View 3 RepliesI have gotten my application to open with an associated file type, but now I'm trying to figure out how to associate the file types to the app. I associated them on my PC manually by right clicking on a file and selecting "Open With.." and check-marking "Always use this application to open this file type".What I want to do, is have my program make itself the default application for a file type with the press of a button.If it makes it easier, I'm writing a text editor and want to give the users the option of making it the default text editor for .txt &/or .rtf files.

View 5 RepliesI have problem to associate an Icon to the specific extention like *.nst which is my application's file.
I can associate icon by writing some registry entries where I have given the path of the icon file. but I don't want to do like this I actually want to embed the icon file into the EXE file and then set the ICON.
I have embeded the icons into EXE by doing some stuff but when I have given the icon index that icon is not associated with the file only first ICON is associated.

View 1 RepliesI have a class with a Property called 'Value' which is of type Object.Value can be of any type, a structure, a class, an array, IList etc.My problem is with the setter and determining whether the value has changed or not.This is simple enough for value types, but reference types and lists present a problem.For a class, would you assume that the Equals method has been implemented correctly, or just assume that the value has changed every time the setter is called?If I did assume it's changed, then perhaps I should assume it for value types as well, so that the behaviour is consistent.

View 1 RepliesI am trying to find a way to associate a key with an index for a Listviewitem in VB.Net. I'm not even sure if it can be done with .Net but I know in VB6 I could do a
Listview.listitem.add "somestring", "somestring".
For the application I am using this in, I cannot have duplicate item.text so I would make the key the same as the string. this also made accessing the item easier since I didn't have to rely on index to update the subitems.
I am facing another issue. I want to associate a timer to my function. Actually what i am doing is that i am tryin to store certain values in a database.
