Hi. Does anyone know how to make a windows form behave like a menu, such that it closes if the user clicks anywhere away from it?
It would also be nice if the window didn't steal the focus from the parent form, but this isn't necessary.

Haha, silly me:
private void NoteForm_Deactivate( object sender, EventArgs e ) {<br />
this.Close();<br />
}

Hi!
I have been looking all over internet after an Excel-component to use for reading excel-documents and calculate formulas.
Anyone know wher i can find it?`

It's called Excel. There's no way I know of, apart from controlling Excel through the Microsoft Office SDK, whatever they call that thing.

Here is one way, although there may be other/better ways:
Add a reference to the MS Excel object library.
In your code, you can use the Excel objects directly:
Dim xlApp As Excel.Application
Dim xlBook As Excel.Workbook
Dim xlBooks As Excel.Workbooks
Dim xlSheets As Excel.Sheets
Dim xlSheet As Excel.Worksheet
Once you create an instance of the Excel app,
xlApp = New Excel.Application
You can address any object in the spreadsheet
xlBooks = xlApp.Workbooks
xlBook = xlBooks.Open(strPath & "Sheetname.xls", True)
xlSheets = xlBook.Worksheets
xlSheet = xlSheets(1)
Values in cells can be accessed and modified by range
intListRow += 1
strRange = "A" & CStr(intListRow)
strSheetValue = xlSheet.Range(strRange).Value
Remember to close the app or there will be an Excel process still open on the machine.
xlBook.Close(True)
xlApp.Application.Quit()
xlApp = Nothing

I'm back with another question regarding some PHP code I converted to C#.
The PHP code uses OpenSSL to verify a signature (it's a string of characters, as opposed to being attached to a file). I have the public and private keys.
Can I use the crypto stuff built into .net to verify the signature, and if so, can someone point me to a place that describes how I would go about doing so?

Hi,
I am going to develop a C# windows application and deploy in a server. This exe file will be used by around 10 people at the same time. I think it will create new instances for each user.
What I want to know is, are there any know issues for these kind of scenarios? What the general good practices for this kind of application?
Thanks & Regards ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

We use the same approach in one of our projects with no issues.
The reason is that you have only one exe but a process of its own per user.
But of course, if you are accessing any ressources (files, devices, ...) then you have to do it in a thread-safe manner.
Happy programming
Urs

Can somebody guide about conditional compiler directives in .NET whereby I should be able to have a particular snippet visible only to 1.1 Compiler and a certain section only for 2.0 compiler.
Basically, I am trying to see an elegant way in which if had put a code for 1.1 and when the application is brought into 2.0, instead of just keeping it commented, we can have elegantly toggle between the versions.

Unfortunately, there are no built in conditional symbols for this. You will need to define your own in the project properties, under the Build tab. Add the comditional symbol you want to the "Conditional compilation symbols" text box (multiple symbols must be space separated).
Once you do that, you can wrap the code in #if [symbol] blocks. It would look like this (assuming you define a symbol named NET_20):
#if NET_20
#else
#endif

Thank you Scott. Let me give it a try.

No problem. Hope it works for you.

Hi,
I have a similar approach, defining one symbol at the project level, then
adding the following at the start of interested files:
#if !NET11 && !NET20
#error "Missing version of .NET Framework (define one of NET11, NET20)"
#endif
BTW: I use two different symbols, not the #else part Scott suggested; when a third
version will be required, the code will fail unless reworked and not fall back silently
to one or the other.

That's a good point. Defining multiple symbols and using a check like you show is definately the safest approach.

Sounds like a language-specific question to me.

Can't get you. Actually, that would decide which functions to use. Isn't it?

