I'm currently trying to create an OpenDialog that is similar to the Windows Explorer in appearance.
(TreeView on the left, ListView on the right)
To get the logical drives is pretty simple. I just use the Directory.GetLogicalDrives() method.
However, I didn't find anything similar to access network drives, like in the Network-node
in the Windows Explorer TreeView.
I found a few solutions, that take hundreds of lines of code to get the result, that this one method
achieves for the logical drives.
Is there no shorter way? If there is one, what is it?

Is there a reason why you're not using the common OpenFileDialog? Unless there is some technical reason or compelling user scenario for not doing so, I'd suggest using the common Windows dialogs because they help to keep a consistent user interface across applications and therefore breeds familiarity for the user. In addition, if Microsoft decides to revamp the dialogs, your application will automatically inherit the improvements. Plus, it's a lot less work. 
Anyway, just my humble opinion. I realize that the common dialogs won't work well in every possible situation.

The common OpenFileDialog can't be modified (At least not without some rather complicated hacking.).
I just thought it would be a lot nicer to have one dialog instead of using the common dialog and opening a custom dialog upon closing the common one, to ask the user for all the remaining settings.
With my custom OpenDialog filtering is a lot more flexible. I can not only filter files by their ending, but also display them in the listView without it.

Hi all,
I have a large processing job that is taking an hour or two. I have a simple form that contains a statusbar panel that informs the user with progress. At the moment the update is a text string but I might move to a progress bar in the future. However, the main question is this:
If I click elsewhere (outside the program) and then return focus to the form, the statusbar text does not redraw and update. It ends up stuck on wherever it was when I left it. Furthermore, it even does this if I simply move the form slightly without losing focus.
Can someone advice what to do to maintain the updates?
TIA
Jerry

Are you doing your processing in the same thread as the GUI runs in? It sounds like it. If so, you have two options - you can either break out your processing to another thread, or you can simply make sure you call Application.DoEvents() regularly.
Hope that helps

Application.DoEvents() fixed it! Thanks!!

Im using a 3rd party DLL to create a graph. When calling some methods within this DLL i get exceptions because the control is running in a internet trusted zone. I do not have access to the 3rd party DLLs code so i cant add 'new UIPermission().Assert();' statements within the DLLs.
Is there a tool/way of signing a DLL so it will be trusted? i already sign the DLLs with my certifcate.
Regards,
Gareth.

The 3rd party company fixed the problem for me by removing some offending code.

Hi everyone!
Please tell me what below statement mean
<br />
Regex regex = new Regex(@"[:_.\w]+\s*=\s*(""[^""]*"")|('[^']*')\s*"); <br />
Thanks
|

It's a regular expression that matches a string of the form SomeKey = "Some Value" or SomeKey = 'Some Value'.
SomeKey can be a string consisting of :, _, . and any alphanumeric character, while Some Value can be a string consisting of anything except the speech marks that contain it. There can also be any amount (or none) of whitespace around the = sign.
Hope that helps.

It creates a Regex object with the string as pattern. Regex is short for regular expression, and is used for pattern matching.

Hi all,
I've recently been working on an IRC bot in C# (yes, I know there are a thousand others that could probably do what I want, but it was for the experience as much as anything) - the core of the bot works perfectly fine, but one of the subsystems, a plugin system, is giving me no end of grief.
To support unloading plugins, I isolated plugins in their own appdomain, and so far that has worked just fine, but I recently implemented a few changes - I decided to write an auto-updater as a plugin, so I set the plugin appdomain to use shadow copying, and strongly named assemblies (for a bit of security). The auto-updater queries a server regularly, and downloads any new or updated assemblies to the plugin directory, before reloading the plugins.
Now from what I've read, if shadow copying is enabled, when an assembly is loaded, it will first be copied to the shadow directory and then loaded from there, and any subsequent load attempts will use newer assemblies from the plugin directory (rather than the shadow copied version) if they exist. However, if I try to load the new assembly specifying a complete AppName, and the assembly version has changed, the load fails, with the fusion logs remarking that it found an assembly (purportedly in the plugin directory), but that it has the plugin version of the previously loaded assembly (I've checked in explorer, and it is definitely the correct version).
I've been able to work around this by loading by using the codebase, but that has an unacceptable downside in that it doesn't check that the public key token matches.
The only thing I can think of is that the previous version of the assembly is still loaded in a different appdomain. If anyone has any suggestions, or could put me right if I've made any incorrect assumptions, I'd appreciate it. The code is available, but I'd prefer not to check this broken code into my SVN if I don't have to.
Apologies if that was too rambling, but it's early in the morning and I'm running low on caffeine.

I would like to make the first column in my ListView readonly but dont know how. Can anyone help please. Eg. I have three columns in my ListView:
SubjectName Option1 Option2
----------- ------- -------
Crabs ? ?
Fish ? ?
Something ? ?
Grass ? ?
Flowers ? ?
I need to make the SubjectName column read only so that the users can only enter an option in option1 or option2 without changing the text in the SubjectName column.
Many thanks in advance

AFAIK a listview (in details mode) gives one column that may or may not be modified
(depending on LabelEdit), all others are read-only.
So I suspect you need another kind of control.

No, but with the designer in VS2005, it's kind of trivial to whip up sample UI.

Please tell what are the types of those projects (windows application, class library) and how are they related to each other (project1 referencing project2 or the other way around).?

This is Windows Application and project1 referencing project2
|
|
|
|

Ok, just to clarify completely. Project1 compiles to a windows application and project2 assumably compiles to a class library that is used by the application, right.?
As project2 does not know about the types declared by project1 and also cannot know (you're not allowed to reference an executable), your best bet would be declaring an event in project2 that signals to project1 (or any other) that it should open the form (or whatever it wants to do in reaction to the event occuring in project2). Project1 registers to this event and inside the event handler opens the wanted form

you have to reference the Myproject1 in Myproject2 like this:
using Myproject1;
Then you just initialize an instance of the form that you want to open. For example the form named is myForm;
<br />
myForm form = new myForm();<br />
form.Show();<br />

I am try it but it not show Project1 forms in project1
in project2
using Project1
project1form not shows
