Not entirely... keep reading the statement.
You can still use InsertMenu, however, if you do not need any of the extended features of InsertMenuItem.

You need more API functions than "InsertMenu" for Manipulating the System Menu Using C#
So Here you go Simple Class to do this[^]

I am trying to use any DLL in Windows 7 64 bit version. It give me exception "BadImageFormatException was unhandled". The same .dll works fine with Windows XP. The .dll was written in ASM and built using AnyCPU platform.
Here is the call in project:
[DllImport("library.dll")] static extern bool MyFunction(IntPtr hWnd, uint Msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam);
Anyone has come across it, is there a way to resolve it?
Best regards.

Here are some facts relating to 32/64 bit code:
1.
When you build a native-code DLL, you must decide whether you want it to use the 32-bit or the 64-bit architecture, which are both supported by most modern Intel/AMD processors.
2.
When you build a managed code DLL or EXE, you can choose between 32-bit, 64-bit, or automatic ("AnyCPU"). With 32-bit or 64-bit, it is the EXE itself that enforces the execution mode; with "AnyCPU" the EXE will run in 32-bit execution on 32-bit Windows, and in 64-bit execution on 64-bit Windows.
3.
And you can't mix 32-bit and 64-bit code in a single process, Windows simply doesn't allow a mode switch in mid execution, so the DLLs must match the EXE's mode (AnyCPU DLLs are always fine, the other managed ones and all unmanaged ones must match).
Assembly code is native code obviously, and 64-bit and 32-bit assembly source files look quite different, as the programming model is not the same at all. So I guess your "ASM DLL" really is a 32-bit beast, notwithstanding the fact that you created it on a 64-bit Win7 system.
So you could use your 32-bit native DLL, and use it on any 32-bit operating system (with a managed EXE built for x86 or for AnyCPU); or use it on a 64-bit OS with a managed EXE built for x86 (but not for "AnyCPU" as that would start in 64-bit mode and then fail to reference the DLL code).
In practice, you could simply rebuild the app (the EXE part should suffice) for x86, see the project properties. There also is a hack using CORFLAGS, which basically would alter the properties of an existing EXE file (not recommended when you have the source code anyhow).

I tried to build my project as "AnyCPU", x86 and 64 bit, results are always the same: "BadImageFormatException was unhandled".
According to the guideline, I used CORFLAGS. After call: CorFlags.exe library.dll I have:
Error CF008 : The specified file does not have a valid managed header.
|
|
|
|
|
The compiler is expecting a managed library: did you add the library.dll to your project references? You should not do that if the library is native (non managed), the DllImport line should suffice.
|
|
|
|
|
I didn't add my library to references. Before (on x86) I didn't add also and it was OK.
|
|
|
|
|
The error message sometimes can be misleading, in fact it can also be raised if the loaded dll cannot find another library that it depends on. How is the ASM library compiled?
|
|
|
|
|
I think in Visual Studio. I don't know details, it's my friend's library, I didn't create it.
|
|
|
|
|
Where did you put the library?
it should be in a folder that is listed in the PATH environment variable.
As it probably is a 32-bit dll, it should NOT be put in C:\Windows\System32 (which is used only by 64-bit apps), Windows is confusing here, C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (which is used only by 32-bit apps) would be good though. Same applies to all dependencies of your dll file, if any.

hi everyone,
this is my first post here.
i need a help please...
(i'm a beginner in c#)
i have to make two analog clocks with visual studio in c#,wich they must be in a different time zone beside each other,one with our time and the second could be any place in the world.
i made the first analog clock and than i copied it and i made a new class for it,but when i start debugging the second clock comes under the first one and attached to it,how can i move the second clock parallel to the right side of the first clock??
this is the main code wich contain the ode of the first clock:

