MS published a pattern and practices-article about self-updating applications: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms978574.aspx[^]

Have a look, it is quite interesting.

Didn't get it that each province has its own version. You mean you implemented ONE application, but to fit for the province it must be CONFIGURED?

It's not a bug, it's a feature!

thx, i mean the application is only one, but is installed in 34 provinces, if one provinces finds any bug or error in the application, that error needs be fixed and reflected to all provinces.

If you are printing reports, go for ReportViewer control or Crystal report. Or else in-built classes to print data would be best bet.

There is a WPF/WCF[^] forum here. IMO that would be better place ask.

This[^] explains what you need.

Once, you have added the DataGridBoolColumn, handle its MouseClick event to display/hide the data.

I prefer using DataGridView instead of the grid. Check out if that suits your need.

hi all
I have a datagrid and another datagrid in the rowdetails. When 2 or more rowdetails are displayed, there is problem with scrollbar.
The scrollbar will not disappear when the row detail is collapsed using a button placed in the rowdetails..Please help me if anybody has the solution.

the code to Collapse the rowdetail is as follows:
private void CancelButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
StackPanel panel = (((sender as Button).Parent as Grid).Parent as StackPanel);
DataGrid grid = panel.Children[1] as DataGrid;
DataGridRow row = DataGridRow.GetRowContainingElement(grid);
row.DetailsVisibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
}

thanks in advance..

is it possible to know the method used by dotnet libraries. i m using getbezierpoints method in dotnet to get the bezier points of a stroke. but not sure if dot net is using quadratic bezier points or cubic bezier point or something else. my further analysis depends on the method used by them. i asked the same question 2 days back n was suggested to seek help of reflector. unfortunately reflector is not able to give the code behind. is there any other way out. pls help

Hi,

for such questions there are IMO three possible answers:
- documentation
- reflection
- experiments

I would spend 10 minutes on documentation, try reflection for 10 minutes, then start a series of little experiments, trying out some extreme cases since those are most likely to show the differences.

use the below sample code.

bool flag = false;
FrmSearch search = new FrmSearch();
foreach (Form f in this.MdiChildren)
{
if (f.Name.ToString() == search.Name.ToString())
{
f.Focus();
flag = true;
break;
}
}
if (flag == false)
{
search.MdiParent = this;
search.Show();
}

AFAIK string.ToString() is a waste, it just returns

Icon problems

For a very long time now I've been having a problem with making an icon appear on the top-left part of my form. I have created a .ico file and it works for my .exe icon but whenever I try it on my icon property of my form it doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas why I'm having this problem?

An icon file can contain icons in a number of different sizes. You probably are not including one in the size needed for the corner of the form ( I am guessing 16x16 or 32x32 )

As Christian said, ICO files can contain several icons at different sizes (but meant to represent the same thing). Which "sub-icon" gets used depends on the situation AND the Windows version.
And Vista introduced new sizes.

This[^] and this[^] gives some details.

I never encountered a situation where an icon wasn't showing; I usually design it at 32*32 and that seems to work for me every time (that is on XP and Vista). However the favicon.ico shown in a browser's address bar has to be 16*16.

On XP hovering an ICO file shows a tooltip, which mentions the size iff there is only one. Don't know for Vista.

Are you using Visual studio to create icon? If yes I would suggest use some other software to create the icon. I struggled with the same kind of problem,but got rid of it using some freeware icon generator tool(I do not remember the name of that software). you will get it on the net for free

Personally, I use IcoFX. It's freeware and has many useful features (such as extracting icons from existing files).

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