Yes, but you never mentioned you were updating a database as well.
If you use the designer to set up a DataAdapter derivative in VS.NET (or any design designer) or use a command builder (like SqlCommandBuilder you'll notice that the InsertCommand property is comprised of an INSERT statement followed by a SELECT statement. This is to make sure that any auto-generated fields are selected into the DataTable correctly. This is not necessary for UPDATEs because the fields already existed.

I would like the click/doubleclick events in my code to ony be performed when the LEFT mouse button is clicked once and twice respectively.
The event handler for the double click event, for some reason, requires that the RIGHT mouse button to be clicked AFTER the left mouse button is double clicked. What could possibly be the reason?
Also, the EventArgs parameters for the Click/DoubleClick event handlers do not have (e.KeyState = 1) method attached to it or the (e.Button = MouseButton.Left) like the MouseDown event does.
How could I get the Click and DoubleClick events to respond to the LEFT mouse button only in C# code?

A double-click is defined as the left (or right, on a left-handed mouse configuration) click times 2 within a certain configurable threshold. In order to handle double-clicks you'll need to implement a Timer and use the Click event to determine if there was a double-click. To fire the event, simply call OnDoubleClick form your base class (the default implementation fires the DoubleClick event).
To only fire the Click event for left clicks, you need to override OnMouseDown and then determine which mouse button is down. Store that as a field. In an override to OnClick, only call base.OnClick if the left mouse button was pressed. A click occurs after a mouse button is pressed and released, so at the time the event is fired no mouse is pressed:
private bool leftMouse;
protected override void OnMouseDown(MouseEventArgs e)
{
leftMouse = e.Button == MouseButtons.Left;
base.OnMouseDown(e);
}
protected override void OnClick(EventArgs e)
{
if (leftMouse)
base.OnClick(e);
}There is no need to check the current mouse configuration for the user since Windows will translate right-clicks to left-clicks if the mouse is re-orientied for left-handed users.
Why doesn't the Click event use the MouseEventHandler (which would dictate that the event pass a MouseEventArgs parameter)? Because it's in response to a mouse press and release as I mentioned above. To store this state data when not necessary is very wasteful. Only in rare cases like yours would it be necessary, so the Framework gives you the means to define such state variables.
If ever you need the position of the mouse or the buttons being pressed anywhere in your code, you can use the static Control.MousePosition and Control.MouseButtons properties. Keep in mind that the Control.MousePosition returns screen coordinate (relative to the upper-right of the screen), so you need to convert them to client-coordinates to typically be of any use. To do this, call the instance method Control.PointToClient on whichever Control requires the client-coordinates in regard to its extents.

I have a custom control I'm creating that mainly consists of a tab control. When a certain method is called by the main program the control creates a new TabPage and sets it as the active page. The TabPage itself is actually a class that inherits from TabPage rather than the base TabPage and what it is *supposed* to do is automatically create a DataGrid control on the page and bind the grid to a DataTable. The way I've tried to do this is by have a private member in the inherited TabPage class and creating the new DataGrid in the overridden InitLayout method and setting it up there (I set docking to fill). This works fine up to this point. The problem is if I set the databinding in the InitLayout method (I tried OnCreateControl as well) the grid appears and is correctly bound to the correct DataTable but I find a horizontal scroll bar appears halfway up the control that is about half as long as the control itself. If I horizontally resize the containing window or change any of the column widths the scroll bar disappears.
Now the even stranger thing is that if I create a second TabPage it doesn't have this phantom scrollbar, but if I select the first TabPage and create a third page, the scroll bar reappears.
I can avoid the problem by having the main program call another method in the TabPage to bind the data *after* the control has been created, but that rather ruins my encapsulation.
Is this some weird bug?

Please click "Search comments" at the top of the forum (not the page) and search for something like "list computers". This has been asked and answered more times than I care to count. Knowing how to research problems is an important part of development and the CodeProject site gives you effective tools if you'd just use them.

