When a webbrowser is embeded in a child window,the browser can not respond to user.What can I do to make the browser work correctly as it is embeded in a single form?

Hi guys...

does anyone know of a way to have the columns in a list view auto adjust to the width of the data in a column?

Right now, i have to manually adjust the column header to see the entire data.

Thanks,

Hi There !

I am trying to develop a control which will be added to web pages and will allow to make "friendly print".

I have tried to look for something similar and couldn't find anything.

I have found some answers dealing with css, which includes the lines:

img{ visible:none}

It allows me to print only some of the elements.

I want to create header and footer of my own.

I have read this article, which is aproposal of standard for css, which I'm afraid wasn't carried out.

(http://www.pwg.org/xhtml-print/HTML-Version/CSS-Print.html)

@page {
counter-increment: pages;
@bottom{ font-family: Times, Palatino, serif;
font-size: 80%;
font-weight: normal;
text-align: center;
content: "Page " counter(pages);
}
}

Does anyone has any idea what to do ? (without handling the registry...)

Timer + Thread = what?

Hey All,

Im looking for some advice. I have written a little thread that will check to see wether a text file has been updated. It compares the time for example. I as wondering, whats the best way to have a thread execute a method every few seconds without completely bogging down my main thread?

Thanks,
Ryan

Have that thread manage the timer (start it, stop it, etc.). If the file has changed, you can Invoke() a method so that it will run on the main thread.

You might want to check into the FileSystemWatcher. It doesn't work in Win9x/ME, though. Dead | X|

Memory is allocated for all objects (primitives too). GC cleans it up. Note: That unlike C, everything goes onto the managed heap, so one can "dynamically" create a valuetype array. MS recommends using classes above structs for performance reasons.

Structs and other valuetypes such as ints and the like are created on the stack, not on the heap.

Thus, the syntax

int x = new int();

is confusing, because it appears the integer is allocated on the heap when it isn't.

To allocate on the heap, it is necessary to use (object) new int(), to box the valuetype as a heap object. It really is just syntactical sugar.

Valuetype arrays are allocated on the heap, but that's because arrays themselves are objects. But unlike object arrays, valuetype arrays contain the values as inlined elements rather than references.

Managed C++ makes it clear by exposing 2 pointers int __box * and int * to differentiate between boxed valuetypes and the stack-based equivalents.

Valuetypes are faster to operate than objects, but passing valuetypes around can involve an expensive copy operation if the valuetype is large, and are not passed by reference.

You can make your program an order of magnitude using valuetypes, but only if the data type truly exhibits value semantics. On the down side, you do lose a lot of flexibility.

Thanks,
Wes

Boxing is very expensive. Everytime you add a valuetype to an ArrayList for example it gets boxed (and making a typed collection doesnt get rid of it AFAIK). With a class you dont get that. Unfortunately the only place I could find something now, is in the EMCA 335 spec Partition 5

D.3. Type Usage Guidelines
D.3.1. Class Usage Guidelines
• Do favor using classes over any other type (i.e. interfaces or value types)

On the MSDN/C# homepage there is only a very informative article on performance.

struct is a value type, so it should be in the stack.

Coloring listview items?

Hi,
I've got a windows form application with a listview control on it. In my list control, I'm going to have some negative numbers from calculations. Does anyone one know how to color a list view item? I'd like to color a subitem in the listview say red, if it's value is a negative number. I'd only want to color certian items, not an entire row in the listview.

Thanks for your help! Wink | ;)

I,ve done it like this, but for the Main item:

<br />
ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem();<br />
item.UseItemStyleForSubItems = false;  // Can't remember why this ???<br />
item.Text = myValue.ToString();<br />
if(myValue < 0)<br />
item.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;

But I think it should work also for a ListViewSubItem Unsure | :~

Hope this helps

Hi...

I am doing an ad blocker in c#. The blocker will remove ads by stripping HTML tags that matches one or more keywords.

Example: these tags will (have to) be stripped...

<a href="http://myserver.com/mydir/ads/page.htm">Test link 1</a> ... [matches keyword '/ads']

<a href="http://myserver.com/mydir/page.htm"><img width=10 height=10 scr=adserve.myserver2.com/sponsor.gif> ... [matches 'adserve']

I am having problem coming up with regular expression pattern to give me the full matching tag, that is, like
<a href="http://myserver.com/mydir/ads/page.htm">Test link 1</a>
....when i am scanning for keyword '/ads'..
of coz the scanning is a loop, and the keyword is stored in a variable .. e.g. strKey.

the pattern : @"<a\s.*\shref=\S*", strKey, @"\S*(>|\s)"
doesnt work as it would return anything between the first "<a" (no qoutes) and the last space.

the pattern: @"href=\S*", strKey, @"\S*(>|\s)"
does not give the result i wanted.

I have tried to refer to MSDN, but things seem complex and beyond my understanding capability. I really hope someone

can help me to come up with the right regex pattern.

the tags i will (have to) examine include ... IMG SRC, A HREF, IFRAME SRC

thanks

can u please post the full pattern here?

thanks.

Re: Need help with Regex

1-Jul-03 5:22

i mean, can u be more specific? exactly where to add? for which pattern?

my program has to cater to tags like these:
<a href="http://myserver.com/ads/page.htm" >test</a> [note the space]
<a href="http://myserver.com/ads/page.htm" id="1">test2</a>
<a href="http://myserver.com/ads/page.htm"><img width=20 height=20 src=sponsor.gif></a>

<img width=20 height=20 src='sponsor.gif'>

i wanna extract the full tag that matches the keywords, yet accomodate for the loose nature of html.

please advise. i have no experience using regex, and all references i have doesnt seem helpful. msdn library is confusing me... Frown | :(

This is what I've done for sending data from one form to another. It's along the lines for what you're looking for.

(1). Declare a public object of your child form in your parent form ex:

public FormNumber2 Form2 = new FormNumber2();

(2). Make sure your listbox (m_ListBox) is declared public on the child form so you can set/get it's data from the parent form.

(3). Declare a string at the top of your child form:

public string m_sFileRemoved;

(4). This code needs to be in your child form.

if( m_ListBox.SelectedItems.Count > 0 )
{
string sSelectedItem = m_ListBox.SelectedItem.ToString();

m_sFileRemoved = sSelectedItem ;

m_ListBox.Items.Remove( sSelectedItem );
}

(5). Put this code in your parent form where you want to get and show the selected file from the listbox.

// read 5a below.
Form2.ShowDialog();
string sFileToBeRemoved = Form2.m_sFileRemoved;
this.Focus();

(5a). This will help you add data to the listbox before you show it (since you declared the control public) from the parent form.

this.Form2.m_ListBox.Items.Add( "File info: string" );

Hope this helps.
