Hi leppie,
Thanks for your reply, I think I know enough about the drawing stuff. The only thing left is assigning the right cursors, but I'll try some things myself first. Still, any comments on assigning the cursors are welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Joost

Hi Joost,
I have not tried it that way. But do post about it, if you succeed assigning cursors to the selection. Good luck!

Hello,
does anyone know how to align the Pen-Object correctly when drawing lines with the DrawLine() - Methode of the Graphics-Namespace?
The problem is, that when i draw a line with a width of e.g. 7 pixels from Point (0,10) to Point (100,10) the topmost/leftmost painted pixel is at (0,7) instead of (0,10). That is because the Pen-Object is positioned at the center of the line that should be drawn. But this behavior is bad when drawing borders of e.g. controls.
The PenAlignment-Property of the Pen-Object doesn't seem to work here, though it works with the DrawRectangle()-Methode. If i paint a rectangle with the startcorner at (0,10) and i set the PenAlignment to "Inset", the topmost/leftmost paintet pixel is at the "correct" location of (0,10).
Does anyone here know how to solve this problem?
Greetings
Armin

Line accuracy is troublesome when working in different mapping modes. Lines work fine when defining them in MM_TEXT (without scaling) but when using modes like MM_HIMETRIC and incorporating scaling, the MFC lines always insist on having the same screen coordinate width regardless of where they translate to from the mapping mode. Alignment problems because of this behaviour are most evident with endcaps when aligning horizontal and vertical lines. At different scales, a little overhang or underhang becomes evident. Consistency at all scales is nearly impossible to achieve.
Your question concerning the alignment can be approached by taking the line and offsetting it but you will find alignment with MFC Rectangles and Circles becomes problematic (especially with borders). I spent quite a few months addressing this issue and studying how other applications approach alignment and found that there are many schools of thought, all having pro's and con's.
When you need to leftalign and rightalign bottomalign and topalign geometric shapes, you will find that line thickness and your choice of righthanded, centered, and lefthanded lines complicate the process and will require some modifications to coordinates you feed to the drawing commands. I believe there are no "One size fits all" drawing routines that will accomodate every programmers needs. The MFC drawing commands are a good place to start but I would recommend calling those functions from within your own drawing functions that take your drawing approach into consideration.

Anyone had a look at COM+ from .NET using the Enterprise Services namspace?
I've been having a look, but when I override some of the functions in the ServicedComponent class (Construct & CanBePooled) from which I have to derive my new managed COM+ component, the compiler complains.
[Transaction(TransactionOption.Required)]
public class BusinessObject : ServicedComponent
{
public BusinessObject()
{
}
protected internal override bool CanBePooled()
{
return false;
}
protected internal override void Construct(string s)
{
}
public void DoWork()
{
ContextUtil.DeactivateOnReturn = true;
ContextUtil.MyTransactionVote = TransactionVote.Abort;
ContextUtil.MyTransactionVote = TransactionVote.Commit;
}
}
I've been looking at this example.on MSDN, but it uses the beta edition of VS.NET, and does not compile.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/10/complus/default.aspx[^]
I managed to get the above compling by manually ammending the access modifiers, but it does not seem very slick, when you have the IDE overide a member, and create the code, to find it does not compile.
Changing to
protected override void Construct(string s)
{
}
works, but as I said not very slick. If this is the mest MS can do, then not much hope. .NET will only be of any use to code monkeys.

Hi, I need to store a word document in MSSQL database (in image field) from C# windows application!
How can I do it? I need to create some kind of binary readers or streams to get that file and then store it or I do not know?

Check out ADO.NET and BLOB fields on MSDN. BLOB standing for - binary large objects.
If your not familiar with ADO or ADO.NET.
You need to open a database connection, and then a Recordset (for ADO), or a DataAdapter and a DataSet for ADO.NET.
In ADO (native COM objects), an ADODB.Recorset object can be used to both open a table and a append or update records.
In ADO.NET this functionality is split between the DataAdapter (For speaking to the DB) and the DataSet objects (for programatically examining the data off line).
Good luck.
If your new use the ADO library, and the Recordset.Field.AppendChunk & GetChunk methods to load and extract binary data into an image field.

