I have a requirement to create windows service. the requirement is to call a windows form while installing the service and to set some configuration parameters. Iam not able to call objForm.ShowDialog() or Application.Run(frmOptions) from the main() method of the service defined in Program.cs
My another requirement is to use command line parameters and check it while installation. The parameters will be like,
install show=true / uninstall show=true / debug show=true / install / uninstall / debug
if install show=true is passed while installation, then from the main it should check whether the service is already installed and based it either install should work or not.
The same thing should happen for uninstall. And for debug we must be able to debug the code by putting the break points.
show=true is used to show the windows form i mentioned top.
Anybody give a immediate response on this
Thanks and regards

Hi
I can describe this in detail.
The service which I created should be installed in to the system using installshield. Then in Start-> Programs we should get the option to "install or uninstall the service".
If we are clicking on install service, it should show a windows form by using which we are setting some config parameters into a config file. After exiting the form, it should check the service is already installed or not. If installed it should say, service is installed already otherwise install the service.
Then by going to Services.msc, we have to start the service and the statements written in OnStart() should be executed.
In VB this install is done by NTService1.install method.
Can you suggest a solution to this?
I got stuck in this for the last one week.
With Regards,
Abraham Chethuvelil

When I am using
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe",
@"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\a\b\1-1b69f6823fcbd047.jpg"));
It throws an Error that "C:\Dokumente\" was not found.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your answers

I don't have the problem, but, try surrounding the argument by quotes, like this:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\WINDOWS\system32\mspaint.exe",<br />
"\"C:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\a\\b\\1-1b69f6823fcbd047.jpg\""));

Hello everyone,
I have added a Web Browser Control to the my Windows Application using the following code:
this.webBrowser1.Navigate("http://yahoo.com");
As I am navagating the web using the WebBroweser Control, I have noticed that if the web-page contains Flash the mouse click works only ONCE. If I click the second time, nothing happens. I have noticed that I can get the mouse click working only for ONE click if I click on a button/tab or anything which is placed in Windows Application but it is not contained in WebBrowser Control.
Can someone be kind enough to tell me what is going on and how I can sort this problem?
Thank you very much and have a great weekend.

I can't seem to reproduce the problem. I created a new form, added in the browser control, navigated to the page, and everything works fine.

Hello,
Thanx for taking the time and trying to reproduct the problem. After my extensive search I found that is a known problem with VS2005. Please see the link http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2311412&SiteID=1[^]
I am not sure why you were not able to reproduct the problem. It could be that you are using VS2008 as it has been suggested that the it doesn't suffer from the problem.
For the time being suggestion to solve this issue is to use VS2008 or using AxWebBrowser control.
Thank you very much and have a great weekend.

Still, i'm glad you figured out what it was.

Hi!
I have bitmap with text on it and I want to get only the text and make the background transparent. I've tried MakeTransparent on the background color.
It returns the text but there are pixel fragments around the text with color of the background.
tnx.
|

Yup antialiasing for ya. I don't think you will be able to get just the text, without the slightly coloured pixels around the edge.
Unless you had some way of reading the text from the bitmap, and then re-drawing it or something. I'm not entirly sure what you want to do.

I'm using webbrowser control with drawtobitmap method to get the image of the html page.
When I call MakeTransparent(backcolor) i get text with artifacts(The halo effect).
How do i get rid of these artifacts?
|
|
|
|
|
Err... okay then.
The way i see it is then, the only colour you KNOW is the original colour of the text, so if the text was white, somehow make every colour that ISN'T white transparent. How you'd go about making every coour in the image transparent except white? You can figure that out.
Or perhaps you could make the text transparent, and do something with that... does GDI+ have masks or anything? I don't know.

