Hi
I'd like to know how I can open a file on the harddisk via code.
I mean opening the file in a new instance of its default associated program in windows (for example an .xls file in Excel,
not opening it via code to read from it.

thanks in advance

greetings pdluke

datagridview currentcell

After updating a row in the datagridview, the grid is re-populated. How is it possible to make the current cell the one that was just updated. Please note that if there are many records in the grid, and say record no 380 was updated, then the grid should move the pointer (current cell) to that row.

Thanks

Hi,

you can do this like that

<br />
TextOutput.Text = System.IO.File.OpenText("C:\\contload.txt").ReadToEnd();<br />

hope this helps you

Hi
as far as I know it's not possible to serialize a Hashtable.
I had the same problems some time ago.
You could use the Dictionary<> which is in .NET 2.0, I think.
It has the same functionality as the Hashtable.

Selecting a combo box item by pressing tab

I need to change a combo box so that when the user uses autocomplete and the item is not found, the wrong item is not selected when he presses tab.
Any ideas ?

Try checking the current value in the ComboBox with the FindStringExact() method in the Lost focus event of the Combo.

Write data -> Serial port

Hi,

I am writing a program to set up a serial port communication.
I'm doing this with SerialPort sp = new SerialPort (); and then SP.Write();

But I can only write a string format to the port. But I want to write a byte to the port. does anyone knows if this is posible and how to do this?

thanks.

Method write is overloaded.

Write(string text);
Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count);
Write(char[] buffer, int offset, int count);

I made a byte[] array in stead of a normal byte and is seems like its working! Big Grin | :-D

UIEditor & Service Providers

In the ITypeDescriptorContext object passed to the EditValue method of UITypeEditor (i.e. the first parameter - nominally referred to as "context") there's a method member called GetService.

This is NOT to be confused with the GetService method available from the second parameter which is of Type IServiceProvider, it's parameter name being nominally "provider".

My question is twofold a) where is the ServiceCollection that presumably lies behind this method and b) how do I put things in it - Component & IComponent don't seem to provide a ServiceCollection, and if I endow my component with IServiceCollection it doesn't seem to connect with the ITypeDescriptorContext.GetService method, which never seems to be anything but null.

NB : As far as I can tell the only thing one can get from the provider.GetService is an IWindowsFormsEditorService object.

I'm working around this by putting an extra object into the attribute collection that provides yet another GetService that IS backed up by a ServiceCollection, the class also exposes the AddService and RemoveService methods.
