Does the shortcut point to the actual application or the "launcher" application? Either way, you could check for the existence of the process first off and switch focus to it if you find it running. Something like
bool IsProcessAlreadyRunning(string processName)
{
Process[] processes = Process.GetProcesses(processName);
return (processes != null && processes.Length != 0);
}
If the above method returns true, you know that an instance of the process is already running. You could then use the MainWindowHandle[^] of the corresponding Process object to get the window handle and P/Invoke some Win32 API (Activate?) to bring the existing process' window into focus.
Hope this helps.

Look into the software program TrueCrypt. That application is a perfect example of Virtual Drives (encrypted). I do believe it is open source, but I know for sure it is not .NET. I am sure the program still lead you in the right direction, if it is anything like what you are looking for.

Sorry but TrueCrypt software is File Encryption software to securely save your data on local file system.
I want to connect the folder of remote server i.e. http://remoteservername/foldername.. and that folder should be appear as drive (virtual drive) in "My Computer"..
after that i will be able to do all operations on it, as normally we are doing in our locl file system..
Thanks for your reply Thomas

Hi there,
I want to create a menubar and tool bar using menustrip and toolstrip. Tool bar should come under menubar and it should also be dragged and dropped anywhere onto the form. There are multiple toolbars and they should appear next to the other. What could be the right code to achieve this?
|

|

To place toolstrip under menustrip, follow the z-order mechanism. i.e., add the controls last as it will display it first(top). It takes reverse mechanism.so, add your controls in reverse order.

You'll need to define what days are weekend days in your code and check if the weekend days land in between your two dates...

hi
my table in sql2005 have a nvarchar DataType that save string values, but when i insert values in my code it is show "???????" symbols.
now i want to convert my textBox.text to utf-8 Encoding and save to SqlServer, but how to do this ??(convert to utf-8 Encoding string)
thanks
|
|
|
|

You can use the Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes method to convert a string into an UTF-8 encoded byte array, that you can store in a binary field in the database.
I'm not sure that's what you are looking for, though. It sounds like you want to store the string in the nvarchar field that you already have, but an nvarchar field does not use UTF-8 encoding.

I've written up how to add a button to a form, here : http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/DynamicallyAdding_Button.asp
To add a textbox, just follow the instructions but with a textbox instead of button.
something like this;
TextBox myTextbox = new TextBox();
myTextbox.Name = "inputbox_1";
myTextbox.Left = 100;
myTextbox.Top = 100;
this.Controls.Add(myTextbox);
To loop through a the text boxes, do something like this;
foreach (object myTextBox in this.Controls )
{
if (myTextBox.GetType().ToString() == "System.Windows.Forms.TextBox")
{
TextBox thisText = (TextBox)myTextBox;
MessageBox.Show(thisText.Name );
if(thisText.Name.SubString(thisText.Name.Lenght-1)=="inputbox_")
{
}
}
}
This is very basic, friday afternoon, off the top of my head, just before xmas code. So there are better ways of doing this, but this should get you started..... . ...

Hi all,
I have a working BHO in C# - a browser helper object - which can find things on a webpage based on the element's id attribute value.
Now I wish to retrieve the text or word anywhere on any webpage that the user has clicked on. I have done this the ATL/C++ way but I'm nowhere near finding a solution to this in C#/COM Interop.
Anybody with the experience? Help is REALLY appreciated!!!

I’m currently working on a website that we are trying to make accessible. Now I added a page to the site which provide some drop down lists to the users. Such as background color (bgcolor), text size, zoom in (? Not sure how yet), font and things like that. The problem is my very limited experience with ASP.Net. I am a starter. I’d appreciate if one of you guru’s can help me out. Now I can’t or perhaps I should say don’t want to use Java script (user requirement). So basically I have to write server side code that will perform those things (change color, size, font ) etc. Now in my HTML code I have added the runat = “server” attribute to the form element. But that only exposes the Style property when I use it in code behind (under Page_Load event). I don’t want to use style because we won’t be using a CSS for this and I think style property only works with CSS. Since I will be hard coding a few values below in my drop down list and set the values of the color to their hexadecimal value such as #00ff00 for green.
<br />
All I want to be able to do when the user clicks the Button, the page and a few more pages will adopt those properties and change color, font etc. The later having the other pages adopt the same values is something I have figured out (I’m planning on using session state for that) Please help me out with this. I even tried exposing a runat = server attribute to the element so that I could programatically change the value of the whole body under the button_click event. But that didn’t work either. Thanks~ Tina

That is what tutorials are for. Go find one there are many. For sure on MSDN and perhaps on Code Project. Here is a tutorial for using CodeProject forums:
ASP.NET Questions should be posted in the ASP.NET forum.

ASP.NET works entirely by sending javascript to the client. You probably can't use ASP.NET in any meaningful way, and meet this requirement.
Tina P wrote: and I think style property only works with CSS
CSS allows you to name styles. You can use the style property to set the style of a single control, without using CSS.

I am working on a new project which I intend to release as Open Source. I did some looking around and the two strongest seem to be NLog and log4net. Both seem like they would meet my immediate needs, so I figured I would ask here to see what people think:
1) Are there any other logging packages I should consider?
2) Which logging package is most popular?
3) Which logging package is most popular in open source .NET projects?
4) Is there any clear pros and cons to these packages?
Thanks

NLog and Log4Net are both excellent packages. You may also want to consider XQuiSoft[^] and the minimalist EZLogger[^] (pardon the shameless plug  ), both of which are published at CP.

but can u tell me then is there somthing right and why it does not end with 20
<code>#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int a ,i[20];
a=20;
for (i=0; i<a; i=+2)
{
printf("%i");
}
return 0;
}
</code>

There are really many things wrong.
#1: the for loop should be either i=i+2 or i+=2
#2: you're not assigning values to the array i
#3: you're using i (which is an array) as the variable in the for loop.
