Try to create them and you will see what they do. I think generally the projects are described quite well, so you do not need much guessing for that.

i have developed a C# code and have converted it into a setup format with the help of "PUBLISH" option in VC#....so that this can be hencefort used at any system.

the thing i also need to place a "help file" (which would guide the users about the application ) in the same folder as of the location where the setup file would store that application.

kindly guide me as to how should i proceed??

thanks.

before publishing, you can choose the files to publish and even to add other files. search for this option in the project properties!

Good Luck!

Create a Setup project and add the project output. You'll have to write an custom Installer assembly and add it to the custom actions if you want to confugure it during the installation.

public partial class ExGridView : DataGridView<br />
{<br />
private int _footerHeight;<br />
public ExGridView()<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
_footerHeight = 20;<br />
}<br />
<br />
public int FooterHeight<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
return _footerHeight;<br />
}<br />
set<br />
{<br />
if (_footerHeight != value)<br />
{<br />
_footerHeight = value;<br />
Invalidate();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
base.OnPaint(e);<br />
Rectangle rOrginal = this.ClientRectangle;<br />
Rectangle rFooter = new Rectangle(0, this.Height, this.Width, _footerHeight);<br />
e.ClipRectangle.Offset(0, _footerHeight);<br />
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(Pens.Black, rFooter);<br />
e.Graphics.DrawString("Test", this.Font, Brushes.Black, new PointF((float)rFooter.X + 10, (float)rFooter.Y + 5)); <br />
}<br />

Hi,

seems rFooter is outside the ClientRectangle, so it gets clipped completely.

remedy: give top part of ClientRectangle to base.OnPaint, keep bottom part for your
owner-drawn footer.

You can not extend the ClientSize of the DGV.
As I said before, you must split the available ClientSize in two parts;
one part for the DGV and one for your footer.
So that means you must create a new PaintEventArgs with a reduced clip rectangle, and
pass that to base.OnPaint().

Problem using Interop type

I am working on a project, which uses the Interop.Excel type from the namespace Microsoft.Office
But I get the following error.

Error	The type or namespace name 'Interop' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I have installed Microsoft office 2003 on my machine. I've got this project copied from another machine to my laptop, but it works fine there. What could be the problem?

This may be a silly question but have you checked that your references are correct in the VS project on your laptop?
Are the files you are referencing against on the laptop?

That would be my first port of call.

You have to download and install PIAs (Primary Interop Assemblies) for your version of MS Office from Microsoft's site.
