• Windows Forms How to get \n into a listview

  I am trying to get a listview to display strings that look like this: This\nis a string that\nchanges lines. I need to have the \n show up as a string in the listview and not a funky char. Thanks Hi,TedTarney You said "I need to have the \n show up as a string in the listview and not a funky char", in fact, the text of items in the ListView never translate the '\n' char. If your real mean is displaying string in lines, you can set the ListView's OwnerDraw to True, then handle the DrawItem event, use codes like this to draw the strings: private void listView1_DrawItem( object sender, DrawListViewItemEventArgs e) { e.DrawBackground(); string [ ...Show All

• Visual C# Cast at runtime?

  DataRow[DataColumn, Table.Columns] returns object and a comparison of object type fails even if actual values are equal. We can guarantee the Type of the DataColumn and I want to cast to the DataColumn.DataType as I iterate the columns of the table; much more maintainable if the table ever changes. Other than a slew of if statements testing the as operation, is there a way to make this construct compile: foreach(DataColumn column in dataRow.Table.Columns) { if(dataRow[column, RowState.Current] as column.DataType != dataRow[column, RowState.Original] as column.DataType) { ... } } My hack is to test using ToString() (not pretty): dataRow[column, RowState.Current]dataRow[column, RowState.Current].ToString() Why can't w ...Show All

  We've been combing the forums and the Connect database for bugs, feedback and suggestions around the application model. We still have a small amount of time to consider any other feedback you may have. So this is the thread that you post your latest likes or dislikes with Game, GameComponent, services, etc. Please scan the other threads before posting here, I'd like to just gather things that haven't already been discussed or reported elsewhere.

• Smart Device Development port VS2005 application to CE5.0 platform

  I have a C# project built with VS2005 and I want port it to CE5.0. In CE's platform builder, I could not find "Compact Framework 2.0" in Catelog so I cannot add it to my OS. I have CF2.0 installed on my PC. How can I config my CE PlatformBuilder to import CF2.0 Without CF2.0 included in my OS and when I try to connect to my hardware target, I run into "ActiveSync" problem. Is it related to CF2.0 Any advices are appreciated! PB knows nothing about NETCF 2.0 installed on to your PC and you can’t configure it to do that. You need to download and install PB patches with NETCF V2 instead. I'm not sure what "ActiveSync" problem is. I would guess it's rel ...Show All

  hi everybody. I have a problem to launch a process with admin rights. The application has to work under Windows Vista (I developp under the last CTP).
