Please pay attention how OP cheats with fake "answers": http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/564854/ActiveXobjectplusinplusjavascript#answer1, http://www.codeproject.com/Answers/564847/Howplustopluscallplusaplusdllplusfunctionplusinplu#answer2. —SA

Are you answering your question to yourself? And even accept it formally? I call it cheating. —SA

There are only two coordinates in 2D. What are you talking about? Maybe you simply misuse the terminology, but how can you expect others to understand you? —SA

So many words making no sense: "button says", "invoke the button" — what is is? Overall, nothing is clear... —SA

If some question is expected, this is your question. Where is it? —SA

Are you a developer or not? If you are, there is no "crash". You would be able to observe exception and provide comprehensive exception information: type, message, in what line, its stack, etc. —SA

Not enough information. You can make a shorted possible text file sample with Arabic letters and shorted possible code sample reading it, trying to reproduce the problem. Make sure the file is saved in UTF8 and UTF8 is used in code. Don't forget that Unicode string could be correct, but you might just not see it. It depends on how you look at it. Say, if you do System.Console.WriteLine(string) (in default settings), it will show correct Unicode as "?????...". —SA

The question was way too vague to discuss anything serious. I guess that's why it got 3 abuse reports by now and should be removed, sorry. —SA

You are very welcome. Good luck, —SA

Why doing so? I don't think this is any solution... —SA

I don't quite understand "How can my elements be my parents when they are in a <li> element as part of a list?". The relationships (used, for example in jQuery .children() method) looks like this: in <someElement><someOtherElement>...</someOtherElement><someOtherElement>...</someOtherElement></someElement> each of the <someOtherElement> elements is the child of <someElement>; <il> is usually the child of <ul> or <ol>... —SA

Please don't post non-answers as "solution". It can give you abuse reports which eventually may lead to cancellation of your CodeProject membership. And the fact you even self-accepted some formally is just outrageous, a sure way for a ban. I hope you won't do it after this warning. Comment on any posts, reply to available comments, or use "Improve question" (above). Also, keep in mind that members only get notifications on the post sent in reply to there posts. —SA

You are welcome. Good luck, call again. —SA

What, even after reading referenced MSDN articles? Did you try to read them? You should be familiar with serialization, once you deal with session variables. Are you not? Then learn it. —SA

Sure. Cross-site. :-) —SA

What is "object of object"? :-) —SA

Not an answer, does not belong here. —SA

Thank you, Mohammed. Yes, JavaScript of course can be bypassed (I don't quite understand "cross-scripted"), so really critical validations are done on server part... —SA

Sure, good find. Good luck, call again. —SA

You apparently came to wrong site, sorry. —SA

My pleasure, only if it really helps somehow. It's so great to promote knowledge, thinking and good work and discourage the opposites... :-) —SA

Please see some alternative ideas in my answer. —SA

Good idea. I voted 4 this time, just because the link is not the most adequate (Java), but it's easy to find. Regex itself is the same. By the way, this is one of the most elementary regex chores, so asking such questions is not very productive... —SA

What do you mean "unable"? How can I teach you doing programming job in a Quick Question? If you want to use file exclusively, you can 1) use isolated storage (read about it), 2) keep files open during application lifetime. This could be a separate unrelated question. —SA

How are they special? What's so special in them. And let me ask you: are the characters like, say, "¶ ※ † ♈ ♞ ♍ ☹" less "special"? They all can be entered in your Web page input, as easily as I just entered then while writing this comment. —SA

Sure, then please see Solution 3 I just added. —SA

Aha, now I know: Karachi is in U.S.A. :-) —SA

You are welcome. Better not as soon but better. :-) Are you accepting the answer formally (green button)? —SA

No matter, that's the part of the answer about "portability"... —SA

OK, now it's better, but this is the impression from your writing... I tried to answer, please see. This is really simple stuff. —SA

Ah, sorry, it was my typo. Please use .each(function(index, element)): http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.each/ Please check every step with jQuery documentation, which is actually easy to find. I did not call all of these methods myself, but when I do something for the first time, I manage to write code correctly if I look for documentation, it's just needs some patience. Can you work under the debugger in Visual Studio? it helps a lot... —SA

