Is it possible to set the Encoding that the WebBrowser control uses? I have a project that pulls content from RSS Feeds and generates HTML output, writes it to file, and then displays it in the webbrowser. However the generated html sometimes renders weird in the Western European Encodings (Windows, ISO). I would like the control to auto-select the encoding the file is created with (in this particular case UTF-8) Is it possible to do so?

Hi, after hours of googling i decided to try my luck here 
I'am exploring the world of C# scripting.
Does anybody know how i can export an instance of a object to make
it availble from my script. My plan is to export an object to my scripts
from where i publish some basic functions to interact with the "host program's" GUI.
(I'am new to .NET and C# so mabey i'am aproaching this in the wrong way)
I would really appreciate a tip on this one!
Here is how i run my scripts at the moment:
<br />
public void ExecuteSource(String sourceText) <br />
{<br />
CSharpCodeProvider codeProvider = new CSharpCodeProvider();<br />
<br />
ICodeCompiler compiler = codeProvider.CreateCompiler();<br />
CompilerParameters parameters = new CompilerParameters();<br />
parameters.GenerateExecutable = false;<br />
parameters.GenerateInMemory = true;<br />
parameters.OutputAssembly = "CS-Script-Tmp-Junk";<br />
parameters.MainClass = "CScript.Main";<br />
parameters.IncludeDebugInformation = false;<br />
<br />
foreach (Assembly asm in AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()) <br />
{<br />
parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add(asm.Location);<br />
}<br />
<br />
CompilerResults results = compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(parameters, sourceText);<br />
<br />
if (results.Errors.Count > 0) <br />
{<br />
string errors = "Compilation failed:\n";<br />
foreach (CompilerError err in results.Errors) <br />
{<br />
errors += err.ToString() + "\n";<br />
}<br />
MessageBox.Show(errors, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);<br />
} <br />
else <br />
{<br />
object o = results.CompiledAssembly.CreateInstance("CScript");<br />
Type type = o.GetType();<br />
MethodInfo m = type.GetMethod("Main");<br />
<br />
m.Invoke(o,null);<br />
if (File.Exists("CS-Script-Tmp-Junk")) { File.Delete("CS-Script-Tmp-Junk"); }<br />
}<br />
} <br />

Or mabey i should use VSA scripting for this application instead?
All tip's and hints are more then welcome

I'm sure I'll kick myself when I see the answer to this, but I'm having a complete brain fart at the moment. I have a custom control that I'm writing for an ASP.NET custom control (it's here because I think the question is generic to both ASP.NET and Windows Forms). What I want is for my property editor to show a drop down with the names of all the controls on my page. I know how to retrieve the ID's of all my controls, I just can't get the TypeConvertor to work properly. Here's my TypeConverter derived class:
<br />
public class RequiredControlListTypeConverter : TypeConverter<br />
{<br />
public override bool GetStandardValuesSupported(ITypeDescriptorContext context)<br />
{<br />
return true;<br />
}<br />
<br />
public override bool GetStandardValuesExclusive(ITypeDescriptorContext context)<br />
{<br />
return true;<br />
}<br />
<br />
public override bool CanConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type destinationType)<br />
{<br />
if (destinationType == typeof(string))<br />
return true;<br />
return base.CanConvertTo (context, destinationType);<br />
}<br />
<br />
public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)<br />
{<br />
if (destinationType == typeof(string) && value is string)<br />
return Convert.ToString(value);<br />
return base.ConvertTo (context, culture, value, destinationType);<br />
}<br />
<br />
public override bool CanConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, Type sourceType)<br />
{<br />
if (sourceType == typeof(string))<br />
return true;<br />
return base.CanConvertFrom (context, sourceType);<br />
}<br />
<br />
public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value)<br />
{<br />
if (value is string)<br />
{<br />
IDesignerHost host = (IDesignerHost)context.GetService(typeof(IDesignerHost));<br />
Page page = (Page)host.RootComponent;<br />
return page.FindControl((string)value);<br />
}<br />
<br />
return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, value);<br />
}<br />
<br />
<br />
public override System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter.StandardValuesCollection GetStandardValues(ITypeDescriptorContext context)<br />
{<br />
IDesignerHost host = (IDesignerHost)context.GetService(typeof(IDesignerHost));<br />
Page page = (Page)host.RootComponent;<br />
StringCollection ctrlIDs = new StringCollection();<br />
FindControls(page.Controls, ctrlIDs);<br />
return new StandardValuesCollection(ctrlIDs);<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void FindControls(ControlCollection ctrls, StringCollection ctrlIDs)<br />
{<br />
foreach(Control ctrl in ctrls)<br />
{<br />
if (ctrl.HasControls())<br />
FindControls(ctrl.Controls, ctrlIDs);<br />
ctrlIDs.Add(ctrl.UniqueID);<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
This TypeConverter is used on a property whose type is System.Web.UI.Control. The problem I'm having is that when I go to choose a control, I get the controls type (System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox, for example), not its ID. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jamie,
Perhaps, the problem is in the ConvertFrom method of your custom type converter. Instead of returning the Id of the control, the method returns the Type of the control from the result of the FindControl method. You may try this when the value is of the string type:
public override object ConvertFrom(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value)
{
if (value is string)
{
return value;
}
return base.ConvertFrom(context, culture, value);
}Also, you can try the two options below:
+ Your custom converter can inherit from the StringConverter, and comment out four methods: CanConvertTo, ConvertTo, CanConvertFrom, ConvertFrom.
+ Use the ControlIDConverter instead of developing a custom converter.

