• Windows Forms Did Bill forget document.selection for WebBrowser control?

  I'm wondering why Bill didn't implement document.selection for WebBrowser control in C# as it's the case for JavaScripts ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/obj_selection.asp ). How can I get the selected text of a WebBrowser now :( I have the same problem, as I want to implement "ctrl+C" to copy the selected text. I didn't find a solution yet. Currently I use the ActiveElement property as workaround: void m_WebBrowser_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, PreviewKeyDownEventArgs e) { if (e.KeyCode == Keys.C && Control.ModifierKeys == Keys.Control) { Clipboard.SetText(m_WebBrowser.Document.ActiveElement.InnerText); } } Best Re ...Show All

• Architecture Design processes for commutability?? MCSD.NET Book

  Hi Forum I'm currently reading the book "Analyzing Requirements and Defining Microsoft.Net Solution Architectures" for the 70-300 exam. I have come across a section where best practices for designing for scalablity is listed. They explain Commutability and come with an example. The problem is that I do not see the benifit of the solution they suggest. The section states the following: Design processes for commutability Two or more operations are called commutative if they can execute in any order and still obtain the same result. Typically, operations that do not involve transactions are commutative. For example, a busy e-commerce site that continuously updates the inventory of its products might experience content ...Show All

• Visual Basic Downgrade Confusion

  The website (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vbasic/previous/downgrade.aspx) used to say "If you require a previous version of Visual Basic, you may purchase Visual Basic .NET and then downgrade to a prior version." We did this, and I still have the printout from earlier this year.   Now the same website says, "If you require a previous version of Visual Basic, you may purchase Visual Studio 2005 Professional and then downgrade to a prior version."   Are we still legal to use the Visual Basic .NET to downgrade, or do we now have to purchase Visual Studio 2005 I would suggest directing this question to the support personnel rather than asking views on from the general public. The reason ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Some basic C# questions

  In the process of learning C#, I have a small project that I am using as a learning excersise. So far, the project uses 2 forms: A login form A project form The Login form gets launched via the Main entry point with the Application function that VS created. On my login form, after the user has clicked submit, the form validates the user against a SQL database and once it has verified this, it instantiates a user credentials object that contains user name, authority (from the DB) and some user preference data (also taken from the DB). Following this it loads up the Project form like this: ProjectManager formProjects = new ProjectManager ( ); formProjects.Show(); formProjects.BringToFront(); this .Hide(); th ...Show All