I cannot see what's wrong right now... —SA

Great. Good luck, call again. —SA

Good way, a 5. I'll also up-voted the Mika's article. —SA

Not a question. —SA

It's all correct, but a really portable application will also work on Mono, many OS, without recompilations. Please see my answer. I personally worked on Windows, Linux and Mac OS X. —SA

The post got 3 abuse reports and will be removed, sorry. —SA

Keep looking... Need a hint? Do you mean Selenium testing framework? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selenium_%28software%29 —SA

You Youtube video is not accessible, did you know that? You need to be able to express yourself in words and some notations. Are you a developer or not? :-) —SA

No you don't, not even close. The code already looks like C#. This question for you was already asked. —SA

Right. Certainly, the application type won't matter, only how the RDBMS itself is used via ADO.NET will. —SA

Thank you. —SA

Great, but what else do you need? I don't use any tutorials except original documentation, so I don't know them. Ask some particular questions as you go. If you want me to pay attention for your posts, I'll get a notification if you leave me a link by replying to this comment (or any other post of mine). —SA

I answered the question about shortcuts, even though it is the unrelated question. Next time, ask a separate question in such cases. —SA

I can understand it, but please think: 1) won't it be too intrusive to many people? won't many prefer taking care about access to the application themselves? it does make sense, but only for a limited number of frequently uses application; 2) are you ready to do a relatively big job for questionable benefit? I'll try to answer, but see by yourself... —SA

That is not it. It does not actually explain how to create such shortcuts. —SA

Wrong question. You are interested in some help, so you should know what you really want. If you are not sure, asking questions makes little to no sense. —SA

I added a solution addressing the weighting problem. Easy. Please see my answer. —SA

That was actually my guess, but both "cost" and "value" are confusing. The correct term for it is "weight". Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_%28mathematics%29#Weighted_graph It may or may not be implemented. If it is not implemented, you usually can work around. Your graph is merely a tree. Got the hint..? —SA

In what lime? Use the debugger, such bugs are very easy to fix. The code is very bad though, all hard-coded. This is not programming at all, just messing around. Write the code accurately, many bugs will go by themselves... —SA

You never explained what do you mean by "cost"... —SA

Not clear. Your question already got 3 abuse report (most likely, because it is not clearly formulated or makes no sense), so it will be removed, sorry. —SA

I already saw a similar question. This is a re-post. Don't do it. Besides, it doesn't seem to make sense. —SA

It depends on what kind of "docking" are you looking for. It cab be 1) moving dockable controls like in Visual Studio, 2) controls or panels docked to sides (or Fill) like in System.Windows.Form.Control.Dock. Both behaviors are solvable. —SA

Your items like address, city, etc. are children on the second order of hierarchy, they are the children of each list item, are accessed in a similar way (via jQuery item.children(), for example). Again, look at pure HTML via "View Page source" when the page is shown... —SA

Ctrl+Alt+Del is reserved by OS. You cannot even capture it. OS "hides" this specific event for this specific event sequences (press on Del having Ctrl+Alt hold), because if the user somehow breaks into it on the application level, it would compromise system stability. Just think about it. OK, it looks like a separate question. If you still have some concerns, formulate what exactly you want to achieve and why (don't forget to explain your ultimate goals) and ask a new question. If you want me to pay attention for it. Leave me a comment by replying to this comment, give a link... —SA

WS_POPUP does not means that. If your windows used to have a title, it certainly had WS_POPUP (well, this name is somewhat confusing). Anyway, you can to check it up the way I explained, with GetWindowLong. Did you do it. About the window movement: isn't that apparent? You remove the title which has this behavior implemented. Now you should re-implement this behavior by yourself handling just client messages (mouse, keyboard, whatever you decide to do). Come on, this is easy enough! However, this is a separate question. Make sure you got an answer for your current question, accept it. Than try to implement motion by yourself. If you face problems, ask another question. One step at a time... —SA

Great. Good luck, call again. —SA

With jQuery, you don't need getElementBy..., use jQuery selectors: list = $("#myList"); children = list.children(); children.each(function(item, element){ // do something element["addSomeProperty"] = index; // whatever // "element" is the same as your item, more exactly, its jQuery wrapper (it also can use any jQuery functions defined) }) See the references, you will find all jQuery code samples. For example, items could be not your immediate children, so find indirect children. You can also filter our some children by selector, see the very first link... —SA

