I want to do the following when I click on the panel.

1. I want to add a picturebox only if i click anywhere on the panel.
2. If I click again on an exisiting picturebox which is currently
being display on the panel add another picturebox on the top.
Based on the mouseclick location.

I have done the 1st step on panelClick event but not sure how to do the 2nd step.

Thanks

Adding another picture box on the top should be as simple as panel.Controls.Add(anotherPictureBox) and then anotherPictureBox.BringToFront()

Thanks for answering. I know how to add a control to the panel but my problem is that how can i findout either i click on the panel itself or on the control which resides on the panel.

Just use the Click event of the picturebox

anotherPictureBox.Click += new EventHandler(ProcessClick); // ProcessClick is a function (event handler)

You can use the sender parameter in the event handler to know what object has been clicked.

How to force DataGridView to Draw empty rows

Hi, I new to C# so I have one question. On my dialog form I placed DataGridView and resize it on whole form. I populate grid with query which returns four rows total. My grid is larger and remaining space is grayed, how to force datagridview to draw empty row's to populate rest of the control?
Also, how to hide first column, the one in which moderators signs is shown (the star, right arrow...) because I'm using datagridview as read only and do not allow any modification upon control?
Big thanks!

I don't know if the DataGridView supports populating empty rows. If you don't like the grayed space use the BackgroundColor property.

To remove the RowHeaders set the RowHeadersVisible to false.

It doesn't meter if the color of the remaining space on DataGridView is grayed or some other color. The thing is it looks odd, little bit annoying I should say.
It's more natural to see data table style and no meter if some or all rows are filled. I thought it can be done (and I still do).

how to get all properties of all users of ad [modified]

hi everyone!

i would like to get all active directory entries for all users.

i know how to get the name for all users in active directory for example.

so lets say a user has 50 entires in ad, then i do have to call them one by one using the property name e.g. "givenname" and so on.

i would like to create a two dimensional array which contains all infos for all users out of the ad.

but i have no clue how to get the property names into an array.

it should be something like this:

List < string > Propertylist = new List < string >();
(the spaces have to be removed in the braces but otherwise it won't show up here!)

Then convert them to an array and use them to write the property to a file. Something like that:

<br />
StreamWriter ConsoleFile = new StreamWriter("adproperty.txt");<br />
<br />
DirectoryEntry entry = new DirectoryEntry("LDAP://DOMAIN");<br />
DirectorySearcher DSearch = new DirectorySearcher(entry);<br />
<br />
DSearch.Filter = "(&(objectClass=user))"; // define a filter criterium<br />
<br />
// FILL PROPERTYLIST NAMES INTO ARRAY HERE<br />
<br />
foreach (SearchResult sResultSet in DSearch.FindAll())<br />
{<br />
  for (int i=0; i < propertylist.count; i++) <br />
{<br />
    string value = sResultSet.Properties[PropertyList[i]][0].ToString();<br />
    ConsoleFile.WriteLine(value);<br />
  }<br />
}<br />
ConsoleFile.Close();<br />

so value will pass through names like "givenname", "title", "company", "mail" etc.

and my array looks like this
user1,givenname
user1, title
.....
user2,givenname
user2,title
......
user3,givenname
etc.

Because otherwise I would have to add one line for each property by hand.
e.g. ConsoleFile.WriteLine(sResultSet.Properties["givenname"][0].ToString());

Does anyone have an idea, how to get all propertys (by name) into a string array to use it in a loop?
I found a way to get the number of them but i found no way to get their names into a string array.

Thanks!
Stephan.

i have a WebBrowser control on my form and i would like to invoke the "Send page by email" functionality. i tried stuff like

<br />
int WM_COMMAND = 0x0111;<br />
int ID_IE_FILE_SENDPAGE = 279;<br />
m_NullPointer = IntPtr.Zero;<br />
m_hWBShellDocObjHandle = (IntPtr)0;<br />
<br />
HandleRef hr = new HandleRef(this.web, this.web.Handle);<br />
IntPtr ret = SendMessage(hr, (uint)WM_COMMAND, (IntPtr)ID_IE_FILE_SENDPAGE, m_NullPointer);<br />

and stuff like

<br />
web.Document.ExecCommand(......<br />

none work.

please point me the way

How to intercept Graphics.DrawString() method call

njhy10-Mar-08 5:15

10-Mar-08 5:15

I have a need to create a hook for a C# application. The app writes data on a form via System.Drawing.Graphics::DrawString() method. I need to figure out what it writes to the form and act upon based on that. The application is written by another company, and I have no control over it.

For a Win32 application written in C++, I would create a global CBT hook. Previously I've created Win32 Hook that injects my implementation for TextOutW, TextOutA, ExtTextOutW and ExtTextOutA. I then figure out what is written to the window inside those methods.

Question I have is "is there any way to intercept the DrawString() method call" or is there any other way to accomplish what I need to do?

Any help you can provide will be greately appreciated.

Thank you.

I don't know it will work for you, but I've heard TypeMock.NET can intercept method calls to anything.

You can also check out PostSharp[^] or other IL-weaving/Aspect-oriented-programming tools to intercept method calls.

I need to figure out what is written via DrawString() on the form without changing behavior of the application. Which means that I must call DrawString() my self after intercepting the method call. However, TypeMock.NET does not seem to let me do that. I am very interested in how it figures out injection point and injects a Mock type, though.

PosSharp seems to require source code, which I do not have.

what is the best way to store and search a huge file?

Hi All,
I have a question regarding C# data structure.
My scenario is following:

I have a file that contains millions of today's viewing records(>2GB). What I need to do is -- for each viewing record, I need to find/search the matching viewing record from yesterday's file ( these viewing files are created daily ). Using SQL Server is just too slow for this( and I just need to find one matching record among millions ), and the files are probably too big to load into memory. What is the best approach to balance memory and speed? Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

I don't think you can beat SQL Server.

Alternatively, you could make your own indexing system for the files.

I can think of specialized ways to outperform SQL, especially if the records aren't in SQL to begin with. The question is whether it's worth the money (and time) to do it.

Have you tried defining some indexes? If the database is designed properly there shouldn't be a performance problem for this.

Loading a file with that much data is going to be very costly in terms of memory use and performance as well.

Maybe I didnot state it clearly enough. I am looking for something like a HashTable, where I can find the record with a provided key, so that I dont have to join tables and then do a select statement to select that one record from the DB.
I personally have not tried the SQL Server method cuz I was told that it was too slow for the task(The team has tried it before). Is there any data structure out there that might fit this scenerio? or SQL Server is the only way?

Of course not. It is however the best conventional method.

From my experience I would want to confirm that. If they already did a research project to look at that approach you should be able to look at the project and run it etc. You may find that that they did not do something as simple as creating the appropriate index(s) to support the requirements.

Also what about the hardware, OS and Database tuning? Perhaps the machine was not appropriate to the requirements. If you have 2 gigs of data then you could use a large server (memory and processors) and possibly configure the Database to use enough physical memory to keep the records in memory at all times. I don't know squat about tuning a Relational Database and possible the OS to run one, but I would find an expert and exhaust that approach before I jumped into considering anything else.

Maybe check to see if the currentcell value is null?

string value;
if(dgOutput.CurrentCell.Value == null)
{
value = "null";
}
else
{
value = dgOutput.CurrentCell.Value.ToString();
