• Jon Abbott Recovering Designer Info after Hard Drive Problem

  I was working on a project with 7 forms when I had a hard drive problem. I was able to recover most of the source files, but when I try to open the forms in the Designer, I get the message "One or more errors encountered while loading the designer. The errors are listed below. Some errors can be fixed by rebuilding your project, while others may require code changes" "Either VCProject or VCCodeModel is not ready yet. Please close designer and try again." This error does not show up in other projects that were not affected by the crash. Is there any way to recover the information that Designer needs to show the Forms short of recreating them Thanks. I figured it out! For th ...Show All

• Ed Hintz Using URLEncode in a Windows Form

  Hello Everyone and thanks for your help in advance. I am writing a screen scraping application using a windows form. I need to process the __ViewState in order to get it to work properly and it looks like it needs to be URL encoded. However, I cannot seem to access the URLEncode method from the Windows form. I have imported System.Web into the project and I have also tried things like System.Web.HttpUtility.UrlEncode but I receive the erro message that HttpUtility is not a member of System.Web. Indeed, intellisense does not give me that as an option, but I can figure out why. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Hi, System.Web should do fine. Did you add the reference to System.Web.Dl ...Show All

• spar108r WaitCursor and the TextBox

  Hi, I have a WinForm application built in VS.NET 2003. The user enters the data on the form and clicks the Submit button to do some processing and the results are displayed in a multiline textbox. I am setting the form Cursor to Cursors.WaitCursor when the user clicks the button and then back to Cursors.Default when the processing is done. While processing, whenever I hover my mouse on the multiline textbox, it is not showing the HourGlass but it is showing on the other areas of the form. How do I make the HourGlass appear on the textbox also Do I have to set it for all the textboxes manually and then back to default after processing Any help is appreciated!

• graymon Order of event

  What is the order of event after the valuechanged in a combo box or datetime picker in the valuechanged event , i wanted to check if the input in valid or not if not, i will assign the value to the default but it happens in this valuechange and it will have infinite looping. regards Alu Try something like this: private bool mUpdating = false; private void comboBox1_ValueMemberChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (mUpdating) return; try { mUpdating = true; // Restore default if necessary... } finally { mUpdating = false; } } You should not rely on the order of events unless the events are specified as occurring in a specific order (such as BeginSomething, EndSomething).

• Deuce BOI How do I get the number of lines in a text file without already knowing how many there are or its contents?

  Visual C# 2005 The topic title is pretty self explanatory. I want to create a method that will read a text file and return the number of lines in the text file. I need a method that can be implemented in plain code and inside its own function. I am combining this with another method I have to get a list of commands, which should be easier than using a dictionary array/collection. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. If its a standard text file, a brute force but easy way would be to use a StreamReader and the ReadLine method and count Copied (then modified) from VS2003 help: (should be same in 2005 I would think) int lineCount; using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("TestFile.txt")) { String ...Show All

• jwraith OpenFileDialog throws ThreadStateException

  Hello. I have converted a C# project from VS 2003 to 2005 and am now continuing to work on it. It all seems to work fine, the some small issues could be solved very quickly. I have also converted the project files design manually to VS 2005's, with Form.Designer.cs files and a Program.cs containing the static Main() function. I've copied the code partially from other solutions newly created with VS 2005 so that it's complete. Now I wanted to use an OpenFileDialog in my application but as soon as it is to be displayed, it throws a ThreadStateException telling me I should add the STAThreadAttribute to my "main function". (Not the exact wording, that's in German. You can google that wording very easily.) But the initial Main functio ...Show All
