Not exactly, but I think this is probably going in the right direction.
The states are:
* Optional
* Potential, but optional
* Mandatory
* Potential, but mandatory
Potential meaning that a certain condition must be met first. Any potential action can transition to plain optional or mandatory. Certain actions are, by necessity, potential while there is a mandatory action available as the condition to be met is the invokation of the mandatory action.
I will look in to state machines, but I have to admit to not having read much about them. I'll look for some information on it. If you know of a good article to read on the subject I'd be grateful for a recommendation.
Cheers.

What I was thinking is that you could have a list of all actions, maybe represent these actions as an enumeration. Your application has a number of discrete states. Each state understands which actions are optional, potential, etc. You could possibly store this information in some kind of lookup table.
Anyway, my point is to not look necessarily at the actions as states, but rather have states that know what actions are mandatory, optional, etc.
Also, if some actions are mandatory, you could have a state execute them regardless of whether the user has selected them. In your UI, you could make sure the right radio buttons, check boxes, or whatever are selected programmically (and maybe switch to readonly so they can't be deselected).
I could go on and on.  Hope this has given you some ideas.

There is method called CopyTo(src_start,dst,dst_start, length) in class String. While dst is a Char or __wchar_t array. What will be the best way to Copy part of First String to another String? For example, String *Str=S"dirName/filename", I would like just take the file name so I start copy from 8 from Str to another Char dst[]. But dst is not String instance.
Any better ideal? Thanks

System.IO -> file.* has all proper methods to parse any string like this...

Let me solve the problem by myself to see if it is correct
Char str1[]={' ', ' ',' ', ' ',' ', ' ',' ', ' ',};
String* str2 =S"Long String";
str2->CopyTo(5, str2, 0, 6);
String* fileName= __gc new String(str);
Then fileName will be "String"-- which is part if str2.

How can I either detect that the onscreen keyboard has popped up and resize/rearrange my form elements, or have the form autoresize when the keyboard is displayed.
Right now my input field is hidden underneath the keyboard.

u can get the proper windows handles of all app windows that are loaded on desktop by a series of activeDesktop api functions; refer to this function 's owner api doc for details
Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As Long

Dear all,

there are many articles about sms sending on code project ; they basically send sms through a computer connected(usb or bluetooth) cell phone by etsi standards.codes make use of serial communication apis; opening a com port to cell phone and using it like a modem(used not to call somewhere ; do not worry) with etsi ruled modem commands. Etsi is supported on all phones. But many libraries should be customized on a small bit. The date time usage of your country(important)
search codeproject for "etsi" or "send sms" i think u get the idea

Is there a first class URL/URI object in the .Net framework or are they operated upon as strings? If it's the latter, is there a helper class that allows you to extract components of a URL (protocol, host, etc)? Thanks,

It is said that Assembly.Load is a Dynamic Reference. Can anyone explain why it is a Dynamic reference? Furthermore, could someone please explain to me what Static Reference and Dynamic Reference mean?

If you load something during the execution of your code its called dynamic referencing, as you only load it when you need it. Assembly.Load does this. This can be usefull if you need to load tons of references but don't need them all the time.
Static references are those that are loaded as soon as your application is started.

Thanks for the Info. Everything's falling into place now.

Hi everyone. i've written Photo editor. Currently it is WindowsApp.
I need to put it on the site. It's done by putting original APP to the WinControl.
And that dll can be used on the site, like:
<object id="ImageEditor" classid="ImageEditor.dll#ImageEditor.ImageEditor">
The problem first big problem - is that i can't use unmanaged code, i needed to put some UnmanagedCode permissions.
I've made big changes to the logic of it - and it doesn't use unmanaged code no more.
Onve i've finished convertion app to Control, i found that new permissions should be given:
Request of the Permission of type
System.Security.Permissions.UIPermissions (details in the end)
This is done when i use mouse (clicking on the workspace), when i'm changing the font - it appears after the standard dialog is closed.
From this point i need to solve this problem somehow.
I've tried to put the AssemblyKeyFile - but when i do that, applet isn't loaded at all.
Somewhere i've read that client that will use this editor needs to put PublicKeyToken to his trusted keys - but i can't find where do i put that.
Have anybody got some ideas of how to handle that?
Thanks for help.
Details of exception
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type System.Security.Permissions.UIPermission, mscorlib, Version=1.0.5000.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.

on the browser computer you need to run a specific .net commandline command that can be gacutil(global assembly cache utility) with proper permissions and keyfiles specified. pls look at its usage on msdn

the applet is not loaded to the GAC, it's loaded to some temporary internet cache.
gacutil /ldl - list all utils from downloaded chache.
i'm still wondering how to do that

How would one go about protecting controls from unlicensed use? I know that you can use imperitave security, but how still seems unclear.
If have a control, do I create a custom permission, and demand that permission on access to my control's interface. Then how do I guarantee that only my client is granted that permission?

Hi there,
I had been for over 3 days trying to solve this problem and I have no clue of what's wrong.
I'm trying to create a Dynamic DNS service using only one DNS Server (dns.firmaware.com), but created a second NS record (dns2.firmaware.com) with the same IP address.
First of all I've created a small app in VB .net that updates (using WMI) Microsoft DNS Server whenever an IP change was reported.
It creates different zones for each sub-domain and adds NS records, updates SOA record to change the TTL and MinimumTTL and finally adds/updates the A record.
I know that zone creation/update is working fine because I tested my VB .net several times and checked that Microsoft DNS entries were created/updated.
After checking all that I created a record like “test.gimmeall.com” and resolved it from my home PC. Using “ipconfig /displaydns” I checked that “test.gimmeall.com” had the following values:
localhost
----------------------------------------
Record data . . . . . : test.gimmeall.com
Record type . . . . . : 1
TTL . . . . . . . . . . . : 60
Data length. . . : 4
Section. . . . . . . . . . : Answer
A record (host) . . : 213.13.100.111
So, TTL was fine, if I changed test.gimmeall.com’s A record, after 60 seconds it would be updated, BUT that’s not happening because, after my update, when I ping the same host again it returns the same IP address and when I type “ipconfig /displaydns” it returns the following result:
----------------------------------------
Record data . . . . . : test.gimmeall.com
Record type . . . . . : 1
TTL . . . . . . . . . . . : 85823
Data length. . . : 4
Section. . . . . . . . . . : Answer
A record (host) . . : 213.13.100.111
It looks like that ISP or something else is caching “test.gimmeall.com” with invalid values, but it’s not an ISP problem because tried from different ISP companies and always had the same result.
Can you help me please?
I would be very thankful.
Regards,
Filipe Freire

What kind of options does this dialog box asks. If it is the one that asks for installation folder and for whether installing it for everyone or for me then go to the "User Interface View" and delete the "Installation Folder" dialog box from the list.
If u r referring the dialog box that asks to confirm installation then remove "Confirm Installation" dialog box from that list.
Hope it will solve ur prob if I m right

I have a class that performs a single atomic, stateless task. However, I need to multithread this class in a barrage against a test server, and the ThreadStart delegate constructor must have a parameterless method.
I have two alternatives: to add state to my original class and set this state through properties before starting the thread, or isolating the state in a wrapper class whose parameterless method calls the parameterful method in the original class?
What say ye?
