Hi Heath,
I don't seem to get it working. Eventhough I've read the csc and the resgen documentation forward and backward.
Could you (or somebody who's reading this) pls. be so kind an mail me the DLL's (preferably in DEBUG and RELEASE mode, but it's ok if I get only the RELEASE version). I just want to use the library. I'm actually not too much interested in manipulating the source.
Takes you a couple of seconds. Keeps me from getting nuts. 
Thanks again...
Matthias

You'll never learn anything that way.
For resgen, just include the root namespace of the project plus any folders. Since you don't have VS.NET, then find where the file is used and use the same namespace. Then use resgen.exe like so:
resgen.exe SomeFile.resx SomeNamespace.SomeFile.resources Do that for each ResX file. When you need to compile the source, do something like this:
csc.exe /t:winexe /out:SomeApp.exe /recurse:*.cs /res:SomeNamespace.SomeFile.resources *.cs Or whatever is required.

I write a class(public class MyTableControlA : System.ComponentModel.Component, IExtenderProvider,ISupportInitialize) that have a DataSet and DataAdapter properties.
I have also a MainForm that i drag and drop and initialize DataSet and DataAdapters on it.
I drag and drop myclass on a form, it DataSource property can brow all DataSets on it contain form.
but i want to that myclass can see and use each DataSet and DataAdapset objects that placed on the mainform. i mainform i fill all datasets and i want to use filled datasets in each other form by my class.
notice than i want to do this visually.

Then expose your DataSet and DataAdapter as public or internal properties on your form and access them from your child controls or from other forms:
MainForm form = this.Parent as MainForm;
if (form != null)
{
form.DataAdapter.Fill(form.DataSource);
}If you want to access these from other forms, then make sure those forms have a reference to the form instance that declares the DataSet and DataAdapter and that those fields or properties (properties are recommended since they give you more control via encapsulation) are accessible (public or internal, or protected if a form derives from the form that has those properties or fields).
It's all a simple matter of object-oriented programming. Expose objects with member accessibility that provides other objects access to what they need and denies access to what they shouldn't have.

I have a component that contain a collection of a struct.
I drag and drop this component on a form. than i chang it collection, i want when i close form at design time, my collection content save automatically with form(into form's code or resource).

As I told you before, you may have to implement your own CodeDomSerializer derivative if the DesignerSerializationVisibilityAttribute doesn't suite your needs.
I also gave you a link to an article that describes such an implementation. I suggest you read it.

this error in submit:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in system.xml.dll
Additional information: There was an error reflecting type 'MyCoulumnClollectionClass'.
error occurein this line :

when i remove "m_columnTable" , it is ok.

NEVER use public fields - this is the worst programming concept you could do, except perhaps in the case of private structs used only internally to your code.
If you don't want the DataTable serialized, making the field private (and any public properties that access it, attribute them with the XmlIgnoreAttribute) will take care of that automatically, since XML Serialization only serializes public and private fields (unless you implement IXmlSerializable, which is undocumented and requires that you know how it works internally).
A DataTable should be serialized as part of a DataSet, so if you want this DataTable serialized, define the field as private (besides, public properties or fields should never start with m_, that goes against naming guidelines), reflect the field with a public property attribute with [XmlIgnore], then make a public property declared as DataSet that instantiates a new DataSet, puts the DataTable into the DataSet.Tables collection, and returns it. You don't have to use it (and can attribute it with [Browsable(false), EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]) - it's only for serialization.

Hi,
how can I call the default constructor of a class from an overloaded one? Example:
public class MainForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form {<br />
public MainForm() {<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
PrepareSomeStuff();<br />
SomeMoreStuff();<br />
}<br />
<br />
public MainForm(string Somestring) {<br />
mSomestring = Somestring;<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
PrepareSomeStuff();<br />
SomeMoreStuff();<br />
}<br />
}
Any ideas are welcome.

Thats what I was looking for. But still one question: Is the code of the default ctor executed before or after execution of the code in the overload.
Nevermind. I go figure out myself 
Thanks for your reply.