Strange. Take the regular styles (by GetWindowLong, same parameters) and remove WS_CAPTION. Is it gone? Remove some other bits according: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms632600%28v=vs.85%29.aspx Did you finally achieve it? Please try and report back... Probably you need just SetWindowLong(hWnd, GWL_STYLE, WS_POPUP); If you do, look at remaining styles bits (say, under the debugger) and use only them next time. —SA

Thank you very much. :-) —SA

It's a matter of defect report to IE team. Mozilla used to respond very quickly, but I doubt about Microsoft... —SA

The post got 3 abuse reports and will be automatically removed. I think this happens because the question does not really make sense. —SA

This is not as simple as asking a question and expecting the solution. It will take a lot of work, to solve this problem well... —SA

Sure. Note that OP was able to solve the problem, accepted my solution. The problem is really interesting, come to think about; please see some more comments below. —SA

Keep reading then... —SA

Please stop posting non-answers as "solution". It can give you abuse reports which eventually may lead to cancellation of your CodeProject membership. Comment on any posts, reply to available comments, or use "Improve question" (above). Also, keep in mind that members only get notifications on the post sent in reply to there posts. —SA

What are those "ticks", for goodness sake? Be careful to avoid lime decease or encephalitis. Why doing all this?.. —SA

I don't believe it's gonna happen. Hopefully, one more abuse report will delete this post. :-) —SA

Great idea. You should have told it from the very beginning. It makes the question interesting. I'll vote 5 for it. —SA

This is not really related to the device; it should be done when the image is already delivered. Please see my answer. —SA

Great; you are very welcome. Good luck, call again. —SA

No, the questions are not confusing, they are clear enough, thank you for that. I answered, please see the updated answer above, after [EDIT]. —SA

OK. I second it, not first... :-) Documentation then. Should be apparent. I also don't know why not using one of TreeView classes from FCL. —SA

Make sure you can send e-mail throw the same service with these credentials. For check up, you can use some available mail program. —SA

Of course it would effect the algorithm, but it does not explain what prevents you for keeping a correct side. Address your problem to the documentation referenced, or, perhaps, to Matt. —SA

The problem you formulated in the question? It simply makes no sense. You cannot talk in terms of solution at all. Fingerprint authentication? I would distribute some application communicating with HTTP, for some of the platforms (you could not cover all, no matter what you do), so the users could see where it is available and compatible and could explicitly give the consent to download and use it. Only than it would be legitimate. ActiveX is not considered legitimate. It is considered to be totally unsafe. Computer-savvy people will deny using your site if they learn that you are using ActiveX. —SA

Think again... Any results of thinking? No, not from a Web application. —SA

This is called "race condition", read about it in Wikipedia, to start from... —SA

It means you do have problems with ActiveX. If your user has a problem, this is your problem. —SA

The problem might be not in the code you show. If you need anyone to look at it, you should make a very different code sample. One of the ways to do it is to create complete code in one file, without using the designer, all in manually written C# code, which is quite possible. By the way, if it won't reproduce the problem, it will already give you enough food for thought. —SA

I could not see your comment, because you did not reply to mine, but put your comment as peer, as a comment to your question. That's why I did not get notification and could not pay attention for your reply. If you want people to get notification on your comments, use "Reply". —SA

I cannot see the problem at the moment, but using Sleep is pointless. Why? —SA

I would not believe that... how? By the way, it's easy to test. Please test and be so nice to report back the result. —SA

What, this post is still here, whole two hours? :-) —SA

My 5, but you also did not touch "easy" part. Please see my note in the comments to Solution 5. —SA

I'm especially touched by the "but" part of this phrase... :-) —SA

Agree with Andreas. Maybe, not so easily. However, if OP wants to learn it "easily", this is the way to become on "easy developer". The one who will screw up everything easily and destroy the work of one's colleagues. My 5. —SA

Look at the word "overwhelm" in some dictionary. I would think you mean something else... :-) —SA

