It's not quite the same effect, but marking your assemblies as CLS-compliant will require you to include all of the necessary references in each project. It may introduce other issues that need to be resolved in your code, but in general CLS-compliance is a good thing, especially for libraries that will be consumed by multiple projects.

Short of that, there is no way to automatically inlcude the references of referenced projects. The best option would be to introduce a post-build event that copies the necessary files or simply include the correct projects as references (even if they aren't used), which can be done whether the assemblies are CLS-compliant or not.

Are you saying that you know for a fact that there is no way, or just that there is no way that you are aware of?

I would be very surprised if there actually was NO WAY of doing it. I doubt the behaviour of the standard .NET libraries is somehow hard-coded into Visual Studio - there has to be a metadata file or something else that causes dependency libraries to be added when the dependent library is referenced.

Is this perhaps standard behaviour for libraries registered in the GAC? I haven't tried adding my libraries to the GAC and then referncing it.

Correct, there is no way to do this. What behavior are you referring to in Visual Studio? If I add a reference to System.Data without already having a reference to System, it doesn't add both references, only the one I specifically told it to add.

Registering the library in the GAC would have no affect on this behavior whatsoever.

Madness I say! Smile | :)

I could swear I've added a reference to a system assembly before and it added more than one reference...but perhaps I'm just delusional.

If I don't reply again, it means I couldn't figure out where I saw that happen...if I figure it out, I'll reply again, lol.

DataGridView.Rows.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor will do that.

I need to print the content of a data grid view.
Now i am using the DGV Printer: DGV Printer Class[^]

But i neet to print only some columns of the data grid view, columns specified by the user.
The DGV Printer prints all the content (all columns), so i can't specify which column must be print. How can i solve this problem ?

Well if simply you want to print some information and to neglect other, the first solution that hits the mind is to process all records and filter out specific columns. Then print that shortened version of information.

DataGridView navigating to Child Rows

Hi there,

I am relatively new to .Net programming. I've been using the DataGrid to display my Datatables and i really like the way you can easily navigate to child rows in child tables that you've set up in the DataRelations.

But the more I used it the more i found out about its drawbacks and came across the DataGridView. This has been introduced since VS2005 and the .Net 2.0 framework. Now it has many appealing new functions which are very useful to me. But so far i have not been able to find a way to navigate as easily as with the DataGrid.

From examples i have found, to relate the DataGridView to a source you have to use the DataBindings class. This all seems like alot more effort than with the DataGrid where you would just set the .DataSource property.

So my question is, "Is there an equivalent to the .NavigateTo() and .NavigateBack() functions of the DataGrid in the DataGridView? If there isn't, has a common practice of achieving similiar results been found?"

I hope to hear from someone soon,

AddInCustomAction not working properly

Hi,

I have write an AddInCustomAction that must be performed before the Installation.
I did something like:

public override void Install(IDictionary stateSaver)
{
   ///
   //here is the code that should run before the installation
   // pseudo code:
   // if (MyFile.txt exist)
   //    remove_file();
   ///

   base.Install(stateSaver);
}

This doesn't work properly.
the file MyFile.txt exists (and so should be removed)
but after installation it still exists!!

Any Idea?

Thanks

You should show your real code - posting pseudocode won't help us solve the issue.

Sorry, Here is the code:

public override Install(IDictionary stateSaver)
{
  String path = this.Context.Parameters["targ"].ToString();
  DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(path);
  foreach (FileInfo f in dir.GetFiles())
  {
    if (f.Name == "MyFile.txt")
      File.Delete(f.FullName);
  }

  base.Install(stateSaver);
}

Something like this:

{
    return DateTime.ParseExact(
        time,
        "h.mmtt",
        CultureInfo.InvariantCulture).ToString("HHmm");
}

What? That's not right.

Are you talking about user input? Why not have the user enter the data in the format you require?

WebBrowser control and Ajax requests

Hello everyone!

I'm using a WebBrowser control in my app to load a page that updates its content dynamically via Ajax. I need to access the updated content to do some processing, but since the calls are made with Ajax the page doesn't get refreshed and thus the DocumentComplete event doesn't fire.
Is there a way to get notified when a call is made using the XMLHttpRequest object? Some event fires maybe?
Any help will be appreciated,
TIA
