I've had done everything you specified above, but as I said, the shortcut does appear but when I click on it, instead of running my application, it seems to run some kind of Windows Installer window, even though my application is already installed. Some progress bars appears on this window and after (I beleive) re-installing my application, it runs it.
It looks like the shortcut that has been created is a shortcut to the Installation Program. If I remove the CD from which I ran the installer, I can't run my software from the shortcut, it says that the installation CD is not there.
Now I would like to get rid of this Windows Installer window.
Thanks

This is the expected behavior of Windows Installer if some component of your program is missing. Your shortcut isn't a normal shortcut; it contains custom shell data that has Windows Installer (MSI) check for missing components.
More than likely, you've included some files you probably shouldn't have in your installer. Perhaps these are sample files that get deleted or something. Make sure for these files you set the Vital property to False and that should solve the problem.
More can be done, but not with the Visual Studio Windows Installer projects, which are extremely limited. You can either use Orca from the Windows Installer SDK (part of the Platform SDK[^]) to modify the MSI package database if you know how (read the SDK documentation) or get a commercial package like Wise for Windows Installer[^] or InstallShield Developer[^].

Hi I have an image of 45 mb.It is not possible for me to store in a picture box .Is there any way to cut an image part by part & the same image can be pasted without any pixel difference.
Any help would be appreciated

I put a image in asp .net. Now i need to get the property of the image using C#. help me, how to do this
|

Once you get the Image object you can get values from the Width and Height properties. A few other are available if you look deeper: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdrawingimageclasstopic.asp

Just i need to get Visible property only
i declare 2 images within datagrid like
<asp:datagrid id="dGrid" Width="50%" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Runat="server">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateColumn ItemStyle-Width="10%">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Image ID="imgPlus" Runat="server" ImageUrl="iimages\plus.gif"></asp:Image>
<asp:Image ID="imgMinus" Runat="server" ImageUrl="iimages\minus.gif"></asp:Image>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>

hello
i have aproblem here mixing RGB rays to produce colors??
i wanna to draw a color triangle using this mixture??
if i cant explain the problem told me to more explanitions
thx

So you want to draw an equilateral triangle like so:
R
*
***
*****
G ******* B
excuse the crappy ascii graphics
So the red componant of each pixel will depend on how close it is to the R point, the green componant on the distance from G and the blue point from it's distance from B.
Working these out is fairly straightforward using high school trig

look u have to know that the center of the triangle is white(255,255,255)
and there is no function draw pixel or points in windows application so plz help
thx

To draw pixels (assuming you're working on a Windows Forms project), place a PictureBox control on your form, create a Bitmap object in your code, then pass the PictureBox the bitmap using it's Image property
You can then use the bitmaps SetPixel member to plot points

A PictureBox is a lot of overhead (no need for an in-memory bitmap to get blitted to the on-screen bitmap) and it's often better to encapsulate your controls rather than using whatever you can find. This gives you much more control over what the control does.
To the original poster: In this case, the PathGradientBrush can be very effective when overriding OnPaint of your own control. There's a lot of documentation you should, read, however, which can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfSystemDrawingDrawing2DPathGradientBrushClassTopic.asp[^]. It - along with related classes - can calculate the gradient for you, if that's what you're trying to do.

Take a look at the PathGradientBrush , the GraphicsPath , and related classes and structs. If I understand your question right, the sample below should work for you by encapsulating your triangle into a separate control (with a clipping region set to the triangle for your control as well).
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Windows.Forms;
class Test : Form
{
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Test());
}
Test()
{
Text = "Triangle Example";
Triangle t = new Triangle();
Controls.Add(t);
t.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
}
}
class Triangle : Control
{
public Triangle()
{
SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint | ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint
| ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw, true);
UpdatePath();
}
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
if (!init)
{
UpdateBrush();
init = true;
}
Graphics g = e.Graphics;
g.Clip = region;
g.FillPath(brush, path);
}
protected override void OnResize(EventArgs e)
{
base.OnResize(e);
UpdatePath();
}
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
{
if (disposing)
{
if (path != null) path.Dispose();
if (region != null) region.Dispose();
if (brush != null) brush.Dispose();
}
}
GraphicsPath path;
Region region;
void UpdatePath()
{
PointF p1 = new PointF(Width / 2, Top);
PointF p2 = new PointF(0, Bottom);
PointF p3 = new PointF(Width, Bottom);
if (path != null)
{
path.Dispose();
path = null;
}
if (region != null)
{
region.Dispose();
region = null;
}
path = new GraphicsPath();
path.AddPolygon(new PointF[] {p1, p2, p3});
region = new Region(path);
if (init) UpdateBrush();
}
PathGradientBrush brush;
bool init = false;
void UpdateBrush()
{
if (brush != null)
{
brush.Dispose();
brush = null;
}
brush = new PathGradientBrush(path);
brush.CenterColor = Color.Gray;
brush.SurroundColors = new Color[] {c1, c2, c3};
}
Color c1 = Color.Red, c2 = Color.Green, c3 = Color.Blue;
public Color C1
{
get { return c1; }
set { c1 = value; UpdateBrush(); }
}
public Color C2
{
get { return c2; }
set { c2 = value; UpdateBrush(); }
}
public Color C3
{
get { return c3; }
set { c3 = value; UpdateBrush(); }
}
}

