As far as I know an icon cannot be specified from a managed dll/exe

I'm not sure what you mean. Executables (.exe,.dll) can have many icons (e.g., shell32.dll). In an registry association you pick one using the icon's position.

For example: C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll,2

I simply want to know how to embed two icons into my application .exe.

I know that but if I'm not mistaken you can't choose an if the dll or executable was compiled from a .NET language then you can't choose icon from it

Hi all,

I have a form which does some TIME TAKING file operations. During this I want the progress bar to run. But the whole form hangs as the machine gets busy with file operations.

I tried to use threading as well but dint work.
Can anyone help please .

Thanks,
Deepa

You should use multithreading. Have a look at BackGroundWorker component in MSDN. It has quite a good example

Hey thanks, It worked.

It even worked with threading. The catch was to make the thread to work in background

t.IsBackground=true;

Hello,

I would definitelly recommend the threading approach, allthough it didn't completely solve your problem.
Additionally you could try to call "Application.DoEvents()".

Hope it helps!

All the best,

Martin

you need to activate the method using Threads :

<br />
private void Method1()<br />
{<br />
     Thread t1 = new Thread(ThreadStart(Method2));<br />
     t1.Start();<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void Method2()<br />
{<br />
     // Do some work!<br />
     // Update progressBar<br />
}<br />
<br />

to update the progressBar, you need to invoke another method because of the asynchronous call to Method2() what you need to do is thaat:

<br />
if(progressBar.InvokeRequired)<br />
{<br />
     progressBar.Invoke(Method3);<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
     // Update progressBar<br />
}<br />
<br />

Method3() Bans Cross thread D'Oh! | :doh:

You want to disable access to internet and network places from within your application? Then don't call any function that uses it until authernticated.

I have a dataset called ReturnedDataset.

It contains 1 row with 1 cell - how do I reference it ?

In vb.net I would do something like - DataSet21.issues(0).title but I cant seem to find the correct syntax for c#.

Thanks

Yes, and if you want to go even further it could be

DataSet.Table["TableName"].Rows[0]["ColumnName"]

or if strongly typed

DataSet.TableName.Rows[0].ColumnName

So your point was?
