• Anand Raman - MSFT Use internet explorer urls

  I'm making a webbrowser. Now i want to load the same urls that IE uses to a combobox, and set them too. In fact, I just want to know how to get access to the IE urls, so i can set/get them in my app. I hope that I am clear enough. Thanks in forward which urls favourites or urls in general urls in general, I believe in the combobox there is a property called autocompletesource, in here, set it to "AllUrl" which will then hopefully show the url's stored in the system as you are typing. in the autocompletemode set it to perhaps suggestAppend to make it complete the urls whilst you are typing and filters the url appropriately as you are typing If that dosn't work the 'recently typ ...Show All

• imdz New C# Keyword - retry?

  I believe that C# could benefit from extending try-throw with retry keyword. Simple example of this would be: try { PerfomAction(); } catch(Exception ex) { DialogResult dr = MessageBox(ex.Message, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.AbortRetryIgnore, MessageBoxIcon.Question); if(DialogResult.Retry==dr) retry; // Jumps to the begining of try block } IMHO: This makes for cleaner-looking and less bug-prone code than the alternatives with goto or loops. I know how to create logic and did it with both do...while and goto (which IMHO looks as much cleaner implementation): retry: try { //... } catch(Exception ex) { // ... if(condition) ...Show All

• Ray Z. Yang why multiple inheritance of classes in not supported in C#?

  Multiple inheritance is not supported in C# but it can be achieved using interfaces is fine. But can you explain why multiple inheritance of classes in not supported in C# its really nice answer like that many ques. come in my mind, like if oops concept we use and implement then why provide delegate.and how oops concept helps. Of course, multiple inheritance could be problematic if you are not careful when programming. But I'd rather have that depending on me, not because the underlying technology does not allow me. Multiple inheritance causes problems, if one or more of the parent classes defines members with same identifier. You would have to decide which parent to use to handle each met ...Show All

  Please delete this thread - it started off as an unclear question,  and once made clearer was never answered (or at least I think it was made clearer), and has now been resolved thanks to the MSDN Library.

• ajma CheckListBox select single item...

  hi.. How i can select single item in a CheckListBox... I want to enable it or disable a single item or i want to check it or uncheck it... Thanks in adavance, Vinay You cannot disable individual items like you can a control, but you can prevent item's checked value to be changed by using ItemCheck event: private void checkedListBox1_ItemCheck( object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e) { if (e.Index == 2) { e.NewValue = e.CurrentValue; } } The above code doesn't allow third item's checked value to be changed. I'm sure you'll find a better way to check whether the item's check state is allowed to change or not (probably through some of item's properties...). Andrej I'm no ...Show All

• a.s.viswa Compare ArrayList

  Hello, I have 2 sorted array lists. e.g.  arrayList1 = a,b,c,d,e,f,h,k,l  and  arrayList2 = a,c,d,f,g,h,i,j ArrayList1 contains the list of strings that are to be compared against.  Unfortunately there are thousands of strings in each.  So I don't know if it would be any good doing something like; does arrayList[0] == arrayList[0]||arrayList[1]||.... (in a loop of course). Another thing, arrayList2 is getting its (distinct) data from a database so I can't really check it against arrayList1 there and then, as it would leave the connection open for longer... I don't know maybe this is an ok trade off I don't suppose there is an efficient arrayList1.compare(arrayList2) method out there   ...Show All

• IrishGandalf learning to live w/o pointers (C++ programmer here)

  Good evening- What I'm trying to do is take a variable, place a reference to it in a container, have some math operations act on the whole container (which might have any number of references to variables) and then be able to access the original data in the original variable. Hope that wasn't too confusing. In C++ this was performed by using references and pointers - I'd pass the variable to a function by reference, make a pointer, place the pointer into a container, do my operations, and at any time I could query the original variable and get the updated results since the pointer pointed back to it. How is this accomplished in C# I banged my head up against the wall for a few hours this evening trying a few things but I don't quite see ho ...Show All

• Charles Tam How to raise an event

  I have two forms form1 and form2, when i click a button in form2 I want form1 to do something only if a button in form2 is clicked....How do i set up basics for an event to take place in this manner any help... You are right Ilyas, I agree that it will be bad design! Best Regards ;-) we all share and learn my friend :-) No event is needed in what you are trying to achieve. Create some public property or function on the form which has to work. On the other form's constructor, pass the reference of first form so it can call that function or property. Handle the Click event of the button on this form and call the othe form's function like this: mainForm.DoWork(); Cheers ;-) ill try my best but won't ...Show All

• Kamii47 Events

  I know how events/delegates works. its when implementing them that seems to be the problem with me. now... I have: a Form several classes the form knows nothing, it only knows about 1 class, which it instantiates. this class instantiates other classes. The form, nor do the other classes, need to know about each other. now, I have successfully created events which when raised from the main form, one of the classes acts upon it - thats all good. what I want now, is the complete opposite. I want to make an event where, in one of these classes (not the class the main form creates) I can raise so that the main form picks it up and acts upon it. Since I am mostly confused at times when events are involv ...Show All