You can use the base keyword. Here is an example:
public class BaseClass
{
public BaseClass()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello from base");
}
}
public class DerivedClass : BaseClass
{
public DerivedClass() : base()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello from derived");
}
public DerivedClass(string s) : base()
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello from derived");
}
}

I actually knew this and I was not looking for a way of doing this in a base/derived class hierarchy. Sorry if I couldn't make myself understood in my initial post. My quest was rather how to call the default ctor of the same class from an overload. Thanks anyway for replying.

The way I've always done this kind of thing is to create an initialise method and call that. So your code would look like:
public class MainForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
public MainForm()
{
InitialiseCommon();
}
public MainForm(string Somestring)
{
mSomestring = Somestring;
InitialiseCommon();
}
private void InitialiseCommon()
{
InitializeComponent();
PrepareSomeStuff();
SomeMoreStuff();
}
}
At least this was the way I was taught to do it in my C++ lectures years and years ago when I was at university. I've just updated the idea for C# and it works nicely.

You can just stick all of your initilization code within your base class and in your derived class call base within the constructor. This way, if your InitialiseCommon method changed names you would only have to change it in your base class, not in every class that it is called. See my post for an example.

My understanding was that it was common functionality within the same class, no inheritance involved (although the example given was possibly misleading in this respect as it was inheriting from the Form class, it wasn't part of what was needed.)

I've done this as well. Was just wondering whether there is a cleaner way of doing it in C#.
Thanks for your reply.

It's really a matter of consistency vs. performance. Putting all the common code in your default ctor and calling that first will ensure that your code is always code and you only need to change it in one place. If you use public ClassName(string name) : this(), it results in two whole extra IL instructions! 
Get the idea?

Hi everyone,
I am trying to do two things with the RTF control that I thought would be simple.
Firstly when the user presses the return key, the contents of the textbox is sent to be displayed, however this causes the text insertion cursor to move down one line, and stay there. I can't seem to get it move, even using Clear(); and ResetText();
if (e.KeyCode == Keys.Return)
{
if (this.rtfCompose.Text.Length != 0)
{
// Clear
this.rtfCompose.Clear();
this.rtfCompose.ResetText();
}
}
However that doesnt move the cursor back up to 0,0.
Also, when the user presses Return, the text gets sent to another RTF control for display. However, once the text goes beyond the size of the control, everything that's added cannot be seen unless the user scrolls. How would it be possible to scroll the existing text up and keep the new text (Added to the bottom) in view?
Thanks!

You might want to mention in which event your checking for the return key. This should actually be processed in the control's ProcessDialogKey method - which fires before the rich textbox recieves it. This means you have to extend the RichTextBox class and override that method. Don't forget to read the documentation about it, however, instead of just using it. There's things you need to understand about it, including when you override a control method you typically call it on the base class at some point (especially if it's not a message, character, whatever that you want to handle - the base class may need to process it).
As far as scrolling to the bottom, this is actually quite easy but you need to P/Invoke SendMessage and SetScrollPos, which are documented in MSDN[^]. You first send WM_VSCROLL (0x0115) using SendMessage to the other RichTextBox, using it's Handle property (the HWND for that window), along with the scroll information as defined in the WM_VSCROLL documentation. You may also need to call SetScrollPos to set the scroll position for the RichTextBox.
One final approach is to use ScrollToCaret, a public method defined by TextBoxBase (the base class for TextBox and RichTextBox). Several people have had problems getting this to work and have had to use the approach above; as such, this has been covered here in the forums in the past, so if you'd like to read more about these threads, click "Search comments" immediately above the message board and try searching (I recommend using the keyword "WM_VSCROLL").

> You might want to mention in which event your checking for the return key.
I'm using the KeyDown event.
Overriding ProcessDialogKey is something I will research into. However P/Invoking and more advanced things like that are pretty new to me, so it'll take some learning about the basics before I'll be able to do that.
Thanks!
