It does, but I added another special folder that is "Send To"

Sorry  .. Ok, the shortcut gets created, but when you right click an icon "say on the desktop" you'll not be seeing that shortcut among the list although it's there in the user's send to folder but the problem is the "start in" property of the shortcut.. anywayz, I thought of a trick to change that shortcut file from .lnk to .lnkx "so I can include it in the setup application folder  " and then I set the PostBuild command-line as:
@ren "%userprofile%"\SendTo\"QSoft - Language Reader.lnkx" "%userprofile%"\SendTo\"QSoft - Language Reader.lnk"
However, I dont seem to get it working
Thanks Justin

I had some problems on a project a couple months back with creating shortcuts and a couple other things. I decided that instead of trying to let the setup project do it, I would over-ride the installer class. There is simply stuff that I wanted to do, but either the installer class wasn't capable of, or it was a huge pain do implement. You could over-ride the installer class to do what you want, and you can also have lots of other custom actions. There is a great article that will get you headed in the right direction, if you choose to do this. Conditional Install of Desktop and Quick Launch Shortcuts.[^] It is very simple, and easy to implement. Doing the basic install of the software is still handled by the regular installer project. If you have any questions, let me know Hope this helps
Oh, here is another article that shows how you can pass arguments. It's the same for passing it to your over-ridden installer class, or to the installer for custom actions.
A Setup and Deployment project that passes parameters to the configuration file[^]

That's great! Now, you can go other custom things during your installer that you couldn't do with a normal installer. That over-ridden installer class is great!

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to configure the oracle db to work by batches, (send processed data while still computing the query at db).
I want my large query to be segmented in order to send chunks of data to an OracleDataReader, I’m guessing the "normal" behavior is to execute an OracleCommand and waits for it to complete.
Thanks

Hi
I am working on a desktop application using C#.NET. I am using Crystal Reports for reporting. At a certain point in application I change the culture of CurrentThread.i.e
//System.Globalization.CultureInfo abc = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
//System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = abc;
This change is reflected in the application and of course in crystal Reports. When I set the Date Format of CurrentThread.
//System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.DateTimeFormat.ShortDatePattern = this.DataSet.DataTable[0]["dt_format"].ToString();
The change is reflected in tha application but my crystal reports donot reflect any changes. How can I set date format of PrintDate field after changing the DateTimeFormat of current thread. Or is there a way this change can be reflected to crystal reports as well
Can anybody help me what I should do?
I will be really grateful.

Hi
I have a problem while installing Windows Service.
I have a Win Service Application in C# and to install that I added the Installer class too with the name ProjectInstaller.cs . I am using installutil to install the service.
The problem is I wish to pass two parameters while installing this service, one a Service Name and another a key to Configuration file.
I am giving it like installutil /name=<servicename> /key=<config name=""> <service exe="">
The service is installing properly, but based on my requirement, I want this parameter to be used in Service1.cs class by taking it from ProjectInstaller.cs file. This is not working properly. I think These two are working as two processes.
Is there any way to get the parameters we are giving with installutil in Service.cs file?
Or in other words, Somebody recommended me to use Inter Process Communication. Is it the best way to solve this issue? Will this Inter process Communication possible between two class files in same .Net Windows Service Application?

now I am using installutil /name="String" /key="value" <exe name="">
But it is not appearing as the parameter values of Main method

Hi,
I am writing a small program, where I need to transfer Excel Data into Access tables using C#.Net.If anyone has attempted this please be kind enough to help me on this.

Use the JET OLE DB Provider to connect to your spreadsheet. Loop through the data in the spreadsheet and run an INSERT query on your Access database for each row of data.

You could also fill a datatable from from the excel spreadsheet (ExcelDT)
and also fill another datatable from the Access Table (AccessDT).
Then just use a foreach loop on the excel datatable:
foreach (DataRow row in ExcelDT.Rows)
{
DataRow newrow = AccessDT.NewRow();
newrow.ItemArray = row.ItemArray;
AccessDT.Rows.Add(newrow);
}
Finally call update on the AccessDT and Bingo your done
Hope this helps.

This method adds unnecessary overhead to the process. It is more efficient to use a DataReader to access the Excel data and run direct INSERT statements against the Access database.

