Thanks Led...

Very precious links.

But word about MSDN links... I was not investigating what registry keys were to be added but where to add them as in which section of VS Setup & Deployment Project by checking the necessary conditions.

Thanks for help though...

I don't know what that means. Windows Installer has tables, I don't know what "section" means.

Batch Insert Problem with SqlBulkCopy.

Hi i have access db as client db and sql server db as web db. all structures of two database is same except PKs, in sql server PK is uniqueidentifier and in access, PK is Text (with 255 max Length).

in client app i want to send some data from client to web(access to sql) via SqlBulkCopy class, to do this, i use this code to transfer data :

this.personsTableAdapter1.Fill(this.testDataSet1.Persons);

            DataTable dtImported = this.testDataSet1.Persons.Clone();

            // because PK dataType in sql server is uniqueidentifier, hence i convert PK column to guid
            dtImported.Columns["PersonID"].DataType = typeof(Guid);
            foreach (TestDataSet.PersonsRow row in this.testDataSet1.Persons.Rows)
            {                
                Guid g = new Guid(row.PersonID);                
                dtImported.Rows.Add(new object[] { g, row.PersonName }); // Error occur
            }

            System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy bc = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy(Properties.Settings.Default.TestSqlConnectionString);
            bc.DestinationTableName = "Persons";
            bc.WriteToServer(dtImported);

but at runTime the following error show me in above line of code:

Cannot set column 'PersonID'. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column.

where does my problem and how to solve it ?
Thanks

Doesn't the error message explain the reason.
The length of the PersonID you specified in the Access and SQL Server are different. Infact, SQL Server has lesser size thn that of in the Access.

Hi Manas
yes, hence i change max length from 255 to 16 in DataSet Designer(in visual stduio), but the problem was not solved.

you need to change the size in your SQL Server table

How to install Microsoft.mshtml.dll in GAC

This is the error I was getting while installing a in-process dll (BHO) setup which is made in Vs2005 using c#
"could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.mshtml, version=7.0.3300.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKey=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The System cannot find the file specified."

For this, I googled and found that Microsoft.mshtml should be installed in GAC or should be available in IE installation folder.
I tried the second one, but still the dll doesnot gets injected?
Anyone can suggest something to solve this?

Hi,
I have create a simple vbscript called vbscriptSample.vbs
When you double click it, you see the message Hello.
This script is saved in the local machine i.e. c:\work\vbscriptSample.vbs
I can call this script using:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"c:\work\vbscriptsample.vbs");

Question:
I am developing a .net application to trigger this local script but to run it against a network machine i.e. MachineB
So when you run it from my local machine, then the message Hello appears on the MachineB
I believe this is to do with WMI
So, this is what I have. It does not give an error but the message hello does not appear.

try
{
ManagementPath p = new ManagementPath(@"\\MachineB\root\cimv2:Win32_process");
ManagementClass m = new ManagementClass(p);

m.InvokeMethod("Create", new object[] {@"\\MachineB\c$\work\vbscriptsample.vbs"});
}
catch (ManagementException err)
{
MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while trying to execute the WMI method: " + err.Message);
}
catch (UnauthorizedAccessException unauthorizedErr)
{
MessageBox.Show("Connection error (user name or password might be incorrect): " + unauthorizedErr.Message);
}

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

Of course it can. It can ask for it's parent form, or it can fire a delegate and the main form can consume it and do the work.

I have a datagridview with 3 columns and I would like to have the cells in 2 first columns to not be selectable in the form but the cells in the 3rd column should be selectable.

Any help welcome.

Thanks

In the CellStateChanged event, check for the column index of the cell and if it 0 or 1 set Selected property to false.

dataGrid SelectedIndexChanged Method not available in Compact Framework

Paulo Mitchell4-Jun-09 20:27

4-Jun-09 20:27

I have an application running on a PDA that currently uses the OnClick Event of a DataGrid to perfortm some functionality. I would like to have the same functionality run when the current row of my DataGrid is highlighted (by the user scrolling ro it instead of clicking on it). The method to use would seem to be OnSelectedIndexChanged but this does not seem to be available in the Compact Framework (3.5). I The OnGotFocus doesn't seem to be suitable either (I guesss that this is because it applies to the DataGrid itself and not the row). Can anyone suggest how I can get this to work. Note that I only want the event to fire when the user moves to the row and not when the grid is populated.

Thanks

Just use the Mouse or Click Events exposed by the datagrid.
and get its CurrentRowIndex. You may have to bind the datagrid datasource using the CurrencyManager.
Then just build a DataRowView from it.
I'm not sure if this is what you are asking.

BTW. you should post this in Mobile Development.

The problem is that I will not be clicking on the grid so the onClick event won't fire. I will just be using the button thing at the bottom of the PDA ro scroll down the list. I was looking for an event that would fire when the row was highlighted. The SelectedIndexChanged looked like the one for me but that doesn't seem to be available in the Compact Framework.

I will post this again on the Mobile Development board and make my question a bit clearer. Thanks for your reply anyway.

Create an integer variable.
Then load the datagrid and select the first row by using

dataGrid.Select(0)

Then capture the up and down keys on the form and increment or decrement
this variable and pass this to the dataGrid

dataGrid.Select(your_variable_here)

Would this not achieve what you want to do?

BHO not gets injected?

svt gdwl4-Jun-09 20:19

4-Jun-09 20:19

I had a bho application developed in Vs2005 c#, I had made an msi setup, when I was trying to install

the setup, it is successfully getting installed, but the dll does not gets injected in the registry.
Why?
The registry path is "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Browser Helper Objects"

But this is succesfully injected in other Pc's
The .Net framework2.0 is present in all PC's

Code for registering and unregistering:

public static string BHOKEYNAME = "Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Browser

Helper Objects";

[ComRegisterFunction]
public static void RegisterBHO(Type type)
{
RegistryKey key = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(BHOKEYNAME, true);
if (key == null)
{
key = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey(BHOKEYNAME);
}

string guidString = type.GUID.ToString("B");
RegistryKey bhoKey = key.OpenSubKey(guidString, true);

if (bhoKey == null)
{
bhoKey = key.CreateSubKey(guidString);
}

// NoExplorer:dword = 1 prevents the BHO to be loaded by Explorer
string _name = "NoExplorer";
object _value = (object)1;
bhoKey.SetValue(_name, _value);
key.Close();
bhoKey.Close();
}

[ComUnregisterFunction]
public static void UnregisterBHO(Type type)
{
RegistryKey registryKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(BHOKEYNAME, true);
string guid = type.GUID.ToString("B");

if (registryKey != null)
registryKey.DeleteSubKey(guid, false);
}

In some PC's the dll gets registered and in some PC's dll doe not gets registered
