Re: How to form regexp for ommiting hidden folders?

Yeah, I've since found out that you can't even name a folder starting with a period. An extension is optional, but not the filename.

You need to write code that captures mouse events, moves the controls and stores their position for next time.

Is there any way to acheive this ??

Thanks in advance

Not using webservice URL in the APP.Config

I have a windows application which uses webservice. So when a web reference is added, VS will add the webservice URL in the app.config file. Is there anyway to overcome this behavior ? Problem here is, when the application is deployed, users can open the configuration file and take the webservice URL. My webservice is secure and users can't make any harm to that, but I am just wondering any method available to change this URL storage location. Any ideas ?

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

Hi
Vs automatically put this url in app.config. But this is not the mandatory.i mean u can remove th url from the app.confg, then u can use the dat file, there can store and use the encrypt adn decrypt.

then can assign to ur url in to web service.

There's no reason why you couldn't save to a folder that is hidden, but also no reason why you can't unhide it, save the files, and make it hidden again, in code.

Remove the 'Hidden' attribute, save your files there and then apply the attribute again. Use the DirectoryInfo class for that.

Hi all

I want to create a Menu in my application.iam using menu control for that.when i use this menu control "one arrow mark is coming in between" the menu items.can anyone tell me how to remove this arrow mark.also post me a link that explains step by step process, how to create a menu control in .net(c#).

any help will be appreciated.

thanks in advance.

Hi Pintoo,

If you are referring to the SubMenu Items arrow then please know that it appear when we create some submenu items for a menu item like:

FileMenu
|
|
New-->SubMenuItemsList
|
|
Open

The arrow can be removed by removing the submenu items.

However, regarding your query of "how to create a menu control in .net(c#)." I would like to mention that we can create menus using C# in the following manner:

First add a MainMenu control to the form. Then to add menu items to it add MenuItem objects to the collection. By default, a MainMenu object contains no menu items, so that the first menu item added becomes the menu heading. Menu items can also be dynamically added when they are created, such that properties are set at the time of their creation and addition.

The following program shows how to create a simple menu.

The Class MenuTest1 creates a simple menu on a form. The form has a top-level File menu with menu items New,Open and Exit .The menu also includes a About menu.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
BEGIN CODE

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.WinForms;
using System.Drawing;
public class MenuTest1 :Form
{
private MainMenu mainMenu;
public MenuTest1()
{
mainMenu = new MainMenu();
MenuItem File = mainMenu.MenuItems.Add("&File");
File .MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("&New"));
File .MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("&Open"));
File .MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("&Exit"));
this.Menu=mainMenu;
MenuItem About = mainMenu.MenuItems.Add("&About");
About.MenuItems.Add(new MenuItem("&About"));
this.Menu=mainMenu;
mainMenu.GetForm().BackColor = Color.Indigo;
}
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Application.Run(new MenuTest1());
}
}

END CODE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hope this helps Smile | :)

Avoid constructor initialization to Designer

binarycat9-Apr-08 21:11

?Hi!,

I've created a new component, in constructor i set a default item
(Nothing in special)

New control definition:

public class NewListBox : System.Windows.Forms.ListBox
{
public NewListBox()
{

Items.Add("Hello World, this should appears one time!");
}
}

But when i drop this control on a form myForm.Designer.cs creates these lines automatically Frown | :-(

//
// newListBox1
//
this.newListBox1.FormattingEnabled = true;
this.newListBox1.Items.AddRange(new object[] {
"Hello World, this should appears one time!"});
this.newListBox1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(398, 6);
this.newListBox1.Name = "newListBox1";
this.newListBox1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(228, 43);
this.newListBox1.TabIndex = 40;

And the result is the item is adding twice showing in execution
Hello World, this should appears one time!
Hello World, this should appears one time!

How can I avoid these designer automatic initializations.

Thanks in advance

Please verify that u didn't set the text property of your control at design time.

this appears to be a problem to me as u set the text property at design time and then again adding the same string in constructor

binarycat9-Apr-08 21:21

I'am not setting text property, and also this control has not Text property.
Nouman, the problem is caused by designer, in form.designer unit, when i drop the control it generates the same initiliazition as my control constructor, i know i can delete these lines from form.designer but is not the solution because i use my control in a lot of forms and i should delete these lines every time i use this control (is not logic). I am sure there is way to avoid it.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
