Running MSI file from inside a windows forms application Talal Sultan21-Jun-06 0:07 Talal Sultan 21-Jun-06 0:07  hi I'm trying to execute an MSI installation file from inside a windows application. Here's what I'm doing: C# Process p = null; p = new Process(); p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = path; p.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal; p.StartInfo.FileName = "Microsoft_WSE_20_SP3_Runtime.msi"; p.Start(); p.WaitForExit(); When I run it, I get a message saying the installation package could not be opened. When I run it from the command prompt, it works. I use the same code to run osql commands and those work fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? thanks, Talal "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

It works. I have just tested it on the dev machine. I couldn't help noticing your signature...I get that you were supporting Sweden yesterday?

Now some attributes that can be set for a Textbox control should not be configurable at design time by the project using the control library e.g. I don^t want the user of the control to make it accept tabs or make it multiline. Unfortunatly when I put that control on a form the designer can still see the AcceptsTab attribute in the properties-window and put it to true or false. Is there a way to make that attribute dissapear from the properties of the control?? Can I hide attributes of the base class? Thanks for any help you might provide, Davy Re: custom control Talal Sultan21-Jun-06 0:18 Talal Sultan 21-Jun-06 0:18  Have you tried overriding these properties? You could try doing that without putting any attributes on it. Maybe if you do so without specifying in the attribute where you want the property to appear, it just won't appear worth a shot... Sorry that's all I can think of right now Talal "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Krunal C Re: making xml comments mandatory Kevin McFarlane21-Jun-06 0:32 Kevin McFarlane 21-Jun-06 0:32  If you specify the generation of the XML comments file in the project properties then you will get warnings for missing XML comments on public methods and fields. Then maybe you can enforce a policy of having no warnings - not sure whether you can force warnings for missing XML comments to be errors. No doubt in a Team Foundation Server environment you can define a check-in policy.

As was stated you can get a warning but there really is no automated way that I'm aware of to enforce a rule such as this. It is more up to documented procedures and followups such as code reviews. Re: making xml comments mandatory [modified] BoneSoft21-Jun-06 4:12 BoneSoft 21-Jun-06 4:12  No. But if the project has an XML output file, Visual Studio will at least give warnings to invalid or missing XML comments.

Re: making xml comments mandatory Dustin Metzgar21-Jun-06 4:43 Dustin Metzgar 21-Jun-06 4:43  As others have said, you get warnings about XML comments when you set the XML documentation file property. Then in your build properties for the project, why not just set the "Treat Warnings As Errors" to true? Logifusion[^] Re: making xml comments mandatory KrunalC21-Jun-06 23:20 KrunalC 21-Jun-06 23:20  Is there any way to treat only particular warning as an error?? Like in my case i.e. when xml comments are not specified it generates compile error no. cs1591. I would like to treat only this warning as error. I don't want other warnings to stop program compilation. Thanks to all who have taken time to reply my query..

Re: Crsytal Report in C# V.21-Jun-06 0:11 V. 21-Jun-06 0:11  You've asked the same question three times man... To answer your question: You can add a Crystal Reports Viewer as any usercontrol, it's in your toolbar. You can create Crystal Reports in your VS environment by project->Add->New Item Crystal Report However, if you need to create many reports, use the Crystal Decisions Software. You can manipulate reports and the viewer in code, but you need to read up on that. You can find some info on MSDN, but my suggestion would be a book. My learning curve was about 2 or 3 weeks before you can do anything really descent PS: I'm not familiar with VS2005 editions, it could be that the express edition does not contain the Crystal Reports stuff. good luck. I've found a living worth working for, but I haven't found work worth living for. <marquee>      Generics - Cast value to generic type Vince Smith20-Jun-06 22:44 Vince Smith 20-Jun-06 22:44  Hi I have created a generic class. This class has a property on it that takes on the type T that is used when creating an instance of the class. T will be an enumeration. When the instance of the class is being used there are some cases where only the int value relating to the enumeration will be known, in this case I want to pass the int value into my generic class and have it cast it to the enumeration. This is what I can't figure out, see the DatabaseFromValue property below. Any ideas what I need to do here? I'm new to generics, so if I'm completely of track here please say. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace GenericsTestApp { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { EnumSimpleSearch<myenum> search = new EnumSimpleSearch<myenum>(); search.From = MyEnum.cat; //This is fine search.DatabaseFromValue = 1; //This is what I'm having the problem with, see property in class below } } class EnumSimpleSearch<t> { public EnumSimpleSearch() { } private T myVar; public T From { get { return myVar; } set { myVar = value; } } public int DatabaseFromValue { set { //I've tried the following: myVar = (T)value; //Cannot convert type 'int' to 'T' } } } public enum MyEnum { cat = 0, dog = 1 } } Thanks Crsytal Repot in C# Alamzeb khan20-Jun-06 22:42 Alamzeb khan 20-Jun-06 22:42  how can i use Crystal Report in visual studio 2005?
