I Have a new style of Changing Regional Setting of System at Runtime

You Can Change Registry Value of System at Runtime

Just Like for Date

Change value of Date

My_Computer/HKEY_USERS/S-1-5-21-682003330-162531612-725345543-1003/Control Panal/Internation/

Set the value of sShortDate "dd/MM/yyyy"

conversion from string to binary to decimal

is there any way to convert the string to binary and subsequently to decimal.

i am asking this question because out of (02 , 1 , 1a) both are string type values , how should i ascertain programatically which is bigger(I mean , how to align them in ascending order)?
I thought , first i should convert the string to binary and subsequently to decimal.
Am I doing right ?

if you convert to a number, it will be a number, it won't be binary or decimal. Those are rendering details. int.TryParse turns a string to an int.

Are these hex numbers ? I guess write a sort routine to turn them into numbers and sort from there.

Check if IDE is open

Good Morning,

After searching for 3 seconds I gave up hope and started praying that someone else will be able to help me.
Can anyone tell me how to see if the IDE is open through code?
I want to skip some code if the program is running in Debug mode through the IDE, but run the code if the program runs on a customer workstation.
At the moment I'm using #Define, but this generally end up being forgotten when going into a Live environment.

Regards,

You can use #if DEBUG to check whether the program is running on debug mode. When you release the application in release mode, all the code written inside this will be skipped.

#if DEBUG
            Console.WriteLine("running on debug");
#endif

All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia

ReportViewer control help.

I've found myself in a bind with the report viewer control...

Here is what I'm trying to build:
http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/2971/reporthelpzb2.gif[^]
Decode Key:
  Blue = report
  Red = horizontal table of objects
  Yellow = values list in red object (of variable length, normally <=3 && >=1)

Here is how I setup my data business object classes as follows:

MainDataClass
|_TableObject
  |_DateField
  |_ValuesList
    |_Value
    |_UnitValue

I setup the data to point toward the TableObject and then bound the DataBoundObject to the MainDataClass.GetAllData() method.

My problem is I can't come up with a good solution to display the dynamic number values in the ValueList (horizontally preferred)
I was thinking I could use a matrix but doesn't that require two data grouops? Also a table only shows values vertically! Frown | :(

Hi I don't know what happens but i just can't set a KeyPressEventHandler...
I tried every possible way but it just doesnt work, mouse\timer event work but just not any of the press key event work.
Could anyone help me?
My program is really simple, consist of a button that when you press it it plays a sound.
I want that when you press a key it plays the sound too.
So here is my code ( part of it)
I just put a messagebox on the even to test if it works but no...

<br />
public MainWindow() {<br />
            InitializeComponent();<br />
            this.KeyPress += new KeyPressEventHandler(MainWindow_KeyPress);<br />
        }<br />
<br />
void MainWindow_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e) {<br />
            MessageBox.Show(" Event is working ");<br />
    }<br />
        <br />
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {<br />
            WAVSounds ws = new WAVSounds();<br />
            <br />
            ws.Play("C:\\...\\Snare.wav", ws.SND_FILENAME | ws.SND_ASYNC);<br />
        }<br />

I looked on alot of examples but i don't see anything that is missing.
Thanks alot.

Because you have controls on your form one of the controls will have the default focus, so the keypress event will go there (first of all). In order to handle the keypress, you need to set

this.KeyPreview = true;

Autocomplete combobox feature

12-Mar-08 9:55

Hello hello

I still have difficulties to understand the autocomplete feature of combobox and what they are used for

I've read and reread MSDN about that but I did'nt find the BASIC concept ?

Thanks a lot for who can tell me in a few words the basic purpose of those feattures

Re: Autocomplete combobox feature

Essentially it provides a way to allow the end-user of the application a way to type less key strokes to pick a value for the combobox.

Thank you Scott

But I do not understand how !

I'm using a combobox with a DataTable datasource

I've already tryed to set the autocompleteMode to the different mode
But I don't realy see any different behaviour
But I'm not a combobox user specialist

DateTime Question

Hi All,

I'm just testing some file recursion code at a good way into scanning all my hard drives for FileInfo[] I'm getting a DateTime exception of:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException was unhandled
Message="Not a valid Win32 FileTime.\r\nParameter name: fileTime"

Could this be a corrupt file issue?

At the moment I'm just grabbing a DateTime on each file should I really be passing it some CultureInfo in order to make sure that the DateTime format its using is of the host machines same cultire or should I implement some Culture.Invariant on it? Can C# even do that?

Thanks for any advice.

Regards,

Jammer
