• Handschuh Help on working with services

  Hi, I would really appreciate if someone can enlight me with this matter. I have never developed a service, suddenly I needed to have one of my processes running as a service, this process is quite complex since it download files from several servers, read the files, manipulate contents, insert the content into a database, create logs of every movement, etc. I tried to convert my project (which is an exe file with a dll dependency file) into a service with the exact code of my exe file, it looked ok now but it seems to work unpredictably and erratically, the manual process never have any problem so far. My question is if the service model has limitations against a manual process, like connections to other servers, database connection, depe ...Show All

• GTrz Updating app.config

  I am trying to create a server installation (MSI) which during install populates the app.config with the user entered values and then updates and signs the manifests such that ClickOnce will be functional. I am not sure exactly of the method to update the manifests, or moreso if the way I am attempting is correct. here is some information about my setup here: I have the .deploy extension enabled; the msi configures the app.config with appropriate settings and sets the deploymentProvider codebase appropriately; once the config and application files are modified I have a batch file which executes the following mage.exe commands (actual filenames and paths obscured): mage.exe -Update <filename>.exe.manifest -FromDirectory <installed ...Show All

  Hi All, I have a web browse control hosted in a windows form. I want to calculate the coordinates of all the images present in the web page displayed in the webbrowser. I am adding all the documents(main document and the iframe/frame documents) in a HTMLDocument list on the NavigateComplete2Event. I am using GetClientRects() to find the coordiantes. From these documents I am able to get the correct image position if it is the main browser document( i.e. when browserControl.Document.url = documentFromList.url), but for other documents, it gives the displaced image coordinates. The image, top-left coordinate returned for such documents is usually wrt (0,0).However, they return correct anchor coordinates. Is there any other approach ...Show All

• Alaa M How to prevent ComboBox auto DropDown

  Hi, I'm writing a custom CheckedComboBox with a multiple item select future but when I select an item from the dropdown menu, the dropdown menu automatically closes. How can I keep it open to select more than one item thanks for any help. Hi Bluehunter, It looks like you are trying to make a custom combobox based on the System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox. Without access to the underlying code this might be difficult. Remember that a combobox basically presents a listbox after pressing on a button. So if you are making your own combobox, you can have your button present a listbox by your choice. Of course this can be a multiple select listbox. This way it's you that determines what happens on the listbox events. So y ...Show All
