Sorry, bit wrong...

RichTextBox1.Text = RichTextBox1.Text.Insert(icurpos, "smile");
RichTextBox1.SelectionStart = icurpos + "smile".Length;
RichTextBox1.SelectionLength = 0;

...that should work better

Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday.

Hi folks,
some items in checkedlistbox for example the item will be like this (Kishore) kishore@gmail.com
i had a string kishore@gmail.com i have to compare this string with the item in checkedlistbox i have completed this but iam getting a error

"List that this enumerator is bound to has been modified. An enumerator can only be used if the list does not change."

Code:
if (checkedListBox_MailLst.Items.Count > 0)
foreach (string item in checkedListBox_MailLst.Items)
{
string mailItem=item;
checklistItem = mailItem.Split(' ');
foreach (string mailId in myMail)
{
if (checklistItem[2].ToString() == mailId)
if(checkedListBox_MailLst.Items.Contains
(mailItem))
{
int selectedItemIndex = checkedListBox_MailLst.Items.IndexOf(mailItem);
checkedListBox_MailLst.SetItemCheckState(selectedItemIndex, CheckState.Checked);
}
}
}

You can't modify what you're enumerating over. If you think about it, and the possible disasterous results if you could, it makes sense!.

What you can do is flag or store whatever needs modifying, and do the change afterwards. If you no longer need to keep testing, you can use break to exit imediately.

0. Remove the email address from your example unless you really *like* special devices for the decerning gentleman.
1. Compare strings using string1.Equals(string2), string1 == string2 is just comparing that the objects are the same (the same reference) not that the contents are the same.

creating services in C#.NET

Hello all,

I am trying to develop an application which will record user login information in a database at the time any user logs into the system that is connected in a network (basically a LAN network, the information will be stored at the server).... his details like user name and login time will be fetched from registry details i suppose..... but i am not able to figure out a way of getting those events and locations in the registry using C#.net....... i believe i need to create a service application for this(as there won't be any interaction with the end-user) but i am quite new to these kinds of technologies........ For the past couple of days i have been searching on net for some articles related to design services and fetching such values in .net. but haven't got any simple documentation !!!!

Please help me with this in understanding the concept step by step as this is quite an urgency for me....... your help is heighly awaited

Thanks
Sujay

To create a service, just use the wizard of Visual Studio.
For example, you are creating MyService.exe. After compiling, you can install it using "installutil MyService.exe".
Then you can start/stop/restart it in service window. To uninstall it using "installutil /u MyService.exe".

To get user information, use : Environment.UserName

Managing another .exe from code

I have a .exe file which i need to run before my application got loaded,
So i am using Process class. Creating new process and running this exe and after this running my application.

I have few question :

a)Can we embed an .exe file in our Application(exe) file, and run that from inside? If yes, then how?

b)When we create setup project, there we specify "which files we put where", like in system folder, program folder etc. But i want to put a file inside driver folder present in system32 folder. how can we do this?

A detailed article would be great. I read/googled few article but they are not that in detail. Or i unable to search good one $Shucks | :-\$

c)How can we manipulate registry in setup projects, related to setup and deployements?

I am using vs2003, c#.

regards Smile | :)

a) I fear there is not an easy way to do this. You can try to add the exe to the project as a biinary resource, then, at runtime, write it in a temporary folder and execute it using Process.Start.
b) In the File System Editor of your setup project, right-clicking on "File System on Target Machine", you can select Add Special Folder->System Folder.
c) Setup projects have a Registry Editor that can be used to write registry keys during setup.

a) It's not the same, but you are doing it the right way. I tought you wanted to embed an existing executable into yours.
b) Just add a directory called driver under the System one. If this directory exists, the setup will copy filed into it.
c) Well is not difficult: you add keys and value in a tree view just like you do for the file system.
In any case, there is a Code Project article on how to create setups.

Wierd - it works for me. Search your project for ShowInTaskbar = false - it's possible that the setting in the designer file is being overridden elsewhere.
