There is a language called Lua. It is script writing for video games.
I want to be able to define syntax rules, compilation, intellisense, etc..
here is an example program I found
http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/info4222-WoW_UI_Designer.html[^]
Would I make an add in to define rules for the language inside the IDE? Any links or pointers would be great.
Thanks,
Nick

we have a web app which uses a class library. and that class library holds all the DB calls. in each DB call in the class library, there's a little section that grabs the DB connection string, like this:
<br />
string connString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnStr"].ConnectionString;<br />
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);<br />
works fine.
i now need to make a console app which uses some of the DB stuff from the class library. so, i make a console app project, add a reference to the class lib, and etc.. it builds fine. but when i run it, when it gets to the lines above, it dies because ConfigurationManager is null. so, i guess it's not initialized.
my questions:
1. where is ConfigurationManager initialized in a web app?
2. how does the class library know about it?
3. why doesn't that happen in a console app?

Add a config file to your console app and put the connection strings in there

yes, i know.
but the problem is that the ConfigurationManager isn't visible globally in the console app, as it is in the web app. so, even if the ConfigurationManagerdoes have the connection string, the DB code can't get to the ConfigurationManager.

Actually, I think your problem is real simple. It's just that you didn't get the config file where it needed to be. You can add an app.config to your project, but it doesn't do anything for you until it's copied out to the directory where your .exe is and renamed. Like my exe is TestConfigManager.exe, so I have to copy my app.config out to where that is and rename it to TestConfigManager.exe.config. I usually just write a postbuild to handle it.

you're exactly right.
i was assuming the documentation for ConfigurationManger.OpenConfiguration (or whatever that member is called) allowed you to specify the config file you wanted to use. apparently, it doesn't. once i renamed, and changed that call to use the EXE's name, it all worked.

If you add the configuration file to the project via VS .NET (Application Configuration File), then it does the copying for you.

Greetings:
I am looking for a way to embed the date and time of the build of my Visual Studio 2003 C# application. That is, I would like to have some strings in my code that are automatically set at build time with the system date time and will provide me with an easy way to display the build date and time in an "About" box at run time.
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As far as I know, you can only get the creation time. There are no embed datetime in file.
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName);
MessageBox.Show(fi.CreationTime.ToString());
|
|
|
|
|
System.DateTime.Now.ToString() -> this returns a string with the date and time of the windows at run.

Thanks but, it is not current time I am looking for. It is the BUILD time of the project. In standard WIN32 under "C", you can define these MACROS:
#define _COMPILE_DATE
#define _COMPILE_TIME
These macro's are updated with the system date and time by the compiler pre-processor when the file is built.
Cheers,
Mark

I don't think you can really embed that kind of information. You could do something tricky like make a batch file that writes the current date/time to a file that is an embedded resource in your assembly. Call that batch file on prebuild and then you can use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to pull the contents of that file out and get your date.
If you're interested, CruiseControl has a labeler that will mark the build version as the date:

You could easily do this with Visual Studio 2005 which utilizes MSBuild files which are pretty easy to work with; all you have to do is modify your .csproj file. However, this only works for VS2005, as 2003 does not use MSBuild AFAIK.
You *might* be able to pull this off using pre-build steps, but I'd rather not comment on how, as that is nothing trivial.

Hi,
I'm trying to place a control onto a form behind a picturebox. Some area's of this picturebox
are defined as transparant. Now I run into the problem of not seeing the controls anymore.
What does happen is the transparent area is taking the same color as the form so it looks transparant but not truly is. What am I doing wrong?!
thanks in advance
Here is some sample code..
<br />
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(this.ImgBackground.Image); <br />
bmp.MakeTransparent(Color.FromArgb(255,0,255)); <br />
this.ImgBackground.Image= bmp;<br />
|

|

set yourPicturebox.BackColor = Color.Transparent

How can I resize a panel according to form size?
I have the ff code:
this.pnlGrndWv.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(this.Size.Width,this.Size.Height);
This worked but what I actually wanted was to capture the size of form(with the excess page which i can view using scrollbar), I mean I want to know the size of the "long" windows form, I want to actually simulate ng Panel size to "real" form size. How can I do this? Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
Use this :
this.pnlGrndWv.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;

Good day everyone,
I need to design and implement a Class Library project for the Heap data structure.
Is there anyone know where I can have a reference or a sample project?
If you're interested in, pls help.
Thanks so much.
