That's way too vague.

Did you get an exception? You're not swallowing those, are you?
Checked the EventLog for details?
Does it 'try' to launch the executable, or does it even refuse to load? (Does the mouse-cursor change?)
You mentioned that three frameworks being present, what framework is the project using?
Verified that DEP is off? Right-click the executable and open the properties, might say something like "blocked".

I are Troll Suspicious | :suss:

Hi,
Try installing "ASimpleProjectSetup"
This utility helps Windows display the apps developed in .NET.
You can download it from Microsoft website.
If case you cannot find any link for this, search for the .NET framework setup and you will see a link for "ASimpleProjectSetup" at the bottom of the page.

Please tell me whether this solution works or not.

hi,

I want to bind a bool property of my class to the "Enabled" property of a control, but when I change my bool property, the enabled state of my control isn't changing, here an example

<br />
// bool Property<br />
private bool boolValue = false;<br />
public bool BoolValue<br />
{<br />
    get { return boolValue; }<br />
    set { boolValue = value; }<br />
}<br />
<br />
// binding<br />
button1.DataBindings.Add("Enabled", this, "BoolValue", false, DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged);<br />
<br />
// later in code<br />
BoolValue = true;<br />
// enabled state of my control isn't changing<br />

How can I solve this problem?

Regards,
timm

The "DataSourceUpdateMode.OnPropertyChanged" is a flag that sends button1's "Enabled" value to the current record's "BoolValue" field.
It does not tell the datasource to send updates to the control.

What you need to do is force the binding context of the button to update it's index. This will cause: button1 to read the changed value.

The mind is like a parachute. It doesn’t work unless it’s open.

You'll need to implement the OnBoolValueChanged event or OnPropertyChanged after the boolValue = value assignment.

Personally I prefer the OnXXXChanged because I'd rather not write a gigantic switch in the OnPropertyChanged handler.

Dataset and Crystal Reports

Hi
I am using dataset control for crystal reports inside the dataset i type tables and then pass it to thte crystal report.
Using this way i have a feeling that if i have 300 reports the dataset control will definately become heavy and the application will get slow.
My question is:

1) Is there any other way of doing it using untyped data set without using the typed dataset?
2) Is there a way i can use it without a dataset control?

Regards

You can "pull" data directly from source without using needing to use dataset.

You should only passing the datatables that are needed for each report, so whether 3 or 300 reports it should not matter, unless you are talking about generating 300 reports all at once.

you are right but what i want to do here is:

1) Not to use the dataset control in which i create tables for each report.

if i create a datatable it is not accepting to through values in the crystalreport datasource.
However all the columns are the same on both sides.

Hiding a Button in a DataGridView

I have a DataGridView in a windows form that I need to be able to make the datagridviewbutton visible or invisible depending on the value of another column. I can not figure out how to make this happen when I bind the datatable to the datagridview.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

John

For that you need to use RowDataBound event. Try following code.

protected void MyDataGrid_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)  
{  
   if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)  
   {  
      if (condition)  
      {  
          (e.Row.FindControl("buttonid") as Button).Enabled = false;  
      }  
   }  
}

hi man,

this could be a possible solution but never tested..
In the CellValueChanged event you have to check your specified cell against your condition and than try:

<br />
dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[buttonCell].ReadOnly = true;<br />

<br />
dataGridView1.Rows[rowIndex].Cells[buttonCell].Frozen = true;<br />

hope i could help Smile | :)

T9 predictive text in Windows Forms

Hey - we're looking at trying to implement a T9-based predictive text capability (like on your cell phone/PDA) into our Windows forms application (this is running on a standard Windows/embedded environment, NOT on a smart phone). Has anyone seen or worked with anything like this in the past?

Cheers,
Chris

For that you need to do following.

1. Maintain one dictionary which will serve as base for auto suggestion.
2. Bind that dictionary with your textbox.
3. Track keypress event of your textbox and suggest world if it is starting
from the character user enters.

That's All.

Thanks for the reply. However, I'm not sure if you're following one of the key points I was trying to accomplish - T9. I'm not working by standard letter entry, but rather by T9 entry (or the newer XT9). In the very least this would involve adding the equivalent T9 values for each word in the dictionary, but it still wouldn't account for word usage/popularity. Obviously there are ways that this can be coded completely from scratch, but I wanted to first see if anyone was doing something similar using an already establish method, API, etc.

Thanks again.

Yes definitely possible, though probably not entirely in .NET, and don't think there are API beside the standard Win32 API, and you got to code most of the libraries.

You'll need a light and efficient database for the dictionary, an algorithm to retrieve the words fast, an algorithm to account for the most recent used words, adding and removing words from the dictionary.

You'll need some way to hook the keypress, and sending the character or control characters (backspace, etc) to the control.

Setting the size of the Windows Media Player DRM license window

Not T9, but been playing with something similar. Kinda started with a Wiktionary-download, gives you a decent dictionary. Once that was in place, started fetching websites to do a statistical analysis.

Read a few sites in a loop (of the correct target-audience) and mark how often a word follows the previous word. Thus resulted in a crash of my machine Smile | :)

Filtered out all noise-words for the analysis, as there's a lot of words that might follow the word "this". The remark on the target-audience would be important because "this" often has a different meaning on the CodeProject-site than in normal conversation.

..and that's when I stopped playing with it, my harddisk isn't that large. You wouldn't need the complete resultset to give decent options as a prediction; only the top 5000 or so. Still, sounds like a lot of work, and the method that I described here is probably one of the less efficient ways to do it.

I'm trying to do something that should be simple. We have a DRM encripted WMV file, and we need to control the size of the activation window that comes up while the license is being verified. I've seen files that do this, but we haven't been able to find a way. Apparently this is set by Windows Media Player. How do we tell WMP what size window we want?
