Not sure if this is the correct group for this question but I am working with C#.
I'm migrating from VS2005 to VS2022 and having problem with ControlDesigner in my Control. It seems that the ControlDesigner is not functioning. I'm not too familiar with ControlDesigner programming so after working on this for a while I decided to start from scratch. I found an example in Microsoft Help Viewer for ControlDesigner. I copied and pasted the example code into a project UserControl1 and it too does not seem to function. When moving the mouse over the control the outline does not highlight and also the OutlineColor property is not shown in the Properties window.
Can someone help? Below is the sample code from Help Viewer. The only difference the test control is called UserControl1
Thank you.
using System.ComponentModel;
namespace TestApp
{
public class ExampleControlDesigner : System.Windows.Forms.Design.ControlDesigner
{
private bool mouseover = false;
private Color lineColor = Color.White;
public Color OutlineColor
{
get
{
return lineColor;
}
set
{
lineColor = value;
}
}
public ExampleControlDesigner()
{
}
protected override void OnMouseEnter()
{
this.mouseover = true;
this.Control.Refresh();
}
protected override void OnMouseLeave()
{
this.mouseover = false;
this.Control.Refresh();
}
protected override void OnPaintAdornments(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs pe)
{
if (this.mouseover)
{
pe.Graphics.DrawRectangle(
new Pen(new SolidBrush(this.lineColor), 6),
0,
0,
this.Control.Size.Width,
this.Control.Size.Height);
}
}
protected override void PreFilterProperties(System.Collections.IDictionary properties)
{
PropertyDescriptor pd = TypeDescriptor.CreateProperty(
typeof(ExampleControlDesigner),
"OutlineColor",
typeof(System.Drawing.Color),
new Attribute[] { new DesignOnlyAttribute(true) });
properties.Add("OutlineColor", pd);
}
}
[DesignerAttribute(typeof(ExampleControlDesigner))]
public partial class UserControl1 : UserControl
{
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
}
}

Here's the same code; only more complete, it seems.
ControlDesigner Class (System.Windows.Forms.Design) | Microsoft Docs

Yes this is the example where a copied the test code from. I tried this example 'as is' but it did not work.
The code in my question is the same; It just uses a UserControl1 that I created in my test project while debugging.
I did not include the UserControl1.Designer.cs code which includes the other code.
Thank you

It's not the same; it does not have / or you removed the disposing code.
Or did you think it just wasn't important so it's: "as is"?

I'm sorry for the confusion. There are 2 files to a UserControl when created from the application:
In this case
UserControl1.cs
UserControl1.Designer.cs
The latter file contains the standard Dispose() code which I did not supply since it's just standard code.
For arguments sake, I started with the code you referenced 'as is'.. That means I copied and pasted the whole sample into a project file, built it, and tried it by loading it into a from from the toolbox; it did not function as described...
1. When the mouse moves into the control, the control does not show the highlight the border as the MouseEnter() method should do.
2. The property that is added in the designer "OutlineColor" does not show in the grid properties.
I've managed to get the debugger to work in DesignMode and set a break points in the MouseEnter() method and the OutLineColor.Set property and the OnPaintAdornments() method. None of the break points are hit when the control is loaded into the form.
thanks

can anybody guide me
how to save Image or Bitmap to svg file
thanks

You can't: one uses pixels (bitmap); the other uses vector graphics (xml).

is Image a file format for saving textures? I might have heard of the "img" as file format but I`m not absolutely confident.

