These are generated by macros so guess it would mean redefining the Macro. Although for some you might be able to get away with putting the Attribute in front of the Macro (as some expand out to just function definitions)... If I recall MFC correctly (it has been some time since I used it)
Well, its not as bad as -16. Last night it was -4C. In fact we've not had a really cold winter since 1995/6 and then it got down to -20C in the central belt [The corridor between Edinburgh and Glasgow] and much colder in the Highlands. That followed a really excellent summer as I recall. This year has had an excellent summer. So if the cycle holds then it'll be just the right temeperature for bursting pipes when I go on holiday.

Thank you for the reply. I hope you do not have a cold winter this year. I can't wish this for our winter in Toronto because either I wish or not the terrible winter shows up. Worse than that is our vehicle. They put ice salt on the streets and it covers the entire body of the vehicel. I spent an hour to take the salt off my Honda Civic body. (My nice car was so dirty  )
By the way, have you ever been here?

Yes, I was in Toronto in the Summer of 2000. I also did a tour up the thousand islands, over into New York State and toured around the Addirondacks then along the south of the Great Lake (the name escapes me), and back into Canada at Niagra Falls. Also took in a couple of days up by Lake Huron. It was a really nice holiday.
I stayed in a B&B near Kingston for a couple of night that was run by a really nice couple. She did the B&B stuff but he was a professional chef and I have never had so much great food. When I went down for breakfast he had about 6 types of bread on offer, all baked within the last hour. That was truely awsome hospitality.
Have you ever been to Scotland?

I was just wondering if the Framework includes the compiler in some set of wrappers. I'm writing a utility that needs to be able to compile solutions written in VB.NET and C# for use at the office and would like to have a custom class to do compilations. I was just wondering whether it's there or not. Of course I can always write a class wrapper that handles the existing compiler and possible command lines (which is what I'm going to do for the short term) but I was just wondering... I'm always finding something in there I didn't expect.

You will find the C# compiler at path
C:\WINNT\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.0.3705\CSC.exe
"v1.0.3705" may vary depending on the version of .NET Framework installed.

I'm writing a simple little c# class to simply function as an alarm - you pass it a System.DateTime with the constructor, and when that time is reached, it fires an "Alarm" event. Simple enough. However, what's the most efficient way of doing this? Currently, I have thought of two ways. The first has a timer within the class that raises it's event every second or so, and each time it checks to see whether the time now is the same as the target time (accurate to the minute essentially, which is all that's neccesary).
The second is to work out how many milliseconds is between the time the control is enabled, and the target time, and set the interval to that. With repeat turned off, this means that in theory the timer will fire when the alarm is due, which is maybe more efficient than regular comparison checking?
Are these both crazy? Which is more sensible? Is the System.Timers.Timer accurate enough to do the second option anyway?
Am i missing a very easy way of doing this that is nothing like the above? Thank you very much in advance for any comments.

There doesn't appear to be any clear "best" way of dealing with this kind of thing. I have a couple of Windows Services that have to do various things at "scheduled" times. At the time I needed to write them, I chose the services route. Who knows now whether another method would have worked better... but from my experience it doesn't matter much. I run a timer as you suggested. Since my timing is accurate to the minute (not second) then I fire the timer every 60 seconds. Start the timer when the application starts and let it go with that. Don't use the Forms Timer. Use one of others. They're much better (like the System.Timers or the System.Threading.Timers).
Another option (which I could have taken) is to use the .NET framework wrappers for the Windows Scheduler service. There's an article on here all about that. Then you can write an application that runs when it's scheduled to and that's it. Simple as you please as long as the user is letting this service run.

This isn't really a framework related question and besides you have already posted the same question to the C# forum.
|
|
|
|

Many apologies for any annoyance caused by a double post - I couldn't decide whether this was more of a general framework question or not. I happen to implement in c#, so posted there first, but thought that then it might be more appropriate as a general question of technique. Again, apologies for offence caused!

Software must be delivered faster than ever before, without sacrificing the time taken to design and implement architecture. Research bears that less than 70 percent of development projects are actually completed, and more than half come in late and over budget.
TierDeveloper is a time saving OR mapping and code generation tool that helps Software engineers do better, more creative, and useful work by reducing redundant hand coding. TierDeveloper greatly reduces the costs of software production and reduces manual errors. In this world of increasingly code-intensive frameworks, the value of replacing laborious hand coding with code generation is acute and, this is one of the reason why TierDeveloper popularity is increasing day by day.
For a free evaluation please visit: http://www.alachisoft.com/download.htm
Time Savings in the Implementation Phase
TierDeveloper quickly designs, generates and deploys the middle-Tier data objects in hours or days at most. This is the biggest area of saving in a software project when you use TierDeveloper.TierDeveloper also generates a fully functional web application to test and verify data object behavior. One not only learns from this web-application but can also copy/paste code from this web-application to another web-application. This will save a great deal of time.
Time Savings in Testing Phase
Any code that TierDeveloper generates is based on code-templates that have been tested for functionality and performance. This means that one has to do much less testing of the application since TierDeveloper generated code is at least 50% of the middle-tier objects. Similarly, any code that one will copy/paste from generate web application is also pre-tested and reduces the testing of the web application as well.

