Hi,

I have the below code in a cs file (and it function perfect). But I know, I have to use that code in other files two. So I want to place the code in a Class file (cs file in App_Code dir).

I don't know what I shall do, so I can re-use the code in all the files I want. Can anyone show by example what to do - and how I use ind a file?

My code:

public String sortExpression<br />
    {<br />
        get<br />
        {<br />
            if (ViewState["sortExpression"] == null)<br />
            {<br />
                ViewState["sortExpression"] = Convert.ToString(grdEmployeeList.Columns[0].SortExpression);<br />
            }<br />
            return Convert.ToString(ViewState["sortExpression"]);<br />
        }<br />
        set<br />
        {<br />
            ViewState["sortExpression"] = value;<br />
        }<br />
    }

If I put the code directly into the Class file, I get an error, that ViewState is unknown.....

Kind regards,
simsen Smile | :)

I don't know what is a ViewState

But i know it belongs to refrence( using ...)

Maybe u forgat it.

You need to add a using statement at the top of your new program,
that refers to the namespace which ViewState belongs to.

1) ViewState is serialized and can contain serializable types. Do not convert to string. Use: ViewState["w/e"] = someObject directly.

2) Create a base page that inherits from page then you can reuse the code.

Hi Ennis,

How do I create a base page that inherits from page. I now tried to search at google, and I cann't figure out to replace the expamples with my code?

Re: A few things

in App_Code:

public class MyPageBase : System.Web.UI.Page {

    public string ViewStateItem{
        get{
            return (string)ViewState["someViewStateItem"];
        }
        set{
            ViewState["someViewStateItem"] = value;
        }
    }
}

In your Web project

public class SomeWebPage : MyPageBase { ... }

        get { return (string)ViewState["someViewStateItem"]; } <br />
        set { ViewState["someViewStateItem"] = value; } <br />
    }<br />
}

And the page where I want to inherith:

public partial class ERS_Adm_AdmFrontPage : ERSPageBase<br />
{<br />
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
    {

The error sais:

Error 1 The name 'ViewState' does not exist in the current context C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ANSI\App_Code\ERSPageBase.cs 24 30 C:\...\ANSI\

As you can see, I am using the page directive UI as I read I shall use regarding ViewState

Look really close at your definition of ERSPageBase. There is something missing that is not missing from my sample.

TreeView.SelectedNode.FullPath problem

Hi,

I have a form which must act like a custom directory browser.
Now my code has one NodeMouseClick event which is handling 2 actions when selecting a TreeView Node:

1)Build the Items for the ListView (this works)
2)Show the Full path of the Selected Node in a StatusBar

In my Code 2) (bold lines) returns the path of the previous clicked Node!!!....Has anyone an idea what is wrong??

  // This is the Projects Path which is set in the Menu_Settings.cs file (an application setting)<br />
        string sProjectsPath = global::Offshore_Supports_Menu.Properties.Settings.Default.Projects_Dir;<br />
<br />

        // The "New Project" forms should store the user input data in somekind of project file. like an *.INI file<br />
        // This *.INI file is loaded into the ProjectWindow.cs to view a custom explorer of the existing<br />
        // or new generated typical project directory tree.<br />
        // For testing purposes I typed a directory name "10.0159 Ormen Lange";<br />

Hi,
I suggest that you read through the full list of events that are available for the treeview control. There are so many it can be difficult to choose the correct one for any given situation but once you realise that the mouse events aren't needed for simple navigation and selection then you'll be on your way.

The click event is the one of the first to arrive and is at too low a level for your requirement. Instead respond to the AfterSelect event which arrives only after the node you want is fully selected.

When your code responds to the NodeMouseClick event the node you have just clicked is not yet selected which is why SelectedNode gets what appears to be the previous node. The eventargs e.Node which you pick up as newSelected will refer to the clicked upon node but like I said respond to AfterSelect and your code will do what you want it to.

One last thing, SelectedNode.IsSelected == true, can be removed from your code as by definition the SelectedNode is selected. OK I'm just being picky, you probably put that in to try and figure what had gone wrong!

Hope that helps, Alan.

No, as this is not a server version of Windows, the IIS is limited to ten users.

IIRC, you can hack the registry so that IIS allows 39 users, but above that the system becomes instable.

Add/Remove Windows Fonts Programmatically

Hi All,

I am working on project that involves adding/removing fonts in Windows\Fonts, I already tried the follwing steps programmatically:

1. Delete from registry

regkey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Fonts", True)

regkey.DeleteValue(s)

2. Delete from C:\Windows\Fonts\

Above steps does not work, it only removes the entry of the font in the registry but I was not able to delete the fonts in C:\Windows\Fonts\

Any Idea how to solve this problem of mine? any help will surely be appreciated Smile | :)

If you can't provide any more specific information than "it's still not working" I am done helping you. On the link I previously gave you... at the bottom there is a "See Also" section with a "Fonts and Text Overview" link. I strongly suggest you read the documentation.

Hi,

I already read the documentation, sorry if you misunderstood my question that you became a "Mind Reader". Fonts and Text Overview are for project resources I don't know if you are aware of the topic I have posted "Add/Remove Windows Fonts Programmatically" what I am trying to do is actually removing fonts from the Windows Fonts table and not those that I want to add in my project and remove afterwards I am done using it.

To explain further here is what my project requirements are:

1. A watch folder in a network drive has been setup where users can add and remove fonts for global use.
2. My application is installed in multiple work stations inside Local Areak Network and will be watching #1, if there are fonts in the watch folder that does not exist in their local machine, my application should add it (this part is already working perfectly fine)

If somebody delete fonts in the watch folder, what my application would do is send out a notification to all users that a font has been deleted from the watch folder "AND IT SHOULD DELETE THE LOCAL MACHINE FONT (Windows Font)" as well.

I hope that by giving this requirements you'll understand what I am trying to achive and that what you suggested is totally out of line co'z "Fonts and Text" focus on your Visual Studio Project Resources and not the Windows Font Environtment.

Thanks/Regards

Depends on your definition of "working fine". Based on your post I doubt you used AddFontResource to do that so I would not consider it "working fine".