 As you know, double clicking a word document (for example) will open MS Word and then open that document. If the document has no file associated to it, “open with” window will appear.
My question, is there a way in C# to imitate (or invoke) such functionality?

I found a very nice mail server / client written entirely in C# (for .net sp2) with complete and well documented source code.
Has every component that goes into a complete mail server and client applications including MIME attachment handling, DNS, FTP, ICMP etc etc all broken separately for easy usage in other applications. The author states it's freeware.
I found it here originally:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Code/2002/Nov/SMTPPOP3MailServer.asp[^]
But the most up to date version is on the author's site here:
http://www.lumisoft.ee/lsWWW/ENG/Products/Mail_Server/mail_index_eng.aspx?type=info[^]
Someone should convince them to post it to CodeProject, it's definitely worthy and illustrates many different useful concepts beyond the value of the code itself.

I've been using the Lumisoft mail server for over 6 months in a production environment using SqlServer2K as the mail store. It has been rock solid and is very simple to configure - highly recommended!

Actually since I posted this, I found several problems with it related to emails with attachments and it became unworkable in our business environment.
Everything was there and in general it worked fine at the time. It just needed to be more "fleshed out" to handle the variety of attachments, html email and globally used date formats correctly. (there was something else but I can't recall exactly what but it was something that would be minor for most but was a major problem for us with the business app I wanted to use it in)
I was going to extend it but ran out of time and had to opt for a commercial component instead (Chilkat).
I still think it's a very nicely written app and a good example of what you can do in C# with a real world application.
I'm curious if you have had any problems with attachments or if they have updated it since March 2003?

I am looking for a good way to maintain a clean separation between the GUI, the business objects and the persistence mechanism. It seem as though the forms/asp environment is geared to directly couple the DB with fields on a form. In general, I try to have my GUIs stay dumb and only know about the underlying business objects. Then the business objects either know how to persist themselves, or what to use for a persistence mechanism.
What's the C# / dotNet best practice for keeping these layers distinct?
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi,
In my program I need after doing some job to be able to shut down the system.
So I wrote that code:
public event SessionEndedEventHandler ShutDown;
protected virtual void OnShutDown(SessionEndedEventArgs e)
{
ShutDown(this,e);
}
and then I wanted on a button click to raise the event:
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
OnShutDown(new SessionEndedEventArgs(SessionEndReasons.SystemShutdown));
}
But I always get System.NullReferenceException
Anyone has an idea how to solve this problem ?
Thanx in advance
Cheers,
Gogou

Hi,
I think that OnShutDown should check that there is a handler for the event, i.e. the code should be:
if (ShutDown != null) ShutDown(this, e);

Hi, all:
I have a master-detail relationship in my MS Access DB. In my WinForm application, I also created same Master-Detail relationship in my dataset. When I delete a row in my datagrid, the entries in the detail table is also deleted in the dataset due to the relationship. After an user finishs editing the data, I call daMaster.Update and then daDetail.Update. I got the DBConcurrencyException when trying to update the detail table. I think the reason is as following: when the master table is updated, it deletes the row marked with "Deleted". Since the relationship is setup in the MS Access DB, it deletes the entries in the detail table of Access DB. When the second Update is called, the record is gone and exception is thrown.
How do I fix this problem? I can not change the order of update, otherwise it will break the new entries ( must exist in the Master table first ). I guess that if I take all the relationship out in the MS Access DB, it will work fine, but I think that probably is not good thing to do.
Please help. Thanks in advance.

Has anyone managed to use GetNativeVariantForObject successfully, I can't make it happen.
If you have some small bit of code to share, that would be wonderful.

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
