Hello,
How to show Message/Notification from windows service.
When i use MsgBox("Hi") it is throwing below error ->
Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application.
Please Help.
Thanks,
Sh

Well the diagnostic information seems to have given you the answer. Showing a MessageBox, or any kind of Modal Dialog from a service is a bad idea as it means the service is stalled until someone answers the message. Most services are designed to post their messages to some form of log file unless they encounter a catastrophic error.

Your custom MessageBox should inherit from System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox and will then have access to the standard properties and messages. This may help.

Hi,
Any anybody help me how to send emegency message to all the systems connected in network.
(rather then "net send" command).
My idea is : When a user clicks a special key, windows application(t + # or ...) sends a file to server(crates a XML file).Other systems will keep watch the server file, if file exist then read the file and show the message. Is this a good practice? If any any other ideas please help.
Thanks,
Sh

Your problem concerns how to send messages between networked computers.
This has nothing to do with Windows Forms specifically. You may implement your solution within a Windows Forms application, but that is not the question you are asking.

Hello,
I have tried PureComponents and DevExpress. The PureComponents has an excellent filtering feature, but I ran into some bugs, like horizontal scrolling stopped working. The DevExpress is excellent and is reasonably priced.
Thanks for any feedback.

Take a look at RCM v1.2 - Theming library: Customize the Appearance of Forms and Common Controls[^] from here on CP, this is just the most recent article that I could find, there are loads more just search the articles for skinning form.

Objective: Modify a dll(binary) to either
1. Call another exe
2. Call another dll (function)
3. Modify the Dll binary by inserting code(Asm/Binary) and generate a shell(cmd.exe)
I know it sounds stupid but I hope you guys got the idea. Please feel free if you need more clarification...I have been trying to do this but no info is available. Now Im wondering is it even possible?
Dll injection/hooking/tampering...any(all) concept is ok, just want to know whats the roadblock to achieve something like this.
Eg:
I have a 3rd part dll called Game.dll. now I want to modify it somehow/anyhow and make it call calc.exe....alrite you guys can laugh !!!!

Newbie!!
I am developing a database-oriented windows application in a certain stand alone machine and would like to deploy it in another machine that is also a stand alone computer.
Do I have to copy the entire database in the second machine (I would think "YES" because of the database dependancy) or is this brought forward from the dlls that I would be copying by way of OneClickDeployment?
Also, is this any different in ASP apps?
Thanks

Hi.. I have one link(URL) in my win form. When i click on that one window(in 1 tab) will open in IE7. But when i click on same link on win form instead of showing same form which is opened previously it opens in different tab of browser. It continues as per the number of clicks. How to avoid this problem?
Here i have used System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(["Link"]) in win form link. Please help me in regarding this..
Thank you..

I expect it will behave according to your settings inside your default browser.
If you browse to a page, then click a link and click it again, does that cause two new tabs to open up?

Hi.. How to display sort Icon in each column of Data Grid View in Windows Forms(Windows Application)? I have set Sort property to automatic. But how to display sort icon when form loads or grid loads? Please mention C# code to solve this.. help me in this..
Thank you..
|

AFAIK the SortIcon (I assume that you mean the little triangle thingy) only appears on columns that are sorted. If you want it to appear for all columns you will have to Sort the DataGridView in the Form_Load event handler and sort it on all columns. The problem is the built in Sort routines only cater for sorting on one column.

I've tried googling this although I'm not exactly sure how to ask google what I'm trying to do, heh.
I have a databound form that displays 2 different types of business objects (they inherit from the same base class). I would like the form controls to change depending on the type of object the form is displaying.
I suppose I can redesign the form at runtime depending on which object I'm displaying although something tells me this might not be the most efficient way to do this.
If there is some major concept I'm missing here please point me in the right direction, I can probably figure it out from there. I've only been working with C#/.net for 6 weeks so there are surely plenty of things I don't yet know.

This become a design issue, I assume there is a bunch of data in the base class and different data in the other classes. I would split the form into 3 panels, the subclass will determine which one is displayed. I usually design them side by side and move the visible on into position at runtime.
|
|
|
|
|
so essentially I just change the visibility property of my container? Thats going to be rather messy in the designer eh?
|
|
|
|
|
Sure, that's why I double the width of the form and make the adjustment and visibility immediately after InitializeComponent is called in the constructor.
I don't really care what the designer looks like - it is the runtime that I want to be good. I have one form where I use 5 such panels and have to use bringtofront in the designer to work with them, a complete PITA but the users don't know.
