If the IDL has a [default] attribute at the wrong place, I would reopen it using OLEViewer, grab the IDL definition, change it, and recompile the tlb.

You are "joking", Right?... You mean each time i'm creating ActiveX Assembly supporting COM Interop with AutoDual.None, I should manually after the build go in there grab IDL, goto OleView, export it, edit it, save then run MIDL, then rerregister (possibly resign?)...
You are joking, I'm sure!

I resolved it by using ICreateTypeLib2, eventhough it was tricky. But my point was:
MS talks about perfect CLR future, while still having inherited since about 10years ago bugs here and there, that haven't been fixed.
I was surprised recently, that even kernel FindResource function behaves differently on NT, 2000 and XP and doesn't follow documentation.
Yes, MSFT fixed IPersistStreamInit interface of WinForm Controls in .NET 1.1 -- however IPesristMemory still doesn't work.
IOleObject::SetClientSite returns E... NOT_IMPLEMENTED.

BTW: thanx for defending me about 1 year ago from one of the racist IDIOTS.

That was an idea to solve the issue. It's true that what you say : "You mean each time i'm creating ActiveX Assembly..." brings a different perspective since it implies you are writing many ActiveX components. The proposed solution is fine if you just do it once. This was more or less implied anyway.

I am not surprised, those are 3 rather different codebases. But of course, one feels like insulting MS when the thing to be used doesn't behave the same depending on the underlying OS, and as such requires significant time and work to get around.
I am afraid it's got to worsen. Guess what's going to happen when your boss says let's make a Windows.CE compatible version of the software.
At the end of the day though, that's what differentiates real great developers from others. Great developers get around those things, because they have the necessary background.

I'm not that often here, but yesterday I've suddenly rediscovered that thread and found your message:

Thanx

Anyway, I have not related question. Because it looks like you are more frequent here: How long usually it takes to place an article on CP?
I mean, not article you enter youself, but the one you submit through email?

The reason I'm asking is: I've emailed my article, which is here:
http://members.cox.net/igor.tebelev/ActiveXDeployer.htm[^]
about 2 weeks ago...
I've got conformation from Chris, but since then nothing happens.

I understand it's summer time and etc. Maybe you have any knowledge on how long it usually takes?

It usually takes one week. Unfortunately, Chris is currently in Redmond (if I understood well) so the article processing gets somewhat deferred one week or so.
Once the article gets in the pipe, that is once Chris has reached your email out of his billions emails, then you will be sent an automated email.
Once you have this email, it takes a few days before it gets edited by the editors and actually gets posted.

Should be posted soon now.

Hmm.. what does this mean?

But when i try this:

I have released v1.2 of my Code Store[^] add-in for VS.NET, which does work (for the most part). Now I want to move on and add a better user interface and proper handling of settings before adding some more useful functionality.

I started by using ISerializable to serialize the settings, but had problems, so I switched to the Microsoft Configuration Management Application Block (CMAB[^]), but now I have hit yet further problems with this, that I have posted a question about on the microsoft.public.dotnet.distributed_apps newsgroup.

What I really need is someone (or some people) who know what they're doing to come in and fix these intial problems so that I can get on with the serious business of adding functionality. If you are interested and think you can help, then please wander over to GotDotNet Workspaces[^] and dowmload the code.

There are also issues relating to add-in registration and the setup of the menu item, etc. that would also be good to fix asap.

OK, so I find your options.cs file Smile | :)

But where are you using the CMAB?

AFAIKC, this is the implemention (2 ways):

...
ConfigurationManager c = ConfigurationManager.Items;
...
c["mysetting"] = Blah.Blah.Foo;
c["font"] = WebDongs;
...

// Write a specific data element to the default configuration section

ConfigurationManager.Items["connection_string"] = "Some String";

// Read a specific data element from the default configuration section

string conString = (string)ConfigurationManager.Items["connection_string"];

The Read/Write methods are "extras".

