A windows service can call other dlls. I would suggest putting the code that is in form1.cs in a new class library. Then add a windows service add a reference to the class library. Then the windows service can call the same code the windows form calls.

What you mean ben?

Are you saying create a different project or what because class library cannot be added in this project.

I tried to create clean class library project and this form1.cs code doesnt fit there because it complains abt different controls.

I am now kind of confused a lot Cry | :((

That is true, you can not put windows controls in your class library. You should not try to do this anyway. What should go in the class library is the methods that are in the form1.cs that use the data from the windows controls. You should have methods that get called by button click events etc.

Then you can add a class library project to your solution and move the code to there. As long as the windows project has a reference to the class library everything should work.

OnLeave event is not firing !?

Hello,

System.IO.Path has a lot of fancy methods like:
string extension = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(filename);

All the best,

I am having a strange experience. I have inherited a grid class and written my own class, say myGrid. Now, i am wrapping myGrid object in myPresentationControl class.

when i set the visibility of myPresentationControl object , sometimes OnLeave event of myGrid is firing and sometimes not, any idea what could be the reason?

Thanks
kumar

Hello,

Maybe it depends on if the Grid has focus or not?

I don't know if that is possible but if it is you would use the Excel Object Model from the Primary Interop Assembly. If you go search on MSDN you can find all sorts of information about it. The namespace is: Microsoft.Office.Excel

Hi, any idea how to calculate files size found in some folder??

string[] arSourceFiles = System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(MyDir);
arSourceFiles.(:confused:);

Try This....

foreach (string file in arSourceFiles)
{
FileInfo finfo = new FileInfo(file);
int filesize = finfo.Length; // Length returns the size of file.
}

Hello,

If you also whant to look in the folders of you main folder, you have to go threw it recursive!

Like this:

private double GetFileSize(DirectoryInfo di, double currentsize)
{
    double actsize = currentsize;
    FileInfo[] AllFiles = di.GetFiles();
    DirectoryInfo[] AllDirectories = di.GetDirectories();

    foreach(FileInfo fi in AllFiles)
    {
        actsize = actsize + fi.Length;
    }

    foreach(DirectoryInfo dinew in AllDirectories)
    {
        actsize = GetFileSize(dinew, actsize);
    }

    return actsize;
}

I think there is some feature in .Net >1.1 which does that.

Hope it helps!

All the best,

Martin

Actually it's just a new overload for the GetFiles method.