Hi Minh. Thanks for the input. Unfortunately, that didn't work, and I can't use the ControlIDConverter class, because it's a new addition to .NET 2.0, and I'm trying to write my control to support 1.1 and up. I'll keep digging, though.

Hi leppie. Name didn't seem to show up in my Intellisense, so it's either not available, or Intellisense isn't picking it up. I'll play around some more with it at lunch. Thanks for the input, though.

Fixed it. I had to make the following change:
public override object ConvertTo(ITypeDescriptorContext context, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture, object value, Type destinationType)
{
if (destinationType == typeof(string) && value is Control)
return (value as Control).ID;
return base.ConvertTo (context, culture, value, destinationType);
}

Hi.
I have a gridview (GridView1) with a SQL database as datasource.
the datasource has no data, so the gridview contains no data.
my problem is that in the gridviews footer, there is a textbox and a button to insert data to the database. but they are not shown because the gridview is not shown.
So how do i display the gridview even when it contains no data ?

Hi,, i'm workin for 15 hours till now on that tiny piece of code, and i just can't get it right...
in my application i have DAL a class with all the Database functions..
my problem is when i want to update the sql server with a dataset..
when ever i use the automated SQLDATAADAPTER wizard , it's ok..
but i want it to be through the code..
I know that if i want to use the DataAdapter.Update(Dataset) i need to implement the UpdateCommand,DeleteCommand ,SelectCommand and insertCommand.
And i also know the SqlCommandBuilder can generate those sqlcommands automatically.
but when i try doin
SQLDataAdapter.UpdateCommand = SqlCommandBuilder.GetUpdateCommand();
i get the followin error.
ExecuteReader: CommandText property has not been initialized
Please Help .. i'm STUCK!
i'm postin my DAL as well...
Thanks!
public class DAL
{
private SqlConnection conn;
private SqlDataAdapter adapter;
private SqlCommand selCommand = new SqlCommand();
private SqlCommandBuilder builder;
public DAL()
{
conn = new SqlConnection("Server="+AppSettings.AppSets.ServerAddress+";Database=MaftehDb;Integrated Security=SSPI");
adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
builder = new SqlCommandBuilder(adapter);
selCommand.Connection = conn;
adapter.MissingSchemaAction = MissingSchemaAction.AddWithKey;
adapter.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand();
adapter.SelectCommand.Connection = conn;
adapter.UpdateCommand = new SqlCommand();
adapter.UpdateCommand.Connection = conn;
builder.RefreshSchema();
adapter.UpdateCommand = builder.GetUpdateCommand();
adapter.InsertCommand=new SqlCommand();
adapter.InsertCommand.Connection=conn;
adapter.DeleteCommand = new SqlCommand();
adapter.DeleteCommand.Connection = conn;
}
}

Hii,
Here the piece of code all you need.
You must the same DataSet and DataAdapter for the update operation.
private void UpdateData()
{
if (myDataSet.HasChanges())
{
adapter.Update(ds.Tables[0]);
myDataSet.AcceptChanges();
}
}
private void LoadData()
{
conn = new OleDbConnection(ConnectionString);
conn.Open();
selCommand = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM EMP",conn);
adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(selCommand);
builder = new OleDbCommandBuilder(adapter);
myDataSet = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(myDataSet);
dataGrid1.DataSource = myDataSet.Tables[0];
}
You can pass the OleDbDataAdapter,DataSet to your DAL method.
Regards,
Gokulan

Just like in C++, you find the TaskBar window by its name using the FindWindow P/Invoke and send the window a message through the ShowWindow P/Invoke.

In VS 2003 there were toolbar buttons for toggling case-sensitive and whole word searches. I often used these in situations where I'd done a keyboard search and then decided I needed to toggle to case-sensitive or whole word. It was easy to use the buttons to do this.
However, these buttons, and the underlying commands, seem to be absent from VS 2005. Anyone know how to do them without having to bring up the Find/Replace dialog?

Hi,
I want to create an application with a small backend Database, currently i decide to use an Access DB for now, but what should be the proper way to implement the connection?
I have tried to add an existing access file into the Project, Visual Studio automatically create a DataSet.xsd file for me, what is the use of that file?
Thanks Alot
Hope to find the Answer
From a beginner

when you are using MS Access Db, Better to use OLEDB Connection. connection string as follows
http://www.sqlstrings.com/MS-Access-connection-strings.htm[^]
DataSet.xsd file is auto generated xml file, will exists client side, .NET Disconnected architecture will follows this xml file.

 Hi,
Hope this piece of code will help you.
//Add the Microsoft Word 11.0 Object Library Reference
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;
//Fields
private object objSave = false;
private object objOrgFormat;
private object objRouteDoc;
private void IterateWordDocs()
{
//Get the active Word Application
GetWordApplication()
//Iterate docs
foreach (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document doc in WordApp.Documents)
{
if(doc.Name == "YourDocName")
doc.Close(ref objSave,ref objOrgFormat,ref objRouteDoc);
}
}
public void GetWordApplication()
{
Type typeVisioApp = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Word.Application");
object objWord = Marshal.GetActiveObject("Word.Application");
this.WordApp = (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application) Marshal.CreateWrapperOfType (objWord, typeVisioApp);
}

I was seeing the UI of Virtools Dev(www.virtools.com). I was wondering how they did it. How did they built it? They used photoshop to make the various components and then import them in Visual Studio? How can you make a custom UI with WinForms but use your own graphics and of course attach functionallity to them?
