Thanks for the quick reply BobJanova!
Ok, but besides importing charts or pictures, I just want to import cell formats of the excel sheet. as i said yesterday, most of the cells in the excel sheets are merged to make the data organized in some structure. so while i import it to the DataGridView with out any other pictures or charts, it does not have the same look as it is in the excel sheet. any suggestion please? and if datagridview doesn't allow the pictures thing what else shall i use other than the datagridview? Thank u again!

Bob Janova's answer nailed it for you; the only other alternative would be to pay big buck$ for a 3rd. party .NET control that can duplicate all of Excel's (innumerable ?) presentation options ... and good luck with that !

Is there anyway to create a executable file that support mac ?

I know there are few third party softwares that can help running exe files on mac. But is there any direct way?

Thanks

Do you count Mono? That's the only way to get C#/.Net applications to run on Unix variants (which includes Mac OS).

mono though does not cover all the things that .net does. So bare in mind you might have to do some things on your own whereas at .net its already been done.

Mono covers pretty much anything you'd actually want to use. (See here[^].) The only major omissions are WPF and Entity Framework.

This because you are doing it in a function that would be called for every cell and hence the reversal on all values for all columns

Displaying a 32bit bitmap with Alpha channel transparency

Hi,

I want to display(on a Form) a 32bit bitmap with Alpha channel transparency, so thet the transparency is honoured.

I have tried a Picture control but it ignores the Alpha channel.

Any ideas?

Thanks - John

What format is the image? As far as I'm aware a bitmap doesn't support the alpha channel in Windows, but you would rather manage it using a chroma key (that's where you choose one colour as being transparent). If it is a bitmap, then you might want to try out the code sample here[^]

If you are using a PNG (for instance), then just set the appropriate PixelFormat, i.e. PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb;

Thanks Pete,

The image format is 32bit bmp. But I could easly change it to png using Gimp.
Where does PixelFormat come from?
I checked Image.PixelFormat on msdn...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/query/dev10.query?appId=Dev10IDEF1&l=EN-US&k=k(SYSTEM.DRAWING.IMAGE.PIXELFORMAT);k(TargetFrameworkMoniker-%22.NETFRAMEWORK%2cVERSION%3dV4.0%22);k(DevLang-CSHARP)&rd=true[^]

All it does is show how to call ToString() on it (why do they bother).

Image.PixelFormat

Has no Set method it can only be read.

Just FYI, 32bit BMP is almost universally unsupported. Even by image manipulation programs.

Yeh, I see what you mean.
You would think by now that there would be a standard way of handling transparency, but ther isn't. its all over the place, Alpha channels, transparency masks of every posible value ever known, what a can of worms it is.

Transparency is a lot easier in WPF than in Windows Forms, would it be possible to convert the program to WPF?

I'm glad to see there are optimists still afloat ! Smile | :)

imho, using PNG's with transparency has become a standard: they work in .NET, they work on the web.

Since when? Bitmaps (BMP) have supported the alpha channel for probably close to a decade or more.

Note the careful use of Windows here - it's not the problem with Bitmaps, it's a problem with Windows.

One way to do this is to use WMI, which involves adding a reference to System.Management. This is what your code might look like:

public void StartRemoteProcess(string address, string processName, string userName, string password)
{
  object[] processes = { processName };
  ConnectionOptions connection = new ConnectionOptions{ Username = userName, Password = password };
  ManagementScope scope = new ManagementScope(string.Format(@"\\{0}\root\cimv2", address), connection);
  using (ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass(scope, new ManagementPath("Win32_Process"),
    new ObjectGetOptions()))
  {
    mc.InvokeMethod("Create", processes);
  }
}

You cannot launch an interactive process on a remote machine. This is for security reasons. Think about it.

The process will launch, IF you have admin rights to the target machine, but the user on the remote machine will not be able to see or use it.
