No, you can't do that with FolderBrowseDialog. Like I said, it wraps the SHBrowseForFolder Shell API. You should've read about that for more information.
If you're trying to make the umpteenth million Windows Explorer "replacement", you're definitely going to spend most of your time re-declaring unmanaged structs, interfaces, and P/Invoking lots of unmanaged APIs. The link mayasm gave you only shows yet another way to use a function that brings up the same (or very similar - in terms of implementation) dialog that SHBrowseForFolder does, only the latter API encapsulates all the ITEMIDLISTs and what-not, saving the caller a lot of work.
There was an article a long time ago I read either here on CodeProject or on MSDN[^] that discussed a way to do this. You might try searching google.

Hello again 
hehe, I'm not trying to do the tenthmilion windows explorer replancement =) I'm trying to make an basic code editor for html,css and other things. And for that I need an easy way of browsing folders and selecting files to open and do other stuff like renaming, deleating, etc.
I've found a control att windowsforms.com called Hypercode FileList and FolderTree, these seams to work but they don't have the xp look automaticly. Maybe they change if i add a manifest as described in some article here on codeproject, but I don't know.
That explains a little more what I'm trying to do and what I'm searching for? =)
Well, Thanks again for all the answers and thoughts!

Hi
I am trying to write an application that makes calls to the crypt32.dll. I have been able to do this with some other functions within this dll, but I am having problems with the CertVerifyRevocation function. Does anybody have any sample code for calling this function from C# code. I have tralled the forums and message boards of many places but have failed to find a concrete example.
Thanks,
Jamie.

WHy don't you use .net framework classes for cryprtography? Well, if you couldn't find how to use that function , you can write a managed C++ dll and use it in C#.

While Mazdak's reply (use the System.Security.Cryptography classes) would normally apply, I realize that the current .NET FCL does not include information for cert revocation lists and verify them.
If you need to call functions defined in the crypt32.dll library, you need to P/Invoke them, so a good working knowledge of how types map between unmanaged and managed code (like knowing that an unmanaged LONG is a managed int (System.Int32) is necessary.
While the P/Invoke method declaration is easy, there is a heck of a lot of structures to re-declare in managed code, and the marshaller does not support marshalling nested structs, so you're pretty much stuck. As Mazdak recommened, write a mixed-mode MC++ (Managed C++ extensions) that use the native APIs and provide a managed class wrapper - it'll be MUCH easier than the alternative!

thanks for your reply.
You are probably correct in saying that using managed C++ extensions would be easier, but I haven't looked at MC++ enough to know that. The problem is that there is already a sizeable part that has already been written (by other people) that uses calls into the crypt32.dll and the amount of effort and time to change the existing code would be much greater than carrying on in this manner, because adding the call to CertVerifyRevocation is the only extension to the current implementation.
What I was looking for were some resources to explain the mapping of types between managed and unmanaged code, and how to manage memory correctly to use the unmanaged functions (IntPtr usage, Marshalling memory etc...)
Thanks.
Jamie.

A lot of this just comes with experience with both unmanaged and managed languages. You can read Platform Invoke Data Types[^] in the .NET Framework SDK, but you need to read through that whole Interoperating with Unmanaged Code[^] section to really understand it (and experience, again).
Like I said before, the CertVerifyRevocation accepts one struct but this struct, in turn, uses many levels of nested structs, which the marshallers that the CLR implements/uses does not support. One solution would be to flatten the structures, but you must make sure that each struct's cbSize (as it's typically called - just the size of the struct in bytes) is still set so that only that amount of memory is read as the struct.

I want to let the decision tree accepts string varaibles as a target but the problem that the ID3 algorithm only accepts boolean varaibles as a target by default so i want to now how to overcome this problem
Cherif

Why don't you try the message board on the article, ID3 Decision Tree in C#[^]? I've already tried ponting you toward the solution, but if you have a specific problem with article content then you should ask on that article's message board.
If you've asked this question far too many times and noticed that you haven't always got the reply you wanted, which probably indicates the regulars here that are answering the questions are not familiar with the ID3 decision tree algorithm. If you have a specific problem doing something in C# that doesn't relate to that algorithm, then this is the place to ask.
Finally, I did reply to your email with a simple solution: define the property as a string property. If you need to convert a boolean to a string, then simply use the ToString method. There's also lots of other classes and methods that can help you convert from one to the other and it's all documented in the .NET Framework SDK, like the Convert class.

