Greetings:
I am looking for a way to embed the date and time of the build of my Visual Studio 2003 C# application. That is, I would like to have some strings in my code that are automatically set at build time with the system date time and will provide me with an easy way to display the build date and time in an "About" box at run time.
Thank you in advance,
Mark

As far as I know, you can only get the creation time. There are no embed datetime in file.
FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(Process.GetCurrentProcess().MainModule.FileName);
MessageBox.Show(fi.CreationTime.ToString());
|

System.DateTime.Now.ToString() -> this returns a string with the date and time of the windows at run.

Thanks but, it is not current time I am looking for. It is the BUILD time of the project. In standard WIN32 under "C", you can define these MACROS:
#define _COMPILE_DATE
#define _COMPILE_TIME
These macro's are updated with the system date and time by the compiler pre-processor when the file is built.
Cheers,
Mark

I don't think you can really embed that kind of information. You could do something tricky like make a batch file that writes the current date/time to a file that is an embedded resource in your assembly. Call that batch file on prebuild and then you can use Assembly.GetManifestResourceStream to pull the contents of that file out and get your date.
If you're interested, CruiseControl has a labeler that will mark the build version as the date:

You could easily do this with Visual Studio 2005 which utilizes MSBuild files which are pretty easy to work with; all you have to do is modify your .csproj file. However, this only works for VS2005, as 2003 does not use MSBuild AFAIK.
You *might* be able to pull this off using pre-build steps, but I'd rather not comment on how, as that is nothing trivial.

Hi,
I'm trying to place a control onto a form behind a picturebox. Some area's of this picturebox
are defined as transparant. Now I run into the problem of not seeing the controls anymore.
What does happen is the transparent area is taking the same color as the form so it looks transparant but not truly is. What am I doing wrong?!
thanks in advance
Here is some sample code..
<br />
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(this.ImgBackground.Image); <br />
bmp.MakeTransparent(Color.FromArgb(255,0,255)); <br />
this.ImgBackground.Image= bmp;<br />

set yourPicturebox.BackColor = Color.Transparent

How can I resize a panel according to form size?
I have the ff code:
this.pnlGrndWv.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(this.Size.Width,this.Size.Height);
This worked but what I actually wanted was to capture the size of form(with the excess page which i can view using scrollbar), I mean I want to know the size of the "long" windows form, I want to actually simulate ng Panel size to "real" form size. How can I do this? Thanks!
|
|
|
|
|
Use this :
this.pnlGrndWv.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;

Good day everyone,
I need to design and implement a Class Library project for the Heap data structure.
Is there anyone know where I can have a reference or a sample project?
If you're interested in, pls help.
Thanks so much.

I've created a custom control that uses ControlStyle.BackBuffer ControlStyle.User etc...
And i show a marquette when i move the mouse.
the problem is if i use ControlStyle flags the control doesn't flicker but the it is impossible to see the marquette, if i doesn't use ControlStyle flags the marquette is showed correctly an it follow the mouse but the control flicks.
Whow can i avoid the flickering drawing also the marquette?

I assume you are using CreateGraphics to obtain a Grpahics object to draw your marquette to. You should in this case instead fill some field with the info on where to draw the marquette and call Invalidate to initiate a complete redraw of the control. Than in OnPaint you can also draw the marquette.
If this is too slow because the painting function is very complex you will have to paint into a bitmap first and then draw this onto the control. While only the marquette is changing you could always just draw the bitmap + marquette.

Hi,
I'm using rtf syntax to create link in richtext box in C# windows application. My problem is I cannot change the link color. My code is as follows:
string clrTable = "{\\colortbl;\\red0\\green0\\blue0;\\red255\\blue255\\green255;\\red128\\blue128\\green128;\\red0\\green255\\blue0;\\red100\\green100\\blue100;\\red0\\green0\\blue255;\\red0\\green255\\blue255;\\red0\\green0\\blue0;}";
rtLink.Rtf = @"{\rtf1\ans1 " + clrTable + "\\cf1 \\cf4 \\v ftp:\\v0Help \\cf1}";
"ftp:" is used to create "Help" as link. The clrTable has no effect in deciding the link color. When uses "ftp:", it is having default link color blue. Is there any other way to change the link color.
Please help.. Thank You,
Linda.

Hey! I ran into a little problem today... i think it's an easy one, but i don't have the answer. I have a string n declared and i want to delete all the rows in one database(sql) which contain that string(completely, not parts of the cells in the databases). so i wrote:
SqlConnection sqlconn = new SqlConnection();
sqlconn.ConnectionString = "Data Source=CATA;Initial Catalog=datagrid;Integrated Security=True;Pooling=False";
sqlconn.Open();
SqlCommand sqlcomm = new SqlCommand();
sqlcomm.CommandText = "DELETE FROM datagrid WHERE name ='"&n&"'";
sqlcomm.Connection = sqlconn;
sqlcomm.ExecuteNonQuery();
but i get the following message when i try to run the program: Error 1 Operator '&' cannot be applied to operands of type 'string' and 'string'

drc_no1 wrote: sqlcomm.CommandText = "DELETE FROM datagrid WHERE name ='"&n&"'";
that would be:
WHERE name ='" + n + "'";

Yup, it works. Thanx a lot!
Now i have another problem... I have a datagrid and i have added one button column called delete. when i press delete, i want my row to disappear. But, i can't find a suitable event for clicking that button. all i find is cell content click or any other that aplies to the whole row, not only to that cell contining the row. Can u help me, pls?

While HollyHoo's suggestion would probably work, I suggest you read this[^] article to know why your code is vulnerable to SQL injection attacks.

Hi,
I'm trying to manipulate files in a C# program, when I delete a file however I run in to problems. It seems the file isn't really deleted until my application exits. I've tried it through File.Delete() and FileInfo.Delete(), and it seems to make no difference.
The problem comes when after I have deleted the file I rescan the folder using Directory.GetFiles() and the "deleted" file is still there, except I can't read it.
Do I need to somehow flush my file deletion??
Thanks in advance.