You can check up which one, exactly. I explained it all above... —SA

Right question. Here is what to do: First of all, I assume you already have working code which shows some list view. Run it and look at the page in your browser. Look at generated HTML source. (It will be browser's View Page Source menu item or something like that.) If <li> elements are your children, loop at the parent element. It won't be <asp:...> as it will be translated to appropriate HTML element. In other words, find out which <asp:...> element is translated to HTML element which is the parent. At this time, I don't know myself, would need to do the same or look in documentation. Probably, you already know what is it. Now, make sure you give this element some unique id attribute. On the ASP.NET side, this is done via Control.ClientID, which also depends on Control.ClientIDMode: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.control.clientid.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.control.clientidmode.aspx I hope this is clear. Now, let's assume the value of ClienID is something like "listParent", it means the parent element has id="listParent". As you could learn from jQuery selectors, it gives you a way to find document.getElementById; in jQuery, this is simpler: myListParent = $("#listParent") // same as document.getElementById("myListParent") That's it. I hope you got it all and can accept my answer formally (green button). :-) —SA

It is not different. If you are new to JavaScript (and even not very new) jQuery looks a bit weird. This is poor JavaScript syntax, and '$' is just a valid but unusual identifier name taken up by the library. This is the name of some very universal jQuery function which tries to build a complex wrapper object out or any string... —SA

Your description of your problem is not informative... —SA

Header! where is the header before it? —SA

What would it mean: "text file or notepad"? —SA

You could read that jQuery is merely a JavaScript library. So, your "for now" does no make whole lot of sense, if would simply mean that you would need to write something which is already written in jQuery very well and fully tested by many people. —SA

Notepad, no kidding? (Notepad is Microsoft application, totally stand-along, not communication with any other in any way... in case you don't know what is it.) —SA

SQL "knows" nothing about Excel. (Thanks goodness. :-) —SA

Notepad? How's that? :-) —SA

5ed. —SA

You main goal is to keep in secret that the product was written in VB6, otherwise the customers would be too afraid to trust their money. :-) —SA

Bad idea. ActiveX is evil, and JavaScript (client-side) is not a good choice for database connectivity. Only the server side technology. —SA

Great. Will you accept the answer formally then (green button)? —SA

You do have the innerHtml of the body in your content page. I already answered on this part. If you put script at this level, it will also be executed. And Prasad's code sample will make the handler function executed when the document is ready. —SA

Hard to believe. Why my code is copied correctly? You need to stop complaining and write the rest of the code... We usually answer particular questions... —SA

Even though you got some "answer", I would rather ask: what do you mean by that? —SA

Oh, really? OK, then forget about deallocation. Other than that, the problem is exactly the same. You don't return new top. Can you finally understand how passing-by-value works? —SA

Makes no sense. Do you want me to explain why? I'll even post it in my answer. —SA

Thank you, Rohan. —SA

What does it mean: "calender"?! And what's your problem? This is just a relatively big works; I don't know what "secrets" do you expect us the share. Just development. —SA

...and ask some question. This is a Quick Questions & Answers forum, if you still did not notice that. —SA

Why? —SA

Thank you for confirmation. :-) —SA

What is "calender"? If does not look like Malayam spelling. Maybe, some other language I'm not familiar with... —SA

I answered, but later thought: "I remember you". It looks like helping you is useless. You need to learn how to ask questions (instead of making statements) and understand answers. From all your posts, I cannot imagine that you can pay attention, understand and accept answers. If people answer with something you don't want, that was your fault. So far, it all looks like that. If you really need help, you'll have to change that. —SA

5ed. —SA

Did you try anything? —SA

[.....] Can you guess what's in square brackets? Bad words. No language, no platform tagged? Do you just want to talk about it? And what kind of words would you expect? —SA

Look, do you want to talk about it or some help? Useless talking... —SA

You cannot program with classes without knowing what a class is. You even put its name in the question. You need understand what you are really doing, but just write code and see if it works... —SA

Thank you for the note; now I can see it, but look at OP's last comment "Sorry but I dont know wich of the TreeView classes i use. I'm in visual Studio and I see only one TreeView Control, I have no ideas about the classes of TreeView". —SA

