VS.NET Addin, try to serialize into filestream -> Unable to determine identity of assembly.

Hi NG,

i try to load and save some configuration data at startup/shutdown in my vs.net 2003 addin.

But i can't create a IsolatedStorageFileStream. The exception message is

{"Unable to determine identity of assembly." }

If i run the UserControl which is nested in a ToolWindow standalone everything works fine.

Any Idea?

Threads = headache
Random threads = insane!

Theortically you could create a hashmap or similar, create a random string value for the key and an instance of the thread for the value.

That way you would have random names associated with the threads, plus you could still enumerate through the collection. Plus the collection could grow and shrink as necessary.

But please... dont Wink | ;-)

print in landscape

Can one change printer orientation to landscape, using c# and no API?
I can't even get hands to default printer.

To print in C# you'll want to investigate the PrintDocument class - probably create a sub-class of it or at least set a print handler. PrintDocument has a PrinterSettings property for setting the printer, and a DefaultPageSettings property which can be used to set landscape orientation.

Here are a couple of articles on the topic:

You are not quite provide sufficient information for an answer.
For example, if you are using a Windows Form application, then are you using the PrintDialog control?? That gives you access to the printers and allows the user to define printing landscape.

i am using Windows Forms application.
But i am printing a Crystal report from Crystal Viewer using its default toolbar button.
I set landscape orientation in Printing Options for the report. So, it is PRESENTED in landscape. But, when it is printed, its printed in default printer orientation.
So I need a way to change default orientation, print report, then change it back.
Unsure | :~

Sounds like "left hand to right ear", but can't see any other way.

I have a datagrid showing 200+ records, if user scrolls down to select a row that is off the initail screen, can I set the datagrid to show that part of data around the selected row to avoid user using scroll bar again and again.

Thanks,

If I understood well, you want to be able to scroll the DataGrid to a certain position.
DataGrid has some protected members that you can use to handle scrolling: VertScrollBar, HorizScrollBar, GridVScrolled, GridHScrolled.

For vertical scrolling I recommend you to do something like this:

public class MyDataGrid:DataGrid
{
public void ScrollToPos(int position)
{
ScrollEventArgs sea= new crollEventArgs(ScrollEventType.ThumbPosition,position);
this.GridVScrolled(this,sea);
}
}

Best Regards,

Try something like the following:

string domain = ...;
string newComputer = ...;
string groupName = ...;

// Connect to AD and get the computer container object
DirectoryEntry deDomain = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + domain);
DirectoryEntry deNewComputer = new DirectoryEntry("WinNT://" + domain + "/" + newComputer + ", computer");

// Connect to the group container and add the computer object
DirectoryEntry deGrp = deDomain.Children.Find(groupName, "Group");
if (deGrp.Name != null)
    deGrp.Invoke("Add", new Object[]{deNewComputer.Path.ToString()}); 
deGrp.CommitChanges();

I'm starting an application with windows Forms. I know how change the current Culture and since this action every resouces that open, take the new Culture Value( System.Threading.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = new Globalization.CultureInfo (String * IdCulture) (...) )

OK that's right, but what happens with the Main Form that is Loaded since the start of execution?
Can I do a Reload or something like that, by anyway, or assing dinamically another ResX File to the MainForm for translate it without Close()?

Advanced thanks, gurus. I expect your answers Big Grin | :-D

Instead of putting this code in the constructor or something else that initializes controls (default for forms designers), put it in a separate method that re-instantiates the ResourceManager and assigns the localized strings / objects to the respective control properties.

You can also create a ResourceManager for a specific culture rather than setting the current thread's UI culture, but this usually a good idea to do anyway.

Using Explorer control to display HTML code?

I have some code

hehehe

How can I use Explorer control to display it? And how can I add some images in this control in run-time? D'Oh! | :doh:

Thank u very much Rose | [Rose]

1) Create a new C# Windows application
2) Go in the Toolbox, right-click, add a new item. Choose the "COM components" tab, and select the "Microsoft web browser" (shdocvw.dll)
3) drop the web browser onto the form
4) select the web browser control
5) show the Properties window, click on the laser icon to show all events
6) in front of NavigateComplete, add an event handler, for instance : OnNavigateComplete.
7) go back in the solution tree, right-click and add a reference, browse then choose "Microsoft HTML document" (mshtml.dll)
8) open the C# code
9) add the #using mshtml; statement at the top
10) in InitializeComponent(), add the following code :

// fake IE startup
object o = null;
Show();
axWebBrowser1.Navigate("about:blank", ref o, ref o, ref o, ref o);

Then, implement your event handler like this :

private void OnNavigateComplete(object sender, AxSHDocVw.DWebBrowserEvents2_NavigateComplete2Event e)
{
  IHTMLDocument2 doc = (IHTMLDocument2) this.axWebBrowser1.Document;
  doc.body.innerHTML = @"<img src='http://www.arstdesign.com/iconpdf.gif' border=0>";
}

As you can see, the event handler is only here to temporize before the Internet Explorer instance is up and ready. Once it is, we add the html code to render with a simple doc.body.innerHTML statement.

Good luck!

Adding to the registry directly: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/programmersguide/shell_basics/shell_basics_extending/fileassociations/fileassoc.asp[^]

From an installer project in VS.NET: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vsinstal/html/vehowaddingremovingfiletypes.asp[^]

Don't forget to search MSDN or your documentation in VS.NET. Good research skills are important.

Any good Active Directory programming books?

I'm looking for book recomendations for developing against Active Directory with C#.

I've gone through the DirectoryServices namespace documentation in the MSDN library, but it falls short in covering the directory entry properties, etc... or I just haven't been looking in the right place.

Any good books or web references would be appreciated.

Hi, I have been trying to look in the msdn library, but found nothing, maybe because i dont know what i am looking for. If you know how to obtain a list of computers in a domain, it would be helpful if you told me, or told me where to look.

Thanks

In most cases, you can P/Invoke NetServerEnum in the Network Management API. There's no native way in .NET. You could possibly, however, use classes in the System.Management namespace to query WMI if you have an AD WMI provider. I can't remember off the top of my head if one comes with NT by default or now, or if it even exists. That's really about the only way without P/Invoking anything.

You can also use a slew of AD functions, but that will include P/Invoke functions and redefining structs and constants when needed.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
