BCM will not
work with any .net framework other than the one used in its development.

I have created a COM object by wrappiing a .NET assembly using tlbexp. This assembly is dependent on another assembly which, in turn, is dependent on two third party assemblies (I can't rebuild them and give them "strong names"). How can I deploy these dependent assemblies (DLLs)so that the COM object will work?

Actually, you can. Use ildasm.exe to disassemble, and then ilasm.exe to reassemble:
ildasm /out:test.il unsigned.exe<br />
ilasm /resource=test.res /output=signed.exe /key=test.snk test.il
In any case, as long as you deploy everything to the same directory, it should work fine, even without strong naming.

I would be happy to deploy everything in the same directory. The problem is that I don't know which directory use. The main DLL (DLL_1), and the only one whose classes I wish to expose, has been registered by REGASM and is accessible to unmanaged code. Not being a "second generation" MS programmer, I don't know much about the registry -- except that the methods exposed by DLL_1 are visible using regedit -- but not DLL_1's physical location. I have placed copies of the other DLLs in various places (e.g. a) the bin directory of DLL_1's project and b) the directory that contains the copy of DLL_1 that was "REGASMed") without success.
Any help making up for my generation2 deficiencies (Gen 2 > DOS and < .NET) would be greatly appreciated.
By the way, do you think it will take ten years for Generation 2 to die? (I wrote DOS code in early 2003 and Generation 2 started in 1993).

If you use the /codebase option of regasm.exe, then the registry will contain the path to that dll.
If the other DLLs are .NET dlls then they can be in the same directory as DLL_1, and DLL_1 should find them fine.

I'm trying to simply print some text, along with one or more illustrations. The illustrations print fine, and the text does as well, as long as the font is huge.
I've tested this bug using sizes 73, 60, 50, 30, 20, and 10, and all sizes smaller than 50 appear as random characters. I've used both times new roman and Arial font families with identical results. Does anyone know why it is doing this?
I'm using C# in a windows forms application. Any Ideas?

hi,
I wrote an article for the same. But i forgot the discusson group where i kept that. but still i have that source which will help you to print your page and content while keeping the font size in mind.
private void menuItem6_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
PrintDia=new PrintDialog();
PrintDia.Document=printDocument1;
string content=this.Editor.Text;
StrReader=new StringReader(content);
if(PrintDia.ShowDialog()==DialogResult.OK)
{
this.printDocument1.Print();
}
}
catch(Exception Ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(Ex.Message.ToString());
}
}
private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
try
{
float Lines_Per_Page = 0;
float Y_Position = 0;
int Count = 0;
float Left_Margin = e.MarginBounds.Left;
float Top_Margin = e.MarginBounds.Top;
string Line = null;
Font fnt = Editor.Font;
SolidBrush Solid = new SolidBrush(Color.Black);
Lines_Per_Page=e.MarginBounds.Height/Font.GetHeight(e.Graphics);
while(Count < Lines_Per_Page && ((Line=StrReader.ReadLine())!=null ))
{
// calculate the next line position based on
// the height of the font according to the printing device
Y_Position =Top_Margin + (Count * fnt.GetHeight(e.Graphics));
// draw the next line in the rich edit control
e.Graphics.DrawString(Line ,fnt ,Solid ,Left_Margin ,Y_Position ,new StringFormat());
Count++;
}
if(Line !=null)
e.HasMorePages=true;
else
e.HasMorePages=false;
}
catch(Exception Ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(Ex.Message.ToString());
}
}
private void menuItem4_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
try
{
string Content=Editor.Text;
StrReader = new StringReader(Content);
PrintPreviewDialog Print_Preview=new PrintPreviewDialog();
Print_Preview.Document=printDocument1;
Print_Preview.ShowDialog();
}
catch(Exception Ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(Ex.Message.ToString());
}
}

Thanks, but my main issue has to do with beintg able to specify a particular font family and size without it appearing as gibberish. I don't need to worry about line spacing or anything like that. The text I'm printing is essentialy captions for a picture. The text displays perfectly at sizes of 50 points or higher, but immediately turns to random characters at smaller sizes.

Maybe I am just over fussy, but I would like to exactly replicate the OS Font when ownerdrawing a control. I have looked at the examples on CodeProject and the Web and all of them seem to fail to correctly render.
To demonstrate this try,
Create a new windows form application, and set the form to Tahoma.
Add a standard label, Textbox or other control, and set it to be FlatStyle=System. Set it's .Text to be "Debug"
Then add a new user control, override the OnPaint and Drawstring("Debug"...);
You will notice that the D and e have a different spacing and also that the final point of the e raises on the Drawstring text. (Use the XP magnifier or download the taskbar magnifier from MS powertools to see it more easily).
I have so far tried:
StringFormat, SmoothingMode, InterpolationMode and TextRenderingHint and yet I have failed to have much effect.
Does anybody have the answer?

Hi
I am in the need to develop a .net component that can communicate two different sql server databases. These two servers are physically different location. That .net application will be in server A and it update some data into Server B located in some other place.
Can any one help me to develop database connectivity in either VB.net or C#.NET?

The SqlConnection object will take a connection string that gives the name of the server. All you need to do is ensure that your .NET component can see both databases. There is nothing different involved from connecting normally.
Do you want to know more?

Can any one help me to understand 'What is 'Thread Safe' in .Net?

Please help me to understand this.!

When you have more than one thread accessing the same object then problems can arise, mostly due to the scheduling performed by the OS.
One thread can start modifying the object and before it's done another thread gets permission to run and will work on inconsistent data.
In this respect, such an object would be not thread safe.
Because implementing a thread safe object can be quite tricky and can include some overhead, not many classes in the framework are really thread-safe.
For a not thread safe class, the developer has to take care that the same object cannot be used by two threads at the same time.

mav

you're welcome.
The problem with threads is that it's very easy to forget that they're there...
Recently I've stumbled across a problem where a customer called and complained about an error message in on of my programs saying that an enumeration cannot be modified within a foreach loop.
I was completely stumped because I had taken explicit care that I'm not removing items from a hashtable I was working with in a foreach, but still this error occurred.
After a while it dawned on me: I had a timer that was checking the entries in the hashtable and this function worked flawless. But I also had a FileSystemWatcher set up that was adding entries to the hashtable. And when this occurred just when the timer callback was running this error occurred. 
Luckily, putting a lock(_myHashtable) { ... } here and there solved the problem quickly.

Hi everybody, Am in great trouble.
I have a project MyApp.exe which is a big project. It has some 20-30 dll dependencies on it. The resource (including dialog boxes) is in a separate dll. This project had been developed in VC6 previously and hs now been ported to .NET. Its running fine.
The thing is, I want to make the dialog boxes appear with the Windows XP visual style. So, when an user selects Windows XP style from Control Panel->Appearance tab, the appearance of the dialogs should change too. It must not have the classic style appearance.
For this, I have followed the methods outlined in MSDN site. I am giving the links too.
1) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnwxp/html/xptheming.asp
2) http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/userex/cookbook.asp
Th process given above works fine for a simple dialog-based project.
But, where, even the resource is in a separate dll, there, it doesn't work.
PLEASE DO GIVE ME ANY FEEDBACK OR SUGGESTIONS ASAP.
