If you're using Sourcesafe, you can easily have files shared between multiple projects - that's probably the most straightforward way to do it (and means if you change the interface slightly in one project, it won't automatically break the other until you get the latest changes)

How can I export data from database to an excel or word file in a non-web application with C#?

You can use the COM libraries that MS provides. In your project go to add reference to the COM tab. If you have office installed you should be able to find a library similar to "Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library". This library allows you to automate Excel. The object model is very easy to learn. Notice that almost everything in the library is an interface. You can get started by going through the ApplicationClass class. Search MSDN for more information...
Same goes for Word

I know that .NET MUST to have a way to do this. But I don't know how.
1)On COM+, we can install a Component Server on a machine and our application on another. Then on the application Server we can access dll's running over Component Server and the our dll access de DB. There's a way to do it in C#?
2)I read some about MarshallByRef, some proxy dll samples (that doesn't work because it needs a physical path like d:\dlls\mydll.dll or a shared folder).
3)Can anybody help me? Please a step-by-step explaining how to do this....
thank you guys!!!

You can still use COM+ using System.EnterpriseServices classes in .NET, and there's always Web Services and .NET Remoting, all of which are discussed in many articles here on CodeProject.
.NET Remoting is arguably the best route to go with .NET applications (use Web Services if you want to support legacy clients and clients on other platforms (like Java)). To get an overview of remoting, read the .NET Remoting Overview[^]. A couple of good books to read about .NET Remoting are "Microsoft .NET Remoting" from MS Press[^] and "Advanced .NET Remoting" by Ingo Rammer[^] (the former is probably better if you're new to .NET Remoting).
BTW - this isn't specific to C# but is available to all .NET implementations, and you don't need the path to an assembly (the proxy, in this case) so long as the assembly is resolvable (like in the GAC if it is strongly named, and all assemblies should be). Read How the Runtime Locates Assemblies[^] for more information on assembly resolution.

Thanks Heath,
I'm reading this Remoting overview. But, let me try to explain a few better. I know that maybe you will say to ask it on ASP.NET forum. I have an web application and for security reasons I need to access my components (layers) on another machine... My Web application will talk to a dll on my component server and this dll will talk with my db and return the result to my web application. How to do this with an easy way? At suffering times, with vb, it would be possible by adding a dll on component service and making its msi instalation and adding a refference to that dll on web application. This is made with connection spool, ssl, authentication, etc... Do you know if exists some way to do this with C#.NET dlls?

You implement shared interfaces in separate DLLs with very little implement. Implement those interfaces in your Remoting DLL then consume those interfaces in your client (proxy).
Again, for how the runtime locates assemblies, see the last link I gave you in my previous post. Either one of those books will help explain Remoting better, since it is a very complex subject and the .NET Framework SDK doesn't go indo enough detail to really explain it well.

When windows performs the shutdown procedure is there a process involved?
If there is what is it called? can it be stoped?
|
|
|
|
|
When Windows is shutting down is sends the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message to all top-level Windows. Fortunately, the .NET BCL has encapsulated this for you in the SystemEvents.SessionEnding event you can read about at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfMicrosoftWin32SystemEventsClassSessionEndingTopic.asp[^]. Set SessionEndingEventArgs.Cancel to true to stop the shutdown.
If you'd like more information, click "Search comments" above and search for WM_QUERYENDESSION since I've covered this in more detail many times in the past.

Hello ppl,
I need a message box with the following buttons.
Yes/No/YesToAll/Cancel.
MessageBoxButton class doesnot have option for this.
Currently i could think of one solution being having a form with its Form border style as FixedDialog and having four buttons in it..
Is there anyother way to do this?Any pointers/suggestions would be helpful.
cheers,
jagan

Defining your own dialog is best way to solve the problem. The alternative is messy, full of P/Invoked functions, managed struct representations, and Windows messaging.

What you've come up with is the best way to do it.

Greetings!
I am trying to create a form dynamically by instantiating its class. Call this FormContainer. On construction, FormContainer creates a different form, Form2, and makes itself the owner of Form2 by calling AddOwnedForm.
Now, I would like to be able to fix Form2 so that it looks like a panel in FormConatiner, so that it moves and resizes along with FormContainer. Is there any way to do this without manually moving and resizing Form2 every time FormContainer is moved or resized?

If Form2 was a usercontrol then you could just create an instance of Form2 and add it to the panel's component container and then set it to fill. On the original usercontrol you can put panels that also fill and have controls on that panel setup to do the same.
I have done this and it is working pretty well.

Hi,
I am writing a PocketPC program that want to use a binary string as encryption key.
Does anybody know where can I put the key securely?
Thx a lot!
|
|
|
|
|
Securely? Nowhere. What are you doing that requires an encryption key and why must you ship the key with the application?

Thx RageInTheMachine9532,
Well, the key is not ship with the application. But the encryption key(in binary) is generated from a human signature to encrypt file on PocketPC. Where can I store the key?

In a CSP where it belongs. How you do that depends on which Windows Mobile OS you're targeting (2002 or 2003).

I looked at converting a windows app I had to run on my iPaq but saw that DESCryptoServiceProvider was not supported. What is available on PocketPC 2003?
|

Look at the "Supported Platforms" section at the bottom of the documentation topics.

Hello --
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1D100.pdf[^]
Thank you for reading my thread.I have read several books on rendering with Unicode. But in looking at the Unicode Music Fonts chart (See link above) it would seem that in some instances, there are several Unicode numbers that must be combined to create a musical example. If this is true, is not Unicode in this case a kind of GDI+ ?
Please look at the following example below:
http://www.unicodemusic.bravehost.com/[^]
Can someone please provide an example of how the above musical example can be done in Unicode? If so this would be most appreciated. I can't find anyone who understands how this can be done.
Thank you so much and I hope you are having an excellent day!

Unicode is a way to encode text - nothing more. It comes in 16-bit and 32-bit flavors.
What renders characters to the screen is a different subject, something you don't really need to worry about. What you do need to worry about is finding a font that actually contains the characters for the musical notes. To date I've not seen any (then again, I haven't looked specifically for fonts with these characters defined). Just because glyphs are defined for certain code points doesn't mean a font has to contain them.
To enter Unicode code points in C# (many other managed languages use the same syntax), use \uXXXX where XXXX is the hexadecimal number of the code point.

hai all ,
i am creating a c# application where i have a panel and on top of that i have an user control. when i click the usercontrol at any position, i need to capture the exact mouse position on the panel.

in your OnMouseUp event of your control, add the following code:
MessageBox.Show("X: " + Cursor.Position.X + ", Y: " + Cursor.Position.Y);
You can use the Cursor.Position property to find the current location of your mouse cursor on the screen.
