I got it to work now... just two small problems:
1. The order of the properties... I tried setting NoSort (the docs say that the grid sorts them as returned by the properties collection) and added an Index attribute to each property... but how do I use the Index attribute to return properties in a certain order when enumerated??
2. Is there a way I can make of my properties display a multiline edit control???
Thanks!

The way that the TextBox control displays a multiline text string in the propertygrid is that it uses a string array (string[]) called Lines. If you want your object to do the same thing, just add a string[] property. Each line ( a line ends with an System.Enviroment.NewLine ) is an individual item in the array. If you add a string[] property and then when the object is shown in the propertygrid you can click your "Lines" property and there will be a little button with "..." on it. If you click the button it will popup a dialog that will allow you to type just like notepad.
You will then probably have to concatenate the strings in the array to make one "text" property...
Hope this helps for item 2. I am still looking into item 1.

Thanks... I just looked at it... but I would have to customize the dialog box that pops up (language, caption of labels, and so on.) I think what I will do is use the description pane to ask the user to insert semicolons (or something else) to signal new lines, and replace them by new lines before saving the string.
Again, thank you very much!

Inside of my control that I built, I want some sort of function like OnFinishInit that will be called once the control is added to it's form.
Currently, when a particular property is set to true, then I add a collection property to a ArrayList.
Unfortunately, the collection property is below my boolean property, and the collection never gets added because the collection isn't built until after the boolean property is set.
So, I need to wait until all properties are loaded before I try to add these collections to the array.
Thoughts?

I think the System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize interface will give you what you want. Simply add that bit of code to the EndInit() method.

hello,
i'm trying to do a File.Copy but over the wire. more specifically an UpLoad, since it's starting from a Client machine.
Catch is this is via a WinForm/UserControl/ComponentModel object(s). so nothing to do with any kind of ASP, ASP.NET or otherwise. in the end i'm just trying to take a file of some type, be it a .jpg/.dll/.something and send/save it to a server over the net.
i've been experimenting with a number of classes; WebClient, HttpWebRequest and HtmlInputFile/HttpPostedFile. the last 2 being specific to ASP.NET, as i thought i might be able to make the system think it was coming from as ASP.NET page or something like that. i've been using a WebServer(IIS) for the connection, specifically to a Virtual Directory. which is where the file(s) will need to be in the end anyways. but i'm having no luck passing the file to the virtual file path.
any advice or help would be great.
Thank you,
Orion

sorry.., yes just simply transfering a file over the internet from my client to my server. Absolutely nothing to do with a web pages.
i'm sure i'm missing something obvious. although every example i look at is from web page to web page.
i am trying to put the file in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SomeDirectory, but again has nothing to do with web sites. these files are dll's and source code files.

1. Drop a ComboBox on a form.
2. Add 5 items to the ComboBox in the Form_Load event.
3. Run the project.
4. Pull down on the ComboBox.
5. While it is still pulled down click the mouse some
place else on the form.
6. Notice that the ComboBox still has focus even though
the pull down menu disappears.
7. Once again click the mouse some place else on the form.
8. Now the ComboBox loses focus.
I think this is a bug. Any suggestions or feed-back
welcome.
Thanks.

First time when u click on the form it just makes a selection from your ComboBox but the focus stays in there but on the second click, it loses focus.
I think this is the normal sequence.

Yes this is a standard feature. When the DropDown window is displayed it sets MousCapture. The intention is to prevent an accidental command from executing from an inadvertand mouseclick intended to close the dropdown window.

I've created a strongly typed dataset but whenever I try to select rows from
a table and try to cast the rows, I'm getting an error "Specified cast is
not valid.".
I have a table named "Inventory". I'm able to select rows and place them in
a variable with type DataRow[]. However, when I try to cast it to a
InventoryRow, I get errors every time.
Here's the code: my dataset name is PADS...
working code:
DataRow[] recordArray = this._dataSet.Inventory.Select();
error code:
<br />
PADS.InventoryRow[] recordArray =<br />
(PADS.InventoryRow[])this._dataSet.Inventory.Select();<br />
I'm certain I'm using the correct variable names because I'm able to easily
create new records with the following:
<br />
PADS.InventoryRow record = this._dataSet.Inventory.NewInventoryRow();<br />
this._dataSet.Inventory.AddInventoryRow(record);<br />
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

I've run into a problem like this before with a server i wrote. I couldn't find any elegant solution. Logic tells you that you should be able to make this class but for some reason it won't allow it. What I ended up doing was creating an Array of the more specific type ( PADS.InventoryRow ) and then manually putting every element from the array returned from select into the more sepcific array.
If you find an easier way to od that please post it.

