My question has 2 part:
1-How can I stop moving from one cell to another in a DataGrid (from
left to right)
2- When a cell that displays text is selected in a DataGrid, the text
portion of the cell is always selected, the part of the cell that
has no text isn't. I would like the whole background of the cell to
be the same(the text portion and the portion without text).
I overrode the Paint method of the DataGridTextBoxColumn with so
so success. The background of the selected text portion of a
cell is always different from the rest of the cell.
As for part 1 of my message, I really don't know how to do it.
I someone could help, it would be appreciated
Thanks,

Has anyone come across a free class/library/engine (including source code in c#) that will allow me to use xml files as a database (possible supporting SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE style operations).
It doesn't have to be anything fancy, only needs to support one user and must be free.
I want to use XML files as a replacement for Microsoft Access database files in a single user application.
Cheers in advance.

I haven't messed with it yet, but the first thing I would try is DataSet.ReadXml, DataSet.GetXml, DataSet.ReadXmlSchema, DataSet.WriteXml, DataSet.WriteXmlSchema, etc.

I think you need to look into XPath.

I have a MainForm. In this mainform is a menulike UserControl TreeView or ListBox. When the user choses a MenuItem a ChildForm in the mainform is shown where the user can input some data. Now I would like that the UserInterface acts as follows: the user should be able to access MenuItems by Key (say ALT+X) without that the MenuControl must have the focus.
So how can I get every Keyboard Input from any form or any control?
I would like to check these inputs for special key ALT and then switch to chosen MenuPoint.
I tried with MDIContainer-Form but didn't seam to be very usefull for this problem.
Any suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks

Hi,
I have a DataGrid Bound to a table. How can I update my table after a row has been selected and deleted from the grid?
I tryed the following (but it did not work):
CurrencyManager cm = (CurrencyManager)this.BindingContext[myDatagrid.DataSource, MydataGrid.DataMember];
cm.EndCurrentEdit();
cm.Refresh();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
da.Update(myTableBoundToTheDatagrid);
Let's say i have 1 row in my table, I delete it from the grid, I still have one row in my table, after running the code above.
Thanks for any comment,
Yann

The following should work
DataSet something = GetSomethingFromTheDB();
myDataGrid.DataSource = something;
//Allow deletes from the grid..
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter();
da.Update(something);

In an application that I am writing I am loading lots of different forms and Windows XP groups those forms, when there are too many for the Taskbar. I have set different properties of my projects but no text appears on the grouping.
Does anyone know what property I have to set to create the grouping name?
Thanks

I will add an event property for all my MenuItem objects. To do this, I add an IExtenderProvider derived class to my application and implement the Get, Set and CanExtend methods. This work fine except that the event property cannot be edited in the event property tab! It is also grayed in the attribute property tab! Has some body an idee how to use IExtenderProvider with events ?

Hi all,
I want to have 4 coulmns in my data grid. Three columns listing strings and the fourth column must have checkbox.
I don't have a database behind. [And from what I understand we have to specify some datasource to display results in the grid]. I do a search on certain properties in instances of my own class and I want to list the serach results in the datagrid. I can populate the search results in an array and assign the datasource of the grid to this array. But to display results as four columns I need an 1 X 4 array. But the datagrid shows runtime error saying the array is not one dimensional 
Is there an easy way out ? What is the best way to display my results? Is it grid or something else ? In the case of grid, how will I assign my 1 X 4 array to the grid ?
Thanks

:-OHi!
Try filling it via DataTable! or simply add rows manually.
<br />
<br />
ICollection CreateDataSource() <br />
{<br />
DataTable dt = new DataTable();<br />
DataRow dr;<br />
<br />
if(Read())<br />
{<br />
for(int i=0;i<myReader.FieldCount;i++)<br />
{<br />
dt.Columns.Add(<br />
new DataColumn(<br />
myReader.GetName(i)));<br />
}<br />
<br />
do<br />
{<br />
dr = dt.NewRow();<br />
for(int i=0;i<myReader.FieldCount;i++)<br />
{<br />
dr[i] = myReader.GetValue(i);<br />
}<br />
dt.Rows.Add(dr);<br />
}while(Read());<br />
<br />
}<br />
<br />
DataView dv = new DataView(dt);<br />
<br />
return dv;<br />
} <br />
<br />
...
dg1.DataSource = CreateDataSource();<br />
dg1.DataBind();<br />
Checkbox: try itemtemplates. Edit your aspx file.

You may to create a DataTable from array and use it as a datasource. Sorry, it isn't too smart ...

Create a blank project, set the WindowState to minimized in the designer and in the form1_load event put this.Hide();
Now why do I get different behavior when I keep the WindowState to Normal but add this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized; this.Hide();
to the form1_load event?
Aren't they the same thing?

