Hi Jack,
I got your problem.
This can be solved by p/invoking LockWindowUpdate.
In MouseDown you lock the window update and in MouseUp you need to unlock it.
Please revert back whether you could do as mentioned above.
Otherwise I will send you the code showing How to do it?

Regards,

Jay.

Thanks Jay it works, just one more question:

How can I select first row of DataGrid in form_load event, if I could simulate click on first row then my mouse_up and mouse_down events would apply on that row. Is there an easy way of doing this?

Regards,

J.a.c.k

Simply call myDataGrid.Select(0), as below:

if(myDataGrid.VisibleRowCount > 0)
{
	myDataGrid.Select(0);
}

Many thanks for your reply
I have a test app with a bound grid a number of columns two are Time

I have a seperate routine which defines the columns of the grid
for the relevant column
DataGridTableStyle ItemList= new DataGridTableStyle();
ItemList.MappingName="TblEventitems";

DataGridTextBoxColumn Col3=new DataGridTextBoxColumn ();
Col3.Headertext="Start";
Col3.MappingName="EIStart";
Col3.Format="HH:mm";
Col3.NullText="00:00";
Col3.Width=50;
Col3.Alignment=HorizontalAlignment.Center;

ItemList.GridColumnStyles.Add(Col3);
DataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(ItemList);

other columns save OK even for the same record but the time remains 00:00 I have tried removing the NullText format

The Date saves OK (which I don't need) but the time is 00:00 If I change the time directly in the table it displays Ok in the grid but then I get a Concurrency Violation if I try to update

You could ged rid of the Stream TextSave and use

if(spil.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
  TextTest.SaveFile(spil.Filename, RichTextBoxStreamType.PlainText);
}

instead.

Hi I have a untyped dataset and also a typed dataset on my design surface. To add new tables to my untyped dataset I can go thru' Tables collection in properties window. But it's a tedious job. Can I somehow copy the structure of table from Typed Dataset(which have been generated using DataAdapter) into Untyped one?

C# IPHostEntry Cache???

Here is one of the coolest few lines of code to perform a NSLookUp. Simply enter an IP in textBox1, click a button and the domain name translates in textBox2 (providing your workstation is on a WAN.

Q. How could we build a 'cache' to capture redundant IP's/Domain's to add lookup performance???

Q. How could we add our own know IP's/Domain's to this 'cache' ??? (Because NOT every IP will resolve)

Preferably the code would check our personal 'cache' first before looking on the Internet or elsewhere.....

public void ButtonLookupDomain_Click(object sender, EventArgs ea)
{
IPHostEntry IP = Dns.Resolve(textBox1.Text);
txtBox2.Text = IP.HostName;
}

{

}
else
{
  IPHostEntry IP = Dns.Resolve(textBox1.Text);
  txtBox2.Text = IP.HostName;
  somehashtable[textBox1.Text] = IP;
}

Excellent, clean and simple coding. I like it so far... The more I study windows DNS, I realize my goal is to create my own 'hosts' file. I can write to it and IPHostEntry can read from it instead of the 'hashtable' you've so kindly shared.

Q. How can I create my own 'hosts' file in place of the 'hashtable' example???

Thank You.....

DNS was made to remove the need for HOSTS file. Heck you can even just edit the windows one then (i do for my little local network) in $windir\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

which xml class to use to parse?

can someone suggest which xml class i should use to easily find a certain, possibly nested, element tag and read its value? i've been playing with the xmltextreader class but it's not immediately obvious how to do it with this class. i'm not well versed in XML vocab, so this might be a problem. thanks for any help.

You should look into xpath expressions - they are a spacialized xml querying language, precisely for what you are trying to do.

A shorter answer would be to the question, "What XML classes can't I use to parse and read values from XML files?"

Take a look at the System.Xml namespace in the .NET Framework SDK at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemXml.asp[^]. It's also installed locally by default when you install the .NET Framework SDK or Visual Studio .NET (any version), which also installs the .NET Framework SDK. There's plenty of articles that describe this on MSDN Online[^] (it seems that not a week goes by without another XML article), and there is a great section on working with XML in the .NET Framework SDK. Read Employing XML in the .NET Framework[^].

Notice how much I mentioned the .NET Framework SDK? It really should be your first place to look and you should definitely read over the programming topics to gain a better understanding of what's available in the .NET Framework base class libraries, as well as the CLR and other .NET technologies themselves.

Exposing busines object assemblies to Visual Basic for Applications?

Member 9620-Aug-04 14:21

Member 96

20-Aug-04 14:21

Just wondering about something: In the old c++ days we used to make com components that could be called in something like a Word Macro script (Visual Basic for Applications) or in Microsoft Access by adding a reference to it in VBA code behind a form etc.

This brought real value to our apps for end-users comfortable with working in VBA, not only could hard-core developers use our business objects, but relatively casual end-users could as well. This seems to be something we might have to give up for our .net based apps.

We have a business object library written in C# that compiles into a .net assembly that can be used by programmers in c#, VB.net etc etc, is there any method to expose that same functionality for VBA macro people?

(I've found some references to "VSA" that seemed to be in the neighborhood of what I'm thinking of, but those references are very old (circa 2001, 2002) and many different ones claim that VSA is a dead-end project by Microsoft that is flawed and being deprecated.)

On another tack entirely, if the above is possible, is it then not also possible to add VBA scripting ability to our own c# Windows Form app that consumes our business object library so that users could create their own macros and "run" them in our app. Kinda like in Word you can create a document or you can run a macro to create a document etc.

I've researched this but seem to get stuck on the fundamentals, any ideas / links would be greatly appreciated.
