i have a background image on my form and i wanted to put a transparent label on it. however, i noticed that a label cannot have it's backcolor changed to 'transparent'. so i created a groupbox and placed a label in it. i then changed to backcolor of the groupbox to 'transparent' and the label's backcolor is now transparent! what the heck? is this a 'feature' of the groupbox or is there some other way of making a label transparent that i don't know about?

*UPDATE*
i believe i've come across a bug. try these steps:
create a groupbox on a form and set the backcolor to 'transparent'.....works great
now change the backcolor back to 'control', change the flatstyle to 'system', then try to set the backcolor to 'transparent'.....error 'Invalid property value.' okay, so it won't let you have a transparent background while the flatstyle is set to system.
so change the flatstyle back to 'normal' and change the backcolor to 'transparent'. then change the flatstyle to 'system'.....works!? but it's really buggy, the display in the groupbox fails to update and when the program is run the background of the groupbox is weirded out.
i'm NOT using csharp 2003 so i don't know if they've fixed this in the new version or not. did they? why can the backcolor not be transparent if the flatstyle is set to 'system'?

When you set the FlatStyle property to System you are telling the Framework to always let the OS do the drawing for that control. To my knowledge either none or not all of the .NET enabled OSes support the Transparent style which would require the Framework to emulate your choice but that goes against telling the framework to let the OS draw the control.

even if you do a SetStyle method in the constructor. It works for most controls so since a label is a derivative of the control class you would thinks so.
SetStyle must be done in the constructor only by the way

Hi, having a little problem with Event syntax:
class SomeClass
{
public delegate int MyEventDelegate(int param);
public event MyEventDelegate MyEvent;
public int MyHandler(int param) {...};
public SomeClass()
{
MyEventDelegate d = new MyEventDelegate(this.MyHandler);
MyEvent += d; //Question: type (left side)= event, type (right side)=delegate (which is an "object" after code injected. But, it seems to me the type does match.
}
... the rest ...
};
Thanks!

Hi Norm,
Try this:
class SomeClass
{
public delegate int MyEventDelegate(int param);
public event MyEventDelegate MyEvent;
public int MyHandler(int param)
{
MessageBox.Show("A number has been added!");
}
public SomeClass()
{
MyEvent += new MyEventDelegate(MyHandler);
SomeAddFunction(1, 2);
}
// To Call the Event
private void SomeAddFunction(int a, int b)
{
int c = a + b;
MyEvent(c); // This will fire the event
}
This is my first attempt at showing something on a message board, I hope it helps!

Thanks for feedback. However, I think perhaps there's a bit of misunderstanding here. I understand how to hook up event handlers with event and fire it and all that. I understand how the compiler injects code into the source and our "delegate" become a "class". What I do not understand is, however, the syntax:
int = int + int (the type matches, no problem)
But:
MyDelegate d = new MyDelegate(this.MyHandler);
this.MyEvent += d;
It seems to me type doesn't match up, here's why:
On LEFT SIDE of "+=", type is MyEvent --> It's an "event".
On RIGHT SIDE of "+=", type is MyDelegate --> It's a "delegate" (Of course it expands to a class).
How does it work? Or perhaps I'm asking too much. Sometimes, developers should just take it and code it. Thanks.

I really hope someone with more experience than me can follow up on this:
I think what goes on in the back is that there is an overloaded operator that adds the delegate (or function pointer) to a collection or list (the event model?), what goes on is not really saying MyEvent(event) EQUALS MyDelegate(delegate type), but saying "add this delegate to my list of function pointers to call when I'm triggered".
Or maybe your last sentence really summed it up!

The event hold a *linked-list* of delegates, d becomes an instance of that delegate and is added to the chain. This way, we check to make sure there are items in the *linked-list* and then fire the event:
void OnMyEvent(string str)
{
if(MyEvent != null)
MyEvent(str);
}

Thanks Nick. But you too, have misunderstood the question, or perhaps I didnt state it clearly enuf:
"MyDelegate d = new MyDelegate(this.MyHandler);
this.MyEvent += d;
The event hold a *linked-list* of delegates, d becomes an instance of that delegate and is added to the chain. This way, we check to make sure there are items in the *linked-list* and then fire the event:"
>> Yes, it holds a link list. But let me emphasize again:
"this.MyEvent" --> Type: event
"d" --> Type= delegate
I KNOW the syntax and that compiler expands delegates into class. Just don't understand how "type" on left/right side can be DIFFERENT. Did they overload "+=" operator on event?

