IDE :: Add A Reference To PresentationCore.dll In A Windows Forms Application
Jan 18, 2010
Using: Visual Studio 2008 Professional
I created a new project of type Windows Forms Application. And following a few posts elsewhere in order to implement spell checking on my application I attempting to add references to: PresentationCore.dll, PresentationFramework.dll, WindowsBase.dll, WindowsFormsIntegration.dll
BUT... when i go to add then they're grayed out and unselectable.
Can someone tell me why (i can't add the refs) and what I need to do to implement spell checking in a windows app?
Late Addition: I started out by copying the DLLs into the bin (after searching vs & .net installation folders) of a VS2005 project and that worked. I guess I can do the same here but I figure VS2008 should have this built in and I SHOULDN'T need to use the method.
Today I was build one Windows Service Application which has the reference to 4 Dll. After building the Release I found that there was one more DLL in addition to the reference I have. I checked using ILDASM and it only showed 4 dlls.What could be the issue ? How I can I check why it is getting unwanted DLL's in Release Folder?
I have a basic three form application. It doesn't seem to close after navigating through forms. If I were to open the application, and the main form is displayed. If I press the X button, the application closes fine(Goes from processes) If I were to open the application, and then navigate from the main form to another form using me.hide & form1.show, and press the red X on Form1, the application again, closes fine.
I have the requirement to create an application that has multiple front ends developed using Windows Forms, WPF, ASP and Compact Framework Mobile Forms.I would like to be able to create a series of obejct representing the business logic and have this logic accessible from the various front ends available. My first thought was to use remoting as I'd like to be able to pass the business objects back and forth between client and server but the compact framework doesn't support remoting and also transferring a full framework business object to a compact framework business object doesn't seem possible.My next thought was to use web services but again the passing of business objects seems to be very hard to accomplish. Without doing this I would have to create individual web methods for each business operation.
Finally my next option is to use sockets and write the whole client/server logic within some classes and expose them to the UI/Business layer. My only problem with this is it is not scaleable should the number of clients increase dramatically whereas using remoting or web services I can host the solution via ASP.Net.Does anybody have an ideas on the best way forward for this or even have any input on how they would write an application that required a windows form, wpf, asp website and mobile device GUI all of which want to use the same business logic?
I'm porting code that I wrote for use in a Windows Forms application to a Windows Service, but for some reason, the code that worked in the Windows Forms application is now throwing errors in the Service
I am making a System Tray Application when i minimize my form its hide itself in the tray but whenever i click on the tray icon my form shows now when my form shows up i would like to disable my Background desktop same as CardSpace when its shows up.
I have a windows forms application written in VB.NET which scrapes information from serveral web pages (who doesn't right)? Anyway, I am having problem with one particular site where partway through the page navigation my application hangs. When I press pause (or break) in the debugger, it stops on a call to System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents.
Resuming execution shows that it really is stuck on this line (it does not reach the next line of code). It also hangs about the same point each time I run it (at least its consistent). Since System.Windows.Forms.Application.DoEvents yields to other threads on the same processor and then resumes execution of the current thread, I think the problem is that some other thread is not behaving well (not returning from some event handling code). I thought Windows 7 was pre-emptive, which makes me doubt that theory but I really don't know.
[Code]...
The program scrapes somewhere between 12 and 14 pages before it gets stuck on the call to DoEvents. Does anyone have a clue why this would happen? Why would any call to DoEvents hang?
I am trying to use the System.Diagnostics.Process class.I have the following Windows Forms application. It consists of 1 Button and 1 TextBox. The only code is for the button click event as follows.
Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click Dim myProcess As New Process()
I have a fully functional multi-threaded VB2008 console application that I need to convert to a windows forms application. I am doing this to add additional functionality at a later time. How would I go about doing this?
My boss gave me an MS Access application that was developed by our former colleague. He wants me to convert that application to VB.Net Windows form application. I went through the MS Access Application. It contains tables, queries, forms, reports and macros. I could not find the programming (Where is the code written in MS Access?). My boss wants the windows application to be same as the MS Access Application (both in design and logic). I don't how will i develop the windows form. How can I achieve this?

