Any ideas on how to go about serializing a winform using C#.

Easy enough. Forms aren't serializable...

As said, the Form class isn't serializable. But it should be enough to serialize step by step the most important properties like Size and Font.

...or extend Form and attribute the class with [Serializable]. By default, all private and protected fields are serialized if they themselves are serializable. If you want more control on how your class is serialized, implement the ISerializable interface. More information about the SerializableAttribute class and ISerializable interface can be found in the .NET Framework SDK documentation.

A static array exists only once. Anything you do to it will reflect elsewhere. Make it non static so that each instance has it's own array.

If you are using a form, try calling the array from a non static method. You are probably trying to read it from main. Smile | :)

thanx
but i don't need that each instance have its own array as i need the data from the array that i put in the 1rst form in the second to do changes in it then i need the changed array in the 3rd form

Ok, you could always use the array.clone() method, to copy it into a local array, and then apply the changes there. THEN forward the modified array.

This will keep the origional array unchanged, but enable you to manipulate a modified version.

You might want to post some code samples of your array and what your doing to modify it.

((Offices)(OfficesNames[i])).OfficeAtt= new ArrayList(AllNodes);

Offices ->class
OfficesNames->array of object of offices
officeAtt->arraylist have object of another class called attributes
this line of code to intialize the arraylist of attributes of each office

tracing keystrokes using c#

When you enumerate a collection or list (anything that implements IEnumerable, it is documented behavior to throw an exception. This is to ensure that changes to the list or collection aren't skipped when looping. You can either clone the list or collection or use an iterative loop (for, as opposed to foreach).

problem using CommandBarComboBox in Outlook Add Ins

2-Apr-04 4:27

You talking about capturing keystroke and logging what is typed and in which application they are typed?

Since your requirements include loggin WHICH application recieves the keyboard message, you've added a new layer of complexity to your app. You can't simply use just the keyboard hooks function anymore since you will never receive any notification of where the message is going. To get that, you also have to use the CBTProc callback function (or hook) to keep track of the window that's currently activated. You have to get the name of the window using the window handle that's passed in during certain events that get sent through your CBTProc procedure.

Please help me.

You can't include the .NET Framework - it must be bootstrapped. Read Redistributing the .NET Framework[^] in the .NET Framework SDK for more information, including how to get example source and use that to bootstrap (i.e., run installations required for your installation PRIOR to running your installation).

To install the Crystal Reports managed runtime (includes unmanaged code as well), read Deploying Crystal Reports in .NET Applications[^]. There are four merge modules (.msm) that you include with your Windows Installer setup project. These are merged (hence the name) with the installer package when built. The regwiz MSM requires a license key that you can get for free by registering the Crystal Reports designer when you use it for the first time. This would've been emailed to you. For Windows Forms client applications, you have royalty-free redistribution rights. Read Incorporating Reports into Applications[^] for more information about licensing and different scenarios.

I am not sure what you need to do, but I think this can help you..

In the constructor of the form (for example), you add something like this :

DataGridTextBoxColumn _datagridtextBox = (DataGridTextBoxColumn)YourDataGrid.TableStyles[0].GridColumnStyles[X];<br />
			_datagridtextBox.TextBox.KeyPress += new System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventHandler(Execute_This);

where X is the index of the column that is supposed to have only numbers of 4 characters..

You will also need to write something like this :

private void Execute_This(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
<br />
   TextBox tBox = (textBox) sender;<br />
   //tBox.Text is the text that has been already written by the user..<br />
   //e.KeyChar is the chararacter corresponding to the character that the user has just written..You just make tests..<br />
<br />
}

datatype check

Anonymous1-Apr-04 19:01

Hi, Guys
I need to get data type for the streams that I read into the memroy.
Assumption is that we don't know anything about file.(we do know deliminator, which in this case is '#')

for example input files is as follows
name#money#loanNumber
Joe#10000#L01
Amy#2000#L05
Tom#12000#L11

As you see, column name and loadNumber is type of string, and money is integer.
However, how do I decide in my c# program? should I make compare set of {'0', ..., '9'} and compare one by one for all the characters? Or is there any other way to decide these data type.

Thanks guys!

- Read one line
- Parse that line for '#'
- Split the line into its substrings
- Analyze any substring, using String.IndexOfAny( "ABCDEFG..." )
- If index found, it is a string; else, it is an integer
