Re: Smart clients - the best way to implement this Heath Stewart11-Mar-04 2:38 Heath Stewart 11-Mar-04 2:38  Extending RealProxy lets you do just that pretty easily. You'll still need code that detects if you're online or not, and then creates the proxies accordingly. A RealProxy derivative gives you that kind of control at the source, so to speak. Besides, you can extend the TransparentProxy - it's generated at runtime.   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles Re: Smart clients - the best way to implement this Heath Stewart11-Mar-04 4:39 Heath Stewart 11-Mar-04 4:39  Another way is the Offlince Application Block from Microsoft, part of their Patterns and Practices initiative: http://msdn.microsoft.com/architecture/application/default.aspx?pull=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/offline.asp[^].   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles As stewy says "Victory is Mine" Matthew Hazlett10-Mar-04 10:31 Matthew Hazlett 10-Mar-04 10:31  Yoohoo - finally got my plugin thingy to work: * Each plugin is loaded into its own thread * No namespace or class name dependencys (thank you .GetInterfaces) ok, this is a personal victory, I was working with this for a week now Credits go to: Leppie and Heath Stewert for pointing my compass in the right direction !

Re: As stewy says "Victory is Mine" Wraith211-Mar-04 15:50 Wraith2 11-Mar-04 15:50  In which case i'd be very interested to see that, i started trying to implement it myself a few weeks ago and got bogged down in various bits of documentation. Re: As stewy says "Victory is Mine" Matthew Hazlett11-Mar-04 16:42 Matthew Hazlett 11-Mar-04 16:42  Heh, ok.... Your the second person to ask me this maybe I'll type up an article with what I learned. There are some great examples here like: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/PluginsInCSharp.asp But i'll send you what I made, the code is rough and hasn't been tweaked (Theres a lot I want to add to it) but its a proof of concept. But you can run method's ETC from an external DLL. I will email it to you. Matthew Hazlett Windows 2000/2003 MCSE Never got an MCSD, go figure... Measure Character Werdna10-Mar-04 8:22 Werdna 10-Mar-04 8:22  Is there a way to measure single character? Graphics.MeasureString seems to be off. For example if I have character "i", and the particular font I'm using it's one pixel wide, I'd like to know that it's 1 pixel wide. MeasureString adds some extra space. Re: Measure Character Judah Gabriel Himango10-Mar-04 11:22 Judah Gabriel Himango 10-Mar-04 11:22  Look at the System.Drawing.Graphics.MeasureCharacterRanges method, it should be all you need. Be forewarned: that method won't measure more than 32 characters. Call it recursively if you need to measure more than 32 characters. --------------------------- He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough. -Lao Tsu Re: Measure Character Werdna10-Mar-04 11:51 Werdna 10-Mar-04 11:51  MeasureCharacterRanges makes things even worse. What i'm doing is drawing text on a curve, so I need to draw each character seperately, because each character is at different x, y position and different rotation angle. The way measurestring (or measurecharacterranges) work is that it looks like it's done using fixed width font. Re: Measure Character Heath Stewart10-Mar-04 11:27 Heath Stewart 10-Mar-04 11:27  You should also make sure that the StringFormat you're using has the StringFormatFlags.MeasureTrailingSpaces excluded.   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles AmbientUserMode Andy H10-Mar-04 8:13 Andy H 10-Mar-04 8:13  I am converting a C++ control to a .NET control. In the C++ control in the OnDraw() method I tested for AmbientUserMode, and painted the background with a hashed brush if !AmbientUserMode, or if AmbientUserMode used the BackColor property. How can I test for AmbientUserMode in C# controls? Re: AmbientUserMode Heath Stewart10-Mar-04 10:05 Heath Stewart 10-Mar-04 10:05  Use the protected DesignMode (boolean) property in your control to determine if the control is currently being designed.   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles Re: AmbientUserMode Heath Stewart10-Mar-04 11:53 Heath Stewart 10-Mar-04 11:53  One other way if you want to separate your design code from the runtime code (common in the .NET FCL with the .Design assemblies), attribute your class with a Type string for a ControlDesigner[^] in a different assembly so that your Type string would look like "MyNamespace.Design.MyControlDesigner, MyAssembly.Design" (".Design" isn't necessary - just a common naming convention). The ControlDesigner lets you paint over your control (see ControlDesigner.OnPaintAdornments. The designer classes and interfaces can be very powerful when used effectively, and most designer support is built right into the .NET FCL (some is provided by the development environment like VS.NET or SharpDevelop). For more information about extending components with design-time capabilities, see Enhancing Design-Time Support[^] on MSDN.   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles FileAttributes Jonathan Slenders10-Mar-04 7:36 Jonathan Slenders 10-Mar-04 7:36  How can i change the fileattributes of a file (or folder). I will change the Read-only, Hidden, archive,... tags but i can't find it somewhere. It was no problem to change the creation, last access and last written time, but that class (FileInfo and DirectoryInfo) doesn't have anything to change the attributes of it. Can you help me? Jonathan Slenders Re: FileAttributes Mike Ellison10-Mar-04 8:14 Mike Ellison 10-Mar-04 8:14  Hi Jonathan. Try the System.IO.File.SetAttributes()[^] static method. Re: FileAttributes Heath Stewart10-Mar-04 10:14 Heath Stewart 10-Mar-04 10:14  See FileInfo.Attributes (inherited form FileSystemInfo). You can use bitwise operators to change the flags. For instance, to exclude the read-only, hidden, and archive flags, you could do something like this: FileInfo info = new FileInfo("path"); info.Attributes &= ~(FileAttributes.ReadOnly | FileAttributes.Hidden | FileAttributes.Archive);   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles Just like the System Clock Guinness4Strength10-Mar-04 6:23 Guinness4Strength 10-Mar-04 6:23  I want to replace the System Clock ("Date & Time properties") in the sys tray with my own.

Re: Just like the System Clock Heath Stewart10-Mar-04 6:26 Heath Stewart 10-Mar-04 6:26  Unless you can fit readable text into a 16x16 pixel icon, you can't. The system clock is not a systray icon and is handled specially by Windows.   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles hello! help for SMSC class ftanriov10-Mar-04 5:59 ftanriov 10-Mar-04 5:59  I've gor the code to send SMS, but it gives an error message!

Since this is not a .NET class provided by the Framework class library (FCL), it's difficult to know what you're doing wrong since this is a third-party control. You should always provide error information when asking for help on an error anyway.   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles Re: hello! help for SMSC class ftanriov10-Mar-04 6:48 ftanriov 10-Mar-04 6:48  Hi, thank you for your advices Error is: Server Error in '/my_p' Application. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The specified module could not be found.

You should put this either in the bin sub-directory of your web application or install it into the GAC by dragging into %windir%\assembly or using gacutil -i theAssembly.dll (only referencing the SMS assembly). Anything beyond that, you should consult the web site for the SMS assembly you're using.   Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles Re: hello! help for SMSC class ftanriov10-Mar-04 6:52 ftanriov 10-Mar-04 6:52  Aaand please check this link to understand what I'm dealing with... best regards jenny
