You can set the EditIndex like this:

GridView.EditIndex = GridView.Rows.Count;
Hope this helps!!!

Universal Toolbox Item installation help

Jason Farrar1-Oct-07 9:06

Right now the company I work for has three different Visual studio toolbox installation utilities to install the controls into each toolbox. I've taken it upon myself to, in my free time, combine these into a single utility. The obvious route (to me anyways, I could be wrong) is to use reflection and since I don't have much experience with using reflection I thought this would be a good time to learn.

The scenario is such: I'm developing this utility in VS2002 because it's the least common denominator.

For the VS2005 procedure I figured out how to instantiate the Solution2 part of the deal(I think):

				<br />
DTE dte = (DTE)System.Activator.CreateInstance(System.Type.GetTypeFromProgID("VisualStudio.DTE.8.0"),true);<br />
Console.WriteLine(dte.Version);<br />
string tmpFile = System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(Path.GetTempFileName());<br />
string tmpDir = string.Format("{0}{1}", Path.GetTempPath(), tmpFile);<br />
Type t = assem.GetType("EnvDTE80.Solution2");<br />
MethodInfo mif = t.GetMethod("GetProjectTemplate",new Type[] {typeof(string),typeof(string)});<br />
object result = mif.Invoke(dte.Solution,new object[] {"WindowsApplication.zip","CSharp"});<br />
string templatePath = result.ToString();<br />
mif = t.GetMethod("AddFromTemplate",new Type[] {typeof(string),typeof(string),typeof(string),typeof(bool)});<br />
result = mif.Invoke(dte.Solution, new object[]{templatePath, tmpDir, tmpFile, false});<br />

is equivalent to:

<br />
Solution2 solution = DesignTimeEnvironment.Solution as Solution2;<br />
string templatePath = solution.GetProjectTemplate(projectTemplate, "CSharp");<br />
Project proj = solution.AddFromTemplate(templatePath, tmpDir, tmpFile, false);<br />

I know what the following code does, it grabs a handle to the toolbox of the designated instance of the DTE, you then use the property toolbox.toolboxtabs to search through the tabs a for a matching tab name and if it doesn't find it then create the tab name. It's the first two lines that I can't figure out.

EnvDTE.Window window = DesignTimeEnvironment.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindToolbox);<br />
      EnvDTE.ToolBox toolbox = (EnvDTE.ToolBox)window.Object;<br />
      ToolBoxTab CurrentTab = null;<br />
      foreach (ToolBoxTab tab in toolbox.ToolBoxTabs)<br />
      {<br />
          // Is there a match?<br />
          if (tab.Name == toolboxTabName)<br />
          {<br />
              // Yes.<br />
              CurrentTab = tab;<br />
              break;<br />
           }<br />
      }<br />
      if (CurrentTab == null)<br />
      {<br />
          // No.  Create a new one!<br />
          CurrentTab = toolbox.ToolBoxTabs.Add(toolboxTabName);<br />
      }<br />

EnvDTE.Window and EnvDTE.ToolBox are interfaces; I thought you couldn't instantiate an interface? WTF | :WTF:

Also EnvDTE is not an instanced object per say but just the class, so how would I construct
similar code using reflection? I tried using a similar approach as I did above with getting the Solution2 but I've gotten nowhere with it. I just can't seem to wrap my head around how to get the handle to the toolbox and then utilize the toolboxtabs property.

I've a feeling this is deceptively simple and I'll be wearing the Code Project Dunce Hat later but I've been banging my head against this for a week or so now on and off and finally decided I need a more experienced person's input.

I haven't worked with integrating into VS before, but I think I help explain some of the code. The first line:

EnvDTE.Window window = DesignTimeEnvironment.Windows.Item(EnvDTE.Constants.vsWindowKindToolbox);

The class/interface DesignTimeEnvironment has a property called Windows (which I'm assuiming are the windows in the IDE). The type of the Windows property has a method called Item. This method takes a constant enumeration to determine which type of window to return.

Now the Item method is returning an interface (of EnvDTE.Window as you say). This doesn't mean the interface was instantiated. The IDE most likely has a class for the Toolbox window, but only exposes to external applications through the interface.

So to use reflection, you would need to get the Windows property (through GetProperty) then execute the Item method.

The same concept applies for the interface on the second line. Internally it's using a class, but only exposes it using the EnvDTE.ToolBox interface.

Take care,
Tom

MSMQ Triggers

Not Active1-Oct-07 9:06

1-Oct-07 9:06

OK this is getting frustrating. I've been experimenting with using triggers for a MSMQ project and thought I'd start with something simple. So I created a private queue on my machine, created a rule that would open an exe (calc.exe), applied it to a trigger on the queue and sent a message to it. Nothing. The message gets to the queue, but the trigger never fires. I've looked high and low for examples, found few, and tried to follow them, but the outcome is always the same, the trigger never seems to be fired.

Anyone have some experience with MSMQ Triggers? What is going wrong here?

Check your task manager. I suspect that Calc is being started up "invisible" under the Network Services user account.

Hello. I have this class that overloads the comparisson operator (==). It is throwing me an overflow exception:

public class DataItem
{
    private int _id;
    ...
    public static bool operator== (DataItem item1, DataItem item2)
    {
        if (item1 != null && item2 != null)
            return item1._id == item2._id;
        else
            return false;
    }

    public static bool operator!= (DataItem item1, DataItem item2)
    {
        return !(item1 == item2);
    }
    ...
}

The problem is that in the operator== method, I validate that both items are not null, but (because of the comparisson of the object to null) it calls again the operator== method. So it seems that I cannot validate whether the objects are null or not. Anyone has an idea of what can I do about this?

Thanks in advance.

i have a datagridview on a form the single operation i want is that when the data displayed on the gridview the gridview.enabled command must be false but i want the scroll bars to be active i have done the following code
datgridview1.enabled = false; but it also locks the scrollbars both vertical and horizontal i want that this must be active

Apparently not.

Again, what is the desired outcome you are looking for? Do you want to display the datagrid to the user with the ability scroll, but without the ability to edit records?

If this isn't what you want, perhaps you need to take a few moments to think about it, and describe your problem better.