Hi,
I have a really simple data contract in my WCF service:
<br />
Namespace CTPInfoData<br />
<DataContract()> _<br />
Public Class myInfo<br />
<br />
<DataMember()> _<br />
Public Name As String<br />
<br />
<DataMember()> _<br />
Public Allowed As Boolean<br />
<br />
End Class<br />
End Namespace<br />
<br />
Namespace CTPInfoCtrlns<br />
<ServiceContract()> _<br />
Public Interface IInfoCtrl<br />
<OperationContract()> _<br />
Function SetName(ByVal Info As CTPInfoData.myInfo) As Boolean<br />
End Interface<br />
<br />
Public Class CTPInfoCtrl<br />
Implements IInfoCtrl<br />
<br />
Public Function SetName(ByVal Info As CTPInfoData.myInfo) As Boolean Implements IInfoCtrl.SetName<br />
If Info.Allowed Then<br />
If Info.Name = "Bert" Then<br />
Return True<br />
Else<br />
Return False<br />
End If<br />
Else<br />
Return False<br />
End If<br />
End Function<br />
End Class<br />
End Namespace<br />
<br />
Module Module1<br />
<br />
Sub Main()<br />
Dim baseuri As New Uri("http://127.0.0.1:8027/")<br />
Dim host As ServiceHost = New ServiceHost(GetType(CTPInfoCtrlns.CTPInfoCtrl), baseuri)<br />
<br />
Dim metadata As ServiceMetadataBehavior = host.Description.Behaviors.Find(Of ServiceMetadataBehavior)()<br />
If metadata Is Nothing Then<br />
metadata = New ServiceMetadataBehavior<br />
metadata.HttpGetEnabled = True<br />
host.Description.Behaviors.Add(metadata)<br />
Else<br />
metadata.HttpGetEnabled = True<br />
End If<br />
<br />
Dim bind As Binding = New BasicHttpBinding()<br />
host.AddServiceEndpoint(GetType(CTPInfoCtrlns.IInfoCtrl), bind, "http://127.0.0.1:8027/CTPInfo")<br />
<br />
host.Open()<br />
Console.WriteLine("Running service....press any key to terminate")<br />
Console.ReadKey()<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
End Module<br />
But my test client doesn't seem to pass the data contract through to the service:-
<br />
Sub Main()<br />
<br />
Dim bind As New BasicHttpBinding()<br />
Dim endpoint As New EndpointAddress("http://127.0.0.1:8027/CTPInfo")<br />
Dim ctrl As New InfoCtrlClient(bind, endpoint)<br />
<br />
Dim info As New TestWCFService.CTPInfoData.myInfo<br />
info.Allowed = True<br />
info.Name = "Bert"<br />
<br />
' call our function<br />
Console.WriteLine("The answer is: " & IIf(ctrl.SetName(info), "YES!!", "No :("))<br />
Console.ReadKey()<br />
ctrl.Close()<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
My proxy code was generated by svcutil /L:vb http://127.0.0.1:8027/CTPInfo
when I run this simple app, the service only gets a null object (nothing). But If I change the SetName() function to accept the string and boolean independantly, instead of inside a class, it works. So I know my WCF comms is working, just not the Data Contract stuff... 
Does anyone have any tips in how to pass data contracts?
Or can point out where I have gone wrong?
Thanks,
Phil.

I'm reworking a WinForms application I wrote a couple of years ago.
It has a TabControl with a few TabPages. Originally I put the various Controls on the TabPages, but in reviewing it I decided writing a UserControl for each TabPage would be better (more modular, less monolithic).
But then I realized that if I derived each TabPage directly from TabPage (rather than deriving from UserControl and Adding the UserControls to the TabPages) I could save a layer of abstraction (I want one additional layer of abstraction, not two).
This works fine... except TabPage doesn't have the fancy schmancy Designer like those of Form and UserControl!
I looked a little at creating a Designer, but I don't want to go to that much trouble.
I am wondering whether or not it's possible to use the System.ComponentModel.DesignerAttribute to associate an existing Designer with my derived TabPage, perhaps one that Form or UserControl uses, but I haven't been able to track them down.
I see that others have asked similar questions on various forums, so I expect there's no easy way to do it.
Any other thoughts?

It should be possible to do this. I've never tried it with a TabPage derived control, but I have done it with other controls and it works very well.

Could you point me in the right direction?
|
|
|
|

Sure. This would be the bare minimum implementation:
[Designer("System.Windows.Forms.Design.TabPageDesigner, System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a")]
public class CustomTabPage : TabPage
{
} The only issue is that you can't add these tab pages to the TabControl at design time since the TabControl class doesn't know anything about them. You can add the tab pages normally and then go into the designer code and change them by hand. (Even though the designer code is autogenerated, this change won't be lost the next time it is generated.)
If you want to be able to add them at design time, you would need to do some more work and create a custom TabControl derived class that knows how to add these controls instead of the normal TabControl.

Nah, that didn't work, but thanks.
Could you show an example of where you've had something like this work?

What didn't work about that? I pulled that from a simple test app I created and it seemed to work there.

Didn't provide the Designer like that of a Form or UserControl. But I'm going to look at what you sent further, now that I've gotten some sleep.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, for one thing I needed to add a reference to System.Design
I think I actually need to use System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner, and I've tried, but still no joy.
