Do you mean how many can you fit ? More than could ever be considered sensible

Hi,

you can count them yourself:

foreach(Control c in myPanel.Controls) {
    if (c is TextBox) tbCount++;
    if (c is ListBox) lbCount++;
    if (c is Button) btnCount++;
    ...
}

Hi,

if nothing else works for you, you can always override the WndProc method;
here is an example from my CodeRescue article for getting hotkey messages:

// We must intercept the WM_HOTKEY message and check lParam !
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) {
	if(m.Msg==0x0312) {	// WM_HOTKEY (winuser.h)
		int lParam=(int)m.LParam;
		if(lParam==0x00710002) RescueCode();		// CTRL+F2
	}
	base.WndProc(ref m);
}

User Interface, setup project.

Hello

VS 2005

I am creating a setup project using the deployment project.

I have added a user interface to the setup. Right click setup project | View | User interface.

The problem I am having is I need to have dialog with 2 radio buttons i.e.(A and B). If the user selects A they will enter the details of something (will need 2 text boxes). If they select B then they will need 4 text boxes.

BTW, The user interface dialog boxes are not very flexible as you cannot drag and drop you own controls on to it.

Is there a way to have 2 radio button and hide or make visible the text boxes that the user will enter into.

Many thanks for any help or suggestions,

Steve

Deployment is done with an msi, and no, you can't just build your own dialog forms for it.

Hello,

I thought maybe you could point me in the right direction of using the dialog boxes that come with the setup editor.

Based on the conditions of using 2 radio buttons, it will display either 2 text boxes or 4.

Thanks for any more suggestions,

Steve

There are a few articles around on creating your own custom user dialogs ... but it's not a particually nice way to do things.

If you check down the results you'll see one or 2 on CP Smile | :)

Hi I am working on a windows Application. I want to store the Passwords in SQL server 2005 in encrypted format. How to do this?

And Again how to validate the credentials with an user input

If you do not need to retrieve the password that was stored, you can use a hash version of it. When a user enters his username and password in your application, you would hash the password and compare it to the hash that you have in the database to see if it matches.
If you need to have a way to retrieve the password, you cannot use hash, you need to apply an encryption algorithm to be able to decryt it later.

Can you just send me a sample of hashing. Rose | [Rose]

Re: Encryption

You have two types of hashes you can do, MD5 or SHA1. The following method gives you a SHA1 hash string of the string it receives.

public string CreateSHA1PasswordHash(string inputString)
{
	SHA1 sha1 = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();  
	byte[] buffer = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(inputString); 
	byte[] cipher = sha1.ComputeHash(buffer);
	StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(cipher.Length * 2);  
	for (int i=0; i<cipher.Length; i++)  
           sb.Append(cipher[i].ToString("x2"));  
	return sb.ToString();
}

Hope this helps.

Typically, you'd use the Cryptography namespace, pick an algorithm, salt your password and pass a hash into SQL Server. Then you'd pass the user input, also salted and hashed, to a stored proc that returns if the username/password combination is valid

Installing a windows service on a windows 2003 server

Hi,

I have a problem installing my windows service on a windows 2003 Server, user is a administrator.
I have no problem installing the same service under Windows XP.

I get the following error message:

An exception occurred while trying to find the installers in the c:\program files\archivetool\archivetool.exe assembly.
System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException: One or more of the types in the assembly unable to load.
Aborting installation for c:\program files\archivetool\archivetool.exe.
Rolling back assembly 'c:\program files\archivetool\archivetool.exe'.
Affected parameters are:
assemblypath = c:\program files\archivetool\archivetool.exe
logfile = c:\program files\archivetool\archivetool.InstallLog

Searching internet forum I get the idea that something with the .net Framework 1.1 ( which is the framework I need to run my service) is wrong. But I checked that the newest version of the .net Framework 1.1 for windows 2003 server is installed.

Does any of you have an idea? Iam really stuck.

thanks.