I have a group of shapes in a WPF UserControl, and I want them to all have the same color selected by the user at runtime. I thought I could create a DynamicResource in place of a hard coded fill value and change the value through the code behind class. This would let me create a property box with a color picker and allow the user to change colors. I cannot get this to work. Below are a couple examples of what I have tried.
Usercontrol XAML file:
<code>
<UserControl x:Class="WpfCustomControlLibrary2.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Height="300" Width="300">
<UserControl.Resources>
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="SolidBrush" Color="Red"/>
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<Ellipse Height="27" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="50,42,0,0" Name="ellipse1" Stroke="Black" Fill="{DynamicResource SolidBrush}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="46" />
<Ellipse Height="27" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="ellipse2" Stroke="Black" Fill="#FF0000FF" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="46" />
</Grid>
</UserControl>
</code>
Code behind class for the control.
<code>
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
static UserControl1()
{
FillColorProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("SolidBrush", typeof(SolidColorBrush),
typeof(UserControl1), new UIPropertyMetadata(Brushes.PowderBlue));
}
static DependencyProperty FillColorProperty;
/// <summary>
/// PLACEHOLDER
/// </summary>
public SolidColorBrush SolidBrush
{
get
{
return (SolidColorBrush)base.GetValue(FillColorProperty);
}
set
{
base.SetValue(FillColorProperty, value);
}
}
}
</code>
I have tried so many ways to do this, that I am grasping at straws now. Any help would be appreciated.

So you define a Resouce and a dependend property with the same Name - why don't you just stay with the Dependend Property?
(I can't even see where you use the "SolidBrush"-Resource).
Maybe you can post some code where you want to use this Brush because I guess your mistake lies there.

I guess I am not being to helpful to myself. I just want to create a custom control with two ellipses with a variable fill color that can be changed at runtime.
The control would have a property dialog with a color picker, that would change the ellipse fill color to the selected color. That is all I need.
I know I could set the fill color of each ellipse independently by modifying the Fill property in the codebehind, but I was looking for a way to just change a single "color" variable and save myself some work.
I have been trying every combination of resource, dynamic property, and anything else I can find, and I posted some code somewhere between changes.
Thanks for any help you can give.

<UserControl.Resources>

<Ellipse Height="27" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="ellipse2" Stroke="Black" Fill="{DynamicResource SolidBrush}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="46" />
</Grid>
<UserControl>
In the control's code behind file:
SolidColorBrush _FillColor;
public SolidColorBrush SolidBrush
{
get
{
return (SolidColorBrush) _FillColor;
}
set
{
_FillColor = value;
}
}
I got an answer from the MSDN Forums
<UserControl x:Class="WpfCustomControlLibrary2.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
DataContext="{Binding RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}"
Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<Ellipse Height="27" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="50,42,0,0" Name="ellipse1" Stroke="Black" Fill="{Binding Path=SolidBrush}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="46" />
<Ellipse Height="27" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="ellipse2" Stroke="Black" Fill="{Binding Path=SolidBrush}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="46" />
</Grid>
<UserControl>
OR
<UserControl x:Class="WpfCustomControlLibrary2.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<Ellipse Height="27" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="50,42,0,0" Name="ellipse1" Stroke="Black" Fill="{Binding Path=SolidBrush, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="46" />
<Ellipse Height="27" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="10,10,0,0" Name="ellipse2" Stroke="Black" Fill="{Binding Path=SolidBrush, RelativeSource={RelativeSource AncestorType={x:Type UserControl}}}" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="46" />
</Grid>
<UserControl>
And change the code behind to:
public static readonly DependencyProperty SolidBrushProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("SolidBrush", typeof(SolidColorBrush), typeof(UserControl1), new UIPropertyMetadata(null));
public SolidColorBrush SolidBrush
{
get { return (SolidColorBrush)GetValue(SolidBrushProperty); }
set { SetValue(SolidBrushProperty, value); }
}
Maybe this helps someone else.

This one should work but maybe you should change the DependencyProperty code to something like
<br />
FrameworkPropertyMetadata metaBrush= new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(<br />
Brushes.Blue, FrameworkPropertyMetadataOptions.None);<br />
SolidBrushProperty = DependencyProperty.Register("SolidBrush",<br />
typeof(SolidColorBrush),<br />
typeof(UserControl1),<br />
metaBrush);<br />
(I normaly define this in the static constructor of the class)
As you can see the only difference is the use of the initialised (Blue brush) FrameworkPropertyMetadata instead of a empty UIPropertyMetadata.
The rest looks fine to me.
