I'm sorry. What XML file?
It is said that the most complex structures built by mankind are software systems. This is not generally appreciated because most people cannot see them. Maybe that's a good thing because if we saw them as buildings, we'd deem many of them unsafe.

When you build your project, the compiler should be told to also generate an XML file, using your XML comments. If you distribute this file with your library, the comments are available in Intellisense.

Thanks for your reply.
How can I instruct Visual Studio to generate the XML file?

I don't know off hand, I normally use the Help to find functions like this.

This can be set in the project properties screen, on the "Build" tab. You may have to scroll the screen down some, but there is a check box labeled "XML documentation file". You will need to check that box. Be aware that this is a "per-configuration" property, so you will need to enable it in both debug and release mode builds.

He shouldn't need to distribute a XML file. I don't know if it's because he doesn't know how to format his code blocks, or what, but notice that he's missing the <> around his summary tags.

I think that is CP disallowing them because it thinks he might be doing something bad.

I think I mentioned that possibility. Still, I've written numerous class libraries in C#, and I've never once specifically created a XML file. I know it's not looking for one because I typically copy just the DLL into a separate folder before using it. It might be a project setting, but there's no external file associated with intellisense.

Good Day Sir,
That is exactly what I'm doing. After building the Class Library, I copy the DLL file then I add a reference to that DLL file in a new project, but the intellisense no longer works.
Thanks!

Just to clarify: you are actually putting some wording in the summary /summary section...?

yes sir, I did.
But it wont show up here even with the gt and lt signs.

Can someone point me to some good material on designing an application to be Vista compatible? I've did a minor google search but haven't found anything of value.

Vista is a nightmare. The main thing tho, is to make sure you don't try to write to any files in the application directory. Your config files need to be in the users folder, not the app folder.

So if i had my form open, and i click, the click will fall to the desktop, or other forms...
any easy way to do this?

Not a trivial way, no.

hmm so does the hard way involve wndproc in some fashion, or are we talking harder :P

You can actually call an API called WindowFromPoint. So, hide your window, call that API on the screen point you clicked, convert to a point relative to the window and send it a WM_CLICK message. And a WM_LBUTTONDOWN and WM_LBUTTONUP. FIddly, more than anything.

Ya no luck with WindowFromPoint (in vista) so far... Also how do i "hide" a form from WindowFromPoint but keep it visible?, i tried making it not enabled, and some ShowWindowAsync(shades.Handle, SW_HIDE) which definatally hides it from view, but i want it visible still...
Also i tried with one of those lowlevel-ish hooks to watch the mouse when it's off my form, and so far WindowFromPoint returns 0 regardless...
something that caught my eye though was:
private const int WM_NCHITTEST = 0x0084;
private const int HTTRANSPARENT = (-1);
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == WM_NCHITTEST)
{
m.Result = (IntPtr)HTTRANSPARENT;
}
else
{
base.WndProc(ref m);
}
}
but it doesn't work for other threads... else it'd be very good solution :P

Ok no idea why but now i'm seeing WindowFromPoint working now... i'll see now if i can get this to work.

Ok been through hell with this, and starting to show progress:
1. i made a new WindowFromPoint function that effectively finds the window underneath. to do this i had to use api:enumWindows... whichs gives a list of windows in the correct z-order, and just filter the results to visible windows that don't match my programs handle... then just check which rectangle the mouse is within and there you go... it works 100%
2. sendmessage to relay messages is no joke as it would appear... pain in the ass would best describe it... apparently something is blocking any messages from getting through! my guess = vista lol.
i tried using microsof spy to watch for any messages in a test program, and i placed my window above it... and spy showed no messages getting through...
that's not to say "some" messages don't get through... i did notice doubleclicking on the taskmanager through my form did infact do what double clicking would do to it... but nothing in way of rightclick, or highlights... and the code that sends these messages is same... basically catch alot of mouse messages in my wndproc, and send them to another window... so i'm not sure what to do next.
i need another way to send mouse messages :P

Did you use search? There are several articles at codeproject showing how to achieve it.

Try searching for "hooks"

I have 2 connections strings in the settings file that are used by various datasetgridviews and other functions. The problem comes in that the databases are in the \CurrentUser\My Document\MyProgramsDataFolder. Other data is also being stored here for processing.
I know this may not be considered a "Best programming practice", but it suits the nature of the program.
Is there anyway of setting the connection sting in the settings file so that instead of
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|DataDirectory|Database1.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
it looks something like
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="|MyDocuments|Database1.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

The |DataDirectory| value is a substitution string that indicates the path to the database so you don't have to hard-code the full path. There is no corresponding |MyDocuments| substition string.
What you should do is call the AppDomain.SetData[^] method. If you don't, the following rules are applied:- For applications that are put in a folder on the user's computer, the database folder uses the application folder.
- For applications that are running under ClickOnce, the database folder uses the specific data folder that is created.
