I want to create a non-visual component that manipulates the form it is dropped onto. Is there a way to access this form from within the component?

derive your class from Component, then it can appear in the toolbox, but when dropped into the form, appears in that little bar, like when you add an imagelist object (presuming you have vs.net). and can be accessed from the form.

not without telling the component what form it is attached to.
this is because most Components can be used from anywhere, not just forms.
that said, I also found this to be a useful idea, so I made a subclass of Component, FormComponent, which i talked about in this blog entry.
This component has a property which points to its Form, when dragged onto a form by a designer. no code required.

Hello,
Where are the tlbimp.exe and Ildasm.exe utilities located or can be downloaded from? I have done a search of my computer and they do not seem to be installed.
Thanks

Default Installion in
\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\Bin
|

If you have Visual Stuido .NET installed (and used the default path) they are in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\Bin If you don't have Visual Stuido .NET then you need to download the Framework SDK
If you want to use them you can just open up the Visual Studio .NET Command Prompt

Thanks. Found it. However, it wasnt found when I did a search for it.

When I attempt to use custom DLL that was written in Visual Foxpro (works fine in VB6, Foxpro 7, and Delphi 7) in C#, I get an error that cannot convert string to ref object. I tried to use the DLL without running thru tlbimp and with running it thru tlbimp and I get the same results.
If I call MyClass.Myfunction("johndoe", "12345") I see in the intellisense Myfunction(ref obj name, ref obj password).
I thought I read somewhere That I may have to edit this with Ildasm and change it.
????
Thanks.

can it be done in C#? I don't even know if it is a bitwise operation. Any help, I'm new to programming and would like to use the helpful feature.
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_PERFORMANCE =1;
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_STANDARDDEVIATION=2;
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_ARITHMETICMEAN =4;
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_EFFICIENCYINDEX =8;
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_SHARPE =16;
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_VARIANCE =32;
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_ALPHA =64;
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_BETA =128;
const ulong VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_TREYNOR =256;
long value = VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_PERFORMANCE + VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_SHARPE;
/8it throws a compiler error for next line*/
if(value & VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_SHARPE) /* == TRUE */
{
/*DO SOME THING*/
}

You could try the Framework's BitArray class.

You could try this, convert value to a ulong and in your if statement use Convert.ToBoolean () to convert the value & VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_SHARPE to a boolean:
ulong value = VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_PERFORMANCE + VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_SHARPE;
if(Convert.ToBoolean(value & VOLATILITY_DISPLAY_SHARPE))
{
}

I think an enum is better suited for this, after all you are grouping a series of constants that can all be used for the same thing.
Also, in C# a long is 64-bits and ints are 32-bits so you probably won't need a ulong (judging by your code anyway).
Now a little code:
[Flags()]
public enum VolatilityDisplay
{
Performance = 1,
StandardDeviation = 2,
ArithmeticMean = 4,
EfficiencyIndex = 8,
Sharpe = 16,
Variance = 32,
Alpha = 64,
Beta = 128,
Treynor = 256
}Just a quick note about the [Flags()] bit. This is basically telling the framework that the values in this enum can be used in bitwise operations. Now to get on with the rest of your question.
VolatilityDisplay value = VolatilityDisplay.Performance | VolatilityDisplay.Sharpe;
if( (value & VolatilityDisplay.Sharpe) != 0 )
{
}Two important things to note here:
1) When you wish to set two different bits you should use the bitwise-or (|)operator and not addition. The reason is that the addition won't do what you think if the bit is already set.
Take for example the bitvector set to VolatilityDisplay.Performance | VolatilityDisplay.StandardDeviation the integer representation of this is 3. Now you want to make sure that VolatilityDisplay.Performance is set. If you use the addition operator (+) then you are really performing 3 + 1 = 4, which if you look at the meaning of 4 in the list above it comes out as VolatilityDisplay.ArithmeticMean. Now neither of the values you wanted are set and one you didn't want is set.
2) The second part is that unlike C/C++, if statements require whatever you are testing to actually be a bool and not simply a zero/non-zero value. So you have a couple of different options, the one I used above, which is just testing to ensure a non-zero value was returned. The other is the one that someone else suggested which is to use Covert.ToBoolean. Both do pretty much the same thing, so its up to you which you want to use.
Hope that clears some things up for you,
James

Is there any way to change the text of MessageBox buttons?

It can only be changed to the predefined buttons in the MessageBoxButtons enum. Taking a peek at the underlying Win32 MessageBox function it doesn't have that ability either. At least it wasn't apparent from the docs.

Hello all,
I am developing an application, which helps make PDF documents. I have provided a RichTextBox for text entry and I have used my own context menu for this RichTextBox, which allows for changing font, italise/bolden the text etc. Right now I want to figure out a way to get the formatting information of the text, like which portion of the text has what font, if its italicised, boldened, bulleted, underlined etc. If I am right, I will have to parse the RTF and get this information. How do I go about doing this? Are there any easy ways to accomplish the task ? Or is this totally impossible ?
Thanks
Smitha

Parsing the RTF is one way (and definately the fastest way), another would be to use the SelectionStart, SelectionLength and Selected* properties to advance through every character and pull the information you need.
For parsing information, http://www.wotsit.org/search.asp?page=3&s=text[^] there are 3 different standards listed there. I'm not sure which version the RichTextBox creates, but at the most you should only have to worry about parsing what your RichTextBox can produce.

Thanks James. I think I will go for the second one. RTF parsing sounds like a huge task
