You don't need to draw the shadow yourself. Just add your menu item and the menu component in Office takes care of the rest.

Exactly that's my problem!
I tried to draw the image's shadow like this, but it looks not very great.
ControlPaint.DrawImageDisabled (e.Graphics,img,e.Bounds.X + 4,e.Bounds.Y + 4,Color.Transparent);
Is there any way to draw a shadow looking LIKE in Ofice XP?

You said you were working with Office XP components. If you only want Office XP-looking components, there are several articles here on CodeProject that show many different ways to achieve that. See the Menus and Toolbars Windows Forms Controls[^] section.

All,
Can anyone direct me to some quality articles on how to create Web Parts for SharePoint with C#?

Quality? No. We've been looking into SharePoint for quite some time. The best you can do is find typical "Hello, world!"-type examples. MSDN[^] has a few, and you can always google which is how we found as little as we did.
Welcome to the hell that is SharePoint documentation!

I have to agree 100%. I was put on the task of looking into coding some custom sharepoint webparts for our company and after finding virtually no documentation on it we concluded it would be cheaper just to purchase some pre-made web parts.

Can a column in a DataTable have ArrayList as a type?
thanks
|
|
|
|

DataColumn.DataType supports only the base types in .NET. See the property documentation in the .NET Framework SDK for more information.
Besides, even if it could you would have problems getting/setting that from/in a database if you use a DataAdapter or anything, as well as displaying it in data-bound controls like the DataGrid, which would force you to implement your own DataGridColumnStyle making your DataSet and your data-bound controls tightly coupled.

how do i load .tiff images into a document and print them.

If you're referring to a document format like Word documents, then you need to use the Office PIAs which providing printing methods.
If you want to create a conceptual document that merely holds a list of images, then it's a different story.
You could, for example, extend PrintDocument and add an ArrayList or something that contains images. In your print event overrides you need to not only enumerate those images (not in the handler, mind you, but keeping track of the position since the PrintPage event is called once per printed page) but determine whether or not one image will fit on a page in whole or in part. There are plenty of examples of this both on MSDN[^], CodeProject (I believe), and elsewhere on the web. It's really not difficult, though, you just have to keep track of state or decide to resize your images - or allow for both and use a user preference to determine which way to go.

would this print out more the one copy of my image . if not what would i have to change
public string[] files=new string(2)
Private Sub printButton_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Try
files[0]= "C:\My Folder\MyFile.bmp"
files[1]= "C:\My Folder\MyFile.bmp"
' Assumes the default printer.
Dim pd As New PrintDocument()
AddHandler pd.PrintPage, AddressOf Me.pd_PrintPage
pd.Print()
Catch ex As Exception
MessageBox.Show("An error occurred while printing", _
ex.ToString())
End Try
End Sub
' Specifies what happens when the PrintPage event is raised.
Private Sub pd_PrintPage(sender As Object, ev As PrintPageEventArgs)
' Draw a picture.
ev.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromFile(files[0]), _
ev.Graphics.VisibleClipBounds)
ev.HasMorePages = True
ev.Graphics.DrawImage(Image.FromFile(files[1]), _
ev.Graphics.VisibleClipBounds)
' Indicate that this is the last page to print.
ev.HasMorePages = False
End Sub

You're trying to print both images to the same page and in the same position. As I mentioned, you must keep track of state so that you print only one image per page or print them in succession. As I also mentioned, PrintPage is fired once per page.
Also, this is the C# forum, not the VB.NET forum. You even mixed C# and VB.NET, which wouldn't work in the same source file (or even the same project if you're using VS.NET as opposed to command-line compiling with two modules in the same assembly).

Like the array index in between calls to your PrintPage event handler. Declare a field, like private int index = 0;. With each call to your PrintPage event handler, use that index to get the image in your array and then increment it so that with the next page to print you grab the next image, and so on.

this is what i tryed and it still does not work
cntfiles is the current page i'm printing i att one to it on each call
pages is the total pages
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(files[cntfiles],System.IO.FileMode.Open,System.IO.FileAccess.Read);
Image newImage = Image.FromStream(fs);
// Create Point for upper-left corner of image.
//Point ulCorner = new Point( 1, 1); //point to start image at
//e.Graphics.DrawImage(newImage, ulCorner);
e.Graphics.DrawImage(newImage, destRect);
fs.Close();
if(cntfiles

Hi All,
For my .NET C# windows application, I am building the installation setup using "Setup & Deployment" project. At the end of installtion it places a shortcut on users's desktop ( the way I want)
But the problem is if I want to specify some command line parameters I right click the shortcut--> go to properties, but what I see is "Target" as non-editable field.
So to specify some command line params I need to go to "Program Files"/"Appl Folder" and create a new shortcut to the excutable to specify command line params.
Any clues as to how I can set property such that at the end of installation the shortcut that installation places on desktop has editable "Target".
Thanks
Ruchi

This is because the Windows Installer projects in VS.NET suck. Trust me - I've worked with Windows Installer for as long as it's been out and the Visual Studio projects are always poor.
It is possible, just not using VS.NET. Good developer environments like Wise for Windows Installer[^] (cheaper, just as capable) and InstallShield Developer[^] (much more expensive, includes proprietary install projects, too) make this a trivial operation.
If you want to do this, you must Orca afterward and modify MSI tables directly.

This property is set when you click the Next button in the folder selection dialog, which also has a radio button group with "Everyone" and "Only you" (or something like that) below the folder selection text box and button. If you want to default that to ALLUSERS = 2 then you'll have to use a tool like Orca (comes with the Windows Installer SDK) to put that property in the Property table.

I need a listbox that contains a variable numbers of images in each row(Only images).
Is there an example of this somewhere, or should i use something else than a listbox?
Each row shall be sorted by the first image, second image, and so on.
Thanks
Thomas

I've never tried this, but it seems simple enough...
You could just put a panel on your form. Turn autoscroll to true and programatically add a picture box to the panel for each picture. If a picture box is off the panel scroll bars will appear (According to the panel documentation).
It may be more efficient to just draw your images to the panel rather than using the picture box, but I am not sure. If you do jsut try drawing the images you will probably have to manage the scroll bars.
