HI

I create this struct to load mi items in the comboBox, so far this is the only way I know to do it.

struct Elemento{

string Text;
string ID;
public Elemento(string text, string id){
this.Text = text;
this.ID = id;
}
public override string ToString(){

return this.Text;

}

}

then I use this line to load the items

comboBox1.Items.Add(new Elemento(MyItemName, MyItemId));

my question is:

How can I get back the value of an item

I did this but it does not workElemento MyItem;

MyItem = (Elemento )comboBox1.SelectedItem ;

I know Im close but there is something missing.

Is this the best practice to load or use a combobox

thks

Hi;

First off, I have read the following:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/10/Bootstrapper/
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnvs05/html/custom_pkg.asp
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms164294.aspx

Sorry for all the questions - there is a lot of content about using the bootstrapper to do X but none I could find about all the properties for anything other than the samples shown. And unfortunately none showed requiring J# (a prerequisite for us).

After reading the above (and some other pages) I have the following questions about using this:
1) Where is complete documentation for GenerateBootstrapper - including what to put in the package.xml to download from Microsoft (not included in the package and not download from us but downloaded from MS if needed):
a) .NET 2.0 framework
b) .NET 2.0 language pack if appropiate
c) J# 2.0 framework
d) J# 2.0 language pack if appropiate
e) whatever windows setup a wix built msi needs

2) Is there anywhere to get the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator and is it worth using The download link at http://www.gotdotnet.com/workspaces/workspace.aspx id=ddb4f08c-7d7c-4f44-a009-ea19fc812545 does not work.

3) How do I set it to run our msi installer when it is done with the prerequisites And is it embedded in the created setup.exe or downloaded at that time If an option, which is recomended.

4) How do I put out name and text in the dialogs for setup.exe

5) Is this a single file Or is this a set of files that we need to write an installer for

6) Is there a way to make Sql Server Express an option and not show it as an option if Sql Server regular or express (not only express) is already installed

7) Are there any samples of how we should set up our part of package.xml and the rest of our settings - both in our msbuild.proj file and in the xml files that list what goes in to the bootstrapper.

8) Can this be set so that it will look first on disk for the needed install files and then on MS' website so if we put this all on disk we can use the same bootstrapper

8b) And if so, where do we get those files and what is the directory structure

I hope with answers to the above I will have at most 1 - 2 followup questions.

thanks - dave

Private Sub ClbDrives_ItemCheck(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.ItemCheckEventArgs) Handles ClbDrives.ItemCheck

LBoxGames.Items.Clear()
For Index As Integer = 0 To Drives.Length - 1
If e.NewValue = CheckState.Checked Then
If Drives(e.Index) <> String.Empty Then
LBoxGames.Items.AddRange(Split(Drives(e.Index), "|"))
End If
End If
Next

End Sub

The problem is when I check an Item the Listbox LBoxGames gets cleared and when I uncheck an Item the Listbox LBoxGames gets filled.

LBoxGames is a Listbox
Drives is a String()
ClbDrives is a CheckedListBox

I am trying to fill a listbox with the strings from Drives but only the ones that corespond with which item's are checked in ClbDrives.
For example, if items 0,2,3 and 5 were checked the I would clear the ListBox and add strings 0, 2, 3 and 5 from Drives to the Listbox. I hope it isn't confusing.

I have no idea what I am doing wrong. If somebody knows, please respond.

Thank you,

I just recently renewed my signing cert, unfortunately I found out that my clients will needed to uninstall / reinstall the application to get the new signed certificate ClickOnce app. Just for kicks, Does anyone know what happens to an expired certificate with a ClickOnce deployment Does it affect any of the following

1. Clients who have the 'click once' app already installed, get a certificate expired message

2. Does the existing app continue to get updates

3. Do new click once installations work

4. etc.

Bottom line, does it affect any normal operation of the click once app, other than its certificate is just expired

I have developed a tool in C#/.NET and built the release .EXE of that tool. I woluld like to build an MSI install of the tool.

How can I do that from within the Visual Studio.NET IDE


Thanks

Hi,

I have a scenario where there are dual/multi monitor systems. I have written a nag (like a message box) application, which prompts the users with a message. Now, in a dual monitor scenario this message gets always prompted in the primary monitor of the user.

Is there a way to identify that the user is on the second monitor and prompt the message in the second or the user active screen. It would even help if we can prompt the message based on the mouse cursor position – in a dual monitor scenario.

This is very urgent, kindly help.

Thanks in advance,

Dan

I have a comment datagrid, which store comment in desc. order( the most recent listed first)

I wonder is there a way to put the new row at the top instead of bottom of the datagrid
