ah I see what you are trying to do now - does the object host the IDispatch interface? best way would be to see if you can manipulate it via javascript on any exposed methods / properties.
Now this is really a COM question not a .NET one - is it possible to cast the interface you get from the query of IHtmlElement castable (bad english I know) into a .NET object - Sorry but there is no guarantee of that as there is no guaranteee in C that an interface can be cast into the supporting object (proxies, tear off interfaces etc and the like)
Have you come across the samples that shows how to host a .NET control in a webbrowser? see the authpring custom controls at http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/aspplus/[^]. I can't remember if any of these uses javascript to manipulate the contents
I know this doesn't answer your question but it leads us on a road to find an answer.
Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers.
But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong

"does the object host the IDispatch interface?" Man, you are probably one of those who got into the crowd of MSFT beleivers that CLR has nothing to do with COM!!!... Sure -- each object and type in CLR hosts IDispatch -- it's just hidden by implementation, but could be exposed at anytime...
From what you are writing I understand you are "language" guy -- casting or not casting -- that something what language allows you to do and not really how it's implemented and if implementation allows you to do that, even if language does not -- then there must be some "trick" to be performed...
As to my original question -- forget it -- I have found an aswer...
About sample -- listen: I'm not reading samples -- I'm usually writing them -- just very few I'm showing to the crowd...
My point was:
.NET is great and no question server site programming could be speed up and improved;
as to the client -- I'm not so sure...
Also:
I'm really pissed of by so many young ".NET GURUS" who invented CLR and who are so proud of themselves and etc... They are claiming that this is the best environment and etc, and so on.... While in reality: no questions they performed nice job in Object Data definition and implementation of endless number of namespaces and componentrs, while I would say very poor one and almost nothing in functional logic...
Just few examples:
1. During 11+ years of COM, standard property browser is not part of OS, however only after 2 years of .NET it is ==> confirms that they did a good job on implementation front, but very poor on COM -- Right???;
2. About poor functional logic: my previous message about stomach problem at night was not an accident -- those hyped "Delegates" -- this is just pure wrong -- Client Doesn't have to subscrive for an event at least on Programming level -- Even if he doesn't -- he still should be notified(1) -- and second -- Ideal Event implementation shouldn't require me as a programmer to write even 1 line of extra code, and of course shouldn't require me to "call base class, or things will not work"... As well as I shouldn't check for delegates to be not null -- and etc., etc., etc....
I'm not proposing any implementation here -- I'm just pointing the fact that CLR implementation is not the best...
3. Exposing WinForm Controls as an ActiveX Controls was dropped -- why???... Somebody was just LAZY -- you have reflection, so you can generate TypeLibrary on the fly -- they are saying that Each Event has different interface, therefore one [default, source] can't be generated -- wrong -- this is just implementation detail -- create an extra object that will advice real .NET component on all outgoing interfaces, collect them in one, create collective type library and send it back to subscriber as one source both for events and collected type library -- why this simple thing han't been done???...
Anyway: the real trouble is -- stupid middle and high level managers are planning to move there developments to new CLR platform -- that's fine for companies that are just starting new developments... This is absolutely stupid for owners of currently successfull client site unmanaged systems... Unfortunately only low level programmers understand this... But it's killing very good products...
Still waitingg for MSFT that is giving advices to those "stupid managers" --to see at least one container application like Excel and/or Word and/or IE written completely as managed!!!....
Any scenario is fine with me though... The more mess MSFT creates the more job for me...hehehehe...
Regards  ;P;)

fine so - you found an answer - mind sharing it with us are you one of those take take take and never give back people

Anonymous, are you able to read????...
I thought I gave an answer:
>> Assuming:
1. I have WinForm Control ("UserControl1") sitting on HTML page, let's assume his name on HTML layout is "ctrl";
2. I have property of that control named "Object" that has set method;
3. My HTML script does the following:
ctrl.Object = ctrl <<<<====!!!!
I'm setting Object property back to the value of "this" on the site of the control......
<<
In my next message I gave an answer:
>>
You should use:
ctrl.Object = ctrl.object <=== Check "ctrl.object" here, instead of just "ctrl"...
Now:
"ctrl" is IHtmlObject wrapper created by IE around real .NET IDispatch, while:
"ctrl.object" is IDispatch of an Object itsel (doesn't have to be .NET BTW)...
As to me never giving back -- maybe... But I never take either... ;);P

Okay I see where you coming from but...
Originally you seemed to be accessing your code from .NET and now you seem to be to just doing it via javascript. Is this the case are you still trying to turn your IHTMLElement into the original object or are you just sticking with the exposed IDispatch

Ok, you solved your own problem before the gurus. Sounds like you are more interested in showing others how smart you really are.  Don't get me wrong, we need more people like you. If you post your code, ideas, observations, and criticism (of microsoft) as articles, it will be more interesting.

