Dear Sirs,
I need to restrict the colours and the fontname of a control that will be displayed on a property grid.
For example, in my application I only will allow the user select on of the follow FontNames for a control in a propertygrid: {Arial, Calibri, Comic Sans MS, Arial Black, and others}.
The same will be happened with the allowed colours do be selected.
I would also know the easiest way to hide all properties, except "Size", "Location", "Font", "Backcolour", and some properties that I've created. I've learned to use Browsable(true/False), or using BrowsableAttributes. But there are some properties within an Attribute that should be hide.
Thanks,
Almerindo Paiva

Create a proxy; a new class that contains the properties that you want to set.

Hi Does anyone know of a good book that actually has C# Coding in it to use as a good reference book. Thanks.
|
|
|
|

Almost all of them, provided they do not have multiple exclamation marks, the words "for dummies" or the word "in x days" in the title.
Have a look the the Wrox[^] selection, or Addison-Wesley[^]

CLR via C# is a very good book if you want to spend learning more time about the internals of the .Net framework (rather than the programming language itself).

What I really want is a Reference Guide to the actual codings thanks

The MSDN C# Language Reference[^] is all you need, then. Most pages have sample code, as well.
Whew! I had to click twice - once to get to Google, and the other to get the page - to find that for you. I'm pooped... time for bed.

I go with Abhinav, CLR via C# is still best book for me. If you do not have concept clear, example does less of purpose.

Go for the Nutshell book - see my post (and the one before mine) in this thread.

When this came up a month ago or so (again), I did a bit of research and found an excellent book. In fact, I bought it myself. The OP that time was looking for a book that included exercises and answers, just like a real textbook, and this one has them. The one thing it lacks, which might be a good thing for a beginner, is much coverage of data access. Although that's most of what I want to master, lengthy discussions of ADO really detract from learning the fundamentals of the language, and are better left to specialty books. It does an outstanding job of teaching the essentials of the language, and is specifically targeted for Visual Studio development for Windows. Although I've been writing functional, if not fancy, apps in C# for years, I've learned a bunch from this text, and hope to spend some quality time with it soon.
It's published by Wrox Press (unsurprising, as they produce some of the best programming books available, consistently), and entitled "Beginning Visual C# 2010." The ISBN is 978-0-470-50226-6, and it's available at Amazon. It's also dirt cheap.

Jeffery Richter's book
Applied Microsoft.NET framework programming
CLR via C#
Best according to me...
|
|
|

I've found the C# 4 Nutshell[^] book to be an excellent reference.

The "In a Nutshell" books from O'Reilly are fantastic, as has been mentioned. They're great if you want a mixture of reference/examples. They cover a huge number of the libraries in the .NET framework, and also have great little example applications you can try too. Definitely worth having in your library.

I'm going to go slightly different here and recommend Jon Skeet's C# in Depth book. Have a look at Jon's site here[^].

Here are a few books that might assist you:
1. Sams Fluent CSharp 2011
2. Cengage C# Programming 2010 by Barbara Doyle
3. Microsoft Press Visual C# 2010 Step by Step
1. Is aimed at those with some .net, visual basic, C# exposure and speaks in patterns and english.
2. Is straightforward Application tutorial using C#
3. Is a comprehensive tutorial for beginners, one I reccomend.

I have my web site ready for my UI person to pretty it up.
All I have left to do is write the web service for it so other web sites can use it.
I didn't think it would be this puzzling since I had seen that option before as a project template and I understand (at a high level at least) what SOAP is.
I've already coded using the web site with Entity Framework (which requires the .NET Framework 4.0) and the only web service examples I have been able to dig up say 'pick Framework 3.5' in the instructions.
As many articles as I've looked at I must be missing something. There has to be a way to do this without rewriting my search in Framework 3.5, right?
All I want to do is either return 0 or more records which have four strings (each) based on search criteria, or return a detail record if an id is passed.
So, it looks like EF4 is my brick wall.
Any hints how to go through/around it?
TIA,
-Chris C.

To create webservice in .Net 4.0, you need to create an asp.net web application project and then add a "web service" new item. With WCF in hand, do you really want to do that?
WCF can do much more than web service and faster.

I'll start with that thanks!
> With WCF in hand, do you really want to do that?
And... I can take a hint, so I've done some quick reading about how WCF is a 'service framework' and why that's superior to a web service (don't need a web server).
But one (possibly stupid) question:
Can it act as a Web Service? (I know it can run on a web server but that might not be the same thing)
This is only a critical question because the specification (written by a contractor that is no longer here) calls for a web service.
TIA,
-Chris C.

Yes. WCF is largely transport agnostic. The same code can serve up different transport types, merely by changing configuration, so you could have the same code simultaneously serving up via named pipes, TCP and HTTP without changing a single line of code.
