• thukralz Exposing properties

  Hi! My idea is to include into language a mechanism to expose a field's properties. Let's say I'm inside some WinForms user controll. My control's got a label named label1. I want to expose the Text proprety of the label inside my user controll class and call it LabelText. The main pattern idea is to 'inherit' all the child's property attributes automaticly (like DefaultValue, Browsable and so on - these are just examples, Text proprety's got some others). I would only have to write single line of code that would do everything for me, like public LabelText = label1.Text; One problem I've noticed is that some of the attributes may be of private nested inside that class types, like class MyClass { [AttributeUsage(Attribut ...Show All

• DennisWCP Properties.Settings; ArrayList and a custom object

  Hello, I am writing a Windows Forms application using .NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. I would like to use Properties.Settings class to persist a collection of custom objects, so I can created a property called Connections of type System.Collections.ArrayList using the Properties designer in VS. At run-time I populate an arraylist with instances of my class and then I set the Connections property to this arraylist. Then, I execute the Save command on the Settings.Default. The Save command does not generate an error, but no settings are persisted either. Do I need to do something special with ArrayList and my class (serialization, perhaps) in order for settings to be persisted correctly Many thanks for your help! ...Show All

• Prashweenet Using a Console with a Windows Form...

  Alright, I've been searching but I can't find anything related to my question... I need to use a Console with my Windows Form (for debug purposes). How do I "add" a Console Another thing... I need to find out how to make a rich text box unwritable. Thanks! Another easier (but not a pretty) way is just to set your program as a console application (by pulling up the properties of the project). It will create a console window as well as your form. To write debug information while running a Windows Application containing form, you may use a custom Console to print console output. Console can take a output stream where it can write console message. You can set a output stream in the following way: Console.S ...Show All

• maqk download msdn for visual C#

  Can I download msdn for visual C# Thanks. Hopefully you can download MSDN successfully. Excuse me, I mean I can’t work with MSDN library online. Hi Mahdi, I'm confused. If you can't work with the library then what was it that you wanted to download Can you be more specific As far as I can tell, not by itself, although the MSDN Library is part of the full VisualC# Express package, which can be downloaded ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/download/default.aspx ) Note that the full package is 1.3 GB so hopefully, you have a fast connection and a lot of time.

• Kunk How to display an int[] as a bitmap

  Is there a possibillity to display an array of integers as a bitmap or is it only possible to display arrays of short as bitmaps (16bpp grayscale images) I've done some research on the web and it turned out that the Format16bppgrayscale is not working. So in the end I had to use Format8bppIndexed instead and then I know the drill. Try this Bitmap m = new Bitmap ( 100, 100 ); Graphics g = Graphics .FromImage ( m ); int [] i = new int [4]; i[0]=1; i[1]=1; i[2]=1; i[3]=1; g.DrawString ( i[0].ToString (), this .Font, new SolidBrush ( Color .Red ), new PointF ( 0, 0 ) ); You should be able to display any numeric array ...Show All

• Jason Croft Visual Studio 2005 Locks / Freezes with devenv 100% - CSS Problem?

  I spent a few hours trying to figure out this issue and I narrowed it down to VS 2005 having a problems with CSS. In a project I started recently I have an ASP.NET page that anytime I go into design mode and drop a control on the page VS 2005 will freeze with devenv going to 100% and sometimesy VS 2005 crashes if it does not I have to kill the devenv process. This happens anytime I go to design view or drop a control on the page. I found that when I removed my references to my .css file the problem stopped and I could add controls and go into design view. Then if I add my css link back in the IDE freezes again. This code is no different that what I would have done in VS 2003. Can anyone help me out on this issue Thank you, Patrick Her ...Show All
