One approach would be to...
Make the popped-up area a parentless, topmost Form that holds whatever custom control you wish. You can initialize it something like:
protected void InitMyPoppedForm
{
...
this.TopMost = true;
this.Deactivate += new System.EventHandler(this.MyPoppedForm_Deactivate);
...
}
Then you need to handle the Form's deactivate event, which fires when the user clicks anywhere else other than inside the MyPoppedForm. At the very least this should simply close the popped up form (like a combobox "rolls up" when it loses focus).
Something like:
private void MyPoppedForm_Deactivate(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Hide();
NotifySomeoneILostFocus();
}
Hope that helps.

I've tried this approach, but when the form poppes up, thw hosting form is loosing focus. i.e. the caption color of the form changes to gray.
In the combobox it stays blue even when it dropped down.
What can the reason for this?
Thanks for answering.

 Hi-
I have a c# program which encrypts a password and stores it in an access database (into a text field with 150 char). When I try to decrypt it, it tells me "bad data".
Here is how I encrypt it:
//Create a UnicodeEncoder to convert between byte array and string.
UnicodeEncoding ByteConverter = new UnicodeEncoding();
//Create byte arrays to hold original, encrypted, and decrypted data.
byte[] dataToEncrypt = ByteConverter.GetBytes(this.editHeartsPsWd.Text.ToString());
byte[] encryptedData;
//Create a new instance of RSACryptoServiceProvider to generate
//public and private key data.
RSACryptoServiceProvider RSA = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
//Pass the data to ENCRYPT, the public key information
//(using RSACryptoServiceProvider.ExportParameters(false),
//and a boolean flag specifying no OAEP padding.
encryptedData = HallenSchool.HallenFunctions.RSAEncrypt(dataToEncrypt,RSA.ExportParameters(false), false);
string sSQL="UPDATE Staff SET Staff.HeartsPsWd = '" + ByteConverter.GetString(encryptedData) + "' WHERE Staff.[Staff Code]= " + this.editStaff_Code.Text.ToString();
Here is how I decrypt it:
//Create a UnicodeEncoder to convert between byte array and string.
UnicodeEncoding ByteConverter = new UnicodeEncoding();
//Create a new instance of RSACryptoServiceProvider to generate
//public and private key data.
RSACryptoServiceProvider RSA = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] decryptedData;
byte[] encryptedData;
string strHeartsPsWd = this.editHeartsPsWd.Text.ToString();
strHeartsPsWd = strHeartsPsWd.Trim();
encryptedData=ByteConverter.GetBytes(strHeartsPsWd);
if (!(encryptedData.Length==0))
{
decryptedData = HallenSchool.HallenFunctions.RSADecrypt(encryptedData,RSA.ExportParameters(true), false);
this.editHeartsPsWd.Text= ByteConverter.GetString(decryptedData);
}// not empty password
Thanks for your help!

First, don't use Text.ToString: Text already returns a string - your call to ToString is completely unnecessary.
Second, you're treating binary data as text, which can cause encoding problems. If you want to encode binary data as text, then you should chain something like the ToBase64Transform or FromBase64Transform or simply use Convert.ToBase64String or Convert.FromBase64String.
Finally, the problem is most likely in your RSADecrypt method that you're not displaying. Everything you're doing besides that is simply encoding and decoding and should not throw such an exception that uses the "Bad data" message.
Please be more specific. What exception is being thrown and from which line? Step through your code and determine exactly where the error occurs.

Hi -
The RSADecrypt is:
static public byte[] RSADecrypt(byte[] DataToDecrypt, RSAParameters RSAKeyInfo,bool DoOAEPPadding)
{
try
{
//Create a new instance of RSACryptoServiceProvider.
RSACryptoServiceProvider RSA = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
//Import the RSA Key information. This needs
//to include the private key information.
RSA.ImportParameters(RSAKeyInfo);
//Decrypt the passed byte array and specify OAEP padding.
//OAEP padding is only available on Microsoft Windows XP or
//later.
return RSA.Decrypt(DataToDecrypt, DoOAEPPadding);
}
//Catch and display a CryptographicException
//to the console.
catch(CryptographicException e)
{
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(e.ToString());
return null;
}
} //end RSADecrypt
***** The exception is thrown at the return RSA.Decrypt(DataToDecrypt, DoOAEPPadding);
statement.
Thanks for your help!

Like I mentioned before, it's probably because you're treating binary data as text. Try just storing the encrypted data in a byte[] array and then decrypt that, as opposed to putting it in a TextBox (or whatever you are storing it in) and decrypt that and see what happens.

I have class like this
Public class A
{
private string stra1;
public string geta1 {
get{ return stra1;}
}
public void seta1{string sa1)
{
stra1=sa1;
}
public a{
//contructor
}
//Inner class
public class b
{
private string strb1;
public string getb1 {
get{ return strb1;}
}
public void setb1{string sb1)
{
strb1=sb1;
}
public b{
//contructor
}
}
How can i access the inner class now??

