use Graphics.MeasureString(string, font)
This will return a SizeF object with the width of the string in pixels.

Hi,
I'm printing Form Controls (buttons,labels, textboxes and such).
I'm trying to set the left margin for the printing page, but it's not working.
The code to change to landscape works OK though... what's up?
private void menuPrint_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Margins.Left = 200;
this.printDocument1.DefaultPageSettings.Landscape = true;
this.printDocument1.Print();
}
thanks,
Ron

That code should set the left margin correctly but your problem might be in your printing code instead.
inside your print method how are you deciding where to print your objects?
printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
e.Graphics.DrawRectangle(myPen, e.MarginBounds.Left, Y, Width, Height);<br />
}
I believe that would print a rectangle starting at the left hand margin of your printed page.
Hope it helps.

Thanks Kev,
I'm new to programming and thought that margin would be added automatically to the control coordinate already given. I'll try something like this:
ControlPaint.DrawButton(g, t.Left + e.MarginBounds.Left, t.Top + e.MarginBounds.Top, t.Width, t.Height, ButtonState.Pushed );

Printing allows you to print in the page margins because Headers and Footers go into the margins.
Anyway, good luck with your printing.

How to read a value from an address in memory using C#
|
|
|
|
|
I am developing a component that compiles code into a dynamic in-memory assembly (using CodeDOM). This in-memory assembly needs to run under restricted permissions, including limited access to the filesystem, but it also needs to have access to certain paths.
Now, I expect that the way to go about doing this is to make a code group, and a custom permission set to assign to that code group. However, I have some questions:
- How do I make the assembly run under the code group I've defined? I can't use a URL, as the dynamic code can come from numerous places. Nor can I use a hash (for obvious reasons). So I guess a strong name would be the best option.
- I'm wanting to allow the code to have read-only access to a certain directory. Since the directory path is determined at install time, how would I go about defining the FileIOPermission in the permission set XML file?
- How do I best go about ensuring that the code group is installed before the component executes the restricted code? (If the code group is not in place, the code may recieve more permissions than it ought to.)
Sorry if some of my questions sound stupid; I haven't dealt with more than just basic CAS before (although I've read all the MSDN docs I've found on the subject). 
TIA

This is not my article, however, I would just like to draw the attention of the forum to the following article of an implementation of SPAM identification with a C# libary.
http://www.generation5.org/content/2004/KillSpam.asp
I hope that the code behind it does not in fact generate even more spam in some secretive way, however, what is said in the article makes a lot of sense.

I can connect to a remote registry using microsoft.win32 package.. but it only works if i have authentication.. and the only way i know how to get it is try to access the computer over the network and fill in the details:P how do i gain permission using c# code?

By default, the CurrentPrincipal on the thread is GenericPrincipal. If you set the CurrentPrincipal to WindowsPrincipal it should be the same as doing a RunAs. You can access the property off of the current thread (System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal). You can also set this at the AppDomain level, but you can only do this once during the entire life of the application domain. By doing it at the domain level, you inherit the WindowsPrincipal througout all threads within that application domain.

ok im not too familiar with CurrentPrincipal.. so could i plz have a code example to show me how to pass credentials to a remote computer to access their registry thanks
|
|
|
|
|
Getting credentials to see if a user is in a particular role is easy.
Passing credentials from one system to another to access registry information is not. If it was easy, we'd have one more security patch to be applied to Windows because it would be such an easy hack.
If there were a real business justification for doing something like this, then about the only way I could think of was to have the user install an agent and access the agent via remoting.

Hi,
I am using two model dialog boxes named "StartUp" and "AddNewItem" from the main Form named "Form1" with the following code
frmStartUp = new StartUp();
frmStartUp.ShowDialog();
if (frmStartUp.DialogResult == DialogResult.OK)
{
// Doing Something
frmStartUp.Dispose();
}
else if(frmStartUp.DialogResult == DialogResult.Cancel)
{
frmStartUp.Dispose();
}
same is the code for the second dialog box (AddNewItem).
When i click on the Cancal button of the second dialog box it gives the following excpetion
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException' occurred in system.windows.forms.dll
Additional information: External component has thrown an exception.
whereas clicking the cancal button of the first dialog box (StartUp) does not give any exception.
what the problem with it.
Thanks in Advance

Hello. I require some assistance in measuring an image. Currently I am able to measure a stadard line (horizontal, diagonal and vertical). Now, I would want to measure a non standard form. What I would want to do is to click from one point to another continuously and each clicked point will be assigned to a standard incremental node name (ex: A, B,..Z). Then, the software will record the coordinate of each nodes into a table. I really need sonebody;s help in this since I am rather new with this software. Thank you.

Well, it sounds to me like you have a bunch of small lines and you want to add their lengths, am I right ? That sounds fairly straighforward to me, or have I missed something ? If you store the co-ordinates in an arraylist, you can make that a data source for a data grid.

Hi Christian
Thanks for the answer but since I am rather new with this C# programming I would relly much appreciate it if you could assist me on the programming codes. I honestly have no idea how to do this.

at the top:
using System.Collections
in your class:
ArrayList points = new ArrayList();
when someone does a click
points.Add(ptMousePos ( however you get the point in the event ));
Then you can go through the array, and work out your lengths from each point pair, and create a form with a datagrid, and just have something like
theGrid.DataSource = points;
theGrid.DataBind();

I really appreicate you fast reply. It sounded so easy for you. Like counting 1,2,3. Won't be easy for me since I'm a first time user. Anyway, thanks for the reply. I appreciate it very- very- very much. I'll try and give it a go.

Dear Christian
I am really- really sorry to be bothering you again but I ave tried to program the codes but am unable to get anywhere near what I wanted (due to the fact that I'm a first time user). Do you have a running application so as I can study the code rather then having to develop the code. Thank you again and I honestly am really- really sorry for bothering you.
I apologize again.

No need to apolgise, that's what this forum is for. Why don't you post some code, so I can have a look at it. What's it doing, and what do you want it to do differently ?

Hi Chritian
I'll be very honest with you. I am a control and Electrical person who has no prior ecperience in high level language. NONE what so ever. Currently, what I'm doing is trying (really hard) to undertand people's programming codes (that's how I study this language) in addition to study the basic concept of C#. Since I am really- really new,I am unable to develop any codes cause it's hard enough for me to understnd the coding itself he!he!. Now I only manage to open and save file. I am still finding a way (whihc I doubt) to program the application stated before. Anyway, Christian I appreciate your fast responses an d you ever find codes that;s relevant to my rewuirements, please email them to me okay. Thank you again.
