• Windows Forms Serialization of custom colors (and other types)

  I have defined some custom colors (and fonts, etc.), and would like to be able to have designer serialize these as the custom types rather than numeric values. Here is a psuedo snippet: // Implemented as a singleton... details are excluded public class MyColors {   Color _myGray = new Color.FromArgb( 42, 42, 42 );   public Color MyGray   {     get { return _myGray; }   }   // ... exclude other details ... } I apply  MyColors.MyGray to the BackColor property of my custom control. Designer serializes the value as... BackColor = Color.FromArgb( 42, 42, 42 ); Instead ...Show All

• Visual Studio Alternating the BackColor for Detail Rows in a Report

  Is it possible to alternate the BackColor for every other detail row, similar to a DataGrid in a Report If this is a simple table, you could use something similar to this: =Iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, "PaleGreen", "White") (see also: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157328.aspx / Formatting section) If this is a matrix, you will need to follow the approach discussed in Chris' blog: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157328.aspx -- Robert ...Show All

• Visual C# Decompile,modify and recompile?

  Hello! I would like to know if there is a software who can decompile,modify and recompile an assembly. I ask this because i create a software protection. If you any idea or suggestion! thanks, Wavemill Directly there is nothing... however if you use Lutz Roeder's .NET Reflector ( http://www.aisto.com/roeder/dotnet/ ) and Denis Bauer's Reflector.FileDisassembler plugin ( http://www.denisbauer.com/NETTools/FileDisassembler.aspx ) you end up with the source for an assembly. Throw in some Visual Studio to build a project out of it, make your modifications and hit build. Sure it’s a little roundabout, however ...Show All

• .NET Development Computed Columns in TableAdapters

  Hello, I'm very frustrated with the TableAdapter created by the dataset designer in Visual Studio 2005. Here's my problem: My select statement is just a select * from X. Some of the columns are computed columns, and should not be included in the update or insert commands. However, they are. I can't seem to get it to not include these columns in the update and insert commands without removing them altogther. This problem did not exist in 2003. Any advice Thanks, Bryce Bryce, Okay I'm not sure where exactly are your columns computed - as a part of the SQL Statement, or as Expression on the d ...Show All

• Visual J# performance difference in .NET 1.0 and .NET 2.0

  I recently upgraded a sockets application from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0. I found that the getByName method on the INetAddress class takes several times longer to execute under .NET 2.0 than it did in .NET 1.1. That is INetAddress.getByName("10.0.0.1") is a MUCH costlier operation under 2.0. Any suggestions on how best to go about 'recovering' the lost performance would be appreciated. Currently, I am caching the resolution, but it seens silly that a dotted IP address would take up so much time. In fact, any solution where I can convert a System.Net.IPAddress to a java.net.INetAddress trivially would be great. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development GetServiceHandle in Mobile 2003 (VS2005)

  Hi Alls, I try to use some functions like GetServiceHandle, ActivateService to manage service in Mobile 2003 but there is the complier error : error C3861: 'GetServiceHandle': identifier not found The <service.h> is included in project Thanks It seems like the GetServiceHandle API only compiles with the WM 5.0 SDK. I'm not sure why but I can try and find out if there's a workaround.

• Windows Forms Colors & performance

  Hello, I'm working on a colordialog for my application. I would like to display a simple, grid-like array of colors to the user. I do it kinda simple. I add a FlowLayoutPanel to my form, and at runtime, I loop through my array (currently of 215 colors) and then add a PictureBox for each color to my panel. I simply set the BackColor of the PictureBox, to make it look like a grid. I could paint it all manually, but that makes it much harder to get the selected color, painting which color is currently selected and so on. Doing it this way, I can simply assign a method of my own to the OnClick event of the PictureBox. However, this seems to b ...Show All