Hi,
welcome to CodeProject.
A few suggestions for starters: there is a nice message "How to get an answer..." somewhere high up on this page; I suggest you read it carefully. It will tell you to provide a better subject line, to format your code (by using PRE tags), and many other things all helping you to get more answers, resulting in better and earlier feedback.
I did not study all that code (as it isn't in PRE tags, you can still edit the existing message!) however I can tell you this:
1.
it isn't object oriented. You should never copy-paste a bunch of code just because you want two identical or almost identical things somewhere. That most likely gets handled by creating a class (=a set of code and data pertaining to a real-world object (or maybe something more abstract).
2.
Furthermore, an AnalogClock should be a class that inherits from UserControl, so you can turn it into a separate DLL file, making it available to all kinds of WinForms applications, just like the standard Buttons, Labels and all known Controls. I suggest you read up on UserControl, and maybe search for some CodeProject articles on analog clocks while you're at it.
3.
Controls (and other classes) can have Properties, that is how you would specify e.g. their location on a Form. Or their offset from GMT (their time zone).
4.
there are more elegant ways to draw the digits, a for loop driven by a coordinates array comes to mind. Anything would be better than a sequence of
gr.DrawString("12", textFont, solidbrush, 109, 40);
gr.DrawString("11", textFont, solidbrush, 75, 50);
gr.DrawString("10", textFont, solidbrush, 47, 75);
...
5.
When you create drawing objects such as Fonts, Pens, Graphics, etc, you should clean up after yourself (yes, the GC does that also, however it does it late, and graphics objects can be expensive). So check if the class has a Dispose() method, and if it does, use it.
There are two alternatives:
- create those objects once, and keep them around as class members inside your AnalogClock class;
- or use a using statement (read up on it, it is perfect for these kinds of things).
There may be more, however that should get you started in the right direction.

I want to make a wysiwyg program in c#, that is composed from a webbrowser control and a form1.
Inside form1 I want to make some search through files(mostly simple txt files) and if needed some extraction from zipped files. That is the main purpose of that form1 made in c#. In the webbrowser control I want to load txt files,generate menus with those txt files, html pages(local or online). All of these I will edit INSIDE that webcontrol through javascript-html-css on the fly(or edit the source file itself).
Why? because is so easy to make allmost anything in a html format-its more intuitive.
Most of the things that this program should do is for local files management => meaning tutorials, hints,tips, snippets,codes,thoughts,comments,pictures,etc.
That is what I want to do.
Now, my question is like this:
How do I take the content from a javascript variable, and paste it into a c# variable?
(The revers situation when i must copy content from a c# variable, I usually save that content in a txt file,then read that file in a javascript variable.)
thank you.

You don't. Javascript doesn't know anything about C# nor does it even know that it's running inside of a webbrowser control inside your Windows Forms app.

I am totally new on webservice callings.
Can you give me an explicit example? please.

It's not something you do within a few lines of code.
The w3schools website has a nice explanation on Ajax[^], that should show you how to call a webservice with a variable. You'd also need a webserver to host that webservice - that's where the C# code would run.

Hello!
I'm using this code to detect the cpu temperature.
But I get the error: "The type or namespace name 'ManagementClass' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)", But I think I use all usings I need.
I'm using visual C# 2010
This is my code:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Management;
namespace Heater
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ManagementClass processClass = new ManagementClass(@"root\WMI:MSAcpi_ThermalZoneTemperature");
foreach (ManagementObject service in processClass.GetInstances())
{
MessageBox.Show("CPU Temperature: " + service.GetPropertyValue("CurrentTemperature"));
}
}
static decimal ConvertToCelsius(string reading)
{
return (decimal.Parse(reading) / 10 - 273.15m);
}
}
}
I want the output to label1, but that's not important now, because the script isn't working.
If I remove all unused usings, system.management is gone too!
Thanks in advance!
PS: sorry for my worse English :/

I guess you are compiling for "Client profile" and need to compile for the "Full framework".

Ok, but how to that in MS Visual C# 2010?!?
|
|
|
|
|
- Display project properties (from contextual menu)
- Application tab
- Target framework
- Select appropriate target framework.
Client profile is a subset of the full framework that essentially contains classes that are mostly used by regular applications.

as the error suggests, you need two things: a using directive (or a heavy duty keyboard and a lot of time) and a reference.
I think you did the using directive yourself, without having the required reference. My advice is:
1.
Take care of the reference first, use Solution Pane, Add Reference; the MSDN doc on the class of interest tells you which one you need.
2.
Once the ref is in place, Intellisense will guide you trough the using directive.