I have been writing a windows app in c# using vs2003. It uses the HansBlomme code for displaying the app in the notification area.
The problem is that when I try to shut down windows (only tested on xp sp2) whilst the app is still running, windows shuts all other applications down but hangs when it gets to mine. Doesnt even bring up a end now dialog, just kind of sits wallowing in its own self-pitty.
Any ideas, anyone else had this problem. Not even sure if it has anything to do with the hansblomme code or not.
Cheers
Mike

I am not familiar with HansBlomme code but, I would assume you are trapping the WM_QUIT (OnClose..) message and canceling the close. This is how windows shuts down apps. You probably trap this to hide your main window instead of killing the app when the [X] close button is pressed.
I handle this by making my main window hidden. This invisible window is the one that owns the notify icon. On double click (or open), I fire off the main UI window. When the main UI window closes, the hidden window keeps the app alive in the system tray. When windows says to shutdown, the hidden window shuts down.

I have a .NET DLL, whose class has a Main() method.
I want to create a new process from my application and put the DLL on that process.
I expect the Main() in the class to be treated as the entry point resulting in execution of the DLL.
The intention being that if the DLL crashes or hangs, the parent application is not affected.
Is this feasible? If so, how?

If I understand your question correctly then I don't think it is possible. You want to define your application entry point in a separate assembly. I know the IDE won't let you do it and I believe the command-line compiler will not let you do it either. The problem is that .NET uses delay-load on assemblies so the dll containing the entry point won't be loaded until it is needed (after the application starts). The entry point has to be defined before the application starts. I may be wrong here but I don't see a way of doing it directly. You could possibly do it through MSIL.
In regard to your intentions I don't think it'll give you what you want anyway. You can't "put" a DLL into another process directly. Due to the way dlls are loaded into Windows you can't simply load a dll into a process and then move it to another process. It would be a security hole. Debuggers and profilers get around it by debugging the app. This gives them direct access to the process'es memory. There is also an API to access a process'es memory directly but you have to basically be an admin before it'll work.
Irrelevant of all this if a method throws an exception, inside a dll or otherwise, then the parent application will be affected unless the method or one of its callers catches the exception. Having your entry point in a dll does nothing toward exception handling.
A way to get some of the functionality you want, putting the entry point into a dll, would be to call the entry point within the dll directly in the application main.
For the exception handling you should hook into the unhandled exception framework defined by .NET. For Windows Forms handle Application.ThreadException event. For all apps you can also handle the AppDomain.UnhandledException event. In both cases though you'll have no idea what happened and your program state should be considered to be corrupted.

Hi experts,
I am going to write a class which protocols error messages into a bug-file.
To identify the files/classes/memberfunctions which fails, I am searching for a (Pre)compiler directive
somthing like #file_name, #class_name, #member_fuction, #row which inserts automaticly the names at it's position.
Is there something like that available ?
Thank you in advance
Frank

C++'s __FILE__ and other pre-processor directives are handy and fast (since they are executed at compile-time), but you don't have anything like that in C#.You can have some comparable information with the StackTrace class and/or with stack trace information on exceptions.
Be aware that the StackTrace class is not a high-performance class, and can impact your performance seriously if you start logging using it.
Besides, the StackTrace class will only give you line numbers if you send a .PDB file with the file (even on Release builds, you can generate/send a .PDB file).
Yes, even I am blogging now!

whenever i use
setstyle( ... ) ;
and in my paint function i do something like
void paintMethod( .., .. )
{
using( Graphics g = e.Graphics )
{
g.doesSomeDrawing();
}
}
the ... statements replace the actual code wich is corect
i am getting an error message saying "Additional information: Invalid parameter used."
and if i don't use the using statement everything works fine .. no error message !

I suspect it is the using
you are copying an existing Graphics object, not assigning a new one.

You can either not use the using statement, safely, or you can try something like this:
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
using ( g )
{
g.doesSomeDrawing();
}

The actual exception is because the caller of OnPaint (most often WndProc) is trying to dispose the Graphics object and it's already been disposed.
He should not be using using at all.

