Thanks for this detailed answer. There are a couple of problems though
1. This resource is created by Visual Studio, and I've never moved it
2. I do not support more than one language in my application
3. Because it's loaded in the InitializeComponent method, I am powerless to stop the IDE from changing that line of code, every time I edit the form.
I'll check if it's been marked private, do you have any other suggestions ?

What appears to me is that when the default ResourceManager method with one parameter, i.e., ResourceManager(typeof(DetailsActions)) is called, it is getting called in the correct assembly (i.e., "RDC") because the error mentioned by you clearly shows the name of the assembly being searched, i.e.,
"Make sure "DetailsActions.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "RDC"."
So, when you compare the aforesaid single-parameter ResourceManager method with the two-parameters method namely ResourceManager("RDC.controls.DetailsActions", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()), it appears that the assembly is being identified correctly. The only problem is that the call to typeof(DetailsActions) is resulting into something like "DetailsActions" instead of resulting into the required fully qualified Namespace / path of "RDC.Controls.DetailsActions". So, perhaps what is required to be done is that when the InitializeComponent method of the user control is called for the purpose of constructing the embedded resources, it should make typeof(DetailsActions) to produce fully qualified Namespace / path of "RDC.Controls.DetailsActions". So, I wonder whether the Namespace mentioned in the source file containing the user control can be changed to the fully qualified Namespace of "RDC.Controls...." if it is not so already and whether it helps in solving the problem. If it does not help (unfortunately I cannot visualize your actual code), you may please try to somehow ensure that the typeof operator when run on the class of user control returns the full Namespace path. This problem might perhaps have arisen due to the user control having been initially designed in one environment and then the same being copied to a different solution leading to conflict of namespaces.
As an alternative, you may also try changing the default namespace to the fully qualified namespace (if not so already) in the properties of the project containing user control.
I can only hope that it works.

In my application I am using a StatusBar of which I need to change Icon dynamically on different event. I did something like this:
Icon redIcon = new Icon(@"C:\Documents and Settings\Me\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\Invoices\Icons\Red_light.ico");
statusBarPanel1.Icon = redIcon;
But when I tried to deploy this application the package and deployment wizard did not include the folder under my solution. So, when I installed it to any PC other then mine, I got an error:
Could not find a part of the path "C:\Documents and Settings\haider\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\InvoiceQueue\Icons\Check.ico
How can I use these Icon files that my setup project includes it.
Also lets assume that I included these files in my setup project but how would I know the path of that Icon folder because right now I am hardcoding the location but user may change the location of installation etc.
In ASP.NET we used Server.MapPath but how or what technique I need to use in Windows Applications? Thanks a lot for your time in advance.
Best Regards,
Rob

Hi Rob,
you have two choice, either embed the icons as resources or include them as content.
If you use the content, I cant remember the syntax in c# but for vb.net it would be something like:
dim redIcon as new Icon = Application.startuppath & "\red_light.ico"
Check the help in VSS quickly, or look on here for the conversion to c#. Very simple.

As the other reply suggests, I would rather embed the resources in the assembly. Add the icon to the project in Solution Explorer and in the property window, select Embedded Resource instead of Content.
And in code, use something this constructor[^]:
Icon icon = new Icon(GetType(), "IconName.ico"); I hope this helps!

Hi
I have a status bar in my main form. This status bar displays different text. I need to display a tooltip with a text (on mouse over) if the text is too large to fit into the status bar - if it's not completely visible (similar functionality as in Visual Studio). How do I determine if the length of the text string is larger than the current width of the status bar panel? I currently use Graphics.MeasureString method, but results are not consistent.
Thank you in advance

Results are not consistent because of different font types.
You might like to use system font.

Somebody is winding you up. .NET is here to stay. The new WinFx framework is built on-top of the current .NET implementation. C#, managed code and all the other goodies that came with .NET are continuing to evolve and are now central to Microsoft's developer strategy.

I need to be able to conditionally compile some code based on the compiler version, but I've been unable find any compiler defined symbols let alone something with the compiler version. If anyone know where these are defined I sure would appreciate you letting me know. Thanks

C# doesn't have any predefined symbols. There is nothing that specified the version of the .NET Framework or compiler version at compile-time. Also, macro's using the preprocessor directives are not supported. This is because there is no real preprocessor in the C# compiler, it's kind of "simulated".

Hi!
I wanna simulate keypress in a directx application.
I thought I'd use PostMessage for this, but how can I get it's handle? There's no caption, so FindWindow
doesn't work, and because it's a fullscreen application, I can't get the handle
with spy++ neither.
Any1 knows any way to do this?(without using applications that put it into a window)
Thanks

Hello,
I am trying to make a program where I can get curve data points after placing a few points on screen and having the Windows GDI Draw a curve from those few points. I already have the program done to the point where I can place points and draw a curve, but now I want to be able to get the data of many points on that drawn curve. So if I place five points, and let the GDI draw the curve I would like to be able to get around 100 data points that lay on that curve. Does anyone know where I could get this functionality in C#. I have been searching online for a while. I wish the GDI would just have a function where I could just get all the points it uses to draw the curve but I don't think that is built in.
Thanks for your help,
Michael Brown

need to split into an array string where delimeter is "ftp://";
(please note that I can not change
"ftp://" to single char, and I have no idea how many ftp sites there might be
to extract, could be one, could be 100's or 1000's)
|
|
|
|
|
Why can't you replace the "ftp://" with a "|" or something and then do the split?