Hello,
Since I couldn't find the right component to do what I
want, I'm planning to write a recursive search and replace
in files component. This will accept a table of links,
search them in html files and replace with a new link.
I am planning to use the System.IO namespace and load
files into memory (using stream objects?). Is this the
right way to go about this or am I missing something big
here??
Any help appreciated,
Thanks.

Hello,
Does anyone know how to implement any of the unique GUI features found in Microsoft's Project 2000? The basic framework of this app looks a lot like something I want to build myself.
Some of the features are:
(1) a vertical toolbar at the left of the MDI parent window, showing icons (and texts below the icons). The icons seem to be buttons (doing a mouseover will show the button border), but the button border is absent otherwise; only the icon shows. The ordinary Windows App button does not support this display mode out of the box.
(2) the main client area of the application can have one or more MDI child windows for projects. But each window will contain whatever type of chart is selected in that vertical toolbar described above, and whenever a particular chart is selected, it occupies the entire client area of the MDI child window.
#1 can be implemented the hard way with a panel and ordinary buttons, tolerating not having the button borders go away when no mouseover. Or, just use PictureBoxes and load in icons with and without a "button border" depending on mouseover state.
#2 is similar to trying to build a wizard with the TabControl and trying to get rid of the tabs themselves, something no longer available in .NET. Otherwise this approach could work by just having all the different flavors of charts available in a big TabControl and just bringing up the desired one.
But all this seems rather roundabout. Are there freeware/shareware solutions out there that can specifically implement the Microsoft's Project 2000-style interface? As interfaces go, I think this one is rather good for certain kinds of applications, and so I'd ruthlessly want to mimic it.
Thanks
Mike

Is there a book or an online reference that discusses, preferably step-by-step, what the industry standard (as defined by MS) for designing, laying-out, developing, and implementing Windows Forms Applications?
I appreciate any information! 
|
|
|
|

Jeffrey,
To my knowledge, there isn't an industry standard for designing Windows Forms Applications. I believe the standard is .NET itself, and the implementation is up to the developer. I've read several of the Microsoft Press books for Windows Apps, along w/ books by Apress, Oreilly, etc. and they all have varying approaches.
I think one of the best books out there is User Interfaces in C#: Windows Forms and Custom Controls by Matthew McDonald (APress).
Another great place to start is w/ the Microsoft QuickStart Tutorials: http://samples.gotdotnet.com/quickstart/winforms/
http://www.windowsforms.net is also a great resource.
Lastly, probably the best resource for Microsoft recommended development, is going through their MCAD/MCSD course for Windows Forms. They have a great book for self-paced study:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735619263/qid=1070458423/br=1-18/ref=br_lf_b_18//103-6026681-2227824?v=glance&s=books&n=764452
Good luck!

Are you talking about like... What fonts, colours, icons and stuff to use?

is it possible? i know for the 2003 version you just use the compact frame work (or something along those lines)... is there perhaps a plugin that would allow you to do the same with vs.net 2002?
|
|
|
|

Sure, .NET 2002 simply doesn't include the SDK automatically. .NET 2003 does. Just download the SDK from Microsoft.

Is there a way of accessing a wellknown, singleton, remote object from the application that created the service?
I'm designing a system where a PC (host) has a hardware resource whose interface is to be shared on the LAN. In other words, client applications will be able to configure and access the hardware resource through the server application on the host PC. I also need to be able to access the hardware resource from the host PC. Since I want to maintain uniform access to this hardware resource, I want the server to access the same remote object as the clients. I have't been able to do that from the application that registers the service (wellknown, singleton). If there's no way to do that, is there another way to do this using remoting. If not, I could always revert back to using tcp communications but remoting sounds so sophisticated that I don't want to give up on it, yet.
Preemptively, thank you for you help.

I wanna use the TcpChannel class, but the VS.NET IDE tell me that the System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Tcp namespace isn't exist.
Why?

hi,
how a directoryentry-constructor hast to look like, if
the distinguished name (ldap-string) contains reserved characters.
i.g:
Dim deEntry as New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://CN=Thilo1\, Test,OU=users,DC=microsoft,dc=com")
i got an exception if the bindung string contains a reserved character (",").
what's the correct syntax?
thanks for your help an regards,

After creating a merge module using VS.Net 2003 and adding it to a setup, again created with VS.NET 2003, i got this error when running the setup."InstallUtilLib.dll: Unknown error in CorBindToRuntimeHost" on a Windows 2000 adv server machine with both frameworks 1.0 and 1.1 installed.
My project uses the installer classes to perform various CAs during install
(i.e. install a service)
Anybody have an idea whats wrong? 
I've linked to a demo solution[^] which demonstrates the exact problem.
Is this a bug in Visual Studio 2003?

Hello all,
I am programming a application in Managed C++ that simules a client of a web commerce site.
Some of pages of this site are SSL secures, and I don´t know what I have to do until to call HttpWebRequest. Have I to configured something on the computer or simply I have to programming something else?
I saw example of "How to do Synchronous and Asynchronous web downloads"
By Nishant S, but it doesn´t work with https, also.
I am very lost  . any idea? any example code?
Thanks,
Cris
Sorry and Excuse my poor English writting!!!

From what I've read in books on .NET 1.0, ByRef passes the argument twice: creating the local copy in the called function and then passing it back to the caller.
Then I saw some unsubstantiated comments about this behaviour being adjusted in 1.1, is this true, can anyone confirm?
