hi frnd,

statement x=5 ...........set the value of x to 5.
it does not check whether x is equal to 5 or not.

You have to use conditional operator(==) instead of assignment(=) operator.

So use x==5 as a condition.

Ok. Smile | :)

Bye.

hi all,
how to make a setup file in such a way that prerequisites are installed automatically before application is installed, e.g. if .net framework 2.0 is not in target machine it should check and installs it before installing the application.

thanks,

Not being facetious, or unhelpful, but have you tried googling?[^]

You could go and have a look at Windows Installer XML. WIX for short. It should cover all your needs for checking registry prerequisites and installing your application.

ClickOnce is easy to use and does this, but has some undesirable side-effects.

I wrote an article on setup projects:
http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/Win_App_Setup_Project.asp[^]

It seems that with vs 2005 the setup is improved to beable to check and install the .net framework. It checks the dependance prompts the user to accept the license. Then installs the .net framework. NOTE when it is done it is looking for the setup.msi file so that needs to be there.

Here is a microsoft link on it:

Is this a problem you're trying to fix or a feature you're trying to implement?

Sounds like it is something he is trying to implement. I would imagine just trapping the mouse click event and setting the Button property to the left button if this is possible...

Which I am not sure is possible since e.Button doesn't have a set property, only get...

SendKeys doesn't have anything that works with the mouse.

Call the function from the MouseClick event... something like:

<code>
Private Sub Form1_MouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
     ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles MyBase.MouseClick

     If e.Button = Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Right Then

         yourFunctionHere

     End If
End Sub
</code>

If you hook the mouse event you're able to play with the win32 data structures and make that sort of transform.

Hi ,

I have created an application in C# which runs varios windows commands.
For the Debugging purpose I need that whatever output I am getting to be pasted to a log file also say to C:\Log.txt file. How is it possible to redirect all the console output to a file.

Thanks in Advance

TextWriter tw = new StreamWriter(@"C:\\Log.txt");<br />
tw.WriteLine("Enter Required Text here");<br />
tw.Flush();<br />
tw.Close();

Hope this helps.

Look at the TRACE namespace. You can set tracelisteners up to echo stuff to the console, to DbgVwr and a text file.

Thanks all for your valuable input but I think that i was not able to explain the problem properly.

Suppose I am using C# to run the ping command. Now once this command runs all output I get goes to the console window. Now what I want is that In place of going to the console window, can it go into a log file.

Thanks and Regards,

Sankalp Verma

OK - specifically for PING you can use the

System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping

. You can query this for the results of the ping.

For capturing any console output from a 'shelled' program, do something like this

<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process myProc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();<br />
                            myProc.StartInfo.FileName = String.Format("myprogram.exe");<br />
<br />
                            myProc.StartInfo.Arguments = "-args myargs";<br />
                            myProc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;<br />
                            myProc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;<br />
<br />
                            myProc.Start();<br />
<br />
                            myProc.WaitForExit(1000 * 20);<br />
<br />
                            string output = myProc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();<br />
//output now contains everything output by myprogram.exe<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
