Have you looked at any third party components? You may want to google around and I am sure something comes up. Better yet, do an article search on this site, I recall seeing an article using OpenOffice to generate pdf files in C#/VB.NET...

I hear you.
Generate PDF From C#[^] is the article I think I mentioned a little while ago. Worth looking at

You will have to resort to a third party SDK, their is no such capability in .NET. DirectX would be my suggestion.

Hi,
I'm trying to find out if this is possible, and if so how to do it. From a machine running XP or Vista, as I understand it, when you send something to print, Windows/the print drivers render the file into a format the printer can read and understand (a spool file?). This file is sent to the printer then the local copy is deleted. I believe this file is held briefly in the 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS' folder, which is effectively the shared print queue folder. for all printers on that machine.
My question is whether you can capture this 'raw' spooler data (I've managed to copy and paste to capture the files that appear in the spool folder, but you have to be fast!), and crucially, once you've captured it, can you then somehow send it to print again?
I have a feeling this is more complicated than I think. Presumably there are different formats of spooler data etc? Is there a utility that can do the printing/viewing of captured files?

I don't know wht is user control and custom control in windows form
If anybody knows this concept plz explain with example and difference between both

Hi Ashwini,
"Custom" Controls: Controls that display UI by making calls to a Graphics object in the paint event. Custom controls typically derive from RichControl. A Chart control is an example of a custom control. There is limited design time support for creating custom controls.
"User" or Composite Controls: Controls that are composed of other controls. User Controls derive from UserControl. A control that displays a customer address using TextBox controls is an example of a User Control. There is full design time support for creating user controls using the WinDes application."
For information on User Controls and Custom Controls for WebForms, please refer to this [^] Link.
Hope this helps.

Where are you getting RichControl? Or do you mean UserControl? I have never seen a RichControl in .NET before.

I created an application that opens Word documents inside an axwebbrowser object in the windows form. However, if i run 2 instances of the application and open 2 files - FileA.doc and FileB.doc, i lose control of the toolbar icons on FileA.doc as soon as i open FileB.doc in the second instance of the application....ie... i am no longer able to click on the toolbar buttons. The toolbar buttons are visible but do not function and cannot be clicked on. Please help.

Hi,
I am currently working on a WinForms application in which I am displaying database table in DataGridView control.
I want to implement feature of record locking when a user starts modifying a row in the DataGridView. In such case, the system should give alert message to other user that someone else has already opened the record for editing.
Also, when two users try to save the same record, the first to click save button will get access & the second user will get message that record has already modified by someone.
How can this be done? If anyone can share the code for this then it would be great.
Thanks in advance,
HR

You are not going to get any code for this as it is a philosophical question.
First thing to ask is this a real world situation, lots of business people raise this sort of ? when in reality it almost never happens.
Second, think about how your system works,
You get a set of records (no lock) that are copies of the data and not connected to the database.
Now the user begins editing, you want the UI to inform the database the records is being edited, the database must retain the identities of all the users who have a copy of the record and inform them that the record is being edited.
Now the user either cancels the edit of saves the record the UI must save back the record, first checking that this is the master copy and should be locked!
When the record is saved the adta should be pushed to the other holders of the record.
The above scenario is a nightmare of pushmepullme horrors.
Answer the first question, and then if it is still an absolute requirement then I suggest the following design.
Do not allow in grid editing. Make the user open a dialog with the 1 record to be edited. If you think this is unreasonable I have 5 major apps in production and there are precisely 2 forms with inline editing. You then lock the record as being edited when passing it to the dialog (use a flag on the record). Only when a SECOND person attempts to edit the exact record do you actually need to do anything, ie tell the second user it is a read only record! If you flag it with an ID you can tell the second use who has it locked.
Caveat - you will inevitably end up with incorrect falgs on records (incomplete edits) make sure you have a maintenance program to clear them down.

I have windows form application project named foo and I have created two solution/project configurations namely foo_STD and foo_PROF. Now, when I build all configurations It generates two folders under bin i.e. foo_STD and foo_PROF and executable created in both folder has name foo.exe
Is there any way to change executable name through Post-Build/Command line parameters in project configuration so, that foo_STD.exe is created in foo_STD directory and foo_PROF.exe is created in foo_PROF directory.
Regards,
MaulikCE

I found the solution from here-
http://www.fearlessdog.com/posts/2005/03/04/net-post-build-script-to-rename-appconfig
Here's the exact copy-paste script to set executable name according to project configuration
Paste the following in "Post-build event command line"
rename $(TargetFileName) $(ConfigurationName)$(TargetExt)
rename $(TargetFileName).config $(ConfigurationName)$(TargetExt).config and
select "When build updates the project output" in "Run the Post-build event:" dropdown.
then hit -F6 to build the solution.

MaulikCE

I mostly use ASP.net but have spent the day wrestling with a date view grid. I have a column which has a dropdown so when I populate the grid I programatically add a combo (DataGridViewComboBoxCell) to the row and can populate the items with data. The column is a normal DataViewGridTextBoxColumn because I want to have a completely free hand in what I put in the cells in this column.
But... the dropdowns have a blank entry at the top which I'd like to get rid of and also there is no property to select an item in the dropdown such as selectedIndex. How han I get rid of the space at the top (blank entry) and how can I set the selected index property?
Also, when I want to read the value from the combo and have a reference to the DataGridViewComboBoxCell object in that cell, how do I read the selected value from the combo?

From MSDN:
"Unlike the ComboBox control, the DataGridViewComboBoxCell does not have SelectedIndex and SelectedValue properties. Instead, selecting a value from a drop-down list sets the cell Value property."
I am not sure what will happen when you set the value, although I will assume that it will change the selection. You can then read the Value property to get the value back.
There is a way you can make your own selected index property by comparing each item to the Value property and returning the index when the objects match.
Hope this helps.

How can I bind to radio buttons. I have an object with a property called gender that can be either 1 or 2. 1 is male and 2 is female. On my form I have a gender group box with 2 radio buttons. One male and another female of course. How can I bind these. I know I can do it with if statements but since the rest of my form is binded, I figured it would be good to keep it consistent. Thanks
