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.

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,

I know how to pass arguments at startup but i wanted to pass them to a running instance.
|
|
|
|
|
Take a look at this article on MSDN[^].

i had look at the link but i couldne understand. Could you elaborate just a wee bit?

The idea is roughly the following:
1. When the application starts, a mutex is created to decide whether it's the first instance.
2a. If it's the first instance, the application is registered as a remoting server and it's URI is written into the registry.
2b. If it's not the first instance, the URI of the first instance is fetched from the registry and the command line arguments are used as arguments for calling a method on the first instance. Afterwards, the second instance quits.
This behaviour is packed inside an application framework which handles all the dirty details. You just have to attach an event handler for a StartupArguments event and handle the command line arguments you get there.

Is there a way within C# and .NET Framework to duplicate the "Safely Remove Hardware" functionality. I am using a USB Flash drive on a Windows XP system.
I want to be be able to ensure that the device is removed from the system without loss of data. So I would imagine that the would some driver uninstall or removal of the device from registry or other location. Does anyone know of code to achieve this?
I am currently using code to raise an event when the USB Flash device is added or removed. Based on the following:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Dot_Net/VB_DOT_NET/Q_21599899.html
Just to clarify, I cannot use the standard "Safely Remove Hardare" function that appears in the status bar as My application will not boot to the standard windows shell - so there will be no status bar.

You might be able to gleen something useful out of this[^]. It's a C++ app that will eject a device by
Drive letter: deveject -EjectDrive:E:
DeviceId: deveject "-EjectId:STORAGE\REMOVABLEMEDIA\7&20B2C23&0&RM"
Value Name: deveject "-EjectName:USB Mass Storage Device"
If you're really adventurous, you could convert the code into a utility class in C#. Get ready for some serious P/Invoking!
BTW: This is the ONLY code I've ever found that describes how to do this... And the comments are in German!

Hi all
If i create an excel range object (from a range of items e.g. A1 to C5)
this returns me a System.__ComObject
how do i turn this into a system array so i can then iterate through and strip out the individual cells.
I know i can do Range.Value2, which returns me a System.Object[,]
but then all i have access to is the values within the range so i cant grab additional cell data such as the number format information for working out the date.
any ideas?

just cast the return object into a Excel.Range object and you will be able to iterate through the cells that make up the range. Look for the correct methods, its easy.
You will not be able to turn it into a system array, because if you want to keep all information contained in each cell, ur better off just using directly excel's Range object which contains all the info of all the cells contained in it.
Bare in mind that excel does not have a 'Cell' class (which u would use to create ur system array). It only has the Range class and 1 unique cell is just a Range class object that spans 1 cell.

Hello,
I was trying to force to stop a background worker's do event handler with cancelAsynch method, but it is not stopping the work. Is that possible to force to stop ?

Yes, but the task executed by the BackgroundWorker needs to periodically check the CancellationPending property to determine if it needs to stop.

Hi,
thanks for reply. Ok, I understood that I will have to check the pending property, but in order to check the property, the working loop must finish its task, right ? like,
while( if cancelProperty false)
{
task....
}
Now, the task is very loong task, like sending heavy attachment emails or Playing Audio Stream, so, while loop will not check the state unless the heave task has been finished, right ? I want to FORCE to STOP that heavy task in the middle of its work. Is that possible ?
Moreover, the periodical Property Checking has another drawback which we know by Race Condition, right ?
thanks and regards
Emran

Hi Emran,
Your task could spin off a separate thread to execute the "real" (long) task, then periodically check for cancellation. If the task needs to be cancelled, it could kill the running thread.

Hi,
Is it possible to add DLL reference in runtime ? The reason I am thinking is, I want to provide updates of my software in dll file and use will be able to include that dll file in the program folder.

Of course it is. You can use the Assembly class to load assemblues in runtime.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. Can you show me any easy snippet for example ?
Emran

Hi Emran, I haven't tested this, but it looks like this may work:
bool loadAssembly
(string strDllFilename)
{
try {
Assembly.LoadAssembly (strDllFilename);
} catch (Exception) {
return (false);
}
return (true);
}

Code snippet is :-

strConnect="User ID=;DSN=;Collating Sequence=MACHINE;Data Source= '" + ngisViewer_Open.lay + "' ;Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Cache Authentication=False;Mask Password=False;persist security info=False;Mode=Share Deny None;Extended Properties=;Encrypt Password=False";
OleDbConnection objConn = new OleDbConnection();
OleDbDataAdapter objDA= new OleDbDataAdapter();
OleDbDataAdapter objDA1= new OleDbDataAdapter();
OleDbCommand objCmd = new OleDbCommand();
objConn.ConnectionString = strConnect;
objConn.Open();
strSql = "select * from '" + ngisViewer_Open.lay_Name_Final + "' ";
objCmd.CommandText = strSql;
objCmd.Connection = objConn;
objDA.SelectCommand = objCmd;
DataColumn dc = new DataColumn("UID", typeof(int));
objDA.Fill(ds1,"MyTable");
ds1.Tables["MyTable"].Columns.Add(dc);

How can I save the text from a rich text box that is generated as a new
rich text box in a tab control? The rich text box is created in a "external" class file. I want to be able to have several rich
text boxes open, and save the one that is under the selected tab.
Thanks!

in the tabpages there is a controlcollection where every control from this page is being contained :
With
tabpage.Controls
you can get these controls and then look for your textbox.
On the other hand you can place a reference from the tag of the tabpage to your textbox then you don't have to look it up.
Textbox textbox = new Textbox();
tabpage.Tag = textbox;
And later:
string text = ((TextBox)tabpage.Tag).Text;

Ingo
