I'm trying to save a Button object to a file, with the following code:
[Serializable]
public class SaveSettings
{
public System.Windows.Forms.Button btn = new
System.Windows.Forms.Button();
}
System.Windows.Forms.Button testBtn = new System.Windows.Forms.Button();
SaveSettings.btn = testBtn;
Serializer.Serialize(settings.btn,"C:\\aButton.btn");
public static void Serialize(object Object, string FileName)
{
BinaryFormatter bformatter = new BinaryFormatter();
Stream stream = File.Open(FileName, FileMode.Create);
bformatter.Serialize(stream, Object);
stream.Close();
}
But I get the following exception:
An unhandled exception of
type 'System.Runtime.Serialization.SerializationException' occurred in
mscorlib.dll
Additional information: The type System.Windows.Forms.Button in Assembly
System.Windows.Forms, Version=1.0.3300.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 is not marked as serializable.
What is wrong? How can I make it serializable?
I'm also trying with a Panel(containg butttons) and a TreeView(containing nodes), it all results in the same exception.(Simpel things as an ArrayList,string, int or double works fine)
Thanks in advance for your help ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) ,

Do you really want to serialize the button?
You could instead save button's Checked state and/or the button's Text label.

Yes, because my applicaton creats buttons in realtime.
Actualy I'm trying to save a ArrayList of Panel objects(allso made in runtime) that contains diffrent sized buttons. I've created a button class that extends the windows button class, with addisional information. Same thing for the panel.
Sorry about my bad English.

The Windows.Forms-Controls are not serializable, but you can export all properties of the Button and serialize the Hashtable. After deserializing the Hashtable, you can set all properties "by name".
Hashtable hashtable = new Hashtable();
ListFields(button, hashtable);
//...
private void ListFields(object obj, Hashtable ht){
BindingFlags flags = BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.Public;
FieldInfo[] arrInfo = obj.GetType().GetFields(flags);
foreach(FieldInfo info in arrInfo) {
ht.Add(info.Name, info.GetValue(obj));
object fieldValue = info.GetValue(obj);
if(fieldValue != null){ ListFields(fieldValue); }
}
}

In a similar fashion - though a little more "serialization-friendly", you could create a class that implements ISerializationSurrogate that serializes the Button and add that to the serialization formatter's SurrogateSelector. Then you don't have to worry about overriding serialization in the parent, properly serializing field values, and stuffing them in a Hashtable to be later serialized. Using ISerializationSurrogate is pretty much the same as implementing ISerializable.

Using a DataGridColumnStyle is the best way to do this. That's what they're there for - to customize the data-bindable cells in a DataGrid. There's an easy article about this in MSDN posted a few months ago at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/08/DataGrids/default.aspx[^].
If you don't want to use this mechanism, then handle the DataGrid.CurrentCellChanged event, determine if you should show a ComboBox for the current cell, then add a ComboBox to the DataGrid's container's Controls collection with a higher TabStop than the DataGrid, and size the ComboBox to match the cell's extents. This is a really poor way of handling this and I'm not guaranteeing that it'll work.

I’m using a simple print template: http://www.webreference.com/js/column92/7.html. I programmatically set the orientation to landscape by adding the following to the code that gets executed immediately on pageLoad:
printer.orientation = “landscape”;
alert(printer.pageHeight + “ ” + printer.pageWidth);
The expected result should be an alert that displayed (850 1100). However the page orientation is not properly updated and the alert displays (1100 1100). The width of the page is updated properly, but the width is not. The settings is actually updated in PageSetup but isn’t properly refreshed in the UI. After displaying the PageSetup and closing the dialog the UI is properly refreshed.
I need to get the orientation to work properly in the UI without any problems.

I'm looking for some documentation on core system DLL's (in XP).
I've been trawling search engines looking for the method specs, but had no joy. Does anyone know where I could find something like this?

Your not too clear on this.
Do you need source code for a flow diagram control?

I have some sample code Heath (Stewart) may recognise it, as it's from his Icon Extraction sample.
Anyway, I'm confused about the use of the | operator with enumerations.
<br />
[DllImport("shell32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]<br />
private static extern IntPtr SHGetFileInfo(<br />
string path,<br />
int fileAttributes,<br />
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.Struct), Out]out SHFileInfo info,<br />
int fileInfoSize,<br />
[MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.U4)]SHGFI flags);<br />
First is the use of the SHGFI Flags, which I take as wanting to use the Hex values as handles or refferences or pointers or something. I'm sure I'll figure it out.
The next part is:
<br />
IntPtr retVal = SHGetFileInfo(filename, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,<br />
out info, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(SHFileInfo)),<br />
SHGFI.AddOverlays | SHGFI.DisplayName | SHGFI.Icon | SHGFI.SmallIcon<br />
| SHGFI.TypeName | SHGFI.UseFileAttributes);<br />
Now, how does the | operator in this work? Is it actualy an or statement? Or a collection of flags from the enumeration? If so, what effect does the | charachter have?
Thanks guys

The latter, it behave like flags. A bit-wise OR iow.

Seen on my Campus BBS: Linux is free...coz no-one wants to pay for it.

How do flags work? What is the OR required for? What do flags represent? Hex numbers paired with ordered values from an enumeration?
Cheers
