is there any way to have a program to delete itself after running?

I know i can just use the RunOnce bit in the registry, but then the application would just be taking up space, never to run again Sniff | :^)

Just a suggestion... But never try Poke tongue | ;-P

Crazy idea...hehehhe
Before the app being died, read the entry from FAT table that points to the exe file and marked it as deleted file....

Obviously, you've been using too much of your namesake. That's the most convoluted solution to this problem that I've ever seen. Besides, you can't do that in NTFS and it would take an extraordinary amount of effort to do something so simple.

Want to display screen coordinates of the mouse in real time

Hi,
I want to display the screen coordinates of the mouse as I move the
mouse around the WinForm.
I want to qualify this question by the following:
1. I DON'T want an L-Button or R-Button click to display the coordinates.
1. I want to see the coordinates on the form. not in a TextBox etc...

thanks a lot....

I have made a program (script) using AutoIt that does exactly that thing. Do you want that program? Download it from my homepage. It also shows hexadecimal color value of a cursor pixel. You can measure relative mouse coords by writing your window position in the number fields and press go.

Thanks for your offer but I'm just looking for the nuts and bolts of how to do this
being a novice programmer. Also I wouldn't know AutoIt from a script in the first place...
All I want to do is move the mouse around and see the mouse coordinates in real time on the screen.....

Add the following code to your form:

Point myMouse;

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
    Point screen = PointToScreen(myMouse);
    string location = screen.ToString();
    e.Graphics.DrawString(location,
        SystemFonts.DefaultFont,
        SystemBrushes.ControlText,
        (PointF)myMouse);
}

protected override void OnMouseMove(MouseEventArgs e)
{
    myMouse = e.Location;
    Invalidate();
    base.OnMouseMove(e);
}

For some damn reason codeproject is lowercasing onmousemove. It should read On Mouse Move (remove spaces)

faxing using FAXCOMLib

What should be the connect string if I want to connect to a Windows 2003 shared fax? I've tried using the name that apears under "Printers and Faxes", but I got an exception. I could fax fine if I use my local driver. Any ideas?

// this uses the local fax driver and it works
faxServer.Connect(null);

// this tries to use the shared service and it raises an Invalid handle exception
faxServer.Connect("server name");

Time out BeginReceive() operation

c#guy381115-Dec-05 8:30

15-Dec-05 8:30

In my server, I am using Asynchronous socket connections. After a client connects, the server Asynchronously waits for the login credentials using Socket.BeginReceive. I have not had this issue yet, but in the what ifs....

Suppose a client connects, is sent a promt from the server to enter login credentials, then just sits there sending nothing. The server holds that asynchronous operation indefinately until something is sent or the client disconnects. How would I time out that operation? I dont think SetSocketOption works on asynchronous operations.

The server would not stop accepting connections by design, but it would keep that socket open, and I dont want that. Any ideas?

Thanks

There is no difference. They work either way.

Really? I set the receiveTimeout option for 100ms, and after about 5 minutes the client was still connected. Are you sure?

Hi there,

The question is rather vague... D'Oh! | :doh:

What is the difinition of the objects in your project??

<< >>

Re: improtant

marmosha15-Dec-05 8:27

marmosha

15-Dec-05 8:27

The objects are: users, CVs, and jobs
Users are supposed to be of 3 types (admin, normal, and manager)
The admin can add, delete, and update jobs and can preview the CVs
The manager can do the same thing as the admin but on part of the jobs and the CVs
Normal users can add, update, delete CVs, plus the ability of previewing and applying for jobs.
is that what you are asking about!! hope so

So do u need someone design whole project for you...??? Frown | :(

If so, I'm afraid of ... becoz it'll take so much time...You should ask specific questions here...

You yourself have to think about the design and write it on paper first, and ask...

Create File Format

I am writing an application in C#. It will be a recipe manager. I would like to be able to use a different file format such as file.recipe or something. How would I go about doing that while associating my application with that file type? Also, how would you go about reading and writing to a file such as this?

Thanks!

The link I gave you is just about how to associate a file extension with an application.
About reading file: this is your own file, your program create it. And certainly, it also understand and know how to read it, right? D'Oh! | :doh:
