Try this:

string message = "MyStorage (C) 2006 IT Academy";
string caption = "About MyStorage";
MessageBoxButtons buttons = MessageBoxButtons.OK;

MessageBox.Show(this, message, caption, bttons);

Hmm.....

The title shows up now, but there is still no text for the message, and there is no text on the button...

Thanks, though. I'll keep trying.

I'd buy a new computer, with a new copy of Windows, and a new copy of Visual Studio. You got something funky happening and it ain't code.

It sounds like you might have a virus or something really evil in your machines (perhaps Satan has inhabited your hard disk). Reformat the machine, if you have the time.

I have a feeling that there is no virus or anything like that.

We've tried running it on some brand new computers, and it still doesn't work.

I have a feeling that there's something wrong with my project settings or something. I'll keep looking.

If anyone has any additional info, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

This happen`s on all your project`s or only on this one?. Try creating another project and try on that one MessageBox.Show("test"), just to know if it`s something in your code or whith visual studio.

This happens on all projects, and on all machines with Visual Studio.

Due to the previous "random" nature of whether or not it worked on seperate machines, I believe it has something to do with a Windows Update, because we push out updates here through WSUS.

That would explain why some computer showed the text, and some didn't; and now none work.

Soo.... anyone have any idea of any Windows or Microsoft Updates that would cause such a problem?

me.Certifications = null;

Greetings:
That`s really strange, i have all of the windows updates, and never had this problem, i really dont know what could be the problem, one workaround could be to create another form in the application that serves as the message box, then you could just pass the text to display to it and show it, something like this:

//Assuming youre MessageBox form is called FormM
FormM temp=new FormM();
temp.setText("blabla","blabla");//A method you define for setting the text
temp.ShowDialog();

//The method for defining the text. This method is inside FormM
public void setText(string x1,string x2)
{
this.Text=x2;
label1.Text=x1;//Assuming you´re using a label for the text
}

hope that helps until you fix the problem Smile | :)

Drawing on Map

Hi All,

I got a problem where I want to draw some lines on a Map(JPEG, BMP, GIF), and data for these lines are in Latitude and logitude form. I have some idea that I can do it by Drawing object(GDI object), but converting latitude and longitude data into pixels might be error prone.

Can anybody help me ?
Is there any efficient way for doing it ?

Please let me know.

Thanks

I suggest you become very familier with coordinate systems as you attempting to plot a coordinate system designed for a 3D sphere (ish) onto a 2D image. There are so many approaches depending on what you know about the image(s) that you need to study them all. Drawing a black blob on the image is the least of your worries.

Using C# .NET 2 and Generic ReadOnly Collections

satvinder12345677-Jul-06 4:30

satvinder1234567

7-Jul-06 4:30

I am developing a Save method in my business Process that allows me to Save the current object (scheme) and all it child collection objects, so that all I need to do is call bp.Save(Scheme) and it saves via reflection the entire tree.

I have a class "Scheme" which contains as properties a number of ReadOnlyCollections e.g. ReadOnlyCollections<milestone> and ReadOnlyCollections<partner>.

"Milestone", "Partner" and "Scheme" have a "Save" method and inherit from the same object (hcdbEntity).

I want use Reflection to call the "Save" method on the Scheme and each Milestone in the collection(becuase I have many other collections hanging off Scheme and Milestone) and don't want to hard code.

When I view the property info for the scheme I have to check for contains "ReadOnlyCollection" as the property.PropertyName holds "ReadOnlyCollection'1".

property.PropertyType = {Name = "ReadOnlyCollection`1" FullName = "System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection`1[[Business.Entity.Scheme.SchemeMilestone, Business.Entity.Scheme, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]"}

The currentValue that gets returned by calling the Invoke method returns a list of the seperate items in the collection, but gives me no way to process them individually, or get a handle on them to call the Invoke method to call their Save method, or to be able to transverse down the tree to call collections further down as required.

private void DoA(HcdbEntityClass entity)
{
Type t = null;
System.Reflection.PropertyInfo[] properties;
object currentValue = null;
t = entity.GetType();
properties = t.GetProperties();
foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
{
Type a = property.GetType();
if (property.PropertyType.Name.Contains("ReadOnlyCollection"))
{
currentValue = t.InvokeMember(property.Name, BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, entity, new object[0], CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
}
}
}

I am assuming that I need to return a object and use the generic.MakeGenericType to regenerate the collection type for the object. I have spent more than a day trying without sucesss, anybody done this sort of thing before and have a small sample;), or am what I am doing impossible.

Have you considered serialization rather than reflecting through your objects?

Why don't you just serialize it with the BinaryFormatter, SoapFormatter, or XmlSerializer?

You can define an interface so you do not have to check for the readonly collection. Then a simple is comparsion will let you know. Also reflection seems unncessary.

SendKeys problem

I am using the SendKeys class to switch to a browser and enter login details. This works fine in IE, but in Firefox, the letters are each typed twice (e.g. jjoohhnn), and Tab and Enter don't seem to work correctly.

The right window has the focus, because something is being entered, but not correctly, at least not in Firefox.

I use:
SendKeys.Send("john{TAB}doe{ENTER}");

Is this a problem with the code, or might Firefox be at fault?
Can anyone help?

Thanks!

I've had similar problems with SendKeys; generally it doesn't seem to work too well. I was able to get around some issues by doing different things with Send, SendWait, and adding an Application.DoEvents call after the Send.

In other words, I've found SendKeys to be unreliable. I suggest you look into sending window messages via the Win32 SendMessage API.

You should try using the current culture to get your date format. When converting a DateTime, you should do it using a particular culture. You can use System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture to determine the culture settings of the computer that the program is running on. Also, when you call Parse on a DateTime, use the IFormatProvider: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/kc8s65zs.aspx[^]
