I'm not sure about that myself. Seems like they're starting to victimize C# as VB was from the start by making too many shortcuts for lazy programmers! Besides, think about answers in the forums. Some n00b asks how to do something, someone answers him one way using the delegate short-form. The n00b disagrees (that always makes me laugh!) because he saw it using the long-form. I think we're going to have lots of cases where typical answer-providers are going to have to explain that quite a bit.
There's already way too many lazy programmers in this field - just look at the VB forum!

If you have a location X and Y, how do you move a control from where it is on a windows form to the location x and y?
Something like
mycontrol.Move(x, y); ???
thanks

|
|
|
|
Try this:
mycontrol.Location = new Point(x, y);

thank you

I don't think there is an easy way. One article here on CP shows how to use an image data type to pass through an array, but I found that a bit complex.
This KB article though on HOW TO: Perform Bulk Updates and Inserts Using OpenXML with .NET Providers in Visual C++ .NET was brilliantly helpful to me. I had to pass through a huge DataTable array to a SP, and it worked like a bomb.

Is there a way to change the background color of a single character (or
maybe even a larger selection) in a RichTextBox?

Hello!
I would like to know how to beautify the Progress Bar? e.g. use gradient color or image for the progression index. Any sample coding here?

Owner-draw it yourself. The ProgressBar in .NET is actually a wrapper class for a progress bar common control in Windows. There's only so much you can do with it before it's easier to do your own.
It's not hard, though. It's just (usually) a rectangle with a certain drawing region that's a percentage, such as value / max + min. There were some great articles by a certain person that went commercial and took all his articles with him...and after he used CP to help beta-test his code.
So, you can either P/Invoke code and try to override the functionality afforded by Windows for the ProgressBar wrapper, or just write your own. Again, it isn't hard. You can use the ControlPaint class to assist (i.e., do all the work) in drawing the correct 3D borders for a rectangle and draw whatever you like in the client area inside the borders (if you want borders, that is). Just use some similar functionality as the progress bar, which is basically a min, max, and value property, and a step method to increment the value (or use value++ and have the property's setter force a repaint). The OnPaint override should do all the drawing (using the ControlPaint for borders, and using the current min, max, and value properties to correctly draw the progress meter). You should also use Control.SetStyle to set the AllPaintingInWmPaint, UserPaint, DoubleBuffer, ResizeRedraw, and Opaque ControlStyles since you'll be handling all the drawing yourself.

To what "problems" are you referring? Specifics are important. If an exception is being thrown, what exception is it and what is its message?
Also, please post only relevent code to the forums.

Best suggestion - don't use C#. Until "Longhorn" is released, the OS is still written in C/C++. Besides, if you use a .NET language like C#, you're going to have to redefine a lot of shell interfaces that you'll need like IShellExtInit, IContextMenu, and IDataObject (not the one in .NET's BCL) as well as a lot of structures like HMENU, ITEMIDLIST. You'll spend more time redefining everything that's easy to get through headers in C/C++ than writing your functionality, but go for it if you like doing such things.
And if you didn't catch it, there's the list of interfaces you'll need: IShellExtInit and IContextMenu.

I thought I remembered seeing a starter kit on www.asp.net[^]
|
|
|
|
|
The Community starter kit at http://www.asp.net/Default.aspx?tabindex=9&tabid=47[^] offers some ideas on all kinds of stuff including discussion boards. You could also look in the asp.net controls section here http://www.asp.net/ControlGallery/default.aspx?Category=34&tabindex=2[^] for forum controls.
If you decided to build your own, a simple design could include a table for Forums, one for Topics, and one for Comments with one-to-many relationships between each (many Topics to one Forum, many Comments to one Topic). It would be pretty standard C# data access code to select/insert data to/from the tables, and a DataGrid or Repeater control would work nicely for display in an ASP.NET page.
Then get more sophisticated by adding user logins...
All in all, this isn't a bad type of project if you're learning C#.

Anyone know how to get a cusor to load from an array of bytes? I have a byte[] in a resorce file that is a custom cursor. I need to load a System.Windows.Forms.Cursor from it. I don't have to use a resource file for it, but it needs to be embeded in the exe some how and not on disk. Thanks in advance.

It's easier if you don't embed it in a ResX file. Instead, add the .cur file to your project and change it's Build Action (in the properties displayed when you click on the file) to "Embedded Resource".
To get the Cursor (Icons work this way, too), either use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream or - easier - use this particular Cursor constructor:
Cursor cur = new Cursor(typeof(SomeClass), "MyCursor.cur"); ...where SomeClass is a Type that scopes the resource (provides both the assembly reference and the namespace to find the embedded resource by name). For more information, see the aforementioned constructor.
Basically, if SomeClass exists in the namespace MyCompany.MyProject, the example would look for an embedded resource named "MyCompany.MyProject.MyCursor.cur".

Thanks Heath. I ended up doing it this way. I added it to the project and used a resourcemanager to pull it out. It works great this way. Resources are one spot in .net that I find lacking. MS didn't even provide a good resource editor. All I can find on the net don't work with custom cursors. I had one that was an adding for vs02 but lost it and can't find it again. It worked great.
