• Software Development for Windows Vista Problem with Drag & Drop

  Hi! I have the following problem: In my workflow designer host application I have a toolbox implementing ItoolboxService like in the Designer Rehosting example. When I drag items from the toolbox onto the design surface, a correct drag item is shown along with the name of the activity. But when I drop them on the surface, I get a NullReferenceException in the overriden OnDragDrop event of the root activities designer, more precisely when base.OnDragDrop is called. The Activity DragEventArgs seem to be correct tho... When I use the ToolboxService class of the Designer Rehosting example, everything works fine. Although I use exactly the same serialization/deserialization methods as the example... (and the Activity DragE ...Show All

• Windows Forms non-bound grid control in .NET? (like MSHFlexGrid)

  I'm halfway through writing a mini spreadsheet-like application in VB6 where the user can freely enter text into a table of cells, format them, get results from simple maths, etc. I would now like to rewrite in VB 2005 Express but can't find a suitable unbound grid control to replace MSHFlexGrid in .NET. I would prefer not to use a COM component if possible (and have seen quite a few worrying notes in the forums on MSHFlexGrid behaving badly in .NET). Is there a .NET based control I could use DataGridView seems to insist on being bound to data so isn't suitable (unless there's a property I can set to unbind it ). My application won't be bound to data, but lets the user type whatever data they want into the cells. ...Show All

• Visual C# How do I create and use C# DLLs?

  Hello all, I am trying to create my first C# DLL and I am having some difficulty. This DLL will house some common authentication functions. I will need to use the DLL functions on the front of many different C#.NET web applications. I do understand the basic concept of DLLs and thought I could just jump in and create one. So I created my DLL, added my functions, and referenced the DLL in a test web page. But when I tried to access the functions in the test app there were no functions available in the namespace. So I clearly did not create the DLL correctly. I am looking for a tutorial or a step-by-step example that I can follow. Thank you in advance for any help/references you can supply, Chris ...Show All

• Windows Forms Displaying a usercontrol in a DataGridView cell

  I need to display usercontrols in the cell of the DataGridView. The edit control feature, that displays a single control while the cell is in edit mode, is not sufficient. I need to display multiple controls, of different types (plotters, gauges, etc) in multiple cells. I read the warnings about this feature not being supported by DataGridView. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find ANY .Net grid on the market that supports this feature. With trepidation, I tried it anyway. I made a custom cell that creates a user control and used the Paint override to move the control into the cell display rectangle. It sort of works, but there are a few boogers: 1. The grid steals the return key message from my usercontrols. Some of my controls use the retu ...Show All