Hello,
I already looked in the articles but i did not found anyone. Does there not exist any article for PocketPc which works with tab pages - tab panes?
regards
pat

That's a rather vague question. What do you want to know, exactly? All you need to do is drag a TabControl onto your form, add tages through the TabPages property in the PropertyGrid, then drag controls onto specific TabPage s, which you can select like you would a TabControl at runtime in the designer to switch tabs.

Hi all,
Are there any c# code for writing a simple HTTPS server.
I have written code for a http but not a https server.
Thanks

You had to post another message to clutter up this board just to add that? Please use the [Delete] and [Modify] buttons appropriately when you want to change or delete a post, otherwise you force other threads off the board that may not get seen if someone doesn't page through.
XML is not a suitable replacement for a database. Instead, you should use SQL Server CE - a file-based database engine with much of the power of SQL Server 2000 (including replication, which is handy to stay in sync with a corporate or desktop database when going back online) but optimized for handheld PCs. Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/sqlce/[^].
If you want to store a relatively small amount of data, you could use XML but don't associate XML with traditional databases. XML is not designed to handle the load that databases do, nor does it scale nearly so well. You also don't have the flexibility of executing simple SQL expressions.
Because trying to replace a database with XML is not a good idea and would warrant an entire article - if not several - I'm not going into details, but you can get more information and examples of using XML by reading about the classes in the System.Xml[^] and System.Xml.XPath[^] namespaces, like the XmlDocument and XPathNavigator (for fast reads over a document without loading the entire thing into memory like you would with the XmlDocument ; use the XmlReader instead).
MSDN also has an entire developer center for XML and most often discusses managed implementations (i.e., .NET Framework applications) regarding XML. Take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/[^].

My problem is a very straightforward one. MS (probably for marketing purposes) claims that destructors are no longer necessary, while they obviously are - for freeing resources and similar tasks. Now I have a bit of a problem with getting a real destructor, not just a method that does some stuff without affecting object's existence at all. I want to kill an object so that every reference to that object anywhere becomes null - is that at all possible? Or do I have to keep track inside of the object of all possible references to it and free them from Dispose? Is there any way to force GC to kill the object?

Microsoft have a good marketing strategy that is true. But don't think microsoft playing marketing strategy in technologies that they are providing to developers. If so their product own survive in this competative industry. This is the first thing you need to know. This is fact (Don't worry i am not working for MS Corp).
See here you didn't mention which laguage that you are using to do deterministic destruction. So please specify that language first.
One more thing , here in CP we have an article which will deals the Diterministic Destruction. It's actually in MC++ by some other. Cool;)

Don't worry - I wouldn't hold it against you. I consider MS to be the best software company there is (which is not to say "ideal" or "fair"). But as a matter of fact I *do* think that they are tweaking programming languages for marketing purposes. I fail to see any other possible reason for removing keyword "delete" from a programming language other than to boast about GC doing all the work for you. It doesn't and writing destructors is absurdly complicated with .NET documentation trying to scare you into not doing it, quoting some huge performance overheads. What (non) quality IDisposable offers... well - I've already stated my opinion.
"See here you didn't mention which laguage that you are using to do deterministic destruction. So please specify that language first. "

Er... but i *did* post the message in C# forum, now didn't I? C# obviously.

Yeah, read it. Won't help me much. As there apparently is absolutely no way of clearing the memory manualy, well... I guess I'll just have to provide some instance managers for essential objects. Geez, how much time I save thanks to the whole autoGC idea - amazing, isn't it?
Thanks anyway.
