And those packages that let you avoid the .NET Framework cost a small fortune.

Word Addins

Hi,
I need to create and Ms-Word addin that will add a footer to all the pages of an open document. I have browsed and got some code.

I have referred MS knowledgebase article and have created an addin, but that code is not adding any button to the commandbar of Word. It did one for outlook. When I made some changes to the code to make it word specific, it still didn't do anything. I have written the following code in OnStartupComplete method:

object oMissing=System.Reflection.Missing.Value;

CommandBars cmdBar = wordApp.ActiveDocument.CommandBars;

try

{

this.myButton = (CommandBarButton)cmdBar["Tools"].Controls.Add(1, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing);

}

catch

{

this.myButton = (CommandBarButton)cmdBar["Tools"].Controls.Add(MsoControlType.msoControlButton, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing, oMissing);

this.myButton.Caption ="Hello";

this.myButton.Style=MsoButtonStyle.msoButtonCaption;

}

this.myButton.Tag ="Hello Butom";

this.myButton.OnAction="MyAddin1.Connect";

this.myButton.Visible =true;

this.myButton.Click += new _CommandBarButtonEvents_ClickEventHandler(this.myButton_Click);

But this is not working. I am also not able to debug it.

Please help!!!!

Remoting

#realJSOP5-Sep-07 1:25

I'm gonna try using remoting with an IPC channel. I haven't seen any evidence that a given remoting channel is bi-directional.

I'm either just not seeing it, or it doesn't do it. Can anyone tell me which is the case.

If a single IPC channel is not bi-directional, can a given app be both a client and a server?

To use it bi-directionally you'll need to set the SerializationLevel to full.

Heres how you do that with configuration files:

note that this is for tcp and binary formatting but it's pretty much the same for any formatter and channel (with a few different attributes in the channel def).

client

<system.runtime.remoting>
<application name="xxx">

<client>
<wellknown type="xxx, xxx" url="tcp://127.0.0.1:xxx/xxx/xxx.rem"/>
</client>

<channels>
<channel ref="tcp" port="0">
<serverProviders>
<formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel="Full" />
</serverProviders>
<clientProviders>
<formatter ref="binary"/>
</clientProviders>
</channel>
</channels>

</application>
</system.runtime.remoting>

server

<system.runtime.remoting>

<application name="xxx">

<service>
<wellknown mode="Singleton" type="xxx, xxx" objectUri="xxx.rem"/>
</service>

<channels>
<channel ref="tcp" port="xxx">
<serverProviders>
<formatter ref="binary" typeFilterLevel="Full" />
</serverProviders>
<clientProviders>
<formatter ref="binary"/>
</clientProviders>
</channel>
</channels>

</application>

</system.runtime.remoting>

It can take some fiddling* to get the config files right but it's well worth it for the ease of configuration later on.

* read: days of looking for single wrong cased letters and trying different combinations.
See the way "wellknown" is all lowercase? when done progromatically they do it WellKnown. Because of that i put wellKnown and it took me agood couple of hours dealing with the inadiquate exceptions to find that one ... even had my boss over helping for an hour of that.

Just a note with the IPC channel. It has a bug with remoting events. Now most of the time you shouldn't rmeote events anyway but you'll often want to with IPC as it's obviously on the same machine and so not so bad to do. THe issue is that after your first client disconnects the server will break. heh ... not so good huh? This means for now you'll have to use TCP, but on the bright side if you use the remoting configuration files (and you should Wink | ;)

) then its very easy to switch channels.

Ya know, if you put a pre tag around that, it'll format...

thats when I then switched to using html encoding X(

hmmm I'll try and put up an article on how I personally do it. I have the little exmaple project I came up with for that bug report which I'll try and pad out with an article. It covers most of the basics and imo impliments some important stuff which is often missing from remoting examples (like shared interfaces and use of config files).

I'll see if I can get round to it tonight (I'll be home in 2 hours) and post it up before I go to bed.

How to use drag & drop in DataGridView...

As answer to your question

John Simmons / outlaw programmer wrote:
can a given app be both a client and a server

the answer is yes.
I've been home on paternityleave for 5 weeks and bored as I was of Soapseries in the evening;), I started making a chatserver and clients using remoting. I created two objects to expose through remoting - server channel object and client channel object. When I fire up the server, it starts a remoting server and exposes the server channel object. I then created a method in the server channel to allow clients to register with the server. When the client fires, it too sets up its own remoting server and exposes the client channel. Upon client registration, the server retrieves the remoting proxy from the client for bi-directional communication.

Hope that's of some help.

Best of luck!

Musical Notes in C#

I just observed an elegant overload of System.Console.Beep in .NET Framework 2.0 BCL which supports musical notes through C#.

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.console.beep.aspx[^]

But I find the way to configure musical notes is bit different and a bit more tedious compared to QBasic Play. Has somebody tried this out and any clue on the mapping between Play Notes in QBasic Play and Beep in .NET Framework 2.0. Also, a quick search in Google didn't much give me much examples too. Perhaps this is kind of unexplored jungle yet? Confused | :confused:

Thats a list of notes and the frequencies in Hz.

Console.Beep(261, 1000);

that should be close to a c (a C6 apparently) and last for a second.

I'm not familiar with QBasic, but I've written some code to play notes with System.Console.Beep, and created XML files to contain tunes. For the last few months I've been driving the system admin nuts by having the email server play Westminster chimes.

If there's enough interest I could write an article.

A hard-coded tune:

part1 = new PIEBALD.Types.SpeakerMusicSong 
( 
    "Westminster 1" 
, 
    120 
, 
    PIEBALD.Types.SpeakerMusicEnumerations.Duration.Quarter 
) ;
part1.Add
( 
    PIEBALD.Types.SpeakerMusicEnumerations.Pitch.E 
, 
    PIEBALD.Types.SpeakerMusicEnumerations.Octave.Fifth 
, 
    PIEBALD.Types.SpeakerMusicEnumerations.Duration.Quarter 
) ;
part1.Add
( 
    PIEBALD.Types.SpeakerMusicEnumerations.Pitch.D

    PIEBALD.Types.SpeakerMusicEnumerations.Octave.Fifth
