After reading thru about 12 pages of postings, and articles on wmi I found nothing explicitly describing or addressing my problem, so here is my question:::
I am Trying to retrieve the serial number from my monitors, I have verified by use of other software tools that this number does infact exist within the PnP data, and **should** be accessible by use of wmi/cim. However every time I have tried to access this information I am restricted to accessing only what the OS says I have, which is *default monitor*. Now as I stated, I have already used another tool to retireive this info, so I know the possiblity exists, so just short of calling a few "friends" over to rough up the devies who created it I'm on the hunt for my own solution. But like I said, the only thing I can find is the *default monitor* from the OS.
I did pursue an attempt with the registry data, but kinda got side-tracked once I encountered the EDID entries being in binary (didn't have the mental capacity that day to try to do conversions), so I left it alone for a few days.
and without trying to spend too much time looking into MIF / DMI I found that that may provide some useful information, but I haven't researched that too much yet.
Now I'm back working on it, and i need to find a way to access this information.
so just short of reading the entire DMI standard just wondering if anyone out there has used any thing that has worked for them or any tips on where / how to find this information (besides turning the monitor around and writing it down.  )
Oh, yah, we are using Dell devices, so I know Dell has proprietary software for this, but that isn't an option for us.
thanks in advance

Hai all,
I would like to know if there is away to dock the MainMenu anywhere other than the standard top docking. As soon I drag and drop onto the designer it is docked to the top of the form. what should I be doing if I need to have the menubar docked below a toolbar for example?
( toolbar or a panel on the top and the menubar below it)
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
VPMahank

You'll need a 3rd party control to do that. Search the articles here, I know there're docking toolbars available, but haven't looked for a menus specifically.

I believe you can do this using a ToolStrip (.NET 2.0) combined with a ToolStripContainer (.NET 2.0).
|
|
|
|
|
Could you please elaborate a little bit on how to approach the problem?
Thanks,
VPMahank

Sure. Place a ToolStripContainer on your form. Place a ToolStrip on the top. It will now be movable to whatever borders of the form you've chosen in the ToolStripContainer settings.

Hi! I need a little help!
Is there any chance to make a shaped form!? I mean not just transparent in some parts of the form, but when i click on the transparent part of the form, i want the form to lose the focus! I`m also interesting is there any chance to make a shaped button, not the rectangle button with an image of that shape! Because, in this solution, when you click in some corner of the rectangle, where the picture is transparent, and the user think that there is no button, he can still click on it! I want a shape (circle, for example), so user can click on the button only when the cursor is in the circle! And only one more question! Is there any chance to make a button with one image, but when the mouse enter the button, mouse image goes to the moving giff image!? Thanks a lot!

I'm curious if anyone has found a way arround it. I've got a dll built with the beta of c# VS.Net 2005. I want to add that dll as a reference in a vs.net 2003 project but i get the classic "could not be added. this is not a valid assembly or COM component. only assemblies with extension 'dll' and COM components
can be references. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and
that it is a valid assembly or COM component." error.
anyone found a way arround this, or am i trying to do the impossible?

There's a good chance you're trying to do the impossible, since the 2005/.NET 2.0 dll may have references to or exposes 2.0-specific functionality (such as generics) which are not supported in 2003/.NET 1.1.
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is even more straight forward than that. Because 2.0 introduced such items as generics it required the Metadata format to be updated. This new format is not backwards compatible with 1.0 and 1.1. Such the 1.x versions of the frameworks cannot load your 2.0 dll irrespective of what type of code you actually wrote in the dll.
However it is possible fon a 2.0 DLL/APP to reference a 1.x DLL

Is there a way to determine whether an installed print driver (as shown in PrintDialog) is for a printer or a fax? PrinterSettings doesn't seem to provide that kind of information.

