Thanks, thats really usefull

I am trying to install (with MSI) a Document to "My Documents" for the current user. So I need to do something like c:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\My Documents as the DefaultDirectory. How do I get the User name in an Install?
|
|
|
|
|
I asked this a while ago, its quite simple really
string mydocs = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments);
the key part is obviously the environment.getfolderpath part, theres quite a few 'special folders' that are in there quite usefull
|

Sure in code. But I was talking about an install project. There is a property for a folder called DefaultDirectory. I havn't done very many installs and the ones I have done are pretty straight forward so I could be missing something.

Hello
You can make an exe file that will copy the files you want to "My Documents" using C# code, and excute it during/after your installation as a custom action.

Yes, but there must be a way to do it from the installer. That's probably too big of a hammer for this particular nail. MS must have allowed for a way to do this within the Install Project.

Sorry! Looks like you don't know MS that well!! They are not the "Good guys" anymore.. It would be rational to think that "My Documents" folder is private to the user and why would you put anything in it?!! Stupid, I know, but it's the case. The closest you can get is the "Application data" folder which is in the Documents folder. Otherwise there is one silly workaround. Get a special folder's path -eg. User's Start menu-, which is close to "My Documents" folder, then use a relative path from there to "My Documents".

You probably can get this info our of MSDN but ...
You won't get the users password (You don't really need it if all you are looking for is to identify the current windows user). Other wise use ...
Environment.UserName
Lots of good stuff in the Environment class so you should check it out.

Damn right there is, its full of so much useful stuff its not even funny. (Oh, the time i could have saved if only i'd known sooner)

Hi
how can i kil thread gracefully in c#1.1
|
|
|
|

The most graceful way is to tell the thread to stop on it's own.
If the thread is running an instance method of a class, you could change a proeprty in the class to flag that it's time to stop.
Otherwise there is a special exception (don't recall what it's called right now) that you can raise in the thead, that you can initiate from outside the thread and catch inside the thread. That gives the thread a chance to clean up whatever it needs before turning in.

I was just reading about Monitors, and stumbled upon the Exception that is used to interrupt a thread. The exception is ThreadInterruptedException, and is created with the Interrupt method of the Thread class.

Use something like a volatile bool quit, set it to true and periodically check if it's true in your thread.

Hi,
Using VS2005
I have three comboboxes with the purpose of selecting a member from a lookup table and inserting their meberID into another table. Each combobox has the same links ie:
The datasource -> nameLookuptable
The displaymember -> memberName
The valuemember -> memberID
The databindings - selected value will link to another table that is to record the memberID although I have tried leaving this blank to test the workings but this doesn't make any difference to the problem.
The problem I have is that selecting a member from the drop down list in any one of the comboboxs results in all three changing.
I've tried everything to isolate the problem but can't.
On another form in the same project, I have no problems with the configuration of the comboboxes as above.
Any suggestions welcomed.

If three combos have the same data source, they will do this. The solution is to set the data source in code, and to use the Clone method to make copies of the data source, so they point to different objects, but with the same data.

Hi,
There will be at least 15 combos required on the page - do I need 15 clones!
I'm confused because the combos works fine on a different tabbed page on the same form !

In my experience, I think so. Or a better design, why do you need 15 combos that have the same info in them ?

I'd be surprised if the code was the same, I've had the same problem, and making copies of the array ( in my case ) being used for the combos was what solved it.

The form requires the user to select which member did what - in this case propose, second motions etc.
I'm beginning to think the problem lies elsewhere and may be linked to the bindingnavigator.
I can't believe that you need to clone when what I want to do is really standard out of the box stuff.

Do a simple test. Create a form with as many combo boxes as you like. Create a List, and make it the data source. They will all change selection. Clone the list for each data source. They won't. At least, that's how it works here.

Yep - that's how it works here - unbelievable!
I'm now creating individual bindingsources to work around this - at least it works.
I'd clone if I knew how to

Clone is one of the four magic methods that Object ( and therefore every .NET class ) has. So, if your old code is
combo1.DataSource = x
combo2.DataSource = x
combo3.DataSource = x
change it to
combo1.DataSource = x.Clone()
combo2.DataSource = x.Clone()
combo3.DataSource = x.Clone()
Now, in C# I need to cast the object returned to the correct type, but as VB.NET is weakly typed, you may not need to do that.

For each duplicate combobox, create a unique BindingContext.
this.comboBox1.BindingContext = new BindingContext();
this.comboBox2.BindingContext = new BindingContext();
...
Otherwise they all inherit the default BindingContext from the forms I believe.
