My source code needs to support both .NET version 1.1 and 2.0 ... how do I test for the different versions & what is the best way to deal with this situation. I'm wondering if I should have the two sections of code inline, in separate classes, methods etc. What do you think? ...
Hello, I have a solution with many projects. One project contain few custom components. One of these components is used to display a title on an image.

I'm using Steema's TeeChart ActiveX 5 component for an application in .NET C#. I do some drawings using the methods Line(), Rectangle() and Circle() through the "Canvas" property of the component. My code for drawing is called on every on every OnBeforeDrawSeries() and OnAfterDraw() events of the component. When there is only a few dr...
I need to get the default printer name. I'll be using C# but I suspect this is more of a framework question and isn't language specific. ...
There are a couple of tricks for getting glass support for .Net forms. I think the original source for this method is here: http://blogs.msdn.com/tims/archive/2006/04/18/578637.aspx Basically: //reference Desktop Windows Manager (DWM API) [DllImport( "dwmapi.dll" )] static extern void DwmIsCompositionEnabled( ref bool pfEnabled ); [D...
Does this capability come with .Net? If not, what's the best free library? I need something that will throw good exceptions when there is a problem, and allows me to monitor its progress. ...
I have a .csv file that is frequently updated (about 20 to 30 times per minute). I want to insert the newly added lines to a database as soon as they are written to the file. The FileSystemWatcher class listens to the file system change notifications and can raise an event whenever there is a change in a specified file. The problem is t...

I mean, once the product is tested, it should be deployed in our production server, but need to modify some of the config parameters to consume production resources?.

Our ASP.NET application must be able to export web content to PDF and Word documents. In the past, we've used Aspose's libraries to accomplish this, but we've found them to be a little too low-level in terms of document construction. e.g. We've found ourselves needing to write point-based functions using shape primitives to create bulle...
I am trying to get a DataGrid under CE 5.0 / .NET CF 2.0 that a user can edit. The document at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838165.aspx indicates that some environments do not support editing - As there is no native support for editing in the DataGrid control, this needs to be implemented manually Do I need to im...
I have the following type : // incomplete class definition public class Person { private string name; public string Name { get { return this.name; } } } I want this type to be created and updated with some sort of dedicated controller/builder, but I want it to remain read-only for other types.

Often I find myself interacting with files in some way but after writing the code I'm always uncertain how rubust it actually is. The problem is that I'm not entirely sure how file related operations can fail and, therefore, the best way to handle expections. The simple solution would seem to be just to catch any IOExceptions thrown by ...
If a user select all items in a .NET 2.0 ListView, the ListView will fire a SelectedIndexChanged event for every item; rather than firing an event to indicate that the selection has changed If the user then clicks to select just one item in the list, the ListView will fire a SelectedIndexChanged event for every item that is getting unse...
Here's the scenario: A C# Windows Application project stored in SVN is used to create an executable. Normally, a build server handles the build process and creates builds at regular intervals which are used by testing. In this particular instance I was asked to modify a specific build and create the executable. I'm not entirely sure ...
I've read (in Nish Sivakumar's book C++/CLI In Action among other places) that you should use the __clrcall decorator on function calls to avoid double-thunking, in cases where you know that the method will never be called from unmanaged code. Nish also says that if the method signature contains any CLR types, then the JIT compiler will ...
Is there a straightforward way to query a web service to see which messages it supports? The C# .NET application I'm working on needs to be able to handle an older version of the web service, which does not implement the message I'm trying to send. The web service does not expose a version number, so Plan B is to see if the message is de...
I'm making a WinForms app with a ListView set to detail so that several columns can be displayed. I'd like for this list to scroll when the mouse is over the control and the user uses the mouse scroll wheel. Right now, scrolling only happens when the ListView has focus. How can I make the ListView scroll even when it doesn't have focus...
Does anyone know of a .NET library that will process HTML e-mails and can be used to trim out the reply-chain? It needs to be able to accept HTML -or- text mails and then trim out everything but the actual response, removing the trail of messages that are not original content. I don't expect it to be able to handle responseswhen they'r...
So this post talked about how to actually implement url rewriting in an ASP.NET application to get "friendly urls". That works perfect and it is great for sending a user to a specific page, but does anyone know of a good solution for creating "Friendly" URLs inside your code when using one of the tools referenced? For example listing a...
