Mike/Dorman thnx for the great inputs. I have looked into all of these issues but I find no clue why this is happening.
Is this some kind of weird inconsistency which is particular to .NET 2.0+Win2000 I am using???
Regards,

Hello, is it a good way (and easy) to use skins (visual styles) in c# with .net ?
I have a custom control called XPExplorer Bar : http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/XPTaskBar.aspx
It's a great control and to use a skin with it (from a .dll that contains an UI file) I just use something like :
taskPane1.UseCustomTheme("themes/4.dll");
If I use the above line the visual style from the DLL is applied to the control.
I would like to do the same with the TopMenu (the menu strip) and other buttons/controls ...
I hope some one can guide me with this, thanx

It is not as simple as that for using visual styles in applications as everything is drawn using the uxtheme WinAPI within Windows XP/Vista.
One of my articles might be able to assist with a different method of theming controls with WinForms. Theming in general gets easier with WPF, but even then you are not able to alter aspects using visual styles of the uxtheme engine.

I'm in need of a deployable database solution for my Windows Forms projects. VS.NET has Local Database (.sdf) which asks you to install SQL Server Pocket Edition and Service-based Database (.mdf) which requires SQL Server Express to be installed. What can I use for my project that I can deploy in a setup?

You can just deploy an access DB, I thought. But, that is an mdf file. I guess they are moving away from that, because it sucks. I thought there was also a SQL Server embedded, which becomes part of your exe, but I am vague on the details, I keep meaning to look into that for my app.

I am not going to do the work for you, nor can I open your head and pour in the knowledge you need to implement a .NET remoting solution. Perhaps you will have to go learn .NET remoting so you can use it, what do you think about that?

I have a form that calls a dialogbox, Type, of the class dlgType. In the dialog box I have three radio buttons to select an equipment type, and a private variable - Selected - to contain the latest radio button selection. When the user clicks OK, the button handler assigns the value of Selected to a property called Choice. That's when the goofiness happens. Up to that point, Selected contains the correct value. But upon assigning Choice its value, the set function associated with Choice is called over and over again, causing a stack overflow error. I've watched it happen by stepping through the debug process (can I buy a replacement F11 key? I'm wearing this one out.) from the beginning of the code. The error definitely begins when the OK button is clicked and the set function is called. Can anyone suggest why this is happenning? And, by the way, I've tried it without the this prefix on Choice, too; same result. Here's the dialog code:
namespace SubMaint<br />
{<br />
public partial class dlgType : Form<br />
{<br />
public dlgType()<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
<br />
}<br />
private int Selected = 0;<br />
public int Choice<br />
{<br />
get {return Choice;}<br />
set {Choice = value;}<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
private void rbTransformer_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if (rbTransformer.Checked == true)<br />
{<br />
Selected = 1;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void rbRegulator_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if (rbRegulator.Checked == true)<br />
{<br />
Selected = 2;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void rbRecloser_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if (rbRecloser.Checked == true)<br />
{<br />
Selected = 3;<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void btnOK_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
if (Selected > 0)<br />
this.Choice = Selected;<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}
Any assistance will probably save me some hair...

Your problem is here:
public int Choice
{
get {return Choice;}
set {Choice = value;}
}In the set block, you are taking the assigned value, and setting to Choice, which calls the same bit of code again. A property isn't a way of storing data, it is a way of accessing data that is stored privately in the object. You need to add a backing storage variable for the data. Like this:
private int _choice;
public int Choice
{
get
{
return _choice;
}
set
{
_choice = value;
}
}
Here the private variable _choice is used to store the data. The public property Choice is used to get & set that data.
(If you are using VS2008, there is a kind of shortcut property. You can just write this:
public int Choice
{
get;
set;
}
and it will automatically manage the backing variable for the data storage itself. You still need a backing variable, but in this case it is basically a visual studio trick, when it compiles the code it will just create the backing variable for you. Personally, I don't like this though, I prefer to declare it all in full, I think it's clearer.)

That did the trick... Thanks!
Now to figure out how to get the value back to the form before the dialog closes... 
"A Journey of a Thousand Rest Stops Begins with a Single Movement"

No prob.
(You don't have to. Just use the property to get it after the dialog has been closed:
dlgType dialog = new dlgType();
DialogResult result = dialog.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK)
{
MessageBox.Show(dialog.Choice);
}
)
Good luck.

That's essentially what I'm doing, but I'm getting an odd display. I think it's a casting problem; I'm returning an int, and using a message box to display the selected value for testing purposes. I thought I could cast the int with either (char)int or (string)int, but apparently that doesn't work. The display has a cute little square box where the digit ought to be. When I get home tonight I'm planning to play with Convert.ToString() instead, though I can't see why it should work when the more basic methods don't work. It's not really essential, though, as the message box won't be part of the program. So long as the int is being returned correctly, I'm happy.

Just call .ToString() on the int object. That should do the job.

That worked very nicely - Thanks, again!
Of course, being an idiot I forgot the () at first and got the strangest error... Ah, well, it gave me time to suck down a starter beer and get my head out of work mode and into play mode.
