When you change the focus by using the keyboard, focus events occur in the following order:
- Enter
- GotFocus
- Leave
- Validating
- Validated
- LostFocus
When you change the focus by using the mouse or by calling the Focus method, focus events occur in the following order:
- Enter
- GotFocus
- LostFocus
- Leave
- Validating
- Validated
There is nothing strange in that, is it?

Hi SkyWalker,
There is nothing strange if your code does not depend on it.
However, i wrote a code that that register to control's "LostFocus" event and do some job there.
If the user call some other method - i unregister the event handler, but it should be done only after the "LostFocus" occurred.
Because the the user traditionally will call my method in the "Validate" event, you may understand why this behavior raise some problems.
However to overcome it i do the following:
I registered to the "GotFocus" event, and within this event handler i registered to the "LostFocus" event.
When the "LostFocus" event occurred, i do my job and unregistered the handler when it completed.

I have a simple question with no doubt a complex answer. What I am trying to achieve is to check LAN for machines (mostly Workstations but could be windows xxxx Servers among them and find which ones are running a particular Service.
Is there a relatively easy way of doing this? What sort of security measures could get in the way? The service I'll be searching for will does export a remoting interface.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Happy programming!!

One way could be using
<br />
[DllImport("MPR.dll")]<br />
public static extern UInt32 WNetEnumResource(IntPtr hEnum, ref Int32 lpcCount, IntPtr lpBuffer, ref UInt32 lpBufferSize);
Some code example[^]

When you design a form in Visual Studio 2005, you may put a control in form and set properties of this control. After you did this, Visual Studio will insert codes to XXX.designer.cs automatically. Even the control is a Third-Part control, Visual Studio can do the same thing.
So, my question is how to do the thing by ourselves ?
|

|

By not doing it in the designer. If you want to control the property completely, create it in your form's load event, and add it to the forms Controls collection.

You can write the code by yourself.. declare objects and initialize them in InitializeComponent() (run the method in constructor) if you want them to be available at design time or in OnLoad event if you want them to be created at runtime.
vs designer uses *.designer.cs files (and keyword 'partial') to separate it's code from yours. so the file isn't needed.

NEVER add code to InitializeComponent, the IDE will change it on you without warning.

true.. but otherwise they won't be available at design time..

Is there a way to tell if the Code is running as a Windows App or Web? If so how?

Well, if it's running as a web app, then it's running on a server, not on a client. Any UI classes will have a different root. I don't see how this could ever come up, unless you're talking about controls that are hosted in a browser, not ASP.NET code ?

I have a common library that runs in a Windows App and a web app; not controls; I was using pre-compile directives i.e. #if; but that's a bad work around since I have to recompile; I would think that there is a way to know what environment you are running in but I can't find it; I'm thinking about breaking out the code so that I have a Windows version and a Web version; but keeping them in sync is a nightmare.

Hi,
If your library is called in a web context you should be able to query for the System.Web.HttpContext.Current object. If running as the Windows app this code will throw a NullReferenceException (i.e. there is no HttpContext) so you could put this test in a try / catch block and set your environment based on the results of the test?
Admittedly that's pretty inelegant but I can't think of a better way. Any other suggestions?

public static bool IsWindows
{
get
{
try
{
if (System.Web.HttpContext.Current == null)
{
return true;
}
}
catch
{
}
return false;
}
} // end IsWindows
Thanks it works better then anything else I tried; may not need to put it in a try; it seem to just be null in Windows; but I'm not sure about Mono so it's better than getting an error; but I still think there should be a function to do this; it seems like this is as basic as a function need to see what OS your running like IsMono.

Perhaps, but to give a good answer to that one should really need to know a bit more about why you are asking the question. If the code doesn't already know that, why would it care?

I just posted answer seconds after you posted this (please read); in short in have a library of code (non-controls) that has logic that I use in both windows and web apps; the problem is that if I need to notify the user; or gather information; I need to know if I'm running in a Windows app or web app; pre-compilers (#if) are not a good solution since the main solution contains both Windows and Web app and I deploy them at the same time. It sounds odd that code should know what environment it is running; apps generally written for the web or windows; but when you have common libraries then the need is great and it seems that there should be a function to return that information without having to poke around with a hack like looking for folder names like "Program Files" or something even stupider; I have looked for this answer to no avail and my next step is to ask MS; which for a guy is like asking for directions when I'm lost; I have a map; just no clue as to what state I'm in.

I see. You need the library to know how to do things, as it's doing things that it shouldn't. 
It's not the library that should do the interaction with the user. Create events in the library for actions that need user interaction, so that the code that is using the library can implement event handlers that take care of the interaction.

This should return the host executable's location:

Hi Everyone,
I am writing a stand alone application in C# which uses some database( I have not yet decided which database to use)
Application will be installed on user's machine and each application will have it's own DB.
now, I want to protect the database, so that no one can view the database using any tool, like enterprise manager or query analyzer, etc.
please help in finding solution for this, as I am very confused and have got no ideas how will it work.
in VB6, we used access database, but access is not an option here.
either SQL or SQL Express.
Regards,
Prady

Because of the specific project ? You can use Access in C#.
SQL Server is more secure, you just need to set the password on the SS instance, and keep it in your program.

HI Christian,
thnx for the super quick reply.
what do u mean by SS Instance?
can u please provide some URL where I can get more information about this.
I am more interested in using SQL Express than MS Access.
my only fear is ppl being able to view the complete database if they install Enterprise manager on their machine.
Regards,
Prady

I just mean SQL Server. You can have more than one instance of SQL Server installed on one machine, there's the default and then you can have named instances.
ahujap wrote: I am more interested in using SQL Express than MS Access.
That's a wise decision, so long as you're ready for the extra headaches of deploying SQL Server.
ahujap wrote: my only fear is ppl being able to view the complete database if they install Enterprise manager on their machine.
They are no more likely to do that, than they are to install Access ( which more people have ) and open your MDB.
The main questions are:
1 - is this a rational fear ( i.e. are you hiding stuff you don't want people to see ? )
2 - how desirable is this data ( that is, to what lengths would people go to get it ? )
You log on to SQL Server. If you make sure the sa password is not blank, and make sure that the user doesn't know the SQL Server password ( which means you'll need to install a named instance, otherwise, you want to change the SA password on an instance they may have ), then make sure that information is hidden in your code. But, if your code is C#, then it can be found through reflection, so, again, the question is, how secure does it need to be ?

I think instalation of SQL Express can be bundled with application installer using VS2005, am I wrong?

Yes, application is about ppl attempting some coureware and then the results will be uploaded to server once they have internet connection on the machine.
So we dont want ppl to go to database and change results.
what do u suggest?
