Hi,
I am building a class libarary project in MS VS 2005, when I deploy my application I don't want to my clients reference to my assembly or know about methods in my assemby.
Could anyone help me?
Thank a lot!

If I understand your question correctly: you want to prevent clients from reusing your code through referencing in their own projects.
If that is the case, then you may want to look into obfuscation (I use Spices.VSIP.Obfuscator). Obfuscation assists in preventing decompiling of projects and assists in scrambling method names so that only authorized programs can interact with them.

Hi
can any body please tell how to navigate between forms in windows application.
like back and forward in web browser.
Thanks in advance.

|
|
create a form object, close the previous form and open the next form
|
|
|
|
|
If you have two forms open and you simply want to move back and forth between them by showing one form at once and then other, you can simply use Show and Hide property of forms...

Create a MDI Form and load your forms and child forms.
Here you can create a navigator to control them

After adding a toolbar to my application, I decided to change the appearance of my toolbar buttons to the more modern "flat" style by setting the toolbar's "Appearance" property to "Flat". But when you do that, you also get another feature which is a "transparent toolbar". The unwanted transparency causes problems with my application. For example, a portion of the bitmap which was previously located underneath the toolbar is seen behind the buttons and moving the window causes the background to become garbled.
So my question(s) are:
- Is there any way to have flat style toolbar buttons without being forced to use a transparent toolbar?
- If the answer to the previous is "no", then is there a way I can force the toolbar background to always be the "control color"?
Thanks -- Greg

If the windows form designer just changes your toolbar's BackColor to Transparent, you can change it again manually in the properties window. I this does not work, you can derive a class from Toolbar and override OnPaintBackground.

Thanks, but:
#1 - There is no BackColor property for the toolBar.
#2 - Surprisingly, an override for OnPaintBackground is *never* called. That surprised me so I tried overriding OnPaint - same thing never gets called. However, an override of OnButtonClick *does* get called.
public class FlatToolBar : System.Windows.Forms.ToolBar
{
public FlatToolBar()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}
protected override void OnPaintBackground(PaintEventArgs pevent)
{
base.OnPaintBackground (pevent);
Graphics gfx = pevent.Graphics;
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle (0, 0, this.Width, this.Height);
Brush brush = new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(0, 255, 0));
gfx.FillRectangle(brush, rect);
brush.Dispose();
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint (e);
}
protected override void OnButtonClick(ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs e)
{
base.OnButtonClick (e);
}
}
}

This is weird indeed. Just tried it out, and found that you're right. Except that the toolbar DOES have a BackColor property, only it's hidden from the properties window and from intellisense. You can use it in code though, but it has no effect (no wonder when there is no PaintBackground event anyway).
No more ideas, I'm afraid. If you're not forced to use .Net 1.1 you may want to try the .Net 2.0 ToolStrip control which is more flexible.

One more idea for a workaraound: put a panel with BackColor=Control on the form where the toolbar should be, and the toolbar inside the panel with Dock=Fill.
|

Yes, I noticed that there is a BackColor property available when overriding ToolBar and setting that seemed to have no effect. I also thought about the background panel idea but haven't tried it.
I'm using VS 2003 and think that may be part of the problem. I have an MSDN subscription so I plan on upgrading to VS 2008. As you mentioned, I see there is a ToolStrip control and I'm hoping that allows me to solve this problem (it seems like it was a bad design to couple the "flat icon" behavior with the "transparent toolbar" behavior so perhaps the ToolStrip control is better about that.)
Also, upgrading from 2003 has some additional benefits such as the standard image lists.
Thanks for the advice and thanks for trying it yourself,
-- Greg

Yes, toolstrips will definitely solve your problem. Not only do ToolStrips provide 3 or 4 different renderers that you can choose, you can also create your own renderers for your ToolStrips/Menustrips/StatusStrips/etc. Example: Custom ToolStrip Renderers[^]

Of all the features that VS2008 will bring, this is your only concern

I'm working on developing a specific application and that was one of the "brick walls" I had encountered.
Another problem I encountered was the inability to unload an unmanaged DLL (I really do have good reason to do this). I worked around the problem in my application in a less than optimal way and I doubt VS 2008 will solve that problem.
But for me the important features are the ones that are relevant to the application at hand.

Hello,
I want to change the color of a full line of a richtextbox (not only some words, the full line including the space in the right after a line-brake). After searching the articles here I found this:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/shadyrichtext.aspx[^]
It claims to do wat i want, but under my winxp system, it doesn't work, it highlights doesn't highlight the space after a line-brake.
Has anyone another suggestion how to accomplish this?
Greetings,

I could find topic on applying skins in applications developed in .Net Framework 3.0 and higher using the WPF. But i need to apply it in .Net Framework 2.0 using C#. Can anyone give me hint or some sort of sample code on how to apply skin.

You can only apply skins relative to skins already installed on the computer, you can set them through the UxTheme WinAPI. As far as creating your own custom skins and applying them, it gets a bit more difficult.
A few options:

Why not just configure the Service to Restart if it stops?

This should get you started. Get the list of running processes, from the list figure out if your app is running, if not fire an email to whom ever you want.
To get list of running processes
using System.Diagnostics;
Process[] runningProcessList = Process.GetProcesses();
foreach(Process process in runningProcessList ){
Console.WriteLine("Process: {0} ID: {1}", process .ProcessName, process.Id);
}
to send an email see this
