Please modify your post and check that "Ignore HTML tags in this message"

I believe it enables the thingy that allows you to expand/collapse xml nodes when viewed in IE.

Use the "Ignore HTML" option when you are posting markup code.

Hi,

the structured comments that optionally get collected into an XML documentation file
need some special keywords, such as summary, returns, remarks.

Furthermore at least one of the Visual Studio versions has a bug, resulting in the
omission of all comments on properties.

I recoomend you read these articles.

I don't think you can, without making a local copy.

Adding EventHandler

Hi.

When adding eventhandlers to events, what's the difference between:

foo.SomeEvent += Bar.OnSomeEvent;

...and...

foo.SomeEvent += new EventHandler ( Bar.OnSomeEvent );

?

Thanks.

In the first case the compiler type checks that Bar.OnSomeEvent has the same delegate type as SomeEvent and inserts the Delegate.Combine call with the inferred delegate type.
In the second, you're doing part of the compilers work yourself by explicitly telling it the delegate type.
The msil code for both will be identical.

OK, thanks. So why are most of the samples I see written the second way? The first way is leaner. Is this some sort of leftover from older coding practices or something? Maybe .NET 1.x?

Thanks again.

It's a left over from 1.0 or 1.1, can't remember when they changed it.

How do applications get permission to create keys hkey_classes_root?

It is only C# 2.0 (hence .NET versions >= 2.0) that support the shorthand notation.

How do applications get permission to create keys hkey_classes_root?

Using Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey(...) I am able to add registry keys, however I wasn't able to until I messed around with the permissions in the registry. But I've installed other applications from the very same account before without changing permissions and those applications were able to add their owns keys to classes_root.

So the question is how do they do that? What code do I need to add to be able to let my program write to classes_root without the user who installs the program having full access?

Creating Tools > Options window

I am strugling with creating an Options Window (like how you go to Tools > Options and a window pops up with options in it).

Does any one know of a way to create this type of windows? Any Ideas, link to an article / white paper etc will be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Just create a new form with the options, and from your main form button/menu item click/whatever, call it up. Nothing much really to it.

The window's not hard, you do that like any other window. What you need to decide is what all you will show, how you will store choices, and how the rest of you app reads and responds to those choices. I assume that's what you're talking about.

I don't know of an article specificly dealing with that, though many may have something like that built into articles about other topics.

Personally, I'd use XML serialization: decide what options to offer, build an XML structure to house them, make your options form address those options, read your config, and write to it. Then I'd probably have the host form show it as a dialog [optwin.ShowDialog()], and make it expose your XML serializable config object as a property so that the host can get the options directly from the options form. And make your host form look for the config on load to initially respond to saved options. But there are a number of things to consider and work out with this. Clear as mud?

Yes I am.

pretty much!!

I have the settings for my applications stored in the MyApp.settings file. Would that be a bad idea?

Also, when the settings are changed i.e. user has changed some stuff in the options window, the parent form doesn't autmatically apply the changes. For it to apply changes does it have to be "refreshed" or "reloaded"?