From inside class A, just instantiate B. From outside class A, you can instantiate A.B.
FYI, class B can access private members of class A, and instantiating class A does not instantiate class B.
You typically nest classes to either show dependency of the nested class on the outer class or to mark the nested class as private so that only the outer class can access it (it still needs a public or internal constructor, though).

Consider the following code...
public class Outer
{
public Outer() { }
<br>
public class Inner
{
public Inner() { }
}
}
The Inner class can be accessed as follows...
Outer.Inner i = new Outer.Inner();

A small annotation that doesn't deal with your question.
Instead of the public get- and set-methods, use properties to offer access to your private class members.
<br />
private string stra1;<br />
public string Stra1<br />
{<br />
get<br />
{<br />
return this.stra1;<br />
}<br />
set<br />
{<br />
this.stra1 = value;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Afterwards you can access the property like a public variable.
<br />
A obj = new A();<br />
obj.Stra1 = "string";<br />
string x = obj.Stra1;

Hi
Well, my question today is how I could use a dataset into a PivotTable??
I try to use a PivotTable v10 into my C# project, and I wanna bind it from a dataset, but I don't know how. The PivotTable just can be binded from a DataSource 
If someone work with PivotTable in C#, please help me.
Thanks

It must bind against an ADO data source, not an ADO.NET data source. In order to do this, you must import the ADO typelib. If you have installed VS.NET, it is recommended that you use the Primary Interop Assembly (PIA) created by Microsoft, adodb.dll. This is found by default in Program Files\Microsoft.NET\Primary Interop Assemblies.
You use ADO much like you use ADO.NET: you create connections and commands and execute that command to get back an ADO recordset, which you can then set as the PivotTable.DataSource property value.

Just add a reference to it and access the classes just like you do with any other assembly.

Hey,
I need an example of an application written in C#, using Winforms, and especially separating the three classic layers (Data Access Layer, Business Logic layer, User Interface Layer)..
If you know any please send the link..
It would be of GREAT help to me..
Thank you!

this is the code i used
PrintDocument pd=new PrintDocument();
pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize= // don't know what to put here
chad
|
|
|
|
|
Set it to a new instance of the PaperSize, like so:
PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new PaperSize("Legal", 8500, 14000);You can also get supported paper sizes from the printer by getting the PrinterSettings in a number of ways and then enumerating through the PaperSizes collection property.

ok here is my code listing but it dose not print on legal paper is sayes manual feed plain letter on my printer
public void printpages()
{
pages=cnt;
pd.PrintPage += new inting.PrintPageEventHandler .printDocument1_PrintPage);
pd.DocumentName = "Imaging";
pd.DefaultPageSettings.PaperSize = new PaperSize("Legal", 8500, 14000);
if (pd.PrinterSettings.IsValid)
{
pd.Print();
}
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender,System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
System.IO.FileStream fs ; //create a filestream to open the image
fs= new FileStream("c:\\temp\\test.tiff",System.IO.FileMode.Open,System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
Image newImage = Image.FromStream(fs);
Rectangle destRect = new Rectangle( 1, 1,1000,1000);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(newImage, destRect);
fs.Close();
}

Does your printer even support legal paper? As I mentioned before, get the PrinterSettings for your paper and enumerate the PaperSizes collection property.

I'm still finding my feet in the new .NET world, wanting to learn the best practises rather than just using old C++ techniques.
I'm looking for the best way for displaying a list of data records and allow double-click to launch a seperate form, passing in the record that has been selected.
In MFC, I use a ListViewCtrl and fill it with data from a recordset.
What is the best way to do this in C#.
A data-bound ListView control seemed the best way, but that doesn't seem possible in C#. Or is the DataGrid the way it should be done in C#.
I only want to display the data in a columned list, with no editing - possibly may want to have a different background colour on individual rows.

You can always data-bind the ListView though there are no properties or functionality to do this for you like there is for the DataGrid. You can make either one work, however.
With the DataGrid, you could handle the DoubleClick event. In that handler, get the CurrentRowIndex and use that to get the DataRow in your data source. If you bind against a DataView instead, be sure to get the DataRowView with that index in order to get the row. Then just invoke whatever action you want using the data from that row.

Thanks,
Being a lazy kind of guy, I've been looking for a ListView control that already has the data-binding code implemented. Beyond a VB.NET sample on MSDN (and a poor conversion to C# here at CP), I haven't found anything.
As you seem to be the oracle when it comes to all things C#, do you know of any code that already implements data-binding in a ListView.
I'm probably going to have to write it myself, but I can't believe nobody has done it already. (I'm equally surprised that MS didn't do it either)