Course Instructor’s View:
Course Instructor should be able to Add/Edit/Delete the Content. i.e.
Add/Remove Course outline document.
View All /Add/Edit/Delete Assignments
View All /Add/Edit/Delete Quizes.
View All /Add/Edit/Delete Lecture Slides.
View All /Add/Edit/Delete Handouts.
View All/Add/Edit/Delete Announcement.
1. You have to save the information related to these documents in the SQL Server Database.
Course Outline: Date Given, DateUploaded.
Assignment : Title, Description, DateGiven, DueDate, UploadedDate, FileLocation.
Quiz : Title, Description, DateGiven, UploadedDate, FileLocation
LectureSlides : Topic, Description, DateDelivered, DateUploaded, FileLocation.
Handouts: Topic, Description, Date Given, DateUploaded, FileLocation.
Announcement: Text, AnnouncedDate, Priority(Low/Medium/High)
{“DateUploaded” should be inserted by the program itself, using DateTime.now property.}
{“FileLocation” is the full path of the uploaded file.}
2. In the datagridview, if the user clicks a row, another screen should be opened for a detailed view of that particular Quiz/assignment/test, where he/she would be able to edit the information. He also can Upload a file here.
3. All these content files can be of .doc/.pdf/.html/.ppt/… format. Teacher should be able to browse the file using “fileOpenDialog”. The selected file should then be uploaded/saved to the respective location.
{Hint: see “fileopendialog” and “System.IO.File” or “filestream” class methods, for saving these files}
4. Output Path(where all the course files are to be saved) is not to be hardcoded, rather it should be read from “app.config” file. See this link for help.
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/SystemConfiguration.asp
5. Course Information has to be maintained in proper folder hierarchy. E.g. the hierarchy of Visual Programming course folders should be like this.
? Visual Programming
? Assignments
? Quizes
? Handouts
? Tests
e.g When the first Quiz is to be added, your program should create a folder named “Quizes” and add the quiz file at this location.. OutputPath\CourseName\Quizes\QuizFileName.doc , You have to do the same for Assignments, Handouts and Tests.
6. Create a table having CourseInfo, where each row corresponds to a course. This table should have CourseCode, Title, Instructor, CourseProfilePath.
can anybody help me in this problemm..........

Simple. Go do your own homework. Ask people for help when you have a specific problem.

Hi all
have a good day
how I can write a good code for my apps
I mean , I know a lot of stuff ( API , WMI , Database , Drawing , Encryption , Sockets .... )
and every time I write a program it's work very fine ,
but I didn't like the code that I write
(I need my code to be like professionals code)
for example .... I used this in one of my apps
[code]
lbl1.Text = Environment.GetFolderPath(Evironment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
lbl2.Text = Environment.GetFolderPath(Evironment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);
.
.
.
.
all the special folders
[/code]
but someone professional wrote it this way :
He created a new class file ( Folders.cs ) and add it to project
[code]
public class SpecialFolder
{
private static string [] SpecialFolders = null;
static SpecialFolder()
{
SpecialFolders[0] = Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
SpecialFolders[1] = Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);
.
.
.
.
}
public static string Documents { get { return SpecialFolders[0]; } }
public static string Desktop { get { return SpecialFolders[1]; } }
}
[/code]
------ and he used it like
[code]
lbl1.Text = SpecialFolder.Desktop;
lbl2.Text = SpecialFolder.Documents ;
.
.
.
.
[/code]
would be please advice me what should I read , or what should I learn ..
Kind regards ...

Read articles on this site. Look for articles that get higher ratings and have a read through the code. BTW - the code that you quoted as being written by a professional developer isn't very good. This should have been done in a much more robust fashion, e.g.
public enum SpecialFolderType
{
Desktop,
Personal
}Then further on...
private Dictionary<SpecialFolderType, string> _folders = new Dictionary<SpecialFolderType, string>();
...
_folders.Add(SpecialFolderType.Desktop, Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal); .. and so on.
Then you would retrieve it with
public string Desktop { return _folders[SpecialFolderType.Desktop].Value; }Obviously there are more things that could be done to beef this up even further, such as checking values and so on, but you get the idea.

Thank you so much , for your fast , useful replay
- you said : (BTW - the code that you quoted as being written by a professional developer isn't very good.)
Mr.Pete After I saw your code , I believe that you are right .
His code is not very good , but he is better than me , and you are better than two of us ....
thank you ...

Code Complete is a very good book for general style issues.
<blockquote class="FQ"><div class="FQA">Stark DaFixzer wrote:</div>lbl1.Text = Environment.GetFolderPath(Evironment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
lbl2.Text = Environment.GetFolderPath(Evironment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);</blockquote>
All that sucks about this is the variable names.

SpecialFolders[0] = Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.Personal);
SpecialFolders[1] = Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop);
This is a waste of time in my book. All it does is rewrap something that is already exposed by the framework, and it obsfucates it. Unless there's ever a chance you want to change where SpecialFolder.Desktop points, it's just a waste of time to do this.

Yes, centralizing things so you can change them app wide in one place is a good practice. Good practices adhered to blindly become bad practices.
