I read the propertyGrid tutorial and I am reading the RAD property grid discussion. But I fail to grasp the part of taking one property type and having it viewed as another type. The one in particular is where a property represents a file location (type string) yet exposes the File Open dialog box. I am assuming that this would be done via a TypeConverter which converts the property type from string to a File Open dialog, but I am just lost in the implementation.

If anyone knows of a tutorial or the implementation of a TypeConverter for this I'd greatly appreciate the help!

Thanks

Hint: use your favourite decompiler and look at System.Design.dll Smile | :)

Whoa, leppie!

I searched both of my drives and there is no System.Design.dll installed anywhere!!! So where is that sucker?

Deal with DateTime like a taskmanager would do it?

Oops, never mind. The search engine was not searching system directories. Found it!

Hi,

i had to write something like the task scheduler of windows 2000. Do you have any hints about this issue ? Any source code that can give me a start about how doing something ?

i need task to be daily, weekly, monthly and yearly with start date, week of month and day of week.

how to deal with days, weeks and month, are there enum's ?

The System.Diagnostics namespace is your starting point.

Processes tab : enum existing processes
Applications tab : filter out the Processes tab with those that have a main window handle
Performance tab : use perf counters (Performance Counter class)

Generate an xml file with StringWriter(UTF-8) ??

zoltix17-Mar-03 23:39

Re: Generate an xml file with StringWriter(UTF-8) ??

17-Mar-03 23:39

When I try to generate an xml file with StringWriter, I can’t change the encoding (UTF-16) to UTF-8. This application, having to have a format xml(utf-8) To preserve compatibility with other programs.

Ex
StringWriter s = new StringWriter();
XmlTextWriter tw = new XmlTextWriter(s,Encoding.UTF-8);

Don’t work, I am receive a error message “C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\LicenceTools\site\GenerateXmlTreeView.aspx.cs(58): Argument '1': cannot convert from 'System.IO.StringWriter' to 'System.IO.Stream'”

I would like having "?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?" rather than "?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?"

Could you help me?

Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot. It works..... somebody, send me an others solution which work too

public class StringWriterWithEncoding : StringWriter
{
Encoding encoding;

public StringWriterWithEncoding (Encoding encoding)
{
this.encoding = encoding;
}

public override Encoding Encoding
{
get { return encoding; }
}
}

Then you'd do:

XmlTextWriter = new XmlTextWriter
(new StringWriterWithEncoding (Encoding.UTF8));

I have to admit the StringWriter derived class is a much better approach to the encoding issue. Use it instead of the C-like memory streams I have suggested. Wink | ;)