I have created a MDI parent form which has a UserControl
inside.
I create two instances of the form with the UserControl as
mdi children.
I shrink them down vertically so scroll bars appear. Then
drag the scrollbars down to the bottom of the form.
Select one child form, and then select another child form,
in effect, changing focus between the two forms.
When I click on one child, then another, the contained
UserControl jumps and the scroll bar moves to reposition
the contents of the form.
I do not see this behavior if I use a label instead of a
user control.
I dont want the contents of the child form to be
repositioned when you change focus to/from a child.
Having this behavior really breaks my app; I cannot have
windows automatically moving contents after a user has
carefully positioned the windows and the scroll bars where
they want them.
How can I keep the contents of a form with a UserControl
in the same place even if the user moves around between
different MDI child windows?
I saw mention of a known bug in .NET that was described as
follows from the following link:
http://www.windowsforms.com/Forums/showpost.aspx?
tabindex=1&tabid=41&PostID=261
Case in point, killing that annoying autoscroll reset to
upper left corner on a scrollable control recieving focus.
Took me about 8 hours to work around it; the simple
override of WndProc to ignore WM_SETFOCUS seemed OK at
first, but screwed up the setting of the active control
property. If I had access to source, it would have taken
me all of 5 minutes to find the proper workaround (setting
the scroll state to manual during the WM_SETFOCUS handler)-
-
Can anyone suggest what is going on here, and perhaps give
me a start on how to fix the problem? I am not familiar
with overriding Wndproc.

I need to copy and send the data in a private structure from an MFC app to a .NET app. Somehow, the following does not seem to work. When I use the WM_COPYDATA windows message as indicated below, it is not being received by the WndProc on the .NET side, but when I use a private message, it is received. Unfortunately, when I use the private message, the data seems not to be copied across and I get an assertion error for null data. WM_COPY is not received on the .NET side, but when a private message is used, it is received but then Marshal.PtrToStructure asserts reporting a null value.
Using COM interop is not an option. The client thinks that COM will slow things down as the function is called thousands of times.
Does any one have a suggestion, or a better approach?
Thanks

I have a treeview/listview combo I’m using as a mechanism to select folders and files to become the contents of a “backup job” file. Every entry in the treeview and listview has a checkbox next to it for selection.
This job file will be used by a windows service that will wake up, read the job file and copy folder/files to another mapped drive according to the contents of the job file….
I need to build some sort of string array or linked list that can grow/shrink dynamically, that mirrors the user’s selections… so every time the user checks a checkbox for a given selection, the path string is added to the string array/linked list, and removed when the box is unchecked… then when the user clicks “create jobfile”, the array/linked list is written out to a file.
Is a linked list the best way to go here, or is there a better choice using the .NET framework?
thanks.

I found this artical and it's been a great help. Only thing is I need to set dWord values greater than 2,147,483,647! I am sure that somebody has found a way around this.
Here is my code:
RegistryKey regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey(@"SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nsunicast\Parameters\Virtual Roots\/"+eId);
regKey.SetValue("MaxBandwidth", 4294967295); // if I change this to below the number above it will set as a dWord all day long.
Any examples, or ideas would rock.
Thanks,
Bill K.

I did try this and I got no compile errors. I did however still get a string in the reg and not a dword as desired?
UInt32 maxValue = 4294967295;
regKey.SetValue("MaxBandwidth", maxValue);
Thanks,

I don't think you can create anything else using the .NET Registry handlers.
Either use Interop to get at the API registry functions or convert to and from a string using SetValue.

Can you show me an example? I am not following you. Thing is the value that I am writing into the registry is a value that Windows Media Streaming server needs. This is not for a program of my own. I am trying to automate some stuff so converting it to or from a string is not really the answer, I don't think. I am able to feed the value in as a dword value as long as I keep it below that 2147483647 number and do it like this:
regKey.SetValue("MaxBandwidth", 2147483647);
However if I try to do this, the number gets converted to a string:
regKey.SetValue("MaxBandwidth", 4294967295);
So then I tried this:
UInt32 maxValue = 4294967295;
regKey.SetValue("MaxBandwidth", maxValue);
This also gets converted to a string.
Thanks,
Bill K.

You are correct, so you need to use Interop.
This is slightly complicated at first but once you get the hang of it, it's quite easy (that's the story of everything .NET, in my experience). This[^] is a fair introduction to Interop. Other than that, you can search for DllImport/DllImportAttribute here and on MSDN and find more detailed examples.
Once you understand that, it's just a case of looking up the API registry calls: RegOpenKeyEx and RegSetValueEx.
If you run into any more problems, come back and ask.

Try this perhaps:
UInt32 maxValue = 4294967295;
regKey.SetValue("MaxBandwidth", maxValue.ToString("X")); //???
or maybe add a byte[], I cant really see what you can do from the docs.