Okay, not sure on this, but give it a shot. (I don't have a fax hooked up to any printer....) Put the following in a Console Application and run it to see if you get what you want. If a "printer" is fax capable, then hopefully you will see it in the CapabilityDescriptions property. You need to add a reference to the System.Management.dll in your project.
ManagementClass c = new ManagementClass( "Win32_Printer" );
ManagementObjectCollection moc = c.GetInstances();
foreach( ManagementObject mo in moc )
{
string name = ( string ) mo.Properties[ "Caption" ].Value;
string[] desc = ( string[] ) mo.Properties[ "CapabilityDescriptions" ].Value;
Console.WriteLine( "{0}", name );
foreach( string s in desc )
{
Console.WriteLine( "\t{0}", s );
}
Console.WriteLine();
}If you don't see "Fax," or something like that, then iterate over all the properties of the ManagementObject and see if you can find something in there.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Curtis. I need something more "robust". though. There is no capability listed for a fax driver and I can't use the driver/printer name because of localization issues (the app should be designed to work in other countries, as well).

Any other ideas? I've also tried Win32 API EnumPrinters with no luck.

sorry, cant get my brain working this morning.
the logical question I need my program to figure out is :
The X day of every Y month(s) with a Startdate of Z and a (Enddate of W OR occur V times)
this is my start:
<code>string matchpattern2 = "(0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|2[08])";
Regex re2 = new Regex(matchpattern2);
if(re2.Match(monthly1TxtBox1.Text.ToString()).Success == true)
{
int intDays = 0;
TimeSpan tsWeekly = endDateTime.Date.Subtract(startDateTime);
intDays = tsWeekly.Days;
DateTime[] datearray = new DateTime[intDays];
for(int x=0; x<intDays; x++)
{
datearray[x] = startDateTime.AddDays(x);
}
Array.Sort(datearray);
//DoTheWork
}</code>
anyone experienced with doing something like this?

What are you trying to do? Skimming over your code (use pre tags next time), I can't make out from your code what you're trying to accomplish.

sorry, basically all i've done so far(in the code i posted) is make an array of DateTime's between the start and end date.

I think I figured out my issue. Here is my code for anyboday else that needs to do the same.
int dayOfMonth = Int32.Parse(monthly1TxtBox1.Text);
int iterativeMonths = Int32.Parse(monthly1TxtBox2.Text);
string matchpattern2 = "(^1?[1-9]$|^[1-2]0$|^2?[1-8]$)";
Regex re2 = new Regex(matchpattern2);
if(re2.Match(monthly1TxtBox1.Text.ToString()).Success == true)
{
int intDays = 0;
TimeSpan tsWeekly = endDateTime.Date.Subtract(startDateTime);
intDays = tsWeekly.Days;
DateTime[] datearray = new DateTime[intDays];
for(int x=0; x < intDays; x++)
{
datearray[x] = startDateTime.AddDays(x);
}
Array.Sort(datearray);
int loopcounter = 0;
int intRecur = 0;
if(occTxtBox.Text.Length > 0)
intRecur = Int32.Parse(occTxtBox.Text.ToString());
int occurNum = 0;
for(int x=0;x < intDays;x++)
{
if(intRecur == 0)
{
if(datearray[x].Day == dayOfMonth)
{
if(loopcounter == 0)
{
//DoWork
loopcounter = loopcounter + iterativeMonths+1;
}
else if(datearray[x].Month == startDateTime.AddMonths(loopcounter).Month)
{
//DoWork
loopcounter = loopcounter + iterativeMonths;
}
}
}
else
{
if(datearray[x].Day == dayOfMonth && occurNum < intRecur)
{
if(loopcounter == 0)
{
//DoWork
loopcounter = loopcounter + iterativeMonths+1;
occurNum++;
}
else if(datearray[x].Month == startDateTime.AddMonths(loopcounter).Month)
{
//DoWork
loopcounter = loopcounter + iterativeMonths;
occurNum++;
}
}
}
}
msg.Text += "<font color=red>Task Added</font>";
posAddEdit = 0;
}
else
{
msg.Text = "<font color=red>Please enter a day between 1 & 28</font>";
}
p.s. pre /pre always eats my for loops

I am not quite sure what your regular expression is supposed to match on.
0[1-9] matches 01 through 09.
[12][0-9] matches 10 through 29.
2[08] matches 20 or 28. This is already covered by previous.
Do you want it to be 3[0-8]
Also, as it is, this RE will match number in a larger string. For instance, the following string will match on the 20:
34562055
If you only want two characters, try:
(^0[1-9]|[12][0-9]|2[08]$)
