Just to keep this simple...
I want to draw a circle in my about box that writes over all the text, bitmaps, etc.
So, I override OnPaint and do a ...
e.Graphics.DrawEllipse( Pens.Black, 0, 0, 500, 500 );
... but the circle is more of a background graphic and the text gets written over it. I've also overrode the OnPaint method to get the same results.
Sure I can set transparency on text, but I want this circle to overwrite anything in it's way... toolbars, status bars, etc.
Any thoughts??!

I am creating a very simple console application to read a portion of the registry into a class object called TrxRegistry under a TrxRegistry namespace. The registry access is working with no problems using hardcoded strings. I've now added a resource file called TrxRegistry.resx where I've associated the names of the registry values with descriptive names. The program compiles with no errors, but when I run it, I'm getting a resource exception.
I create a Resource Manager:
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("TrxRegistry",this.GetType().Assembly);
and then access it by opening the registry key (which is defined in the resource file):
RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(rm.GetString("TRXKEY"));
I get this exception:
Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral Culture) in the given assembly. Make sure "TrxRegistry.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "TrxRegistry".
baseName: TrxRegistry locationInfo: <null> resource file name: TrxRegistry.resources assembly: TrxRegistry, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
The Build Action property for the TrxRegistry.resx resource file is set to Embedded Resource.
I didn't think I had to do anything for an embedded resource file. I thought you only had to use a command line assembly program for multiple language DLLs.
Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?
Thanks in advance!

Instead of calling the constructor where you pass in the root namespace (which I think is telling it to look for culture specific resources) what happens if you call the constructor that gets its information from a type (ala Windows Forms) new ResourceManager(typeof(TrxRegistry));
Just a shot in the dark

I just tried your solution and it works! I figured out that I wasn't including the namespace when creating the Resource Manager:
Before:
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("TrxRegistry",this.GetType().Assembly);
After:
ResourceManager rm = new ResourceManager("TrxRegistry.TrxRegistry",this.GetType().Assembly);
I like your code much better - no strings and less typing! 
Thanks!

Cool 
I think your method will need to be used if you want to use culture-specific resources; if you want .NET to automagically load them for you anyway.

How can I create form inside second ? I dont see anything such Create(HWND hParent) 
In MFC e.g.:
CDialog dlg;
dlg.Create(IDC_DIALOG1,this);
dlg.ShowWindow();
I think programing using MFC or/and API is more logical than C#.

no, only create form inside second. e.g. you have treectrl and when you select item -> show form with setting ....
Wiizi
|
|
|
|
|
Will this work
In the event handler for the tree control
public /* some tree event handler*/
{
Form2 form2 = new form2();
form2.Show(); // or form2.ShowDialog() - for modeless
}
Form2 is the class you created for the second form? I might be missing something here so let me know.
|
|
|
|
|
ok...and how can i dock it into parent form ?
Wiizi
|
|
|
|
|
Ahh, so you want to dock it in the parent sort of like the netscape preferences dialog. If that's the case take a look at the following on CP
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/propertytree.asp
I think this is probably what your looking for. If not, let me know.

|
|
|
|
dlg.Parent = this;
or
this.Controls.Add(dlg);

I believe you will find that both of these solutions will throw an exception when the child is a Form derived object, or more specifically any top level control.
|
|
|
|
|
Yes ... it throw

See this post for the fix. If you don't want the user to be able to move the window, then set the FormBorderStyle to FormBorderStyle.None;

Oops, forgot you had to do this first
dlg.TopLevel = false;

I have this program in which I'm adding TraceSwitches to various subsystems. I got it working fine in one subsystem - so I went ahead and added it to other subsystems. When I try to enable with other switched using my config file - the original switch now throws an XML exception (at the first call to WriteLineIf(), not when newing the TraceSwitch ).
Here are my config files:
The one that works:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<switches>
<add name="FirstSwitch" value="4" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
The one that blows up:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<system.diagnostics>
<switches>
<add name="FirstSwitch" value="4" />
<add name="SecondSwitch" value="4" />
<add name="ThirdSwitch" value="4" />
</switches>
</system.diagnostics>
</configuration>
Any ideas what's wrong with the syntax or how to enable multiple switches with a config file?
Thanks

Hi All,
I am trying to view some Reports online through my Internet site.
I am using C# on a Windows 2000 server running IIS5.
I have looked around the internet and found some examples but they are not working. I have the following at the moment.
<cr:CrystalReportViewer
id=CrystalReportViewer1
style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 8px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 6px"
runat="server"
ReportSource='<%# "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Outbreak\Reports\test.rpt" %>'
Height="1133px"
Width="1030px">
</cr:CrystalReportViewer>
In design view I cn now see my report, but when I compile and view my page I get
CS1009: Unrecognized escape sequence
????
Can someone let me know where I am going wrong and how to sort this out.
Thanks,
Gavin

it's the back slashes in your ReportSource string.
why do you have it as a server side string???
change it to:
ReportSource='C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Outbreak\Reports\test.rpt'
|
|
|
|
|
It was set as a server side string because that is how the Crystal Report Viewer set it itself.
What I did was I dragged the CrystalReportViewer off the toolbox and dropped it onto my form.
I then selected it and in the properties window click on the ... next to databindings.
I then went into the ReportSource and put in the exact Source and clicked ok and it did the rest ...
I changed it as you suggested and am now getting the following error.
Cannot create an object of type 'System.Object' from its string representation 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Outbreak\Reports\test.rpt' for the 'ReportSource' property
I'm sure this is meant to be a lot simpler than it has turned out to be?
Thanks for the help

ok, so try this:
ReportSource='<%# "C:\\Inetpub\\wwwroot\\Outbreak\\Reports\\test.rpt" %>'
or:
ReportSource='<%# @"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Outbreak\Reports\test.rpt" %>'
