I think your best bet may be to write a utility that allows you to create an appropriate app.config file (the basis for user mode settings), and use this utility to create custom versions of the app.config.

I think you're going to have to write it yourself because it is specific to your application. You can certainly make it generic, but that would be a LOT of work.
This is a pretty sticky problem, and I doubt you'll find many/any elegant solutions. Of course, you didn't provided enough info for a better answer.
How many different configurations are required?
Can the necessary settings be deduced from assemblies or files that accompany the application?
Why can't you re-factor the code to self-determine its available feature set? I think that would be the *best* thing to do.

The application I am developing is tough to develop as it moves from R&D to production very fast and many times. The application is installed to a variety of customers and different projects.
"How many different configurations are required?"
(-) Many and it is evolving.
Can the necessary settings be deduced from assemblies or files that accompany the application?
(-) Maybe but that is not the issue here. I do not want to deduct anything
Why can't you re-factor the code to self-determine its available feature set? I think that would be the *best* thing to do.
(-) This is not a matter of re factoring.
Thank you

Are you trying to hide functionality purely for useabilty's sake or are you wanting to provide a cut-down version of your overall application?
If it's the latter you'll probably want to stay away from the idea of using the app.config file as anyone could edit it and get the extra functionality for free.
I'd probably recommend building some sort of licensing system into your application where a given key will unlock only certain features in the application though this will probably involve a fair amount of work on your end (depending on your application architecture).
It definitely isn't definatley

I am not too worried about someone enabling features and I think that the application settings are enough.
It seems like this is a good idea. Encode the features inside the application license key but I have to think about it more.
Any ideas about how to map the settings to an index that will not change during compilation? Maybe deterministic hashing? It will be awful,buggy and disgusting to maintain a map. I am also limited in the number of flags that I can have in such a key (even assuming that each one is a bit).
Thanks a lot
Another Idea is to create a post installer that will open the features in the application. That requires a wrap around the msi installer.

Hi, I am using threading concept in my application to fetch the image form the video server and display.
the code is:
for (int i = 0; i < dataCount; i++)
{
doneEvents[i] = new ManualResetEvent(false);
ImageReader imgr = new ImageReader(doneEvents[i]);
objImageReader[i] = imgr;
WaitCallback callback = delegate(object state) { imgr.DownloadFile((structCameraServer)state); };
ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(callback, objServer[i]);
}
WaitHandle.WaitAll(doneEvents);
but how to call the thread again after completion of the work (ie how to make the thread to start again).
Thanks in advance,

assume like i have 10 threads intially, if i am restarting again with the new thread(...) wont the thread count be increased to 20 and when the number of the thread increases it may create probelm as i need to do this functionality for every 1 sec time interval.

Use Thread class other than ThreadPool. Don't end the thread when operation completes. Write your code in a loop and when each cycle completes, sleep for some time.

Can you please guide me in using the thread class for this scenario as i am new to threading
|
|
|
|

If your firing a thread off ever second, I would suggest the BackgroundWorker
its a lot easier to manage. You could check if its busy on each Tick and fire
it off again if not.
A craft is an enemy if not well learned.

i want to execute multiple dos commands on button click.
the commands are as follows:-
diskpart
select volume d:
assign letter=z
how can i perform it. and i want after execution it closes the command prompt.
thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
Write all commands to a bat file and start it using Process.Start. Write Exit command at the last line, so it will exit automatically after processing bat file.
|
|
|
|

I have tried this. this executes only "diskpart" command after that
select volume d:
assign letter=z
are not executed.
thanks 4 reply.

You need to write that into the StandardInput of the process.

No, try figure it out first, then if you are still stuck on a specific issue tomorrow, come back, and we will try to help.
MSDN may have some sample code.

In my project we use a load balancer. This load balancer hides two application servers running web services that are secured using WSE 3.0.
The client regularly encounters the error:
WSE559: A UsernameToken with a particular nonce value can only be used once within a given time period.
Our guess is that this occurs when the load balancer routes a message to server 2 only once where the rest of the messages from that client go to server 1.
Is there a way to influence the nonce so that it is unique over 2 (or more) servers?

i'm analysing one of the samples of microsoft which is about termination tracking services that creates a log file and logs the events in it, but it needs administration privileges to run otherwise it goes to the catch block. i only have one user in my computer which is administrator type. what should i do?
i need to debug it to see how it works
thanks

Are you using Vista?
you need to run the program as an admin.
If you want to run it from visual studio, you need to run visual studio as an admin.
Right click on the VS icon, and click "run as administrator"

Dear All,
Currently i am working in winforms, my problem is how to restrict to add new rows into a datagird at runtime
user has permission to add 2 rows only if he wants to add one more row it should restrict
thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
Isn't it possible to check the row count? If it is more than the allowed limit, show a message saying "You can't add a new row".

I have a DropDown in GridView.I populated that DropDown manually via Items and putting those Items in the "Collection".The Items are :Mr and Ms.Its working well and getting populated.
My problem is, while I press the down arrow key from that Cel, the Items get changed i.e,Mr changes to Ms and vice versa despite my requirement. My requirement is that, while we press down arrow Key,the control should Go to Next line of that GridView instead of Items getting changed.
Please Suggest me on this Issue.
Thank you.
