I am a C# programmer with mostly ASP.NET experience. I have done very little Win32 (WinForms) programming. Any suggestions for a good book on Windows Forms? I don't mean a general C# or .NET book, but one that specifically addresses the topic of Windows Forms.

I use this one at work, and it is pretty good.
Edit: Sorry, just noticed you said not specifically for C#.

No, your answer is great - I don't want a VB book, I want a C# one. What I meant was I don't want a C# book on General .NET. I want a C# book written specifically for windows forms, and that's exactly what you found.
Thanks

I use "Windows Forms Programming in C#" by Chris Sells....Excellent book.
Theres a version for .NET 2.0 out now also.
Hope that helps

I used Charles Petzolds book on Forms programming, but I am not very happy with it. It gives a very global overview and he refues to use the IDE functions, which are really great help when trying to create forms.
Petzold gives a lot of attention to the use of panels. However, panels have serious disadvantages. For a more complex form with, say 10 controls, you need a lot of panels. This makes maintenance a hell. So I decided to stop using panels.
Petzold gives very little attention to important but complex controls like listboxes and listviews. I think this very dissappointing.

Hello all,
I'm in the process of writing a windows service. We would like to provide a small application that lives in the system tray so that people can monitor the status of the service. This application doesn't really need to do anything other than display an icon in the taskbar and maybe a context menu. All of the options selected from the context menu will either do something in the background (stopping/starting the service) or will launch another application. Is there a more eloquent way to handle this that just putting the component on an other wise empty form, loading the form and then making it invisible?
I generally hate task tray icons and usually turn them off, so I've never run into this problem before.

I don't know of any other way of doing it. So yes blank form with the component on the empty form.

Hi,
I have a C++ DLL exporting a function that takes a callback of the following type:
typedef muFloat_t* (*muFacFun_t)(const muChar_t*, void*);
Is there any chance i can wrap this into a delegate? The Problem is that the function returns a pointer but C# has no pointers.
Regards,
Ingo

Generally speaking, System.IntPtr is used for marshalling pointers. Sometimes ref or out is used to pass variables in by reference.
I notice your function has a void pointer. Check out this[^] MSDN example of marshalling void pointers.
This[^] example may help as well.

I have a DataSet containing several tables.
Client, ClientEvent, Purchase, Return, PaymentMade
The relationships are:-
Client to ClientEvent
ClientEvent to Purchase
ClientEvent to Return
ClientEvent to PaymentMade
I use this tables to populate grids in my program but when I show the Purchase table I want the Client.Surname, Client.Telephone and Client.ClientType columns to show.
I would like to use an expression to do this but when I try "Parent(ClientEvent2Purchase).Parent(Client2ClientEvent).Surname" I get the following error:
Unhandled Exception: System.Data.SyntaxErrorException: Expected token 1 (Name), but actual token at the position 24 is token 15 (Parent).
Is there a way to do this using expressions and if not how could I do it? (I would prefer not to use sql to load the data directly using a join as I am working with the data already stored in memory)

I'm not sure if the expressions will work, but I believe you can solve that problem by adding DataRelation(s) to your DataSet. This basically joins parent/child DataTables based on whatever columns you specify. Once you have a relation set up for the parent/child relationships, you can use dataRow.GetChildRows() or dataRow.GetParentRows() to get the data you're after.

Sounds like a TreeView might go along with want you want better than a listbox will.

no ...data is stored in listbox
(my real problem is stored in othere place but i simplifeid the problem to me clear)
i went to get data and write it in XML

It's easy.
In this routine, you will iterate throught the items in the listbox, fetching their values one by one.
Now i assume that you are getting the info on which list-item is a child and which is a parent from the value of the listbox item. In that case, you need to assign all items in the list box with a unique level number (depending on their nesting in the XML). Based on this, when you iterate through items in the list box, you would know which item to nest under which node and at which level.
It won't help much by trying to make this recursive. Keep it simple and straight. Any by the way, it's pretty hard understanding your written english  Please be a little more clearer with your questions.

ok..how can I solve this problem if I have unlimeted nested levels for level1
please see the example it will be clear for you?
|

As I said.... If you have unlimited nested levels for level 1, keep on making a list of all the nestings that you have already written in a stringdictionary or so. the key wud be level number and value would be name, in the StringDict. This list will kee on growing as your list size. if ur list item is unlimited, recursive is a real bad idea since it will give you stack overflow soon enough. Putting in a bit of logic to use a normal collection instead of a recursive stack is a much much better idea for unlimited list items.

Dear friends,
In my organization, the employees are sending me messages through net send command . I want to create a application or sercive to listen all the messages and save it in the database.
( Because the messages are like requests. so we need record of them.
at last we need to give report to the authority)
If you have ideas and solutions plz give me.
thanks in advance.

You would be better blocking off the Windows Messenger Service in your box.
That will disable the net send command operation since that is a sensible thing to do since it can be easily used by spammers and exploited. Vista has this blocked by default.
However, if you still wanna capture the net send message, then you will need to coide for the Windows Messenger Service using the API's to listen to the same. Net Send uses the NetBEUI protocol and you will need to code in COm for capturing the message through the exposed Interfaces of the API.
Another easy way would be to observe the net send popups displaying and capturing the message in it. There is also a sample around it: Check this out http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms940840.aspx[^]
Accept the reply if it helped you!

Hello everyone,
I am trying to read a CSV file and place its data into a ListView. Each line of the CSV file contains 4 values seperated by comma. Can someone tell me how I can place each value under its correct column as I have 4 column in the ListView?
I am using the following code and that is going to populate the first Column with the four values.
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader("MyFileList.txt");<br />
while (streamReader.ReadLine() != null)<br />
{<br />
listView4.Items.Add(streamReader.ReadLine());<br />
}<br />
<br />
streamReader.Close();
Thank you very much for your help and have a great day.
