts also should get rotated and highlight the very same area in the rotated form.
Kindly help me,
Regards,
mmx
