Yes
I have seen it, it says what it is and how to do it, nothing is said about why and where it is required.

It adds a comment to a metafile (.wmf, .emf, and other supported properties). Not that the name implies that or anything.

Since when are comments required in anything?
They're no different from // in C, C++, C#, or REM or ' in Visual Basic.

How do we again read those comments using C#?

You would have to use the Graphics.EnumerateMetafileMethod to playback the metafile records and pick out the Comment type records you want. When you call this method, you have to supply a EnumerateMetafileProc delegate to the function so it can call your record handler with each record in the file. Your record handler wouldhave to pick out the Comments as they were sent to you...

1. I have a class, called 'UserManager'. The UserDataSource propertie is presented below:
///
///
///
public DataSet UserDataSourse
{
get
{
DataSet dataset;
dataset=mLibraryItem.Copy();
return dataset;
}
}
Note: mLibraryItem is a dataset which stores current data of the User.
2. I have a Windows form, form1. I add a combobox to form1 and perform the bind data using the formload event:
usermanager=new UserManager();
comboBox1.DataSource=usermanager.UserDataSourse.Tables["User"];
comboBox1.DisplayMember="UserName";
Result: The number of items in the combox is correct but the Username isn't displayed in the combobox as expected. The System.Data.DataRowView is shown instead
Please advise how to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Uyen Chi

Hi,
I think you have to set first the datatextfield
comboBox1.datatextfield = "UserName";
comboBox1.DataSource=usermanager.UserDataSourse.Tables["User"];
comboBox1.DisplayMember="UserName";
I'm not sure maybe I can help, try it.

Thank dabuskol for your reply.
I have already fixed this bug. The problem is the name of field must be capital

This is because Reflection is used to bind to properties. A property called "name", for example, is different than a property called "Name". While possible, it is a violation of the CLI (Common Language Infrastructure).

Hi.
Can anyone tell me or point me to a HOWTO on making messager-like messageboxes?
A have a win app in which i would like to show some notifications to the user when something occurs, but without disturbing the user.
I want to do this the same way that messenger does it when you fx have a new mail or when some friend logged in.
How do i do this?
\Regards finger

Hi,
I'm just wondering if a class with the [Serializable] attribute could be serialized to an XML file. Whats the easiest way? Where to start reading?
Thanks in advance,
Matthias

The SerializableAttribute has nothing to do with XML Serialization (only Runtime Serialization).
Any class can be serialized using XML Serializer (see the documentation for the XmlSerializer class in the .NET Framework SDK). Only public properties and fields are serialized, however. You can use the XML Serialization attributes (read about the classes in the System.Xml.Serialization namespace), such as the element or attribute name for a property, the data type (if you want to override the default behavior), the namespace of a class or element, etc.
Read the class documentation for the XmlSerializer in the .NET Framework SDK. There are links to a lot of topics in the .NET Framework SDK as well as several good examples and snippets of code.

Hi
Can you send a from to check the problem, please

Unless ScrollAlwaysVisible is set to true, your scroll bar will not appear unless more items than the ListBox can display at a time are present.
If this is not the problem, please be a little more descriptive, such as posting a snippet of relevant code (please do not post the whole thing), describing what you're doing with the ListBox, etc. We can't see your code nor do we know it. Unless you're specific about a problem, we really can't help you.

Most likely your control is being clipped. Make sure that the entire ListBox control is within the client region of the TabPage. If you can resize the TabControl, make sure you set the Anchor or Dock properties for your ListBox accordingly.

Use Alt-Print Scrn.
Then go to MSPaint.
Press Ctrl-V.
Save as desired image format and post it!.

I have a custom class called Invoice, which has a property Customer. This property Contains a reference to a customer class.
I want to bind a combobox to a the list of customers and bind the selected value to my Customer property. How can I do this?

Bind the ComboBox to your Customers property, and set the DisplayMember and ValueMember to the properties for a Customer class that you want to bind:
comboBox1.DisplayMember = "Name";
comboBox1.ValueMember = "ID";
comboBox1.DataSource = someObject.Customers; See the property documentation for the ListControl.DataSource property for more information and an example (ComboBox extends ListControl).
