I had written code to create excel chart sometime back. Thanks to poor documentation I had done, I cant recall significance of "-4167". Can anyone help? Here is the code block:

// Create instance of excel application
     objClassType = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("Excel.Application");
     oExcelApp = Activator.CreateInstance(objClassType);
     oProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("EXCEL");

     // Create workbook object
     oWorkBooks = oExcelApp.GetType().InvokeMember(
      "Workbooks", BindingFlags.GetProperty, null, oExcelApp, null);

     oArgs = new object[1];
     oArgs[0] = -4167;  <--- this one right here

     // Add workbook to the excel application
     oExcelWbk = oWorkBooks.GetType().InvokeMember(
      "Add", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod, null, oWorkBooks, oArgs);

The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures."

Tut tut - a google search for 'excel 4167' only returns 191000 results! It looks like -4167 refers to the type of a worksheet object.

It definitely isn't definatley

This search[^] worked fine for me - note that I didn't search for '-4167' as excel would then search for pages that didn't contain 4167. The first link has the detail I mentioned.

It definitely isn't definatley

I only pass 1 argument to the workbooks.add method, and it's a path string to the template file.

addMethodInfo = workbookType.GetMethod("Add");
addMethodInfo.Invoke(_workbooksObject, new Object[] { template })

Perhaps the -4167 is just there to confuse you.

avoid app.config cut and paste?

lets say i have a dll which relies on nhibernate or log4net. And within this dll there're calls which references these external library (nhibernate/log4net .. etc).

To be specific, and as an example I may have a dll (say it will be referenced by a ASPNET app AND a Winform App) and its app.config file look like this:

<configuration>
<configsections>
<sectiongroup name="spring">
<section name="context">
type ="Spring.Context.Support.ContextHandler, Spring.Core"/>
<section name="objects">
type="Spring.Context.Support.DefaultSectionHandler, Spring.Core" />
</section></section></sectiongroup>
<section name="nhibernate">
type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System,
Version=1.0.5000.0,Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
<section name="log4net">
type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,log4net" />
</section></section></configsections>
<spring>
<context><resource uri="config://spring/objects" /></context>
<objects>

</objects>
</spring>
<nhibernate>
... nhibernate config ...
</nhibernate>

<log4net>
... log4net config ...
</log4net>
</configuration>

I want avoid having to copy app.config setting from my DLL when I reference my DLL from a console app this time, then next time to a ASPNET or WebService. Each time having to merge/cut/paste app.config (from Dll) seems like a waste of time.

Thanks

What you can do is place config sections in a separate config file. Then you can copy the file as a whole rather than copy and paste sections of your app/web.config file.

In your app/web.config file you can refer to the other file like this:
e.g.

<connectionStrings configSource="data.config" />

How do you find the application from the registry? Do you use HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT?

Now we are a bit off from my area, but if you know either CLSID or ProgId, there are functions for COM like ProgIDFromCLSID and CLSIDFromProgID. However, I don't know if they work for the guid in Uninstall-path. I've understood that for example Microsoft Office is just one entry in Uninstall but it has several com components for all products (word, excel etc).

AFAIK installer keeps it's own inventory under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Installer\Products. Also all CLSID's are under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ClSID. In products folder most products have Transforms entry and the guid in that seem to reference to the installation folder in SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

That's about all I could come up with.

Data Grid Column Order Problem [modified]

Hi
I am having a problem with the order of the columns in my data grid. I have set the order I want in the data grid property Edit Columns. When I run the project 2 columns are way out of position. I tried to move the out of position column using column order but it is ignored. I then tried coding the position using event private void GridDisplayOrder(). I listed all rows in order from left to right. I get the message object reference not set to an instance of an object. Not sure how to get around this error. Here is the event I use

private void GridDisplayOrder()
{
Grid_Property.Columns["pContract_NO"].DisplayIndex = 0;
Grid_Property.Columns["pProperty_ID"].DisplayIndex = 1;
Grid_Property.Columns["pVersion"].DisplayIndex = 2;
etc
etc

any assistance would be appreciated

You need VisualSVN[^] which is a plug in for Visual Studio.

I am going to create a custom control and want to add an ability. When it get focused then It appearance should change through GDI.

for example I am creating custom label.
Then how will i get my target.

Problem is that I am only able to change the object at Paint event, here I can make changes to my object through GDI but I want When my object get focus or it is being clicked then I want to make changes via GDI.

Any hint will be appreciated.

can you not just invalidate the control when you handle other events such as click?

userControl1.Invalidate();

this will cause the control to repaint itself, in which it will call the Paint event