I can run my C# .net application in the system I use to develop it, but when I deployed the application to a windows 2000 system with .netframework installed, I got below message:
System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission,System.Data, Version= 1.0.5000.0, Culture= neutral,
PublickeyToken=b77a5c561934e089 failed.
at System.Security.CodeAccessSecurityEngine.CheckHelper(PermissionSet grantedSet,PermissionSet deniedSet, CodeAccessPermission demand,PermissinToken permToken,
.....
It seems that I can't get the permission to access Sql server. Could you pls tell me how to resolve this issue? Can anyone help to let me know how to set the permission to the application / user ?
Thanks.

Just curious, does the credentials in your connection string have the proper security access ?

.NET, Kommst du mit?

It seems that the issue is because the .net framework can't get the permission to run sql store procedure locally. What I can saw is the connection string can get the server and uid but the pwd is cut. Actually, I did nothing to cut it in the program. Really strange, isn't it?

In my application I have say, twenty tabs, that I either want to show or hide based on the value provided in a ComboBox.
Call them ATab1 Atab2...ATab20. Is it possible for me to create some looping thing so that I can go through a loop based
based on the number provided in the Combo box (also 1 to 20) ?

...hmmm.. not sure, but
...why not have an Array of tabs (indexed 0 through 19)
and loop by that?
I implemented this solution for a series of Image boxes,
so I'm not sure if it would work nicely for tabs...
HTH,
F.O.R.

Hi, having some problem parsing XML. How do I print the name of an XML attribute?
<sometag attriba="AAA" attribb="BBB">
SomeText
if(reader.NodeType==XmlNodeType.Element)
{
Console.Write("Element: {0}", tr.Name);
for(int i=0; i
|

Norm,
I've been able to pull the names of elements and attributes from an xml file using xpath. The code below will help you do it. Don't forget to add: using System.Xml.XPath;
XmlTextReader xtr = new XmlTextReader( m_sXmlFilePreferences );
while( xtr.Read() )
{
switch( xtr.NodeType )
{
case XmlNodeType.Attribute:
break;
case XmlNodeType.Element:
if( xtr.HasAttributes )
{
if( xtr.Name == "Preferences" )
{
for( int i = 0; i < xtr.AttributeCount; i++ )
{
xtr.MoveToAttribute( i );
if( xtr.Name == "EmailAddress" )
{
m_sEmailAddress = xtr.Value;
txt_Email.Text = m_sEmailAddress;
}
if( xtr.Name == "UpdateAutomatically" && xtr.Value == "true" )
{
m_bUpdateInvestments = true;
checkBox1.Checked = true;
}
if( xtr.Name == "UseEncryption" && xtr.Value == "true" )
{
m_bUseEncryption = true;
checkBox2.Checked = true;
}
if( xtr.Name == "PlayAlerts" && xtr.Value == "true" )
{
m_bPlayAlerts = true;
checkBox3.Checked = true;
} }
}
} // HasAttributes
break;
case XmlNodeType.Text:
break;
case XmlNodeType.CDATA:
break;
case XmlNodeType.ProcessingInstruction:
break;
case XmlNodeType.Comment:
break;
case XmlNodeType.XmlDeclaration:
break;
case XmlNodeType.Document:
break;
case XmlNodeType.DocumentType:
break;
case XmlNodeType.EntityReference:
break;
case XmlNodeType.EndElement:
break;
default :
break;
The structure of the xml file is as follows:
EmailAddress="youremailadderess@yourisp.com"
UpdateAutomatically="true" UseEncryption="true"
PlayAlerts="true"
I hope this helps.

Is there a method for defineing macros in C# like you can in C++? In C# the #define directive is only for defining symbols.
#define AddAandB (a + b)
|

C# doesn't have macro support.

In my application I have three combo box drop down lists containing text. I want to create an event handler that
will not allow the contents of ComboBox1 also be selected by ComboBox2 and ComboBox3. How do you do this?

override the change event or simply when one is chosen delete the item from the other 2 and add and so on
