it is easy if your program is working when one tries opening any app. make a system tray docking application and loop through processes that are loaded; or subscribe to processpool events. for more info search at codeproject for singleton pattern sample where it looks for a process with the same name. your code is similar...
or by vs toolz for office (vsto addin) for vs2005 has many plugin features.(accessible on msdn office developer center u need licensing...)
choose whatever uwant

It can be done by writing your own service. A windows service can be configured to automatically start at system boot. then the service can know about any other service running on the same / remote computer. A tutorial is available for writing services in the MSDN library. Search for "Writing Windows Services". There is also a sample program for this type of requirement in the C# samples directory. Or you can download that sample from msdn.microsoft.com. Find more help about these classes -
ServiceController
Process.GetProcesses(strMachineName) this method returns Process[] which can be used to know information about the process !

I cannot say whether there is an "event" way of solving this. But what you can do is you can spawn a separate thread from your application, which will periodically call Process.GetProcessesByName() method, and you can pass in the process name for Microsoft Word (or any other process you want to wait on). Definitely if you receive an "event" that would be less complicated, but I doubt whether that is at all possible. No application will let you know that it has started - YOU have to find that out!

Good day ladies and gentlemen.
I am writing an app that runs on a thin client hardward platform (written in C#). The app is denied access to the priamry drive on the server to which I have no control. I do have control to the "My Documents" folder.
I am seeking knowledge on locating the "My Documents" folder by code so that I may serialize/deserialize data to it.
All suggstions are deelpy appreciated.

You are looking for Environment.GetFolderPath()[^]

If you serialize/deserialize data for the purpose of your application, you should think about putting it into the user's application data directory whose path you can get by Environment.GetFolderPath( Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData ).

I use a panel to simulate a scollbar put when i move it, just flicker.
How can i avoid this?

Use double buffering. There are several articles on this site and on the web relating how to do this.

I am quite a novice at C# and have been making regular contributions to this board as a result. I was just wondering if there was a function to find a number in a string? Any help will be appreciated!

use the
\d+ regular expression.

Thanks for the response. I however am not really familiar how Regex works. So how would I use that?

See the other answer. It is not complete, but MSDN has a topic explaining how to use the classes from the System.Text.RegularExpressions namespace.

Tx, I corrected it. I am a little rusty on regex

There are lots of ways, depends on what you want to do with the number.
#1
mystring.IndexOf(string.Format("{0}", number)); will return -1 if the number is not found, a valid index otherwise
#2
MatchCollection matches = Regex.Matches(mystring, @"\d+", RegexOptions.Compiled) will search the string for all occurences of any digits

With regards to your second approach how does one access the matches. I have tried reading about them on the MSDN but cant see any way to access the contents. Any help would be appreciated!

foreach (Match m in matches)
{
Console.WriteLine(m.Value);
}
This will loop through all matches found. It is saved as a string, you will need to convert to an integer by yourself using int.Parse(m.Value);

How to communicate between two worker threads in C#
Pls reply if u know the answer
|
|
|
|
|
Events (AutoResetEvent, ManualResetEvent) and shared variables (locked as needed)
|
|
|
|
|
Butthe problem in that is that the function would be executedon the behalf of worker thread,u getting me,I want after the worker thread ghas completed his job,it shouls inform another worker thread to do his job

I understand what you want, but I do not see what additional information you need.
Create a variable (or queue to handle multiple request serially) protected by locks (or using a syncronized queue).
Thread 1 does whatever it needs, then insert the "task" in the variable or queue. Once it is inserted it sets the event.
Thread 2 simply waits for the event to be raized. Once raized it takes the work object and do whatever it needs to do. For a queue, keep looping until all data is done, then wait for the event. For the variable you might need an extra event from thread 2 to inform thread 1 that it can override the variable - all in all the queue is simpler.
Obviously you have to be careful with timing.

Well,probably i did not make myself clear
Ss I don't want my main thread to stop processing or wait for it,See what i want is the functionaliyu available in GUi threads (PInvoke) in a console based applications
That when the worker thread completes it informs other thread A ,and call a function of A on the behalf of A,not its own

And here is my code. Actually I need also to know how to get the <contact:id> and <result> node bvalue and attribue.
try
{
XmlDocument xmlDoc = new XmlDocument();
