Hi, my project builds a DLL (for an Explorer Bar), and I'd like to embed a couple icons in it so that I can add it to the IE toolbar. I'd like to be able to access those icons via the standard reference way: "c:\programs\browser.dll,101" refers to the icon in that DLL at that resource slot.
I've created a resX file, and I know the icon resources get packaged into the DLL, but I can't access those icons from an icon editor or elsewhere in Windows, so I don't think the icon resources are being packaged in the usual way that windows expects for Win32 (unmanaged) applications. How can I package Win32 resources in a (managed) C# assembly?
Thanks,
Arun

This is a tedious task, at least with VS.NET 2002. Don't know if this changes with 2K3 though.
You have to create base64-ed resources and add them in your .resx file.
Then the compiler usually takes the .resx, migrates it to a .resource file and embed it in the output assembly. All this is automatically done unless explicitely told not to.
Amazingly enough, the only way I have found to add base64-ed resources in the .resx file, other than resources explicitely referenced in Form controls, is to do it by code. See the Resource section in MSDN.

Hmm, I've downloaded a few resource editors, including a couple on codeproject. I'm also stuck with VS.NET 2002 -- I hope 2003 improves some of these things, and I look forward to trying it out.
I know that I've added resources (icons and otherwise) in a .resx file which is then later part of the assembly. However, I don't know a way to refer to that resource in a way that IE might understand when it's reading a registry entry.
IE expects a format like
Icon => "C:\Program Files\BrowserBar\browserbar.dll,101"
in the registry, but as far as I can tell, I can't access the resources in my current assembly that way, but I can browse through the resources using Lutz Roeder's Resourcer, and it's all packages away neatly by class.

In fact, you need to add the /win32res:xxxx switch in the cmdline when you are using either csc.exe or al.exe. xxxx is the name of a win32 .res resource file (that is, a compiled WIN32 .rc file). This will embed both icons and bitmaps, and icons will appear as standard icons in windows explorer and shell32.
If you need to embed only one icon, then you can use the /win32icon switch instead.

Thanks, it looks like that will do the trick... once I convert my project files to BAT or Makefiles.
It's frustrating that the win32res switches can't be configured within VS.NET 2002, so it looks like I'd have to scrap my project files and move towards using a batch file for builds?
I hope VS.NET 2003 fixes these shortcomings in dealing with resources, particularly Win32 resources.
Already it seems that I need to run RC on a .rc file that VS.NET 2003 allows me to create but doesn't seem to compile automatically in my solution.
It'd be nice at this point if I could easily add a win32res to a DLL assembly... or if I could easily compute the CSC commandline that VS.NET is using, but alas.

I believe the cmdline is the only way to go, for the foreseeable future.
Ironically, may be those features get integrated in the free iSharpDevelop IDE sooner than VS.NET.

I suppose this is a C# question.
Do you know if there are any code templates out there for outputing the XML Documentation tags when you generate C# code from Visio? Ideally it should support:
<summary>
<example>
<param>
<permission>
<returns>
And maybe even <remarks>, <see> and <seealso> through adding an extra tagged value to the object, if that can that be detected/used? (I really don't know, maybe through an addin?)
I could write my own for the basics, but it would be nice if there were some already out there for simplicitys sake, and if it offered some of the other stuff it would be great.

Well after adding <summary> and <returns> tags to the appropriate object templates, it has become apparant that code tempaltes where added to Visio five minutes before it shipped. Not very customisable at all, and they insist on prefixing comments with // ! 
Please Visio team - allow us to do something like %tag[name=Documentation]% in our templates, or ever better provide some form of XPath approach to navigate XML data representing the object. Please! That would make the code generation really useful.
Looks like it's going to be lots of tweaking in VS.NET after generating for me.

I have a small ActiveX Control in C# (Windows Form rendered as ActiveX using OBJECT tag) and rendered in IE.
How can I refer the document loaded in IE from within this ACtiveX Control instead of redundantly downloading it again using WebClient.

Chances are the IE address bar is visible, then the easiest thing I think of is to use Spy++, get the control ID of the address bar, then used standard windowing to retrieve the content of it.
Namely, get the window handle and/or control id of the underlying
editbox, then a mere ::GetWindowText(hWnd, str) will get what you need. (I am speaking in C++ terms but I guess you'll find out easily how to translate the words in C#).

How are you downloading it, and to where? A WebBrowser control?

Can anyone tell me syntax to filter on child rows of a dataset or DataViewManager
I want to display in a datagrid, all the parent rows who have a particular text value in a column in the child table.
So far I have tried:
dataset.Tables["client"].DefaultView.RowFilter = "Child(relationName).category = 'TextValue'";
and
dataset.Tables["client"].DefaultView.RowFilter = "Max(Child(relationName).category) = 'TextValue'";
The first one returns all parent rows regardless of the child column value and the bottom one only returns the parents who ONLY have one child row that matches the 'TextValue'... parents that have one matching row and other child rows with non-matching rows do not show up...
Any help appreciated
Cheers

What is the difference between using the AppendText method to concatenate a string to another and using the + operator for the same purpose? Is using the AppendText method more efficient or there is no difference at all?

Hi All!!
can some one tell me exact code to get the row count of data grid.
sorry for my bad English.
|

You can get row count for instance as:
1. If DataSource is a DataTable
((DataTable)myGrid.DataSource).Rows.Count
2. If DataSource is a DataSet
((DataSet)myGrid.DataSource).Tables[myGrid.DataMember].Rows.Count
etc. with DataView. Next problem - DataGrid can have some sources (like DataSet). You must specify, what DataTable rows You want to count.
Next solution it is to use protected DataGrid property ListManager in inherited object:
((DataView)this.ListManager.List).Count

Does anyone know if I can formatonly part of the TextBox.Text property.For Example if I assign Textbox.Text = "Hello World";, is it possible to make word "Hello" red and "world" blue?

As far as I know, not unless you impliment the text property yourself in a subclassed control.
You might want to try using an RTF control.

Using C# in a winform, I'm creating a file backup program that uses a treeview/listview pair, just like Windows Explorer, only exception is that all entries have checkboxes for selection... you make your selections and then save a backup file (in XML) containing a record of all dirs/files for that job. Works fine.
In order to edit a saved job, the treeview/listview pair must be "re-hydrated", so that all selections for a given job are restored and the user can view and make changes.
I know you can programmatically check/uncheck items, but I'd like to make the selections by sending mouse click messages, just as if I were making the selections for the first time with a mouse... can't use the "node.Check = true" method because it conflicts with my job creation logic.
Is it possible to send mouse click messages programmatically...??? How is it done...?
thanks very much.

you can Invoke the tree's onmouseclick event with that when you fill the tree event object fill the node you want so as if it clicks on that item.

thanks for the reply... can you give me more info or an example of how I can send a mouseclick message to the treeview entry...???
thanks...
