• Visual C# How to validate correct Enum name?

  Based upon content in a code table in a database, I want generate an enumeration. However, the code table could contain names that are not valid enum names. Is there a function or a way to "convert" and check these names in order to generate a properer enumeration name. For example, the HumanResources.Department table of the AdventureWorks sample database contains "Engineering" (=ok) and "Tool Design" (=nok). Enum.IsDefined will tell you whether a constant or name is valid for the given enumeration. However as with all Enum methods it uses reflection and will be slow. I pers ...Show All

• .NET Development Search a network drive

   I need to be able to search our companies shared hard drive through an intranet page. I am not sure if this is possible. Basically I want to create a form and then when that form is submitted. I want it to call up Microsofts built search utility and then display the results. The reason for doing this is to make it easier for people to search company info by going to a form instead of a list of directories. Is this possible, any direction will be appreciated. Regg, can I suggest you direct this issue to the ASP.NET forums: http://forums.asp.net Regards, Kit ...Show All

• Visual Basic Formatting the msgbox

  I am creating a simple payroll calculator. It crunches some numbers and spitts out an report-like messagebox. For now I've thrown together msgbox ("Ouput here") but the box that results is small. Is there a way to format the size of the message box Is there a better type of output (ie a report similar to one you'd find in access ) Thanks The more text you put into a messagebox, the bigger it gets. However, if you want to output some sort of report, a messagebox is the wrong tool, you should create a new form to show the report. A datagrid is the best control that's built in for showi ...Show All

• Windows Forms Images do not appear on TabControl when using VisualStyles

  Hello, I'm having a problem with a TabControl and VisualStyles. My tabcontrol contains images on each tab, which appear at design time, but when I run the application the images are missing and only the text appears on the tabs. Does tabcontrol support images when using VisualStyles My alignment is set to "Top" if that makes a difference. Thanks Simon I seem to have fixed the problem I was having. I am also using VS2005, but with top alignment. What I suggest you do is call Application.EnableVisualStyles() before you run your application, check out the code below: static void Mai ...Show All

• .NET Development Dynamic AppDomains

  I have an application that uses the FileSystemWatcher to monitor for the "drop" of certain files in a folder.  Custom actions are then executed based on the file name, size, etc. This application can listen for an unlimited number of files and therefore, runs an unlimitede number of threads that implement the FileSystemWatcher. However, if a critical error occurs one of these threads, the whole app crashes. Is there a way I can create an AppDomain (therefore, another process) for each file listener   I guess I am trying to simulate what IIS6 does when you add an applications to different ApplicationPools so that the crash of one wi ...Show All

  I have seen the Custom Data Visualizers and I attempted to create one but I found the sample to be extremely lacking (or perhaps I am thinking lightyears ahead of the plans of the VS.NEt team again) A sample of what I wanted to do was I wanted to be able to build into vs.net such that the data visualizer for something like a hashtable. would have an extra row. And when this row was expanded it would display 2 columns. Column 1 would show all of the keys and column 2 would show each object associated with the key. A more advanced sample would allow one to expand the object used as a key or the object used as the value. (I somehow get the fee ...Show All
