Publishing Update problem

Hi
I have used Visual Studio 2010 Express to develop a Windows application. I have published the program and the users install it from a shared location on a central computer. I have also done several updates that I have published without any problems. When the users run the program it first checks for updates and so far it has always picked up if there was an update and installed it.

The program is installed from a folder '\\MyServer\EPR\Installation\Install\' and the update location is '\\MyServer\EPR\Installation\Updates\'.

This morning I tried to roll out a new update. I copied the published files to the Updates folder as I have always done, but when I ran the application it checked for updates, but then it still ran the old version and did not install the new version.
The old version is 4.0.3.1 and the new version is 4.0.4.0.

Any ideas on what the problem can be?

At this stage my morning has been a complete waste and I feel very frustrated.

Regards.

Kobus

Winforms or webform - you do not say.

Listview does not accept components you need to use a datagridview (assuming winform)

If you working with windows forms you can check the XPTable article here in codeproject. It can fit you requirements.

If not you can create your own Listview, since default one is not editable.

Toggling UI Elements (ToolStrip and MenuStrip Items and the Like)

Matt U.29-Jul-10 16:53

Hi, fellow CodeProject members. Smile | :)

I'm writing an application that contains a menu strip and a tool strip. The main application window is an MDI Container and on the left-hand side of the window is a splitter with a TreeView control. Depending on the TreeView's selected node I would like to enable/disable certain tool strip and menu strip items. What is the best way to go about doing so?

I currently do something like this:

private void mainTreeView_AfterSelect(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)
{
    if (mainTreeView.SelectedNode == null) return;    // No selection

    TreeNode selectedNode = mainTreeView.SelectedNode;

    switch (selectedNode.Level)
    {
        case 0:    // Root node
            // Toggle the 'Enabled' state of eight items total (combination of ToolStrip and MenuStrip items)
            // ...
            break;
        case 1:    // Child node (only goes Root->Child at the moment; may expand allowed depth later on but not right now)
            if (selectedNode.Parent.Name == "RootNode1")
            {
                // Toggle items based on child of RootNode1
                // ...
            }
            else if (selectedNode.Parent.Name == "RootNode2")
            {
                // Toggle items differently from RootNode1
                // ...
            }
            break;
    }
}
}

There are currently eight items total for which I would like to toggle depending on the TreeView selection. I am only wanting to toggle the 'Enabled' state for the items. That's because, for example, root node 1 is selected so the user can only select "New Item...". Or if a child of root node 1 is selected then the user can choose "New Item...", "Edit Item..." or "Delete Item...". And root node 2 holds a different type of item so root node 1 items shouldn't be enabled in that case.

Is there a different way to go about this altogether? Do I have it all (or partially) incorrect? Or should I simply create a method for each case, such as "void ToggleRootNodeItems(int OneOrTwo)" and "void ToggleChildNodeItems(int ParentIsRootOneOrTwo)"?

I hope I explained my question fully. If you need more information I can provide you with whatever you need. Thanks much!

Using a switch or creating a different method for each node are valid ways to do it.

My preferred method in this case would be to use the Tag property of each TreeNode to store a List of ToolStripItems that should be enabled when that node is selected. When the nodes are created (or in the form constructor, whichever is applicable) initialize the Lists. Then in the selection change handler disable everything, then cycle through the list of ToolStripItems for the selected node and re-enable each one.

Like this:

internal MyConstructor()
{
	// init the list of items for root node 1
	List<ToolStripItem> items = new List<ToolStripItem>();
	items.Add(newItemButton);
	items.Add(editButton);
	// add the rest of the items that should be enabled
	rootNode1.Tag = items;
	
	// init the list of items for root node 2
	items = new List<ToolStripItem>();
	items.Add(deleteItemButton);
	items.Add(crashTheComputerButton);
	// add the rest of the items that should be enabled
	rootNode2.Tag = items;
	
	// init the list of items for etc
	// . . .
}

private void mainTreeView_AfterSelect(object sender, TreeViewEventArgs e)
{
	if (mainTreeView.SelectedNode == null) return;    // No selection

	TreeNode selectedNode = mainTreeView.SelectedNode;

	foreach(ToolStripItem item in /* the entire collection of toggle-able ToolStripItems */)
	{
		item.Enabled = false;
	}
	
	List<ToolStripItem> applicableItems = selectedNode.Tag as List<ToolStripItem>;
	if (applicableItems == null)
	{
		return;
	}
	
	foreach(ToolStripItem item in applicableItems)
	{
		item.Enabled = true;
	}
}

Alright, after reading your post and researching this a little bit, I finally implemented the code. I'll tell you, it looks 10x cleaner. LoL. Another thing I noticed is that when I ran the Code Metrics (VS2010) before, the "Maintainability Index" for that particular form was around 46 or 48 I believe. After changing to the method you described it went up to 55. I still have a few areas that I need to break into separate methods, which I believe may bring it up some more.