We have an application in Access for UI and MS Sql server as Database server. We now decided to build a new application in web application for UI. This web application is only used by the employees who work for the company. But later we decided to host this web application on outside server. So the user (from this company only.) can able to login anywhere in the world. First I thought creating the web application using 'windows' authentication thinking we may be using it as an intranet web application. But now my manager asked me to use both 'Forms' and as well as 'Windows' for using this application and this web application will be hosted on outside server. I really don't catch his point of using both types of authentication.
Could i Create a windows forms application that would have a console application form I'll use an example: say i was creating an application that would need some text written in the command line. i create the windows forms application because i want a GUI for the start page. then when i click a button, it should open a console program that is inside the windows forms application (not a seperate project)
Public Class NAND Private inputA As Integer Private inputB As Integer Private outputQ As Integer

I have this code and I hope that this is correct. I build a dll component from the class file that contains this code and I am trying to use it as a reference in windows forms application. I have allready made this forms application and added the ddl to the reference but I do not know how to use it in there. I would like to activate (insert value 1) inputA & inputB using checkbox and that the outputQ is displayed in textbox (1 or 0). Do I have to use a vb interface to do this? And how can I use this code as dll component in the forms application?
I'm trying to design a windows form application. By default, .NET had put Tahome 8,25 on toolbar and Microsoft SansSerif 8,25 on everything else. To improve general look and feel of the forms I'd like to change them.
Which font family should I use as a default? And what size should they be? For:
Classic data input form (label + textbox, label + combobox...) Data grid
Is there any recommended way?
Application is a classic business app, you can think of it as an accounting type.
How can you write a VB.NET Windows Forms Application via CodeDom? I have tried everything, the closest i got to it is the code below, which first of all shows command prompt window which is not good, and then shows the form for like a second and everything disappears.
I have a windows forms app (32 bit) written in VB2010 which occassionally hangs in windows when minimised to the task bar You click on the icon on the taskbar and it will not come back up on the screen
No other modal forms are open in the application when the hang occurs Other programs respond OK
I ran Process Explorer against when it was Hung but do not know how to interpret the stack page, or even if it is helpful STack page with my application selected and Threads tab selected with CSwitch Delta column sorted descending. Then double clicking the top entry (my application .exe)
Note: This is running on an x64 machine, but also hangs on x32 machines
I want to allow the user to write a little script (JScript, VB, whatever) with a function called by my application that returns an XmlDocument object (a string would be ok).I did some research, and it looks like the scripting engines are obsolete.
The best solution I could find is here: [URL]..But I was wondering if there is a better and more "official" way.
I'm building a windows forms application that's supposed to run on a remote/isolated machine and send error notifications by email to the admins. I've tried employing System.Net.Mail classes to achieve this but I'm running into a strange problem:
1. I get an error message:
System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Receive(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset,
I understand that I cannot use the System.Console to output information from a Windows Forms application because the standard input, output, and error streams are not run through the console in winforms apps. But I can't seem to find any documentation on where the standard input, output, and error streams are being directed to! Basically, I have a winforms app that accepts command line arguments and can be run in batch mode, however, I just want to direct some feedback to the user based on whatever method they're accessing the program. The app is used to redirect a client-server application from one server to another. In some instances, the user does it by hand (with a mouse), and other times they're doing it in batch mode (using SAS, command shell, VBScript, etc...). In those instances, I'd prefer NOT to use MessageBoxes because it will kill any processing they're doing.
Creating a pdf document using Itext is quite simple if your application is a web application because you can find samples to help you out all over the web. Creating a pdf document for a windows application on the other hand is not so easy. I cannot find a single sample online anywhere.so far this is what I have:
Private Sub PrintDefaultReport() 'Declare PDF document Dim doc As New Document(PageSize.A4, 40, 40, 0, 35) Dim MemStream As New MemoryStream

What is the above equivalent for a windows application?
m planning to make it as such:1. BLL and DAL are on the same box.2. Only PL is installed on client machines.Simple enough. Right now am planning to go web service as I have no idea how to do this with windows forms. So in a nutshell, my question would be how to connect the PL to the BL and how to do this during the development stage. I was planning on deploying the BL as a webservice then during development, the PL sets a reference to it to get the data.Data will basically be datasets, datatables etc. Might also have a need to do some file transfer.
I have a problem with any vb.net application running on my windows 2003 vps. I've tested this by creating the simplest form with just a button on it and executing the following code...
What are the best practices to develop a software in such a way that I can release updates, I mean I can release an update which replace the existing executable but in case I have added some new references (dlls) to the project this won't work ? Is there any way I can do it without running an MSI?
i have one window application developed in VS 2005 which is running successfully on client side,My question is that now i want to convert this window application in WPF browser based application, so what should i keep in mind to convert this application to wpf applicaton, One more thing that in Window Application i have used one mdb file which contain database login detail, so on application startup this file is accessed using System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath+@"/filename.mdb", now im just want to test only whether can i login to my application using WPF or not this time it give me this error "Request for the permission of type 'System.Security. Permissions. RegistryPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral".
