Hello, I'm making a custom message box that lets you copy text, but I wanted it to look exactly like a standard message box, so I would like to set the buttons text to whatever the system language is, as the MessageBox class does. Does anyone knows how to get that text ("Yes", "No", "Cancel", etc)?. ...
Given a list of mailing addresses, I need to open an existing Word document, which is formatted for printing labels, and then insert each address into a different cell of the table. The current solution opens the Word application and moves the cursor to insert the text. However, after reading about the security issues and problems associ...
The RichTextEdit control in .net does 99% of what I need to do for my application, except for a few little things: 1) I want to disallow pasting/dragging images into the control 2) When text is pasted/dragged into the control, I want to reset its style to the control's default As far as I can work out, Microsoft hasn't provided any type...

Hello, a new member here. Nice to see such a neat community. After a bit of research, I decided to use WCF in my application to do inter process communication, so I am using the NetNamedPipeBinding binding. The ServiceHost hosting application is not a dedicated server, so it has to spawn the ServiceHost via a thread. So far so good. S...
In the kiosk system I'm setting up, all Kiosks communicate with a central server to check in and receive update commands. I don't use the Dual Http communication because I can't guarantee what ports are going to be allowed at the client site, so communication is always initiated from the Kiosk (client). I currently have an Update contrac...
What alternatives are there to Windows Workflow in the .Net stack? And if you have used these solutions, what made you select them over Windows Workflow and was it a good choice. Update: I went ahead and selected stateless created by Nicholas Blumhardt. This is a very simple approach to modeling states in a domain. Below is sample...
Consider the following: public interface ICleanCoder { void DoSomeCoding(object task); } public interface ICleanCoder<T> { void DoSomeCoding(T task); } ... public class TestCleanCoding { void RegisterCleanCoder(ICleanCoder coder); } I have to have the initial non generic interface to enable a non generic reference to it...
I'm a .Net developer but I have a situation where I can't guarantee that the .Net Framework will be installed on the target machine. I've seen a few questions (here and here) that suggest using NGen to compile to native code. Both point out that you still need the framework though. I want to write a fairly lightweight app (basic GUI, ...

From personal experience, as well as everything I've read, NHibernate's SchemaUpdate doesn't support removing columns and tables. I'd like to use SchemaUpdate to generate migration DDL, but not having the deletes is making it more difficult. How do you get around this? Are there other tools that would help to keep the focus on the dom...
I have some code that does Bitmap manipulation using the LockBits method and accessing the bitmap data directly using a pointer. This code has to be wrapped in an unsafe block, of course, and I was wondering if this means that the code would not work in Mono. I'm assuming the Bitmap class is available in Mono, but maybe that's another ...
I am developing an application in C#/WPF that requires a distributed data model, as it will have both online and offline access. My current thoughts are to develop the first version of the application against SQL Server express and LINQ to SQL. Then use the schema to create a SQL Express Compact DB (and modify the connection string) for...

While I am trying to learn WCF, and it seems straight-forward enough, I came through an odd situation...at least it seems odd to me. Why is it that the ServiceHost ctor takes a concrete class, and the AddServiceEndpoint takes the Interface, and not vice versa? it seems the latter is more logical from an OOP standpoint. Consider the fol...
Hey guys, here's my requirement: I have one central App which receives requests from other apps, does something, and then returns data to that App. In its simplest form this data would be an XML document. Now, at design time, this central App doesn't know which other applications will be making requests. Each time the Central App rece...