I thought it might be something along those lines, wasn't sure though. Too drugged up to think about it and no VS.NET at work to test it with. 8( Let me tell you, life sucks without a compiler at fingertips!

I didn't have a compiler. 
Basically, if you didn't alloc it then you don't free it. In native APIs this isn't always the case, though, since some APIs alloc memory and expect the caller to free it. Such APIs should always document such a requirement.

The answer is simple. The using statement resolves to the following code:
try
{
g.doesSomeDrawing();
}
finally
{
g.Dispose();
}
U are disposing a graphics object that u dont "own" (e.graphics). On a general basis you should only dispose graphic objects that you explicitly create through the Control's CreateGraphics() method or through a New Graphics() statement;

Hello,
I run the program below to handle winmessages from an application written in a 4GL. From within PaintExtras() I would like to call a function in the 4GL program to retrieve some properties (to be able to draw the icon on different positions f.e.). How can I do that? I can send the 4GL 's window-HWND to NotifyWindow in my C# program.

Hi,
I read from this tutorial at codeproject
Question A:
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/GsXPathTutorial.asp
regarding xpath.. but i try to apply in my situation, and can't get it work...
just say this is my xml file:
Device.xml
=========
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DeviceList xmlns="http://tempuri.org/Device.xsd">
<!-- Device 1 -->
<Device id="1">
<Connection>
<Type>Titan123</Type>
<Open />
<ConfigCard>
<Name>Titan Suprema</Name>
<Length>13</Length>
</ConfigCard>
</Connection>
</Device>
<Device id="2">
<Connection>
<Type>BBB Hardware</Type>
<Open />
<ConfigCard>
<Name>BBB DH</Name>
<Length>6</Length>
</ConfigCard>
</Connection>
</Device>
</DeviceList>
In my C# code,
string devicePath = Application.StartupPath + @"\device.xml";
// open XmlTextReader
...
int nMaxId = 0;
// get maximum devices within XML script
while(xmlDevice.Read())
{
if (xmlDevice.IsStartElement() && xmlDevice.Name == "Device")
{
int nId = Int32.Parse(xmlDevice.GetAttribute("id"));
if (nMaxId < nId)
nMaxId = nId;
}
}
}
// Execute XPath here
XPathDocument xdoc = new XPathDocument(devicePath);
XPathNavigator nav = xdoc.CreateNavigator();
// loop into 2 possible devices and extract particular information
for (int i = 1; i < nMaxId + 1; i++)
{
XPathNodeIterator nodeItor = nav.Select(
"DeviceList/Device[@id='" + i + "']/Connection");
nodeItor.MoveNext();
TraverseChildren(nodeItor);
}
...
// from the article
private void TraverseChildren(XPathNodeIterator nodeItor)
{
XPathNodeIterator igor = nodeItor.Clone();
igor.Current.MoveToFirstChild();
bool more = false;
do
{
PrintNode(igor.Current);
more = igor.Current.MoveToNext();
}while(more);
}
private void PrintNode(XPathNavigator nav)
{
MessageBox.Show("Value: " + nav.Value +
" Type : " + nav.NodeType.ToString());
}
From this solution:
i get this instead:
MessageBox1 - Value: Titan123 Titan Suprema 13BBB Hardware BBB DH 6
MessageBox2 - Value: Titan123 Titan Suprema 13BBB Hardware BBB DH 6
(repeat the same message - why?)
Any help please?
I want to get the Output of this:
MessageBox1 - Value: Titan123 Titan Suprema 13
MessageBox2 - Value: BBB Hardware BBB H 6
Question B:
By the way how can i get the value of individual Type example,
showing the output here:
Type - Titan123
Name - Titan Suprema
Length - 13
i always only manage to get the type which is "Name" and the whole message "Titan123 Titan Suprema 13" instead separate data.
Any help please? Thanks.

Chua Wen Ching
