Not in applications without UI's...
The simple answer is that DLL's should never try to make messageboxes unless they are part of the UI. Classes that create errors like that should bubble the error up to a UI or logging component using mechanisms like "throw". That way the application can decide how to alert the user, whether through UI pop-ups, log files, etc.
I've also found it very useful to create an application settings file and store error text information in there, rather than hard code error strings in the application. This allows me to ensure that the grammar, punctuation, spelling, and format of errors are all the same throughout the application. It also makes it very easy to edit particular errors if your test team says that the text is incorrect or vague, you just look in the setting file instead of combing through thousands of lines of code to find every instance.

If this does not work, then you must import the Windows.Forms dll into your dll, or you need using Windows.Forms at the top of your class. Intellisense will show you the namespace you need if you hover the mouse over the end of the statement that has the error. You're really better off throwing an exception tho and letting your presentation layer decide how to deal with it. You can use Application.Current.MainWindow to specific a parent to the messagebox anywhere inside your windows forms app.

Hello friends,
I have a program to connect to url using HttpWebRequest object and download a file from that url.
I have set
httpwebRequest.Proxy = null;
Question: In my application, no setting field available for to define the specific proxy settings - so, does the my programming foresee to use by default the internet explorer proxy setting?
or are there any other ways to bypass the proxy?
Thank You

I believe you need \\Desktop1, to create a network path.

Well, that's a little concerning. If you can't work out a connection string, I'd be worried about your ability to do C# AND SQL.

I tried evrythng....
but its not connecting...
If u knows y don't u mention the connection string.....

Like I said, it's plain that programming is probably beyond you.
You can have a connection string to a local file, so you need to start your connection string with \\ to show it's a network path. Like I said.
If you can see the machine over the network, then your issue is the connection string, perhaps the user the program runs under, or a combination of the two.

You need to specify the database name as well. Check out ConnectionStrings.com to see all kinds of connection strings.

How to place an image in the range (cells[5,1],cell[10,5]) of excel? and how to make it in the center of the range?
thanks!

I hate Excel!
Don't you place the image in the value of Cell(5,1)
I would select the range
Set the vertical and horizontal alignment
Merge the cells
Then add the image
The above is a guess but it seems reasonable.

I need to use an incremental counter, by means of retrieving and updating a value stored in a text file
I know how to use the StreamWriter and the StreamReader classes but what I need to do is to read an int value from a text file, then increment the value by one and write it back to the file.
Is there a way to place a lock in the file while doing both operations? The reason for that is to avoid multiple concurency.
Also, how can the file be checked if it is locked?
Thanks,
CBenac

If all interested parties are instances of the same app which you develop, then you could base the protection on the FileShare parameter in File.Open(); this might fail if remote access and/or foreign file systems are involved. A few simple tests could be in order.
If all interested parties are threads in a single app, then you wouldn't need a file, just use Interlocked.Increment() on some variable. If need be, save/restore the value to/from a file on app exit/start.

Luc Pattyn,
The Interlocked.Increment() method is exactly what I need for the application.
Thanks so much for your sugestion!

You're welcome.
May I suggest next time you explain your problem at a higher, more functional level. Apparently the file was a detour, and my gamble for interthread synchronization happened to hit the spot.

Hello,
I have an odd problem. I have a couple of UserControls in my project, and a bunch of instances of them on my Form (with TabPages and other containers to avoid too much clutter). For the most part everything has been fine, but today I tried to modify the definition of one of the UserControls, and whenever I make that control visible on the form (i.e. switch to the TabPage containing it), I can only select controls on my Form from the drop-down list in the Properties page. If I try to click on the control in the designer, the Properties page does not update to show the selection. If I make any changes in the Properties page, those changes affect the last control that was properly selected. If I switch to a different TabPage or hide the control, then everything works fine again.
All I have done to the UserControl definition is remove some properties that I don't need anymore and add a couple of new ones. All the references in my project have been updated and it compiles just fine.
Any ideas? An hour or so of Googling has failed me today (unless my keywords aren't quite right). I've already tried restarting Visual Studio, restarting my computer, reverting to previous versions of the project (previous versions work until I start messing with the control definition), and someone had suggested deleting the contents of C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Visual Studio\versionNumber.
I am using VS2005 on XP Pro SP2.
Thanks,
Dybs.

Im not sure if this is bad programming or anything of the kind. But I need to be able to save a property of an object without know what the name of the property will be before hand.
I have an object: objUser, object user might have properties name, surname and age.
So I want to be able to say:
objUser.["Name"] = "Philip";
or
string sProperty = "Name";
objUser.[sProperty] = "Philip;
How do I invoke such a string as a property? (if explained correctly)...
Any help would be appreciated.

google for .NET reflection, and be warned it will be more complex than what you are hoping for.

Is this a class that you are designing? Or does it already exist and you can't change it?
If you are creating the class, you could design that in, perhaps by wrapping a Dictionary and providing an indexer rather than defining actual properties.

It is a class we made so I have access..Thanks will try that.
I can remember in old VB you could place a string in square brackets and it would convert it to a property...