Sorry, but I'm kind of shocked that you cannot answer simple question about which of the TreeView classes do you use, even after my explanations. Don't you think the question goes nowhere? After all, what prevents you from loaded the help page on your TreeView class, I have no idea which one, and find required operations on Nodes, Node. You only need Add... —SA

Please, you should not post it as "solution". As you are asking a question, it is not. Use "Improve question", use "pre" tags to format code. —SA

Honestly, you published 8 answers! Have some mercy, don't answer anymore... —SA

:Doh:... fully qualified. Called "FullName" in .NET. How did you write code so far? Did you ever look at someObject.GetType().FullName? Not "TreeView", System.Window.Controls.TreeView, or one of the other names like that... —SA

Homework? Anyway, you have to solve the problem by yourself, at least show what did you try. —SA

I thought it was clear enough to me. It seems unclear because the question is based in some OP's misconception, but that's why we are here, don't we? :-) Will you see my answer? —SA

Where did you specify it? Tag it. Don't say "Treeview" or even "TreeView". Full name, please. —SA

The question about TreeView makes no sense unless you specify a fully-specified type name. There are several unrelated classes with the simple name TreeView. You always need to tag the UI library or application type you use if UI is concerned. —SA

Makes no sense unless you explain what is online, exactly. —SA

Any particular reason to struggle with the language which was dead even before it was introduce to the market? —SA

Thank you for the note. Sorry for OP. :-) —SA

Good idea. —SA

You already got one interesting answer by now, but I wonder why don't you want to just use one of the classes named TreeView and available in .NET GAC. And you always should tag the UI library or application type you are using. Who will take a labor of answering your question in many different variants if you probably need only one? —SA

Interesting thing, a 5. —SA

If you want "paging without data grid", it should be paging with something else. What? Even if the content you want to page is just a list of single HTML lines, this is still paging. Paging around what elements of set of elements? And then you would have some controls, like "Next", "Previous", "Go to Top", "Go to Bottom" or the like. You will have to develop it all by yourself. How? By doing some work. You should explain what are your concern and specify how it should work. —SA

Why doing something with id in Web browser? You should understand that when HTML is created, there is the attribute "id", nothing else. What do you want to do with it and why? So far, I see no sense. —SA

The post makes no sense at all, sorry. —SA

Actually, I cannot see how even one file could be converted. Your code could not compile. For example: My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory(C:\Users\Mick\Desktop\Screenshot) must be My.Computer.FileSystem.CreateDirectory("C:\Users\Mick\Desktop\Screenshot") But even this you should not right, as there are no cases where hard-coded file paths could be useful. But is simply means that you did not provide true information on your problem and show anything but not your real code fragment. I just did not look at this part. How can anyone can help if you do it? —SA

Look, I did not explain you that I'm a physicist. How it can be relevant? You either do the job or do not; if you do, you do it in not a less than a professional way, everything else is fair tales... I explain you then bug, but you did not explain me what's the remaining problem... —SA

Why? —SA

Not a question. This post does not belong here. —SA

You cannot ask question about TreeView without specifying exact type of it. You need to tag the UI library or application type your are using. —SA

Why this way? What are you going to do if you find the path? Why not reading all the data into some data structure? Why not read it all in XML DOM? What is "hold source" and why? —SA

Same thing! Anyway, what's the problem? —SA

I though you do know. Read what did you right by yourself: "Converting 1 image goes well...". Your concern was different: you had some bug converting only the first image, not the whole collection of them. I told you where the bug is and how to fix it. What else would you need? So, please try to fix this bug and accept this answer formally (green button). If you still have some other problem, ask another question. This one is answered. —SA

Sure, a 5. —SA

No, you cannot view PDF in any browser. If you can, it does not mean your user can. As to downloading, file type does not matter at all... —SA

"Percentage value" still means some string, no different from any other... and you can store anything in the ComboBox elements... So, what's the problem?.. —SA

ActiveX is evil. Fingerprint authentication? Yes, this can be a problem... Anyway, ActiveX won't be supported by many browser and can be used only on Windows... —SA

Thank you for your vote. —SA

No, I don't think it's possible. My point it: you cannot win this race, but you can keep all the functionality and good recognizable look. This is my idea: the design should not take into account all possible layout engines, it should be highly tolerant to their differences; which is achieved through: 1) thorough design, 2) rational minimalism and simplicity. —SA

