• Windows Forms how to get the relative location of the controls within a panel?

  Hi, I am having a panel and the size grows dynamically. I have a horizontal scrollbar and a vertical scrollbar. How do I get the size of the complete panel. When I say panel.size it just gives me the size of the screen that can be viewed. I need to get the complete size of the panel. I also tried to append the panel.AutoScrollMargin.Width. But it is not giving me any value. How can I achieve this task I also want to know how to get the location within the panel where the mouse is clicked. Your help will be appreciated.   Thank You.   Hi, Is your problem solved Thank you, Bhan ...Show All

• Smart Device Development COM port remapping on Smartphone emulator

  I'm stumped, I'm trying to connect a GPS unit to the emulator by mapping COM1 on the host machine to the emulators serial 0 (COM1:). I noticed in the documentation that COM1: is used for debug output, and I've also read in this forum that it can be used for connecting external devices. When I tried it with the image that came with the Smartphone SDK CreateFile succeeded but I got nothing from ReadFile. I then tried on a debug image I’ve been building out of AKU 2.6, and I started getting some data. However the data was missing chunks and occasionally filled with chunks of garbage. I ran the same test app on the desktop that I was runnin ...Show All

• .NET Development XmlSerialize XmlElement in web service

    I have defined a wsdl file for a web service method that suppose to return an object to client.  I have the xml data load from the SQL server database that represents the object. Instead of deserialized the xml data into the object and return the object. Than the ASP .Net will need to serialize the object to the xml again to be included in the SOAP message. I plan to change the return type of method to xmlelement, but used the same wsdl file as before. This way the proxy file generated on the client still have the typed object as the return type. The problem ...Show All

• Visual C# Casting an enumeration that has a defined type..

  public enum foo : ushort { foo, bar } ushort test = foo.bar; Cannot convert from 'Test.foo' to 'ushort' Sure, I can make variable of type foo, but I'm encoding the value to a network stream, so I want it as a ushort. The thing is, I specifically told the compiler the enum is of type ushort, so why do I have to typecast it You need to cast it :-) ushort test = (ushort)foo.bar;  Oh - you said *why* do I have to cast it Because C# is a strongly typed language, IMO it requires casting more often than it really should, but at least it's not VB :P   ...Show All

  Hi. I have created a user control (System.Web.UI.UserControl) in c#.

• Visual Basic How do I control navigation in datagridview. ie to go sideways on <enter>

  When the user presses enter in a cell for a certain column I want to sent the next cell to the next column, like doing a <tab> instead of going to the next row. I have used the keypress event, but this is not fired if the user is in edit mode and presses enter. Anyother action to set currentcell changes the column, but the process still moves to the next row. Does anyone have any ideas. Ok, here goes nothing...

• Windows Forms Big Red X on DataGridView

  Hi, I am working on an application that polls servers with BackgroundWorkers for information about the state of application objects. When a background thread has data that needs to be written to the DataTable that is bound to the DataGridView, it calls a delegate and passes the data, and the UI thread updates the data. It's all working rather well except for one problem. If I switch desktops (I'm using the Microsoft Virtual Desktop Manager), or if I lock the workstation and then log back on, an unhandled exception occurs in the DGV control and it displays a thin red box with an X that fills the control. The last line in the call stack ...Show All

• Visual C++ Mixed c++ TypeLoadException Internal limitation: too many fields.":"<Module>

  When I load my mixed c++ dll using Assembly.LoadFile from a C# application I get a TypeLoadException with message "Internal limitation: too many fields.:"<Module>"" How can I possibly know which type it is and what could be the problem OK, finally I understand what causes my problem. There seems to be a limit in the assembly loader. With more than 65535 global FieldRVA entries in an assembly the loader raises the TypeLoadException exception. This seems to be no limit of the assembly format but of the loader code. I loaded the assembly with ildasm - what is really slow and did a dump "all" of the assembly. Searchin ...Show All

  I have created a panel that contains custom controls. Currently I can drag and drop them without any graphics and all is good.