Yikes!
That's something I definatley don't want to get into. I'd much rather deal with the native DataRow objects than manually add each item into the typed object. That seems like a TON of overhead. If I find anything I'll be sure to post it.
In the meantime, I'm investigating MAPPING and merging the two different types. If I can do that in my data access layer/components, and just continue on with the application development, then I'm fine with that.

I'm trying to develop my first C# app. I chose to develop a chat software because I wanted to use the sockets' classes.
I've develop a chat server and a chat client. In the last one, I have to display the incoming messages in a RichTextBox control.
The problem is that it doesn't automatically scroll to the end of this control when I append a text.
The piece of code is :
int index=dialogTextBox.TextLength;
dialogTextBox.AppendText(message+"\r\n");
dialogTextBox.Select(index, message.Length);
dialogTextBox.SelectionColor=myColor;
(NB : its append a new line using the 'myColor' color)
I tried to use the ScrollToCaret but it doesn't work.
Please help me !

All you will need to do is...
int index=dialogTextBox.TextLength;
dialogTextBox.AppendText(message+"\r\n");
// Inserted here
dialogTextBox.Focus();
dialogTextBox.Select(index, message.Length);
dialogTextBox.SelectionColor=myColor;
// Focus your entry box back again here.
Or you can write an On Text Changed handler, like I had to that will focus the box, scroll to the caret, then focus back to the entry. You will have to do this if you are adding text to the box from a thread that you created to read from the socket like I did. Doh!

Thanks for your help.
As you said in your answer, my updating functions were called from a thread (a thread which is waiting for messages from the server). So I added a handling method for my dialogTextBox's TextChange Event to use these updating functions instead of calling them in the thread and it works !
Therefore this problem is quite strange, don't you think ?
Why can you add a text to a textbox and can't scroll to the end ?

It is a little strange. I had even tried passing the parent object as a part of a setup function, and then calling a method on that object to focus the object, but still no go. For some reason it appears that .Focus() doesn't function inside of a subthread.

Hello
[WebMethod Description="Returns true if User ID in Database")]
public bool isUserIdValid( int nUserID )
{
DataSet myData = new DataSet();
sqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters["@userID"].Value = nUserID;
sqlDataAdapter1.Fill( myData, "UserID");
myData.Tables[????
return true;
}
Lets say we have a web method such as the one above, it calls a stored procedure on an sql database and returns an int, 0 if user id invalid, or the value of the user id if valid.
So, Ive passed the @userid to the sqlDataAdapter and filled a dataset ie myData with the results.
How do I now get at the data in the DataSet myData ive just created?????
Please help with code required to get the value returned by the stored procedure

Have you tried to access the data like so:
myData.Tables["UserID"]
So your code could possibly look something like:
[WebMethod Description="Returns true if User ID in Database")]
public bool isUserIdValid( int nUserID )
{
DataSet myData = new DataSet();
sqlDataAdapter1.SelectCommand.Parameters["@userID"].Value = nUserID;
if ( sqlDataAdapter1.Fill( myData, "UserID") > 0 )
{
if ( myData.Tables["UserID"] != 0 )
{
return true;
}
}
<br><br>
return false;
}

Hi guys,
I just want to read a field in a column in a dataset.
I dont want to fill a grid, i just want to check one filed for a value???
Regards
|

And your question is what?
I'm going to assume it is how you read a field in a dataset.
First, get the proper DataTable out of the Tables property of the DataSet; then find the appropriate Row in the Rows property of the DataTable, finally read the appropriate column out of that.
