• Prasenna SQLXML as a custom prerequisite

  Hi all, I need to install SQLXML as a custom prerequisite. Can someone point me to a discussion on how to do this I can't seem to find any examples or tutorials or discussions to get me started. Thanx! WNC Sure thing: http://www.codeproject.com/dotnet/dotNetInstaller.asp Another nice thing is you can modify the source code for this. We include the exe for this in our installation project, and as a post build step, publish this exe as setup.exe, renaming the msi output from the installation project to _setup.msi. The bootstrapper (setup.exe) is configured to run this after it has successfully completed its work. An xml configuration file accompanies the installation to detect and install prereqs as needed.

• windflower ToolStripComboBox - SelectedIndexChanged is not raised when text is deleted.

  Hi, Here are the steps to reproduce the problem I am having: Using a ToolStripComboBox filled with items: 1) Select an item in the ToolStripComboBox's list. (The SelectedIndex changes to the index of the item you selected, and the SelectedIndexChanged event fires.) 2) Delete the text in the ToolStripComboBox's text box. (The SelectedIndex changes to -1, but the SelectedIndexChanged event does not fire.) Is this a bug I want to use the SelectedIndexChanged event to enable another control when an item is selected in my ToolStripComboBox, but the above behavior would allow the other control to be enabled when no item is selected.

• Mark Macumber Nested events

  I have an win forms application that contains three user controls. There is a one to many relation between control B and A, a one to many relation between control B and C, and a one to many relation between control C and the form. Control A contains an event that needs to be raised up to the form. To accomplish this, I created an event in both control B and C. For example, There are 2 "C" controls with 7 "B" controls, and 0 to many "A" controls within B. All controls are being dynamically created. Controls A, B, and C are instantiated at run time, so my event handlers all wire up to a single delegate b_onchange, rather than b1_onchange, b2_onchange etc.. What appears to happen in this case, is when the event ...Show All

• Generic123 Component not shown in design mode

  I have developed a new component derived from TextBox which searches for a term specified by TextBox.Text in the database and lists a result set inside a listbox. The problem is while I can drag-drop it from the toolbox and it works fine in runtime, it suddenly hides from the design view once I build the application. Any idea I have just found more about the problem. I hope this may help someone to offer a solution. The problem occures when the component (which is derived from TextBox) tries to add it's internally defined listbox to it's parent's "Controls" collection. This removes the TextBox itself from the collection once the project is built. I'm still wait ...Show All