I Knew if I asked the question I would get it to work. I tried a different nuget package,
specifically System.Data.SQLite and now it works. Sorry for the bogus post.
I've just upgraded to VS2022 from VS2005 so I am sort of lost. I've tried several methods from
suggestions on the internet and still have not been able to add a reference to sqlite in my
test project. When I try to manually add the sqlite3.dll I get a message saying the dll is immutable.
Articles on the internet seem to suggest you can use it but I can't find a way to add a reference.
Can someony help?
Thanks

Hi,
How do I set the voice in Text to Speech in C#?
I have a toolStripMenu that I load the voices into. Then when one is chosen, I want it to use that voice. Haven't been able to figure set the voice to the chosen name.
Thanks.
private void Get_Voices()
{
ISpeechObjectTokens voices = objSpeech.GetVoices("", "");
foreach (ISpeechObjectToken v in voices)
{
ts_Menu = new ToolStripMenuItem();
v_name = v.GetDescription(0);
ts_Menu.Text = v_name;
ts_Menu.CheckOnClick = true;
voicesToolStripMenu.DropDownItems.Add(ts_Menu);
ts_Menu.Click += voice_Menu_Click;
}
}
private void voice_Menu_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToolStripMenuItem item = sender as ToolStripMenuItem;
foreach (ToolStripMenuItem tempItemp in voicesToolStripMenu.DropDownItems)
{
if (tempItemp == item)
{
tempItemp.Checked = true;
}
else
{
tempItemp.Checked = false;
}
}
choosen_voice = sender.ToString();
}
private void Speak(string txt)
{
SpVoice objSpeech = new SpVoice();
objSpeech.Speak(txt, SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync);
objSpeech.WaitUntilDone(Timeout.Infinite);
}

You're welcome - but please try the official documentation first next time!

I use C# in Visual studio 2022 (in portuguese) and I have a form solution where I open an Excel file and introduce data. In one cell I have to put a formula: "=IF(H5=0;D5;H5)". When I do this I receive an error: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: 'Exceção de HRESULT: 0x800A03EC'. For simple formulae, like "=B4*C4", it works fine. The error is the same wheter the formula is in portruguese or english. Does anyone know what is hapening? Thanks.

Googling the error code returns several hits suggesting that switching from .xls to the more recent (and more functional) .xlsx format can fix the problem. As always: An error code may have different underlaying causes. Maybe this doesn't help with yours. Make sure to use the .xlsx format anyway, to be sure that that is not the cause of your problems.

You should be using comas; not semi-colons.
IF function

Gerry. You are right. In my language we use semicolons. When I substituted the semicolons with commas, it worked! Thank you!

See my answer to your original question on this subject.

Hint: If you have to call .ToString more than twice in a single method, your design is showing signs of being flawed to the point of being unsalvageable and needs to be scrapped and your approach to the problem redesigned from scratch.

The error means that you are trying to use a variable reference that does not point to a valid object. For example in the following line:
string[] ops = Console.ReadLine().Split(space);
If the call to Split does not return any strings, then ops is a null reference. You need to use the debugger to find out exactly where the exception is thrown.

To add to what Richard has said ...
This is one of the most common problems we get asked, and it's also the one we are least equipped to answer, but you are most equipped to answer yourself.
Let me just explain what the error means: You have tried to use a variable, property, or a method return value but it contains null - which means that there is no instance of a class in the variable.
It's a bit like a pocket: you have a pocket in your shirt, which you use to hold a pen. If you reach into the pocket and find there isn't a pen there, you can't sign your name on a piece of paper - and you will get very funny looks if you try! The empty pocket is giving you a null value (no pen here!) so you can't do anything that you would normally do once you retrieved your pen. Why is it empty? That's the question - it may be that you forgot to pick up your pen when you left the house this morning, or possibly you left the pen in the pocket of yesterday's shirt when you took it off last night.
We can't tell, because we weren't there, and even more importantly, we can't even see your shirt, much less what is in the pocket!
Back to computers, and you have done the same thing, somehow - and we can't see your code, much less run it and find out what contains null when it shouldn't.
But you can - and Visual Studio will help you here. Run your program in the debugger and when it fails, it will show you the line it found the problem on. You can then start looking at the various parts of it to see what value is null and start looking back through your code to find out why. So put a breakpoint at the beginning of the method containing the error line, and run your program from the start again. This time, the debugger will stop before the error, and let you examine what is going on by stepping through the code looking at your values.
But we can't do that - we don't have your code, we don't know how to use it if we did have it, we don't have your data. So try it - and see how much information you can find out!