Hope this helps Smile | :)

Just to check if everything was going wrong I added a call to Initialise in the Options constructor: ConfigurationManagaer.Initialise(). This is the first place that the exception is thrown.

However, the call to Initialise should not be necessary, so the first place I should be calling CMAB is in the Options.LoadOptions call: this.configData = ConfigurationManager.Read();

MS example - Unhandled exception

vahurnya3-Jul-03 14:03

3-Jul-03 14:03

Hi all,
I spent almost one day to find out why do i receive unhandled exception when trying to select multiple rows in a form's DataGrid. I will get the error if I put a DataGrid to a form and choose any unexpandable data source (for e.g. an ArrayList), which produces readonly DataGrid by default. If I start to select the last 2 rows in my readonly DataGrid with the keyboard (<shift>+<crsr down="">) and keep my fingers on the keyboard for a while (trying to select the unexisting rows), then pressing a <shift>+<crsr up=""> leads to crash.
If the DataGrid is not read only, then working fine. (only the DataGridTableStyle can be readonly to avoid the exception)
I could not believe my eyes, so I downloaded an MS example, called "datagridcustomization.exe" from http://download.microsoft.com/download/c/9/8/c985dbd0-2ba9-4c75-86ba-a108e64b0970/datagridcustomization.exe

but this produced something new, which is also strange.
just unpack the example and run the program found under the /bin directory and simply press the <crsr down=""> key until you reach the end of the datagrid Confused | :confused:

since i just started to learn .Net framework, i do not know if this kind of component behavior is normal or not? Smile | :)

Is there any global exception handling possibility to handle such exceptions?

thanks

Problems upgrading to from 1.0 -> 1.1

Ok guys, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and am not getting anywhere. I just can't get MS Visual Studio to recognize my 1.1 .NET SDK update. I'm on a win 2K machine and have VS .NET professional installed (which installs the 1.0 SDK be default).

When I try installing the 1.1 SDK over the 1.0, VS .NET doesn't recognize the update. It says (under help->About Microsoft Development Environment) that I have the 1.0 framework installed. I get no errors when installing the 1.1 SDK, and am installing the 1.1 runtimes first, before the sdk.

Ive tried uninstalling 1.0 SDK, and then reinstalling 1.1. When I did this MS Visual Studio gives me errors and says I need to reinstall VS.

Any ideas? At the very least can someone give me the order in which I should install/uninstall everything? I may end up just moving to a different/fresh machine and starting over.

Thanks for any help

Are you using Visual Studio 2002? Visual Studio 2002 only targets NET 1.0 .You can not use the .NET 1.1 from within Visual Studio 2002.

To build a .NET 1.1 App you have two options:

1. Use Visual Studio to write and organize your files and then use the command line compiler on the 1.1 SDK folder to build your app (but remember that NET 1.1 introduces some code-breaking changes to NET 1.0)

2. Upgrade to Visual Studio 2003

Dear all experts Rose | [Rose]

,

Hi, this is my first message on codeproject. I am very new to .NET programming. I like to know how to duplicate an ArrayList.

--Can I write this?:
System.Collections.ArrayList ListCopy=ListOriginal.Clone();
--or--
System.Collections.ArrayList ListCopy=new System.Collections.ArrayList();
ListCopy=ListOriginal.Clone();
--or--
System.Collections.ArrayList ListCopy=ListOriginal.ToArray();
--or--
System.Collections.ArrayList ListCopy=new System.Collections.ArrayList();
ListCopy=ListOriginal.ToArray();

or any other method ? Please give me advise.
Thanks you very much. Big Grin | :-D

These two will give you an Array not an ArrayList.

Correction: This does return an ArrayList NOT an Array.

From the SSCLI:

public virtual Object Clone()
{
    ArrayList la = new ArrayList(_size);
    la._size = _size;
    la._version = _version;
    Array.Copy(_items, 0, la._items, 0, _size);
    return la;