Thanks a lot for the help. Smile | :)

NHibernate CreateSqlQuery and addEntity

Matt Cavanagh29-Jul-10 16:22

Matt Cavanagh

29-Jul-10 16:22

This seems like a stupidly simple request to me, but for some reason I cannot get it to work:

The hibernate manual says this:

String sql = "SELECT ID as {c.id}, NAME as {c.name}, " +<br />
       "BIRTHDATE as {c.birthDate}, MOTHER_ID as {c.mother}, {mother.*} " +<br />
      "FROM CAT_LOG c, CAT_LOG m WHERE {c.mother} = c.ID";<br />
    List loggedCats = sess.createSQLQuery(sql)<br />
      .addEntity("cat", Cat.class)<br />
      .addEntity("mother", Cat.class).list()

Now, what I have is basically the same. I am return two of the same type per row. I am doing a select something like this:

SELECT {ctrl1.*}, {ctrl2.*} FROM tableA AS A<br />
                                                LEFT JOIN tableB AS ctrl1 ON (A.controlID = ctrl1.controlID AND ctrl1.controlOptionType = ? AND ctrl1.controlOptionValue = ?)<br />
                                                LEFT JOIN tableB AS ctrl2 ON (A.controlID = ctrl2.controlID AND ctrl2.controlOptionType = ? AND ctrl2.controlOptionValue = ?)

And then I addEntity("ctrl1", typeof(mycontrolclass) and addEntity("ctrl1", typeof(mycontrolclass)

Which seems exactly the same to me as their example. But I get this exception: "Could not execute query" and the inner exception is "Could not find specified column in results". If I copy the sql in the exception(to which it has added "AS ctrl1_1_3_3_" etc) it works fine.

Thanks.

Using RasGetEntryProperties in .NET CF

It seems that I can't get this right... I'm using the following signature:

[DllImport("coredll.dll")]
        private extern static uint RasGetEntryProperties(string lpszPhoneBook, string szEntry, ref RASENTRY lpbEntry,

Calling it with the following parameters:

However, whenever this is called, an error pops up on my device telling me there has been a native exception, without much detail.

Hi guys. I am having a problem with the above. I am trying to update the changes made to the gridview back to the database but for some reason I get a "Data Type mismatch in criteria expression" OleDbException. I have tried a number of updates but nothing seems to work. Below is the code I am using. I have delete section which works fine. Just the Edit portion that doesn't work. Can somebody please advise what I am missing here?

private void dataGridView1_CellContentClick(object sender, DataGridViewCellEventArgs e)
{
    int currentRow = int.Parse(e.RowIndex.ToString());
    int rowint = 0;
    string sql = "SELECT TimesheetDetailID, EmployeeID, TSProjectCodeID, TimeSheetDate, HoursWorked, TaskCode, Notes from tblTimesheetDetails WHERE TimesheetDetailID ='" + rowint + "'";

    string projcode = dataGridView1[2, currentRow].Value.ToString();
    string timedate = Convert.ToString(dataGridView1[3, currentRow].Value.ToString());
    double hrs = Convert.ToDouble(string.Format("{0:f}", (dataGridView1[4, currentRow].Value.ToString())));

    }
    catch (Exception ex)

    if (dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex] == deleteButton && currentRow >= 0)

                dataTable.Rows[rowint]["HoursWorked"] = hrs;
                dataTable.Rows[rowint]["Notes"] = notes;
                dataTable.AcceptChanges();
                da.Update(dataTable);
            }
        }

You are passing all your criteria as strings, I suspect the date format is incompatible with the database.

Set a break point on conn.open() and inspect the string, try and execute the string in SSMS.

Hi Mycroft. Sorry for taking this long to reply. I have actualy set the DateColumn in the DB to a string column and I am passing a string. I have now tried numerous things and it just won't work. I have now decided to abandon the save changes from the datagrid and just to delete the row and the users can retype. I know it is not the best thing to do but if I can't et it working then I am stuck with doing that.
