I absolutely disagree with the "Dispose(bool)" pattern.
It's verbose and hard to use correctly. And it's only really useful when a class contains both managed and unmanaged resources, and there might even be derived classes that have their own unmanaged resources.
The solution is simple: don't do that.
Instead, create a sealed class for each unmanaged resource (bonus points if its derived from SafeHandle). Then your other classes only have to deal with managed resources, so they never need a finalizer and the Dispose method is trivial (just call Dispose on all members).
For more details, take a look at Stephen Cleary's article 'IDisposable: What Your Mother Never Told You About Resource Deallocation'[^].

I am attempting to do a custom OnPaint on a custom Treeview with a lot of bumps along the way. At this point in the game, I'm just trying to get a purple rectangle to print out anywhere involving this TreeView. I'll work on the bounds afterwards.
I found out the long way that WndProc turns off OnPaint and am trying to now to override WndProc, but I have absolutely no idea what to pass to OnPaint seeing this is my first attempt at GDI and from all the examples I've been looking at OnPaint appears to be called implicitly by other Win Forms. Please point me in the right direction.
public class myProfileTree : System.Windows.Forms.TreeView
{
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.MediumOrchid);
Rectangle blueRectangle = new Rectangle(50, 50, 200, 100);
g.FillRectangle(brush, blueRectangle);
}
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
switch (m.Msg)
{
case(15):
{
OnPaint(  );
break;
}
default:
{
break;
}
}
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
}

As obvious as it seems, have you set the DrawMode to: TreeViewDrawMode.OwnerDrawAll?

Not entirely sure that is the direction I want to be taking. This just appears to erase my entire custom treeview with no call to OnPaint.
I'm trying to keep the way the rest of the nodes aside from a selected node to look the norm. I need to keep the selected node the focus color as buttons are pressed even though this goes against standard convention. The thought was to make a custom treeview with custom onpaint to repaint this one node with a rectangle using onpaint and then putting back the original text on top.
Then I read this: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/685886/Re-Custom-Tree-View-Painting.aspx and came to the overriding WndProc, but was unsure on how to procede with the call to OnPaint.

I need to keep the selected node the focus color
If that's all your after then set the: "HideSelection" property to false. This setting allows you to retain visibility of the selected node once the treeview has lost focus.
If you still want your own paint, just manualy set the node's properties:
tv.SelectedNode.BackColor = SystemColors.Highlight;
...
The hurrier I go, the behinder I get.

HideSelection will not work for this instance and changing the BackColor will not address the issue I have. My button moves the selected node up and down. Since it is no longer the focus, it turns from medium blue to light gray. I did however figure out how to override WndProc:
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
base.WndProc(ref m);
switch (m.Msg)
{
case (15):
{
PaintEventArgs pae = new PaintEventArgs(
Graphics.FromHwnd((m.HWnd)),
new Rectangle(0, 0, this.Width, this.Height));
OnPaint(pae);
break;
}
default:
{
break;
}
}
}
Thanks for trying!

Hi All,
I am working on a c# tool to copy part of excel rows to another excel sheet.
i.e i want to copy row 5 to row 10 in Excel1 and create a new exce2.
any sample code will be helpfull.
Regards,
Kasi

Well, there are a couple of options.
You can use Office Interops to read the excel file and then create the second with the data of your interest.
Another way can be to read the excel sheet using the ADO connection into a dataset and you can write the selected rows as a xml file (using Dataset.writeTo method). Excel can easily read the xml file.![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Hi,
Thanks for your quick reply. Can you send me some sample code.

What have you tried already? Have you researched how to do read and write from excel files? Many people don't like doing work for free, and 'sample' code exists on the internet everywhere, if you have tried using google that is.

Thank you.
I've found the answer.
try
{
NetworkCredential loginInfo = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
MailMessage msg = new MailMessage();
msg.From = new MailAddress("something@gmail.com");
msg.To.Add(new MailAddress("sth@sth.com"));
msg.Subject = "Email Subject";
msg.Body = "Some text";
msg.IsBodyHtml = true;
SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com");
client.EnableSsl = true;
client.UseDefaultCredentials = false;
client.Credentials = loginInfo;
client.Send(msg);
MessageBox.Show("Your password has sended to your email", "Email sended", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);

Hi Guys,
I have the following out put from Sql data adapter(sda)
WebRequest req = null;
WebResponse rsp = null;
Dataset ds=new dataset();
Sda.fill(ds)
string xmlDs= ds.Getxml();
string fileName = xmlDs;
string uri = "http://www.webpage/default.appx";
req = WebRequest.Create(uri);
//req.Proxy = WebProxy.GetDefaultProxy(); // Enable if using proxy
req.Method = "POST"; // Post method
req.ContentType = "text/xml";
I would like to Encript the Xml data before sending it accross.How would i go about it?
Thank you in advance.

The Cryptography namespace is where you need to go. Thing is, do you want to encrypt the XML ( which will mean it's not XML anymore ), or some of the data IN the XML ?

Hi All,
i have a code (below), it take 2 variables, the first being the server name and the second being the eventID to look for in the Directory Service eventlog.
it seems to work fine for all eventID's except the one im looking for - 1394, where it always shows nothing!!
any ideas?
EventLog el = new EventLog("Directory Service", args[0].ToString());
foreach(EventLogEntry i in el.Entries)
{
if(Convert.ToInt32(i.EventID) == Convert.ToInt32(args[1]))
{
Console.WriteLine(i.EventID.ToString() + " - " + i.TimeWritten.ToShortDateString());
}
}

Hey buddys...........I was trying to use an animated picture pox which acts as a button in my application...................So what I wanted was,when the user mouseEnter in to this picture box i wanted to show another picture box which is the same as that picture but the brightness is more than the previous picture box.................I done it easly by going to photoshop and adding a brightness on the picture.............. But I have a lot of picture boxes as the above one which makes my application very slow...... .........So i came with an idea of using Photoshop reference(CS3 photoshop dll file) and want to add a brightness to that picture in a code.................... So please any body with an idea it is nice to me........ thnak you

First, yoiu don't use picturebox's this way. All you do is use a button, set it's Image property to the dimmed image. Handle the MouseEnter and MouseLeave events of the button. In those handlers, just change the Image property to point to either the dimmed or brighted image as appropriate. No pictureboxs involved at all.
BTW - the more controls you have on a form, the slow it renders. The only way to speed things up is to reduce the number of controls on the form.

Thank you man. That is also a good idea............ But to make my customers happy ......i should use this ways ...... because it looks more nice on the picture box than on the button................. by the way i can also make what you said on the picture box.................. thank you

I'm trying to create a custom treeview that will draw a blue rectangle over a selected node and then redraw the text over it. Is there any command that can help me find the (x,y) coordinates of the node? The node can be selected by either mouse, keyboard, or a button. Any suggestions?
|
|
|
|
|
How about using the Bounds property of the node? that good enough for what you want?
