- ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Getting the MSI Package Path from a custom actionHello,
I need to add licensing functionality to a MSI Package. The package should be shipped together with a license file which will be evaluated by a custom action. The problem is that the current directory in the custom action seems to be the system32 folder. Does anybody have an idea how to access the folder where the MSI package actually is situated from the custom action
Thanks in advance

- ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Dynamically created Registry Keys in .NET InstallerHi,
I have written a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio 2005 (VC++). I have created a Setup Project in my solution and am configuring it. My application uses registry values, and so I am entering the Registry Keys and Values needed by my app in the deployment Registry Editor within Visual Studio 2005. I use several Values whose data is a filename or path, but that path depends on the selected install folder the user chooses while installing the program (using this Setup program I am creating.) My question is, is it possible to use some sort of variable while specifiying the value for a Registry Value in the Registry Editor And if it is, how do I get the Root Target Folder for the installed application Thanks -
Samy
PS. It occurs to me that I may be doing this all wrong, that maybe I should be using some class in the .NET Framework to dynamically retrieve the root target folder everytime my app runs instead of storing that in the registry, but I could not find any such class (or property or method). The only one I know about can change when an Open/Save FileDialog sets a new path.

- Windows Forms General Getting a form to appear only once
Hi All,
I have a windows 'Master frame' in which a number of forms can be instantiated (upon the selection of a menu item, or pressing a button in the master toolbar. All of these can be moved around within the boundaries specified in the master frame.
However, I don't want the user to be able to instantiate two instances of the same form in the frame! (E.g. One form is for "Student Details". If they press the student details button once, the form will appear. If they press it again, another form will appear.) Is there an easy way to do this (say in the properties of the form object) Also, if the form already exists, I would like it to set focus to the existing form.
Thanks heaps

I inherit from usercontrol and create an handler for the OnPaint event, then I need to detect when cursor is over the edge of the control (a simple rectangle) and if the left button is pressed and the mouse dragged, resize the control.
I read about using drawgrabhandle method but I'mnot sure what this method does.
Can someone help me

- Windows Forms General menu item and AddHandler?
Ok, new problem.
I can not find where I did this before.
Dyamically adding menu items:
string sql = "Select * From myTable";
OleDbConnection conn = getDb();
conn.Open();
OleDbCommand myCommand = new OleDbCommand(sql, conn);
OleDbDataReader myReader = myCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
while(myReader.Read())
{
mnuView.MenuItems.Add(myReader[0].ToString());
}
myReader.Close();
I need to add a handler to each menu item for a click event.
Check/uncheck and other actions I already have written.
It's like right on the tip of my mind, but just can't see it... must be late.
Thanks,
Zath

- Windows Forms Data Controls and Databinding ErrorProvider time-delays
Several time-delay properties are exposed for the ToolTip component - AutoPopDelay, InitialDelay, ReshowDelay. These properties are not members of the ErrorProvider class. It seems as though they might be available somehow because the ErrorProvider displays what look like ToolTips, but I can't find the technique. Is there a way
Thanks,

If you're referring to the text in a setup project's user interface, you can't check it directly when the user enters it. Visual Studio setup projects have no feature to add custom action code in the UI sequence. The best you can do is let the user enter it and then validate it in a custom action, but the custom action will run pretty much at the end of the installation and this may not be what you want. There are other tools that build MSI files that will let you do this.

- ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects making a setupfile
I am making a program for a client of ours in Visual Basic Express.
The idee is that they put there daily incomes in the program and they send the database back to us.
I have tried to make a setupfile through publish.
However when I install the program on an other pc, I can't seem to find the database.
Does anyone know where this database should be
I have been searching for any mdf-files, but I can't seem to find the one I need.

- Windows Forms General Webbrowser preventing enter firing
I have created an MDI which can display 2 types of child windows: a) windows form with textbox control (to display text files) and b) windows form with embedded axWebBrowser. If I only display multiple child windows of the file type, then I can click on any part of the window to bring that child window to the front. However, as soon as I also display a webBrowser type window, I can only change which child window is on the top by clicking on the window title bar, regardless of what "type" of window it is i.e. clicking on any other part of the form will not bring that window to the top although I can input data into that child window, even though it remains at the back. Once I have shown a webbrowser type window, the other child windows continue to exhibit this strange behaviour even if I close the webbrowser child.
Strangely, this behaviour is machine dependent - it works fine on one pc but displays the behaviour described above on another. Both are running IE6. I have checked all my internet options and cannot see any obvious difference.
Is anyone able to make any suggestions of how to correct this behaviour or why it is machine specific. I have searched the internet extensively but seen nothing similar reported anywhere.

- Windows Forms Data Controls and Databinding Assign Value to unbound DataGridViewComboBoxColumn
Hi, i have a problem vith comboBoxColumn. i want to assign a value
to unbound comboBox cell and when i change its index want it to fire an event. I use CellFormatting event to assign value like below
private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender,DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{ //(unVisibleSourceColumn is unvisible and belongs to bound dataset)
if(dataGridView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Name.Equals("comboColumn")) {
e.Value = Convert.ToString(dataGridView1.CurrentRow.Cells["unVisibleSourceColumn"].Value)}
}
At that point, assign unVisibleSourceColumn's value to combo just for new row . Registered SelectedIndexChanged event for combo in EditingControlShowing . The code in combo_SelectedIndexChanged is below
private void combo_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UpdateDataSetsUnVisibleSourceColumnValue()
// here just updates value of currentRows unVisibleSourceCells value for bound dataset
}
After this, the program seems to enter infinite loop because of CellFormatting (P4 CPU %100 and crashes)
My question is, why it calls CellFormatting continuously except just one time and if anyone have suggestion for that case:
datagridView is bound to a dataset, an unbound DataGridViewComboBox is added, want to add first value
to combocell according to sourceColumn in dataset and when changing index of it, updating sourceColumn value. Thanks to everyone..

- ClickOnce and Setup & Deployment Projects Web Publishing with multiple connection strings
Hi,
We have two environments available to all users, one for testing and user training, pointing to a database and a live environment pointing to another database. A third is on the developer machines and we all have our own DB running locally. I publish to two different locations for users (live and test) and two links on the users desktop point to either environment, which need different connection strings.
Here's my problem:
Before publishing, I change the connection string to say "Data Source=testserver", but when users start the test app it will fail and the log says:
**********
http://d9k2cn1j/Golfbreaks.TheClubhouse/Test/Golfbreaks.TheClubhouse_1_0_0_6/Golfbreaks.TheClubhouse.exe.config did not succeed.
**********
But if I had left the connection string as "Data Source=(local)", which is where my Dev DB is, it works fine.
Also, if I change the .config file from "(local)" to "testserver" after a publish in the source directory , the database still points to (local)!!!
Any ideas how I could somehow tell the publisher to use a different .config file depending on where I'm deploying to
Many thanks for your time if anybody could help us.
