Thanks DJ,
But I would like to know how to create a DLL like this by programming in c# and how to contruct the corresponding html also.

See my reply for how to embed HTML files (and other files) in a library, which has nothing to do with C#, BTW.
If you want to know how to construct HTML documents, you best pick up a book on HTML or learn by example and view source for other sites in additional to reading about the tags (don't just guess at what they do). This is not the forum to teach you about writing HTML (it's not considered programming since HTML is not a programming language).

Thanks so much,
I know how to construct a html, but how can I construct a html page
with the dll with that it could launch an application in window ?

You're using "construct" here a little liberally.  Please be specific.
So you know how to construct the HTML page. I told you how to "construct" the DLL that contains the HTML page (same thing applies to images you might want to use in the page). As I mentioned, you can either create a native DLL project, embed the HTML page, then hack the .rc file; or you can open a managed DLL after you've built it (yes - every time after you build it in VS.NET) and embed the HTML with a filename for the ID property. If you use the command-line compiler you can use the /win32res (for csc.exe; /win32resource for vbc.exe) to embed a .rc file. Support for compiling native .rc files at compile-time (and embedding them at link-time) will be added in VS2005.
Now, if your question is how to "construct" (start/execute/etc.) a browse session using this HTML dialog, the answer I gave you already: the res: protocol, which is also documented in the http://msdn.microsoft.com/library[^].
Just like you'd specify a URL to a resource on the web, such as http://www.codeproject.com/index.asp, you'd specify the path to a PE/COFF executable (like a Windows DLL) - or, if the file's parent directory is in your PATH environment variable, just the filename will do - then the path to the resource using either it's name or ID like the following two examples:
res:

page.html is an embedded Win32 resources in a DLL. This does not currently work for embedded manifest resources (i.e., ".NET embedded resources").
You do this by editing your .rc file (VS.NET 7.0 and 7.1 do not support this for managed code; VS 2005 will) or opening your .dll in Visual Studio and adding a resource as an RT_HTML resource. You can also use the command-line compiler (like csc.exe or vbc.exe for C# and VB.NET, respectively) with the /win32res: switch to embed a Win32 resource in your PE/COFF executable.
If you want to refer to the resource by name, you need to manually edit the .rc file and refer to the resource by a string name that is not defined in resource.h (or any header included by your .rc file), like so:
EXAMPLE.HTM HTML "Example.htm" The res: protocol is used to reference Win32 resources (this works for images and every other resources, too), so you simply refer to the DLL by name (if this DLL is in a directory specified in your PATH environment variable, you do not need to specify the path to the DLL) then / plus any directories then / and the resource name, like so:
res: If you have additional questions about hacking .rc files, please refer to the Visual C++ forums.

how do i make installation kit ?
|
|
|
|

There are many ways of creating an installer. You could use the "setup and deployment" project template to create your setup. You could use a third party installer such as Install Shield, Wise, NSIS, etc.
Of course you have not said if it was for a web app or a Windows app. So some things might be a bt different for them, but overall its not that hard to make. Right now I prefer just making a setup project inside of VS and adding it to the solution.
Also if you want the installer to include the .NET redistributable inside of it, there is a plugin from Microsoft to let your setup project include the full .NET setup inside of yours. Each other installer system may or may not be able to include the .NET setup too.

Hi All,
I have a treeView control and i am adding nodes to it dynamically.But i want to save total tree to a Binary Tree Data Structure.I don't know about Binary Tree,So any body knows how to send treeview data to binary tree pls send me the steps and if possible sample code.
thanks

Hi,
I am trying to download a file from server using WebRequest object. The following is my algorithm.
1. Create a WebRequest object
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create(<URL>);
2. Set the method to the request object
req.Method = "GET";
3. Set the current user credentials
req.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
4. Get the response
WebResponse res = req.GetResponse();
5. Get the response stream
Stream inStream - res.GetResponseStream();
6. Save the stream to the local file.
GetReponse takes lot of time and I want to optimize the same. Can anyone suggest me what settings I can make so that I can reduce the time. I will be downloading the files from within the intranet.
Thanks for any suggestions

my suggestions, not much of a solution:
- maybe it's worth trying to use ftp for the files transfer.
- try to use a network sniffer (even windump will do) to see where, and especially when, the delays occur
there are no facts, only interpretations

Thanks for the suggestions. Actually I am downloading the files from Microsoft Share Point Server and the files need to be downloaded using the URL paths. I am not very sure whether ftp supports URLs.

neither am I. But try sniffing the network, this way you'll know if its a server problem, a client problem or a mysterious network problem.

I am myself not a great admirer of this feature and I understand we can still do the needful using interfaces. But I am interested in *technical reasons* why .NET guys decided to omit this feature from .NET  This seems to be a favourite interview question.

Here is a little things that I read recently.
C# offers only single inheritance which means that a class can have only one direct base class. This restriction is actually imposed by the CLR so single inheritance is the rule for all .NET languages. The designers of .NET acknowledge that multiple inheritance is more powerful than single inheritance; however, they decided that the extra complications and ambiguous situations that arise in the presence of multiple base classes were not worth this extra power.

Hey thanks buddy, that’s right. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://www.codeproject.com/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif) I think, I should frame my interview answer as follows:
(1) As one of the core features, .NET platform targets to support multiple languages. The internal constructs of each language compiler to implement MI differ.
(2) The cost of implementing MI (especially due to above mentioned reason) is quite high as MI is relatively rarely used in most OOP designs. For those rare situations, interface based MI, which does not involve much of an overhead and complexities, can be used.
(3) A language or platform supporting MI becomes rather complex from developer as well as the compiler writer perspective because of the confusion involved in casting, member references ambiguity, serializing and so on. .NET aims to be a clean and intuitive platform.
Howz that?

Sounds pretty good. On my last .Net related interview I did not need to answer questions like that. There were some technical questions, but it was mainly system based, like how do you handle this situation on a web server farm.

Oh yeah, oh yeah... Exactly! I would love to hear some real-world stuff like that from those guys.

showing some code (and not triple posting ) would certainly help get you an answer quicker.

i want to syncronizse between windows clock and another device which i test that has its own clock.
i'll read the Real Time Clock Of the device(through RS232) and calculate th offset between them and update the offset to whatever i want
does enyone knows how can i do it?

how does the pc and the device communicate? how do you obtain time from the device? does the device have a "time" or just tick-counts?

Hi all,
I want to write a background application that checks certain conditions periodically at a configurable period (e.g. 10sec). What is the best aproach to acheive this ? by Timer or by a looping thread or other better method ? The background application should consume small CPU power so that it won't affect the applications at the foreground.
Thanks
Patrick
