as you've got answers concering windwos services:

I don't think you want to write a service-app. (services shouldn't use GUIs! - aka forms etc.) - you just want to start the app on starup? - Well put a link into your autostart (startup whatever) - folder in your start-menu!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

c# windows control fails to load in the webpage

i have a windows control which is to be loaded on a webpage(.aspx page)
control is loaded with the aid of "object" tag
the control is developed in C#.net(managed code basically)
the control makes use of the system resources and even makes use of some other dll's too

problem:
the control fails to load on the webpage

first solution tried:
change the .net security with the aid of caspol
so i tried giving full trust to all code
this worked fine and the control got loaded.

however this worked fine only when the webpage was a part of the default website in IIS
in case if the webpage which hosts the control is a part of a virtual website apart from the default website
the control is failing to load

so what might be the problem...??

from some of the blogs which i read...the .net tries to give trust
to assemblies based on from where the assembly is getting streamed
so i also tried to load the control by making this site a trusted one
still the control didn't load

any idea...as to might b wrong....

I've been working on something very similar recently, and having almost identiacal problems!

I'm a lil confused by your post however - what do you mean by Virtual Website? Do you mean that the folder you're hosting the control in is a virtual directory, configured in IIS?

If this is the case, you shouldn't be having any problems - but of course we always do! Some things to check would be to ensure that the control is actually being served by IIS - I had issues with the control not being downloaded. Simplest way to check is to clear out temp internet files, navigate to the page, then check that the .dll has appeared in the folder (View files from IE Tools-> Internet Options) If it hasn't appeared, then the problem is with IIS, if it has, then probably a security issue.

If it isn't being served, check that the application's Execute Permissions (IIS Admin -> Site Properties) are set to Scripts only - i had mine set to Scripts and Executables, so when requested, IIS was treating my dll as an exe, and attempting to run it rather than serve to the client.

If it's a security issue, it may be that the evidence you're using isn't quite right. Most of the docs recommend using strong name evidence. The problem with this is that is causes stack walk problems with the app domain. I used site evidence, at the all code level, by issuing:

caspol -m -ag 1 -site www.mysite.com FullTrust -n MyGroupName

This creates a sub group of the All code group at the Machine level, granting full trust to anything from www.mysite.com.

Hopefully this helps Smile | :)

Hi
I have the following code which is supposed to increment 1 but it seems to be incrementing by 3

any suggestions?

cheers

string maxquery = "Select max(activity_order) from roomactivitylk where room_code = 'v1106'";

int max;

SqlCommand cmd15 = new SqlCommand();
cmd15.Connection = con;
cmd15.CommandText = maxquery;
max = Convert.ToInt32 (cmd15.ExecuteScalar());

max = max + 1;
++max;
max++;(needs to only be one of these)

If that was really your problem, you can't have possibly written the DB code you posted ? You should buy a C# programming book and work through it.

I thought it would, it just works in a different order, like:

int a;<br />
int b = 4;<br />
int c = 3;<br />
<br />
a = b++*c;<br />
//a would be 12, b would be 5<br />
//the line is executed, then b is incremented<br />
<br />
b=4;<br />
c=3;<br />
<br />
a = ++b*c;<br />
//a would be 15, be would be 5<br />
//b is encremented, then the line is executed

I'll have to go check now.

1. Use BitBlt API or PrintWindows API to capture the screenshot of your window form.
2. Save it as image in your memory stream or disk.
3. Print this image.

Example : Printing a Windows Form[^]

Hope it helps.

Image of complete form or image of any control can be drawn on a bitmap object using Control.DrawToBitmap() function, here it would be something like, this.DrawToBitmap().

Once you get snapshot on a bitmap object, use PrintDocument control and draw this image using e.Graphics.DrawImage in PrintPage event of PrintDocument.

I hope this helps.

1 - ask in the ASP.NET forum
2 - why do you want to, and what do you mean by 'on the fly' ? ASP.NET allows you to use things like literal controls to generate any HTML you like. You can also create controls themselves on the fly, but if you do, you'll have to work hard to get events from them.

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
