There is no "word cutting" function in the Windows API. Are you talking about cutting a word out of a text string? This you have to code yourself...

I'd say Microsoft's FxCop -- it's what Microsoft themselves use for their internal testing including development of Visual Studio and the .NET base class library. It quickly evolves (in fact, you can download a version for testing the .NET 2.0 beta code right now), it's free, and there's an SDK available if you want to write your own rules.

Any remotely useful information on my blog will be removed immediately.

i have a windows application which is a msn messenger clone. I have a text box that requires u to type ur username and password - both of whcih are visible to the user. The user can clcik a button and directly be signed into his inbox. how do i do this. I have seen this functionality in Trillian and many other messnger clients. Apparently as far as i know, the application passes a few parameters to the hotmail site and - voila!

YOU don't use it. It's used by the name resolvers (DNS, WINS) to resolve names to IP addresses.

i know that either DNS or WINS is used for resolving IP addresses but in this case i specifically need to use the hosts file

in developing a site in C# and i wanted to know how is URl cloaking done. I mean like: no matter what link i navigate to, it still shows kme the original URL in the address bar like (www.XXX.com) instead of showing the entire link. How can this be acheived.

Just put your pages inside a frameset, or IFrame.
May I add that this is horrible, bookmarks don't work, and navigation sucks. I avoid this kind of site like the plague.

Yes, even I am blogging now!

Search the articles on codeproject, there's several articles on how to use serial ports. FYI, in .NET 2.0, there's a managed implementation of Serial port access in the form of System.IO.Ports.SerialPort.

has anyone heard of clustering pc's in >NET. I've seen it in C/C++ but havent come across in .NET! i feel the .NET community lags behing when it come to these scenarious. I mean clutering PC's for computiong things like mersenne prime numbers...calculatios etc like SETI@home.

Whats the differece between prallel processing, gid computiong, clustering, distributed architecture? does anyione know of a good resource for this info.

Override the WndProc message of your main form and evaluate the Message.Msg property. Example:

protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) 
{
if (m.Msg == 0x001C)
{
// Caught the WM_ACTIVATEAPP message
}

base.WndProc(m);
}

i came across this application called Ad-Mucher www.admuncher.com. Its the popup blocker, admuncher, etc all rolled into one and...its the bst u can find! It directly taps into the communcation buffer or something and modifies requests on the fly. How do these work? No ones ever managed to answer my question. Is there a sim alr kinda app in .NET (Please dont tell me anything of crude methods of modiying the HOSTS file etc). admuncher i cided in ASM and it removes all malicious javascript and activex code and to top it all off its only 100kb

Re: ad muncher

These most likely work by installing some sort of COM listener into Internet Explorer; listening when the browser navigates, intercepts the IHtmlDocument2, and modifies it to remove any ActiveX objects and I guess Javascript (don't know why you'd want to remove Javascript since it's overall quite harmless and most webpages require it...).

Also, you will find that if your posts are well-written and sound half intelligent, you'll get more replies and better answers to your question. The following words in your post are misspelled: bst, u, sim, alr, kinda, cided

FileSystemWatcher.FileName case?

Quiffco1-Dec-04 0:15

Quiffco

1-Dec-04 0:15

does anyone know if there's a reason a FileSystemWatcher event always gives a lower case version of the file name?

I.E. if the file "Bob.tif" enters my watched directory, the triggered event contains the name "bob.tif".

Obviously this doesn't affect how windows works with the file, being case insensitive, but I'm currently working on a renaming application, so the case of the file name is important.

Any ideas?

Re: FileSystemWatcher.FileName case?

Dave Kreskowiak1-Dec-04 4:17

The only work around I can think of is to use the Path class' GetFullPath method to retrieve the path from the file system, using the file path returned by the Watcher. You could then use the Path.GetFileName method on the returned string to get just the filename with extension.

Using GetFullPath on the e.FullPath still returns a lower case string, even making a FileInfo object on the e.FullPath still returns a lower case full path.

It would appear that if you start with a lower case file path, both Path and FileInfo commands will keep the name as lower case, so with the FileSystemWatcher returning only lower case names, there's no way to do it.

I've worked around this by getting the file info from the File System watcher when the file is renamed, and get the file name from the users input, but this still doesn't help when someone manually renames a file in the directory, it still returns the lower case name.

Is it just me, or is Microsofts choice to flatten file names to lower case with file system watchers kinda strange?

Passing parameter file to VS.net Winform design screen

Gary Perkin1-Dec-04 0:12

Hi,

I am developing a shape design app which will output a set of xy cordinates plus some other info. This info defines the shape.

I will then open a VS.net project, go to the design screen, and copy a custom control onto the Windows Form. This custom control will have a set of properties which can be entered manually as any other. However, I want to use the set of properties which I created using my design app above.

I am wondering if there is a standard for doing this? I could, for example, get the design app to output an XML file, and then give the custom control a property which specifies the XML file name, and read the data from there.

Maybe I could create a "DLL" type file, and embed it as a resource file in the project.

There are I think several ways to skin this particular cat, but I would like to use the standard, accepted method, if there is one.

Of course, if I could fire up the design app from VS.net, that would be all the better...!

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Regards,
Gary.