"Don't get me wrong, we need more people like you"...
And who the heck are YOU???!!!
Why do I need to criticise MSFT???!!! It's doing it's best providing me an my family with "bread and butter"!!!...
What I'm criticising -- middle and top level management of other companies, that are very fast in catching next hype in order to preserve there position in hierarchy -- those guys are really "empty" and the only reason for there existance is mess they are creating as well as the only ability to play golf and drink!!!...
As to technical issues -- .NET is great, except because it is so, it's pretty simple to implement simple tasks, while difficult to perform and/or have knowledge on how to implemet difficult/not ordinary ones...
That's it...

I am Anonymous101. If you think the name doesn't give enough information, I could change it to something like Anonymous1960.

Looking at the number of exclamation marks, it seems that you have more anger in your chest than a suicide bomber. Why? Let me guess, you think .NET has made programming too easy and therefore takes some of the privileges away to smart guys like you, right?
Either your confidence or your skill is overrated.

Hi,

I've not yet started working on .NET so just want to clarify a primary concept about .NET by asking question here.
Friends, in programming with Visual C++ 6, we deal directly Windows Operating systems API. For example consider Winsock API available with operating system. Whenever there is a need to write an application that connects to other systems on a network, we use Winsock API functions to do so. Microsoft made our life easy by encapsulating various Winsock API calls in MFC classes. These MFC socket classes do nothing more than making our life easy. These classes are just the wrapper around same Winsock API functions that we were using before.
I like to ask you the role of .NET in this case. In .NET there are also Socket classes which according to many people are much better than MFC socket classes. Now what is the role of .NET in this case. Here is my question:
Is the role of .NET socket classes same as that of MFC. I mean are .NET classes internally calling the same native Operating system APIs just like MFC ??
|
|
|
|
|
Most likely yes. In most cases, the .NET Base Class Library uses the same API's that you would use in C++.

Yes, but they have a much more modern design, and are much easier to write. The design goal seemed to be "the user of these classes should only need to get into detail if he needs to get into detail".

Hi!
i think i have a problem with .net framework. There is a resourceviewer called reflector. whenn i start it i get an errormassage:
the following assembly name can't be resolved automatically:
System.Windows.Forms.resources, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=de-DE, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
please select the assembly file manually.
i reinstalled the framework sdk and the framework redist (both v 1.1). but the error is still comming.
what's wrong? please help.

It appears to a cultural problem. You dont specify if this a Reflector problem or a problem related to a assembly loaded in Reflector, which pretty much can throw the same message. Try setting your regional settings to neutral (US?).

I'm new to CSharp, this question may seem stupid to you guys, really appreciate your answer.
I created 2 files in one projcet: a.cs, b.cs,
now a.cs will reference some class defined in b.cs, I don't see in C# you can do something like "include b.cs", nevertheless both build ok. How does a.cs know to get definition from b.cs?
|
|
|
|
|
The C# compiler will automaticalliy resolve all types in the input files. Thus you can have a.cs with C : B and A and b.cs with B : A, and it will still resolve without issues. If the source is already an assembly you just need to reference that assembly and all its types will be resolved to.

when i tried to include "using System.Web.Services;" in a C# file,
got the following error:
"The type or namespace name 'Services' does not exist in the class or namespace 'System.Web' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"
why is that?
Thanks!

Following is a description of the problem I am having with W2K3, COM+ and Serviced component:
MSDN says: Article Tile: Serviced Component Overview
On Windows 2000 platforms, COM+ always loads the most recent version of the common language runtime for the component you're creating. This means that on a computer with both .NET Framework version 1.0 and .NET Framework version 1.1 installed, .NET Framework version 1.1 is always loaded. As a workaround, you can create a COM+ dllhost.exe.configuration file that enables you to "lock" all applications to a specific version of .NET Framework. On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 platforms, the Application Root Directory setting can be used to point COM+ to an appropriate directory for its configuration file.
The bit I am interested in is the Application Root Directory setting, I have tried to set this in an application but the properties which give me information from this file still look for the dllhost.exe.config in the System32 directory. I want to confirm that this feature is not working or that there is something else I need to do, to allow the above to be exposed/pulled through to my COM+ objects.

I don't get Channel's (TCPChannel, HTTPChannel), is it just a new way of doing Client Server Applications????
Could some one shead some light on this for me... thanks
|
|
|
|
|
TcpChannel and HttpChannel are used for .NET framework's Remoting part. Remoting can be said to be one way of building client server apps, yes. Basically it's a mechanism for client and server to communicate. And they communicate through the channels (tcp or http) with messages passing through various sinks that can be used to encrypt/decrypt or processed in some other way.

I have Master-Detail datagrid. The detail datagrid is embedded in the Master datagrid. In the detail datagrid I want to implement paging ,sorting etc. I have addes the event handlers delegates manually. For some reason the pageindexchanged or sort events for the detail datagrid. Does anyone know of this behaviour? I saw a lot Master-Details datagrids on the internet, nobody seems to have implemented paging-sorting for details grid embedded within a datagrid. thanks