EML file is very reasonable; unlike many other format for mail messages, this is exactly the single-message package which is actually transmitted through the mail system. As to the encryption — I doubt it. If the recipient of the message can read it you can do it, too, unless the two performed key exchange in the past (in which case, you would not be able to decrypt anything even if you spied on key exchange, in case of proper encryption technology). Maybe, post the header of the "encrypted" part and the beginning of the "encrypted code" itself. I suspect it's not the encryption... (Use "Improve question".) —SA

Of course, this is just the very convenient way and a good point (you could put it as the formal answer), but the root of the problem is: JavaScript is no called from code behind. Please see my answer where I tried to explain some basics. —SA

This not an answer, this is fake. And self-accepting it as an answer is just cheating. —SA

Not a question. Not enough information. No sense at all. —SA

All I can see is "working on", which might mean anything. Creation of OCX would sound quite weird, indeed. Please see my comment below... —SA

Maybe you mean some Excella Magtek scanner? Then the spelling is different. Does it support something humane, like TWAIN, WIA, SANE, ISIS? Dealing with OCX, or anything but one of standard interfaces does not seem reasonable. —SA

Even though OCX is old trash, it's possible to use with .NET. I'm not sure it it makes sense... —SA

"Strange"? Not informative. You hardly can expect anyone to answer... —SA

What is "WPF form"? What is "this calculator"? What is "calsy" :-) —SA

Why?! —SA

Just one advice, pretty fuzzy because I cannot see your design. You have two levels of hierarchy expressed by the same tool: the expander. It can confuse the user. You could have two different ways of showing hierarchy, only one of them being the expander. —SA

I have to agree, unless OP can invent a better forum; a 5. —SA

Sure, a 5. —SA

Why not, may I ask you? If you look at the Solution 1, 2, you will see what's wrong with some question... —SA

Thank you, —SA

Better... —SA

What do you mean "how"? By doing some hard work. No, please don't re-frame it, thank you. —SA

Good point. —SA

The post makes no sense, unfortunately. —SA

Maybe this is because a compiler get offended with the spelling: "Seperator" :-). —SA

What "edit a tool" is supposed to mean? —SA

The problem is: you never know for sure who is your user, is it the same person who visited it yesterday or not, unless you use user authentication. —SA

I think all OP's approaches are not acceptable, they are based on thinking before the time exceptions were invented. Please see my answer. —SA

Why do you think that this information is enough to solve the problem? —SA

Why? I feel an attempt to do something bad... :-) And why do you think WMI should care about that? —SA

What do you mean "how"? By doing some hard work. This is not an answerable question. —SA

I never tried drag-n-drop with Canvas, don't feel those problems, sorry... —SA

I'm not sure... —SA

It won't help. Radio buttons should behave like radio buttons, if you don't want to loose your users... —SA

You are welcome. Good luck, call again. —SA

Objects, not values? Well, well... —SA

Case closed. —SA

Yes, you need to implement authentication... —SA

No. If you break consistency between mouse and keyboard, you break user trust. I call it UI crime. Honestly, anyone who would experience this "functionality" will never come back to your site. And your idea has no purpose at all, nothing useful; your explanation of this "need" is simply ridiculous. The user know what key to press. —SA

Please don't re-post. This question is no better then the previous one. You provide no useful information. Hopeless. —SA

Thank you for the information. This is not a question. —SA

What do you mean by radio button index? It is checked or not, one control in a group. —SA

Understand, but I think this is irrelevant here. Don't you see: I suggested how to print just part of the page? —SA

Aren't you confusing something? Who mentioned anything related to PDF? —SA

Implement what? "Still do" what. Confusing the server? why? Sorry, I don't understand both things: the goal and the purpose of it. —SA

Thank you very much, Harvey. And I hope you like my approach I just described. Even though it was originally based on known technique (remoting per se), I never saw such a compact implementation where there is nothing redundant because the remote object is used for dual purpose. —SA

One civilized way is using CSS @media feature. Please see my answer. —SA

Please add one more tag: ASP.NET. —SA
