Re: != Operator Cant be applied Error

9-Feb-06 1:01

Hello, I have a WebBrowser Control in Windows Form and The following code is generating an error

for (; webBrowser1.ReadyState != SHDocVw.tagREADYSTATE.READYSTATE_COMPLETE; )
{
// Tasks
}

Error :
Operator '!=' cannot be applied to operands of type 'System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserReadyState' and 'SHDocVw.tagREADYSTATE'

Can you help me by giving me the clue please.

Thanks
Emran

Because they are of different types. Try this instead:

for (; webBrowser1.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete; )
{
// Tasks
}

Resource files

Hi all,

I have created a resource file using a Resource Editor
this file consists of images for my fomrs,then
have added this resource file in my project and now i want to
insert the images from this resource file to the picturebox on the main MDI
form. but this gives me problem.

The code that i have written is as follows.
System.Reflection.Assembly assembly;

assembly = this.GetType().Assembly;

System.Resources.ResourceManager rm = new System.Resources.ResourceManager
("WebBlogGenerator.manage", assembly);
here WebBlogGenerator is the name of my project and manage is the resource file name.
now i get the image from the resource file

Image managedomainmouseover = (System.Drawing.Image)rm.GetObject
("managedomain");

and i get the error on this line saying that
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Additional information: Could not find any resources appropriate for the specified culture (or the neutral culture) in the given assembly. Make sure "WebBlogGenerator.manage.resources" was correctly embedded or linked into assembly "Web Blog Generator".
baseName: WebBlogGenerator.manage locationInfo: <null> resource file name: WebBlogGenerator.manage.resources assembly: Web Blog Generator, Version=1.0.2231.31335, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

i had used the same code for a project earlier
but this is giving me an error

Can anyone help me out
or suggest me another way to create a resource file of the images that
i am using in my project.

Thanks and Regards,

Pramod

Hi,
I can show you the way I am using and it is working fine with me.

I added image files from "Add existing Items" Under Project Name of Solution Explorer.
then, I am using a method to poplulate a picture box from Resource.

fillPicBoxFromResource(ref picBoxGoHome, "Images.home1.gif"); // Images was the name of the Folder where I kept images under Project.
you can use this way too,

fillPicBoxFromResource(ref picBoxGoHome, "home1.gif"); // Images was the name of the

private void fillPicBoxFromResource(ref PictureBox pB, string resourcePath)
{
Stream imgStream = null;
// get a reference to the current assembly
Assembly a = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly();
// get a list of resource names from the manifest
string[] resNames = a.GetManifestResourceNames();
foreach (string s in resNames)
{
if (s.EndsWith(resourcePath))
{
imgStream = a.GetManifestResourceStream(s);
if (!(null == imgStream))
{
pB.Image = Bitmap.FromStream(imgStream) as Bitmap;
imgStream.Close();
imgStream = null;
}
}
}
}

Another Alternative :
Select the picture box and Choose Picture you want to add to resource. Click Project Resource , ( not local resource). Then change the picture and keep on adding pictures in Project resource.
Now, this one liner will load the picture from resource to Picture box.

this.pictureBoxName.Image = global::ProjectName.Properties.Resources.pictureName;

pictureName will be easily found from Intellisense.

Hope this solution will help you.

I dont see any reason why it wont work. The images you add in your project, you must choose the build option embedded resource ( for the first method I have shown ).

for the second method, you dont have to choose build option, as you will choose those images from picture box's "choose image" .

Let me know if you dont get those working..

i tried the first method but that is not working
the image is not displayed.

i did not get the second method

can u give any other way..

Thanks,

Pramod

Ok,
I am explaining the second method.

=>When you select the picture box in design mode, you see an black arrow on top of the control, right ? click that, you see the following options,
- Choose Image
- Size Mode
- Dock in parent Container.

=> Ok, so Choose Image.
=> Now you have 2 options,
- Local Resource,
- Project Resource File.

Click on Project Resource File Radio Button,
then Click Import,
Choose a picture and then click Ok.

Now, note that, the picture you added has been added in Project Resource file. Now if you click that black arrow again and choose another picture for the same picturebox, the previous image is not deleted from the project resource, it is still there.
Now, you do the same process again and again for all the pictures you want to add in your project resource.

When you are ready with all the pictures you wanted to add, you can use the code I gave you to load any picture from project resource. I am giving you the code again,

this.pictureBoxName.Image = global::projectName.Properties.Resources.original_picture_name; (without extension...) you dont need to type the name of the picture. When you follow the intellisence of the Visual C# Editor, you will see the picture name after typing
this.pictureBoxName.Image = global::projectName.Properties.Resources.

Ok, The picturebox you used to import all these picture in Project Resource is not the only picturebox who can load these resource images. Any other picture box will be able to load these images with the code I mentioned.

May be it is very inefficient way, but it is working for me very nice.

Let me know if still this method not working..

Thanks,

Oh I see.... I did not use VS 2003 and I am sorry about that. I thought you were using VS 2005. I am using VS 2005 Express which is free to download and way more rich. Anyway, if you use VS 2005, i hope my code will be helpful for you.

Just to show you the black arrow, I have captured the picture from my Editor and uploaded to this following link.

Hi everyone,

I used the sample bars project which in turn uses BandObjects to be used as an IE toolbar. The problem is that on some machines bandobjects library does nto work. The damned toolbar simply does nto get selected for display. I thought it was an IE problem until I installed Motley Fool toolbar (which is written in VC++) and it (Motley fool toolbar) worked. It actually showed up. However my toolbar using band objects still refuses to work on that machine.

Can anyone please help me? I would be very greatful. Sniff | :^)

Can i pass command line arguments to a running instance of my application??

Command line args can be passed to the application on startup (via the strings[] parameter to the app's Main() method). See this[^] article for more information.

Passing commands to a running application is a different matter altogether and may be accomplished in several ways.

Hope this helps,
