You have to create an owner-drawn menu. There are several articles here on Code Project if you search for "owner-drawn menu"[^] you can find lots of articles that describe setting images for menus, adding color support, etc.
The basics of it is that you handle the DrawItem event of the MenuItem class. Better yet is to extend MenuItem and override OnDrawItem to make your code more robust. This does mean, however, that you'll lose some design-time support since VS.NET does not use your extended class. A simple workaround if you absolutely have to support or use the designer is to design the context menu using the standard classes defined in the BCL then go into the source code and re-define them later. You could always add design-time support as well, but your development costs may outweight the relatively cheap costs of many third-party libraries that already produce such robust menus.
For an overview and some detail - including links to more content - about design-time capabilities of .NET that VS.NET and other designers use and extend, read Enhancing Design-Time Support[^] in the .NET Framework SDK.

Whenever I try to send a message and receive a message in MSMQ I keep getting this wierd error. Or more specifically, when I pickup the message I get:
Body <error: an="" exception="" of="" type:="" {system.invalidoperationexception}="" occurred=""> System.Object
As the attribute for body.
I have it sending fine (I checked in the queue itself). The picking up is asynchronous.
Here is the code that I used for picking it up:
My service initialisation:
MQ.MessageReadPropertyFilter.SetAll();
MQ.ReceiveCompleted += new ReceiveCompletedEventHandler(handleMessage);
IAsyncResult MQResult = MQ.BeginReceive(new TimeSpan(1, 0, 0), MQ);
...
private void handleMessage(object sender, ReceiveCompletedEventArgs e)
{
// get the message from the queue
System.Messaging.Message Msg = ((MessageQueue)e.AsyncResult.AsyncState).EndReceive(e.AsyncResult);
...
If anyone had a suggestion I would appreciate it sooo much!
Cheers,
Jim

So what's the exception type and message that you get thrown? Where is the exception thrown? What is "Body System.Object"?

Sorry, what I mean to say is that when I am looking at the object during runtime with the debugger, this is the property that is held by the object. I do not actually see an exception being thrown, it is a property of the object. I don't even understand how that is possible, but this is what I see when I debug.
Thanks for your help,

What object are you reflecting in the debugger where you see that property? And what do you mean by "this is the property that is held by the object"? Are you saying that the object is defined as a certain type, or that the property reference an object that you don't understand?
We don't know what you're thinking nor anything about your project. You need to be as verbose and clear about what you're asking.

Hey
I am building a Server/Client program, there i am using Async connection with OnConnect and OnDataRecieved.
When the client is connected to the Servern and the server is closing with out sending any Closing command to the client the client craches.
The error is not handle and there is no code for this error?
I am using try/catch in all functions in this connection class, and no data transfer is made out side this class.
Is there a way to se when the connection is lost like OnDisconnect or somthing?
Best Regards
Jimmy
The Program is built lite this article (http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/socketsincs.asp)

You might want to tell us what class(es) you're using, since OnConnect and OnDataRecieved could be methods on any class. Is this a class in the .NET BCL, or some third-party library? There are no such methods defined in the .NET BCL 1.x.
Sending a QUIT or similar message is the job of your protocol. You do not get this for free. HTTP, for example, will quit (unless HTTP Keep-alive is being used) once it downloads the HTTP headers plus the body that is described in the Content-length HTTP header. DICT client and server communications are done when the client sends QUIT.
If you're using asynchronous connections you need to handle the exception in the async callback you defined. You should whether or not the server tells the client it's quiting because something could happen. It's the Internet, with lots of routers and gateway and at least two machines which could experience problems.
There would be no OnDisconnect because communications could be interrupted (your gateway or modem drops the connection when data was not being sent) that would not signal the client nor the server code. The only way you'd know is if you were sending data and all of a sudden the data stream stopped unexpectedly. These are the cases you must handle in a client/server application.

I am trying to develop a windows application allowing user to control windows services. I have an ArrayList containing windows services data to be displayed to the user. Except displaying the Service Name and status, I would like to have a column of check box and maybe a column of buttons associated with each row.
I am not sure whether to use Listview or datagrid? and it seems none of them support column of button control?
Can anyone give me some advice on this?
Thank u very much!!

Hi!
If you want to use a ListView you could take this approach:Embedding Controls in a ListView[^] to "fake" your buttons into the ListView.
Checkboxes can be enabled for the ListView as well, so I think this could work pretty well.
Can't tell you much about the DataGrid, though... 
Regards,
mav

I have this CheckBox Column (DatagridBooleanColumn), i need this to get True/False input from the user, the problem is that at the end of the columns, i can somehow add new rows, How can I make my datagrid Editable but will not alow the user to add new rows when clicking at the bottom, thanks

Hi gentleman,
I am going to establish a connection to SQL server or MSDE and during that I want to show the user a progressbar to view the wasted time.
I tried different Windows timers in the same class (form timer) or system timer with callback function etc. to let the progressbar run but when I sending the connection command the timer stops until connection timeout event rises or connection establishes.
Is there an other way but using a thread to let the timer tick.
Why do the timer not running independant or is there a one I don't know.
Thank you for you inspiration

My datagrid is bound to a database table. One of the table has the web addresses like , www.amazon.com etc etc. I want the users to display the hyperlink in the datagrid and not the value, so that the users can click on the hyperlink and go to the web address.
Thanks for the help.

Is this for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid or System.Windows.Forms.DataGrid? If it's the former, 1) there already is a column type for that (HyperLinkColumn), and 2) your question belongs in the ASP.NET forum.
If it's the latter than you'll need to implement your own DataGridColumnStyle derivative class and add that to a DataGridTableStyle for your DataGrid. Read the documentation[^] for the DataGridTableStyle class to see how it's used with the DataGrid.TableStyles property. This explicitly defines a style (i.e., columns, their header text, width, etc.) which lets you add columns of a specific type.
See the documentation[^] for the DataGridColumnStyle for information - and an example using a DateTimePicker control - about implementing the class. There's also a few articles here on Code Project if you search for "DataGridColumnStyle", but, IMO, you'll find a better example in the .NET Framework SDK.

1. Don't assume people know everything. I've never heard of go!fish. Describe the rules of the game.
2. Post this in the correct forum. This is the C# forum. I suggest you try the Visual C++ forum.

Hello, was wondering does the ArrayList has a way to determine the validity of the item (at compile time) to be placed into the container like C++ template? I know the type that the ArrayList could accept is object (which is everyone) but what if I need to be just integer instead?
Anyway?
thanks

What Corinna was saying about .NET 2.0 would be the List<> class. You can use that like so:
List<int> ints = new List<int>();
ints.Add(1);
ints.Add(2);
ints.Add("blah"); Besides using a generating you can currently extend CollectionBase, which uses an ArrayList internally. You define your methods to be typed according to the Type you want to accept.
Using this is a good way to produce more portable code. If you extend CollectionBase now, you can easily extend List<> later and just remove your CollectionBase overrides:
public class IntList : CollectionBase
{
public int Add(int value)
{
return List.Add(value);
}
public void DoSomething()
{
}
}
public class IntList : List<int>
{
public void DoSomething()
{
}
}See how easy that can be? Without changing your code that uses IntList you can change the base type and avoid boxing (since casting or treating a value type like int as a reference type object requires boxing).

Hello, I have just acquainted myself with C# and .NET and I have a question. I see there are some C# classes that represent Crystal report files and report interfaces (*.rpt and *.xsd) and I want to find out how do these classes work.
Thank you.
|
|
|
|

.xsd is an XML schema file, first of all. You can use these to define fields for a report that you can later bind to a DataSet (disconnected recordset) using ReportDocument.SetDataSource.
Using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET is documented in the product documentation. Read Crystal Reports[^] in MSDN online for more information.
