Hi,
I'm building a very simple mail program, the only required feature is to send mail in html format. That's what i need:
1) A component like a RichTextBox that allows me to edit html files/code in a WYSIWYG way
2) Is there any component that can send a html email with pictures?

Thank u very much,
Dirso

caret position in a being edited Node

How do I set the Position of the caret of a Node in a Treeview that's being edited? There isn't a Select() function available like it is with textboxes

There is nothing in the .NET BCL that will do this. There is no method to call anywhere in the TreeView or TreeViewNode, it's just not supported. I don't even know if the underlying TreeView control that the TreeView class wraps supports it.

You might be able to "fudge it" by getting the handle to the control that holds the text being edited and using the Win32 API SendMessage function call to send it the appropriate messages to position the caret. Don't ask me for details, I can't give them to you. This is all just a theory...

Darn. It seems that the Node Text can't be changed even after that text has been edited. At least it doesn't work when I do this in the AfterLabelEdit-Event because the new Node text gets assigned after this even or something like that

Does WindowsPrincipal or WindowsIdentity behave differently depending on whether the code is running in an Active Directory environment or a non-Active Directory environment? e.g. is a WindowsPrincipal always a WindowsPrincipal in any Windows environment?

Use SelectSingleNode with an XPath to find the node, then set it's value.

Dynamically naming tabs

Hi I'm trying to add tabs so that each one has a name like this:
tabPage 1
tabPage 2
etc

but if many tabs are opened and closed I don't want the number to go high.

This is what I've got so far:

int i = 0;
string index = "tabPage" + Convert.ToString(i);
if (mainTabs.TabPages.Contains(mainTabs.TabPages[index]))
{
string index2 = "tabPage" + Convert.ToString(i + 1);
mainTabs.TabPages.Add(index2);
}

Thanks for your help

So i take it you're adding and removing tabs from the tab control, and you want to reuse numbers that have been removed up until the point of adding a new one? Is this correct? If so, couldn't you do something really simple, like create a collection (I.E. arraylist or something a little less intensive), and add numbers to it as they become available. Then remove them when you reuse them. So, you would just have a removetabpage function that would store the number of the tabpage you're removing, say 55, in an arraylist. When you created a new page, you could simply get the first number in the "discarded number" arraylist, assuming there is one, and remove it from the "discarded number" list. I'm sure someone else will have some answer thats a little more efficient, but I think this would work as a simple solution.

Regex / String formatting question

Hi All,

Question regarding splitting a string:

Let's say I have the following format:

[a-zA-Z]*-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9][A-Z]

or in short form, the split would be:
<s1>-<s2>-<s3><s4><s5>

E.g,
ABC-2-725-XY15A
s1 = ABC-2
s2 = 725
s3 = XY
s4 = 15
s5 = A

Note about s1,
it starts with an alpha character and is followed by any string...
there can be dashes and numbers, but there will never be "-[0-9][0-9][0-9]-" sequence in s1 so you'd know where s2 begins

Does anyone have an idea on how to split in such manner?

Thanks,
-Julian

foreign key

When I use the Fill method of a DataAdapter it creates the table structure in my dataset. It also brings the PrimaryKey information about that table to the dataset. My question is: is there anyway to bring the "foreign key" information about the table columns ? How can I know which columns are foreign keys and to which table they refer ?

thanks

See the DataRelation class in the .NET BCL. It's pretty straight-forward and easy to make a typed DataSet by right-clicking on your project (or a folder under your project, which helps set the default namespace for your source files you add to them) and adding a new type, then choose DataSet. You can even drag and drop tables, views, and stored procedures from the server explorer to create elements (the DataSet designer is, after all, just the XML schema designer) that represent tables, while their elements represent fields. You can create primary keys and draw relationships. When you save this, it serializes using the CodeDomSerializer so that you have source code.

When you use it, instead of using DataSet ds = new DataSet();, for example, you would use MyDataSet ds = new MyDataSet();. That already has typed table and fiend names, as well as relationships established. Note, however, that the DataAdapter derivatives - or rather the command builders like SqlCommandBuilder - don't support auto-generation of complex statements required for updating a data source with changes.

All this is programmatic changes you can do manually, as well. It's most important to read the documentation, but you might also makes a typed DataSet in this manner and examine the source code (click "Project->Show Hidden Files" in the menu to see the source file itself).

Hello,

I don't know exactly how to encode with DivX especially. This[^] shows how to encode a *.mpeg to a *.wmv... If you can find how to encode to DivX, it should be the same kind of work. D'Oh! | :doh:

The capture class encodes a video stream in an *.avi file. DivX is an *.avi file to but encoded with a different codec (You will not gain much quality/space using AVI/DIVX instead of just AVI).
There are some softwares that can create *.avi files with DivX codecs. You can try this one[^] out.

Mridang Agarwal wrote:

With the capture class, you are already encoding a video stream to an *.avi file. It is exactly the same process if you encode it with divX. You should be able to do this

I hope this helps!

Hallo,

if I want to close a network connection, I call the "Close" method in the class "Socket". But how can I close a certain connection (TcpChannel) in .Net Remoting (especially on client side)

My second question is, how it is possible to delete a remote object (again on client side)

Thanks for your help,
Björn

You can use the TcpChannel.StopListening() method. Any published MarshalByRefObjects can be disconnected via a call to RemotingServices.Disconnect(marshalByRefObj);
