• Danny Tuppeny Read data from App.config

  Hi how can read data from the configuration files, in VB2005 and VB2003 Are yout talking about reading your own custom data If so, you need to have a <configSections> with a <section> definition tag that defines your custom section and the class that will handle this section. Your own custom section is then mapped to a class in your code that derives from ConfigurationSection and during startup .NET will create an instance of this class when it's time to process that section. For example: <configuration> <configSections> <section name="customStuff" type="MyApp.CustomStuffSection, MyApp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null" allowDefinition="Machi ...Show All

• Barron Gillon typed DataSet not loading relations from DB

  I've literally had this problem everytime i've tried to use Typed DataSet I have just a default database made in VS, in it i have 2 tables relating to each other. (Lets say Member Table, and Association Table, ie Members would have 1 association, related by PK in Association and FK in Member) i then drag those tables (with the relation) into an xsd, which creates the relation and tables in that. I then compile the Typed Dataset, and get the generated classes. So then in my application, I load the information using a DataAdapter and get lets say a MemberRow object For the life of me, the AssociationRow property of the MemberRow (ie the parent row property that the dataset defines) NEVER has a value, It's always ...Show All

• Angel38 PropertyGrid: Disable CollectionEditor without changing the Object

  My Question I would like to disable the CollectionEditor inside the PropertyGrid. I'm not able to change the business object which is set as propertyGrid.SelectedObject. How can I do this Background information I use the PopertyGrid to create a generic user interface. This application should be able to show any object properties. The big disadvantage of the collection editor is that it opens a new modal dialog. If the object structure is more complex the user has to open several CollectionEditors inside their parent CollectionEditor. Bad usability :-( That's why I created a new UserControl which combines a TreeView with the PropertyGrid. The TreeView shows the hierarchies of the collections. So far it works fine :-) ...Show All

• Alexandre Defalque OS hides shortcut key

  I'm using VS2005. I've built a form with a main menu. In the editor, I defined the keyboard shortcuts using the & character. The underlined letter shows up in the form editor properly but when I run the application (debug or release) the shortcuts do not display. Thanks alot!! Never noticed that. Ran into this one myself...it is hidden by the operating system. When they are hidden hold down the alt key and they will appear. To make them always appear do these steps Right click on the OS desktop. Choose Properties . Choose Appearance tab. Click Effects Look for check box Hide underlined letters for keyboard navigation until I press the Alt key and check it. Apply ...Show All

• godzilla9 How to bubble down a mouse event

  I got a panel that has one control A inside it. I need to catch the MouseEnter event while i am in the panel and over A. Anyone knows how to do that You will be knowing the x and y axis or ( Left,Top) for your panel, so once the mouse is with in that x, y (Left, Top ) region then you can change the color and once it is out of that region (x,y) u can once again change the color back to normal. Hope this would help you..     Hook up the MouseEnter/MouseLeave event of the panel's child controls. You could even subclass Panel and have it as a self-contained control with your desired behaviour. That way you will know when the mouse is still within the confines of th ...Show All

• Philipp Konradi Grouping radio buttons

  I'm stuck on radio buttons in C# alas. I can group them by putting then in a Group box, that falls into place. But I want to treat them in code as a group too. I want to be able in one line of code to get the button which is selected, not have to scan through them all one by one.

I already whipped one up experimentally, but the tjhing that stumped me then was how to integrate it with visual design. If I create this custom control I can create it in code, but not with the visual designer. Do you have any tips on how to do that (yes, I'm a ...Show All

• Jehan Badshah How to create an instance of System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State ?

  I am writing an user control, it would add the ActiveX control by checking the installed version of Office Web Component SpreadSheet (currently there are OWC11, OWC10, OWC components). After checked the installed version of OWC, I create the instance of the axXXX library which generated by vs.net 2003 & add this instance to UserControl.Controls. If I do nothing more then it would be OK, but I wish to set the CSVData property of the instance after the constructor of the UserControl finished. I got an error said that OcxState of the OWC instance is valid. I noticed when I drag & drop the OWC control into the UserControl, the designer would generate the code such as : owc.OcxState = ((System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State) ...Show All