How can I implement in C# a structure similar to that of Windows Explorer (the tree structure) but using other elements than directories and files.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
Best regards,

I am assuming you mean a user interface structure (control).
The System.Windows.Forms.TreeView provides this functionality.

Hello, Sir and Madam
Please help me design a database for world soccer.
World soccer has many tournaments, teams and players.
One team stay in more than one tournament.
One player can transfer from a team to the other.
Also thinking about red card, yellow card, goal, player position, club team, country team, etc.
Thank You.
Sorry for bad English.

Is this a homework question???
You should design the initial database yourself. If you are still having problems post a more specific question along with the part of the design that is causing problems and maybe someone will help let you know how to correct any problems.
At the moment, your question is also too vague: "Also thinking about red card, yellow card, goal, player position, club team, country team, etc."

I mean database structure, tables and relations
This is not homework.
Thank You.
|
|

Okay, I realise you mean structure, tables and relations. The number of objects you mention is quite large, also not every one is an expert on football (soccer) so you really need to explain the rules of how each of these objects relate to each other. The explanation will help you understand the relations better your self.
As a starting point:
A team has many players
A team plays in many tournaments
A tournament has many teams
A player can play for many teams (are you including international teams?)
From this small subset we can create a structure like:
+------------+ +------+ +--------+
| |\ /| |\ /| |
| Tournament |-----| Team |-----| Player |
| |/ \| |/ \| |
+------------+ +------+ +--------+
Now, most relational database systems don't accept a many-to-many joins directly so these m2m joins have to be expanded:
+------------+ +----------------+ +------+
| | /| |\ | |
| Tournament |-----| TournamentTeam |-----| Team |
| | \| |/ | |
+------------+ +----------------+ +------+
So the keys on your the above tables are:
Tournament: TournamentID
TournamentTeam: TournamentID, TeamID
Team: TeamID
The TournamentTeam Table contains a composite primary key (i.e. one that is made up of more than one field). It also contains two foreign keys TournamentID to link to the tournament table and TeamID to link to the Team table.
Does this help you get started?

Hi,
How do I set background color for status bar?
Direct property not available.
Thankx

You'll have to paint the StatusBar or StatusBarPanel (whichever you use) yourself. See the StatusBar.DrawItem event documentation in the .NET Framework SDK.

hai there,
In my project i have a user control that will display colordialogbox.
At a time user will create n- number of usercontrol and will choose different color for all different control. the color may defined or custom. My aim is to store all selected color to database.
How it is possible.
See, some times i will get user selected colors as Red,green,Blue etc. why because these colors are in color struct.
but if i choose color that is not in color struct that will give some values like this [A122,R=654,G=232 B=233]. How can i convert this values to meaningfull names that end user can identifiy easily ?
hai, feel free to contact

You could use int myIntColour = System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.ToWin32(myColour); to convert the colour to an int and store that value in the database. You can then use System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromWin32(myIntColour); to convert back to a .NET object

If the colour is not already available as a named colour then you'll either have to make up some names yourself (a big task as there are 16.7million possible combinations) or get the user to name their own custom colours.

First of all, you can't use 654 for the red component. The only legal values are 0 through 255. Second, you should use a color picker - which many are available from this site and there is a way to use the ColorEditor that you see in the PropertyGrid for color properties like ForeColor and BackColor - which makes it easy for a user to pick a color. If you want to name these colors as Colin mentioned you'll have problems since the Color methods don't support user-defined names, so you'll have to come up with your own implementation, such as implementing read-only properties with pre-defined Color instances like the named colors already on the Color struct.

I have a listbox.
I want to get the selected item of the list and assign it as a hatchstyle to a variable
ie. hatchstyle = listbox selected item
please help
"joel"

See Enum.Parse. Assuming your ListBox contains a list of strings with corresponding HatchStyle enum member names, you can use something like this:
string value = listBox1.SelectedItem as string;
if (value != null)
{
try
{
HatchStyle hs = Enum.Parse(typeof(HatchStyle), value);
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Invalid hatch style!");
}
}
