Windows Forms Discussion Boards

Can anyone post a small wpf project with a simple database table having SAP crystal report? Project must be made in visual studio 2010.Thanks to all.

This is not a valid question, no one is going to provide you with a working project on demand. Go and search the CodeProject articles[^] for sampl tutorials and code.

One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

I'm working on an existing WinForms application and I am having some weird issues with Infragistics controls in a WinForms app.

When I open a form or usercontrol in the project that has Infragistics controls on it, it looks like this.[^].

I cannot access any of the controls in the design surface. Clicking does nothing. And, all of the controls appear in the lower area.

So I created a new test solution and dropped some Infragisstics controls on and got this[^].

Anyone know what's going on?

If it's not broken, fix it until it is

You paid big $ for Infragistics; why not use their support forums for this type of question.

I'd try and help, but I don't use Infragistics controls.

best, Bill

Hi
I need some pointer withe following process

1) having a .bat file kicked off by the creation or the
Change whitin a .txt file

2) the bat file will then cut the data whitin it
And paste it on excel worksheet

Any pointers with this or what technology to
Look at e.g object linking (I think object linking
Invokes Microsoft products)

Would be helpfully

Thanks in advance

Sure you can invoke Excel trough a batch file but you would not be able to interact with the Excel instance. This sounds more like you want a regular application using a FileSystemWatcher and Excel interop. Or, you might be able to do this from a PowerShell script.

For Excel Interop do I need VIsual Studio

Well you certainly need some compiled program.

Is there any way to convert .docx to .pdf, if MS Office not installed on machine??

Yes, install and use OpenOffice

Hello Andrei,

Thanks for your reply.

Could you please provide me some example??

Thanks In Advance.....

No, there are a few well documented ones on the Internet. Google is your friend

I've got a datagridview with a column header row and some content rows that have top borders, and some content rows that don't.

When I scroll the grid, rows that have a top border don't collapse into the column header border and I end up with a double border.

What's the easiest way to collapse the border being scrolled either up or down? (Some events fire in only one direction).

I'm working with an Infragistics UltraGrid. The Add Row "*" thing is not appearing. Anyone know how to get this to show up?

There are two solutions given here[^]. One of them might help you.

Hello Sir/Mam
I'm trying connect sql server 2000 in windows service with other system on same network.
there are 4 system connected without any problem. But on other 4 system, it is giving error
on connection open while starting windows service. The error is: "the service on local computer started and then stopped some services stop automatically" etc. Same Connection string working in web service
without any error. But giving problem in Window Service. Is there any Configuration setting of that server or sql server 2000. Any help will be highly appreciated.........

Are you, by any chance, using a trusted connection? When you install a service it, by default, is installed using a specific account - and that account might not be trusted by your database.

Could be that, could be a firewall, could be something else.

Before trying to fix it though I'd introduce a minimum of logging in the service so in future you don't have to stare blindly at that nearly information-free message: "the service started, and then stopped unexpectedly".

It's also nice to have the ability to debug service initialization. To do this, introduce a config setting and put a method like this into your service class:

C#

static void AwaitDebugger()
{
    string s = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["debug"];
    if (s == null || s.ToLower() != "true") return;

    DateTime until = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(30);
    while (DateTime.Now < until && !Debugger.IsAttached)
        Thread.Sleep(50);
            
    if (Debugger.IsAttached)
        Debugger.Break();
}

Now in the service main thread, just insert a call to this method before doing anything else. (Not in the start method that probably simply starts the main thread; you want this method to return immediately as before. But in the thread it starts, you want to wait for a debugger to attach if so configured.) Build, deploy, and debug!

You might want to tell the OP this. I already know how to do this.

Hi,

Docking is quite useful in creating UI's, but when you Dock something: the "Margin" property settings of what you Dock are ignored.

In the past, I've created several types of UI's where an "outer" Panel's ControlCollection consists solely of identical "inner" Panels, all of the same type.

Setting all these "inner Panels" to Dock = Top, or whatever is very useful, but they will all be "jammed together" visually: Any Margin.Top or Margin.Top settings of these inner Panels will be ignored.

So far, my strategy for creating a better visual experience has been to use UserControls, not "raw" Panels, for the inner things-that-act-like-Panels:

Each UserControl has an "inner" Panel inside an "outer" Panel. Both these have Dock set to 'Fill. By setting the background color of the outer Panel to the same color as its outermost Panel, "the host," and then setting the Padding property of the outer Panel in the UserControl to offset the differently colored inner Panel of the UC:

Then, when they get all "jammed together" by docking, you can at least simulate a nice visual effect of space between the Docked inner Panels.

A logical question for you to be asking right now is: why not just set the UserControl BackColor to the same color as its host container, and have only one Panel in the UC: while I have done this, the simple answer is that I prefer the more fine-grained control possible (I can create fancier visual effects), by having outer/inner Panels in the UC.

I wonder if there is a simpler way to approach this ?

I guess in an ideal world ... hah ... we could have an over-load of the Dock mechanism, that you would pass a bool into with a name like "respectMarginSettings" Smile | :)

Should I add some links to "before" and "after" small .jpg screen-shots to this question, to make crystal-clear the visual results I am talking about ?

best, Bill

I find your question confusing, because I can't recall having seen a single Windows Forms control where the Margin settings actually produce any effect. I've always had to reach for Padding instead. But this does lead to just a quick suggestion: try to use padding instead, and let us know if that works.

This maybe academic but here goes anyway...

I'm drawing custom borders for a datagridview in the datagridview's paint event, the one in a Windows form. That works fine until I edit a cell.

When I edit a cell, the top and left grid borders (which are drawn by me in the grid's paint event) are over-layed by the EditingPanel control of the datagridview class.

So the borders disappears and the cell looks like it has only two borders...bottom...and right.

I subsequently created a custom column and cell template for the grid but no matter what I've tried so far, I can't get to the event that's overwriting my borders to either have it paint the missing borders themselves, or stop it from overwriting the ones that I'm drawing.

It would seem that this type of task needs to be accomplished all the time and I just don't know how...so I'm totally missing the boat on this one.

Would someone please let me in on the secret of how to (the proper procedures) for painting custom borders around the datagridview cell I'm editing?

The borders should be in alignment with the grid's boarders and have the ability to be drawn in different colors.

Please advise and thanks!!!

Mark
