Try SharpDevelop, it will generally open VS project/solution files and it's free and good.

Thanks, I will look at that.
However the original project was for VC#2008 so i am hoping i can resolve the problem (with help).

Can you post the errors here? Or a screenshot?
Alternatively, you can try opening it with VS2010.

The actual error message is two lines, " The project file "C:\ <path> \ Dr. Dobb's Challenge2.csproj' cannot be opened" followed by "The project type is not supported by this installation"

Could you actually post the link to the download? If you do, I'll download it and take a look later on tonight.

I downloaded it some months back. The zip DDC2.zip is 3Mb so i don't think i can post it here
|

Just the link to the original if you can find it. My suspicion is that it supports solution folders (which would indicate this is a VS Pro or above version) and you have an express edition. Alternatively, there is content in there such as C++ or VB.NET and you are using a language specific edition (e.g. Visual C# Express 2008).

I'll look tonight but suspect i no longer have a link.
Can I mail you the zip ??
|
|
|
|

I don't give out my mail anymore - I got inundated with people requesting WPF help from here on CP.
|
|
|
|
|
Understood, thanks.
I will look tonight to see if I have a link, but the more I think about it, I believe I downloaded it from DrDobbs or Gamasutra.

I found a link to an advert for it, and it seems to indicate that a full version of Visual Studio is required. I'll pretty much guarantee that it's using Solution Folders, which you can't use in the Express editions.

Interesting, but alas I only have the Express version. I thought that when i downloaded it, it included links to Silverlight and Visual Studio Express 2008. However, as an open competition, I would have expected the free Express version.
Thanks for your thoughts, i will keep digging.

According to this MSDN blog it was the free trial version, but that could have been the time limited full trial i guess. I will see if i can still download it. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/silverlight/archive/2009/04/20/dr-dobb-s-challenge-deuce-play-modify-win.aspx

Alas, I downloaded Visual Studio 2008 Pro 90 day trial but i get the same result when attempting to load the project. I think i need to abandon this. Read the source code, keep the resource files and recreate something from scratch.
|
|
|
|
|
the source code references www.dobbschallenge2.com but that is a dead link that opens the main Dr Dobbs web page.

I think the suggestion for Sharp Develop which is available free from Codeplex website is your alternative. It looks and feels alot like VS and you won't be disappointed. Try it out at least to see if you can open the solution for the young programmer. If it doesn't work you can always uninstall it.

I'm having trouble getting the different line weight. Let's say to have cells from A1 to A3... I would like to have the border to be medium weight continuous line around this range, while having the hairline hortizontal line inside.
This is what I have:
xlRange = (Excel.Range)xlWorkSheet.get_Range(Cell_1, Cell_2);
xlRange.Borders.Weight = Excel.XlBorderWeight.xlMedium;
xlRange.Borders[Excel.XlBordersIndex.xlEdgeBottom].LineStyle = Excel.XlLineStyle.xlContinuous;
xlRange.Borders[Excel.XlBordersIndex.xlEdgeLeft].LineStyle = Excel.XlLineStyle.xlContinuous;
xlRange.Borders[Excel.XlBordersIndex.xlEdgeTop].LineStyle = Excel.XlLineStyle.xlContinuous;
xlRange.Borders[Excel.XlBordersIndex.xlEdgeRight].LineStyle = Excel.XlLineStyle.xlContinuous;
xlRange.Borders.Weight = Excel.XlBorderWeight.xlHairline;
xlRange.Borders[Excel.XlBordersIndex.xlInsideHorizontal].LineStyle = Excel.XlLineStyle.xlContinuous;
I got hairline weight continuous line in this on around each cell in this range... huh?

these are the two weights I want... the medium would go around the range of cells, while the hairline is inside horizontal lines. I wish I could post an illustration in this post as an example.

|

argh! I found this info from online source... I will try to make this change. for the medium border around the ranged cells... I should have used "Range.BorderAround()".

Consider a larger picture. Suppose I have class A,B,C.
Class A contains property B and class B contains property C and class C have some properties. How will I access properties of C. I need to know a generic solution. Now suppose I start from A as rootNode in tree structure and propertyGrid.SelectedObject = A, how will I access properties of class C.
In real world context suppose I need to find "x" using property grid and tree structure. The output should highlight x and its value in propertygrid.
sample code::
Class A
{
B b { get; set;}
}
Class B
{
C c { get; set;}
}
Class C
{
int x { get; set;}
float y { get; set;}
string z { get; set;}
}
int main()
{
A a = new A();
propertyGrid.SelectedObject = a;
}
How will I access x,y,z name and value using propertygrid.
I am stuck here, please help.

You would start by going back over your class notes to see how the instructor has taught you to do it. Then you make an attempt at your own homework. When that fails, show us what you have done and we'll walk you through the solution.
Cheers.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

Maybe I did not explained the question properly. I am not a beginner n C#  i am not looking for answer a.B.C.x etc to access the value. I want the answer in tree and propertygrid perspective.
I have a form with tree structure on left side and property grid on right side. When I load the form by adding object A to tree structure I can see the properties in propertygrid on right hand side, that is fine. I can see B,C and x,y,z and I can modify it. That is fine too. Now I want to add a menu option like visual studio "Find" to find the name or value based on the search condition. So in my example I want to search name "x" in the tree. The output should highlight x and show its value in the property grid.
I tried to use propertydescriptor to get properties of A, so it gives me I have property B but how can I access class C and its property dynamically. Let me know if my problem is not clear.
