Am I just missing the point here?
Yes i think you are, because the point is that a transparant control just paints it's parent. So when the browser and the render label are both on the form (have form as parent), and the label is over the browser, the label will just paint the form.
I don't know about the browser (like it's an ActiveX or something). Does the browser control has a Controls property, just like the label? If so, try adding the render label to the browser (browser.Controls.Add(render_label)). But again i don't know if that is even possible. 
Waiting for your reply!

That does indeed make sense. The ActiveX browser component that I am using does indeed have a controls property, however it doesn't function the way I would hope. So basically I have 2 labels and the browser. I have added the inner most label to the controls of the second label. I have then added this second label to the controls of the browser, and then added the browser itself to the controls of the form. That seems to be just what we're looking for here.
However, it still does not appear transparent. I think it has to do with the OnPaint event of the browser...namely that it doesnt have one. The Invalidated() event is probably quite similar, but I'm confussed on what to put in this event_handler in order to repaint the browser onto the labels?
Here is some code that demonstrates what I'm trying to do...just like above but I've added the browser to it. You'll probably have to add the AxSHDocVx resource as well as the Microsoft.mshtml resource to the project should you using it in VS.NET

When a control has a transparent background, it does InvokePaintBackground[^] and InvokePaint[^] on its parent. So if the browser doesn't paint anything in OnPaint and/or OnPaintBackground (wich is probably the case), i think you're screwed... 
Maybe you should repost your question, explain that it's in an ActiveX browser control so that normal Let-My-Parent-Paint-My-Background transparency doesn't work, you can give a link to the top of this topic if you want.
Toedeloe!

Does anyone have a clever idea on how to bind RadioButtons?

How do I exactly do it?
I am just learning C#, I have a C++ background and in C++ it was something like this:
class someclass {
public:
int somemember;
someclass(int i)
}
someclass::someclass (int i) :
somemember(i)
{
}
Is there something similar in C# or is this enough?
class someclass
public int somemember;
public someclass(int i)
{
somemember = i;
}
}
Tnx

While looking at all this XML stuff I keep seeing this stream thing. What exactly is stream when doing xml syncronization?
Thanks

A stream is an abstraction of the idea of data flow. In other words, a stream is most typically a file on your hard drive, but can be something else.

When I populate my datagrid in my dialog app can I limit it as to what columns I want to show?
Also I found an example on how to do ADO.NET programming in C# using name space system.data.ADO. However I do not have this on my machine. Did this change and if so what tutorial would be a good one to read to show the changes?
Last question If I'm opening an Access 2000 database using the dataset (hopefully this is right) would this be okay if i'm populating a list control or would a datagrid work better?
Thanks

You can use your DataSet's ColumnMapping property to hide a column.
// Creating connection and command sting
string conStr = @"Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;data source=C:\northwind.mdb";
string sqlStr = "SELECT * FROM Employees";
// Create connection object
OleDbConnection conn = new OleDbConnection(conStr);
// Create data adapter object
OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter(sqlStr,conn);
// Create a dataset object and fill with data using data adapter's Fill method
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
da.Fill(ds, "Employees");
// Hide the column and attach dataset's DefaultView to the datagrid control
ds.Tables["Employees"].Columns["LastName"].ColumnMapping = MappingType.Hidden;
dataGrid1.DataSource = ds.Tables["Employees"];

Does anyone know a way to get the type names of custom attributes applied to a class when the assembly is loaded in ReflectionOnly mode?
The only method to get custom attributes that I know is Type.GetCustomAttributes; but since that returns attribute instances and not just the type name, it can't be used in ReflectionOnly mode.
I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking something before sending a suggestion to Microsoft.

ReflectionOnly mode means the type is loaded in "inspection context".
That is a .NET 2.0 feature to load assembly if you just want to reflect on them without creating types.
It's faster, doesn't lock the assembly file etc...
But you can't get instances from ReflectionOnly assemblies, so GetCustomAttributes() always results in an exception.
But I just found the solution myself: CustomAttributeData.GetCustomAttributes(type)[^] gets information about the attributes in a ReflectionOnly compatible way.

If I have 5 tabcontrol windows on my Form1. Is there a way of

Thank you

hello
i am new in programming and also in C#. i have a problem regarding for loop in three dimentional array .
i am pasting piece of code in which i want to check that a value exists in array or not
rook_moves = new int[ 64 ][][];
rook_moves[ 0 ] = new int[ 2 ][];
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 0 ] = new int[ 7 ];
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 1 ] = new int[ 7 ];
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 0 ][ 0 ] = 1;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 0 ][ 1 ] = 2;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 0 ][ 2 ] = 3;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 0 ][ 3 ] = 4;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 0 ][ 4 ] = 5;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 0 ][ 5 ] = 6;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 0 ][ 6 ] = 7;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 1 ][ 0 ] = 8;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 1 ][ 1 ] = 16;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 1 ][ 2 ] = 24;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 1 ][ 3 ] = 32;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 1 ][ 4 ] = 40;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 1 ][ 5 ] = 48;
rook_moves[ 0 ][ 1 ][ 6 ] = 56;
if i want to search that '48' exists or not please tell me how i will implement it in C#
thanks

Ok i'm not 100% sure but i think something like this is what your asking for.
<br />
for (int i=0; i<64; i++)<br />
{<br />
for (int x=0; x<64; x++)<br />
{<br />
for (int z=0; z<64; z++)<br />
{<br />
if (rook_moves[i][x][z] == 48)<br />
return true;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
This code, i'm pretty sure, would check every single slot in the Array for 48.

Hello,
I'd like to read in a few enviroment variables for an application that will automate a few tasks. VB has a function 'Environ' that can look up env variables with the key as the parameter. Is there anything simular in C#? It it's not possible through C# then I assume to use some api calls.
Thanks,
Bic2k

Yup, figured it out myself of course.
string path = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("PATH");

Please note that the environment variables created within the application will not be
available after the application exits.

Hi all,
In C# system service I need to get some string from MFC mainframe
window by SendMessage() API call. I managed to send message, but can
not find the way to return string to C# app.
I tried to use lParam:
C# side
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(256);
SendMessage(process.MainWindowHandle, WM_GET_AUTH_MEMBER, 0, sb);
C++ side
CString member = "SomeString";
strcpy((char*)lParam, member.GetBuffer());
Then on C# side sb has not been changed
Any idea ?
Please if someone did it post the example,
I would greatly appreciate,
Roman
