I'm having some trouble trying to inherit a control that uses an embedded resource. The trouble is - this control uses me.GetType() instead of GetType(ControlName). Now when I try to use the derived control, it looks for the resources in the derived control's assembly, instead of the base control assembly, and obviously - doesn't find them.
View 1 Repliesi have added 3 .png files [done.png, failed.png, busy.png] to my project & changed them to "embedded resource" [from this wht i understand is that they will be integrated within the exe hence eliminating the dependency on the actual location it is stored]
i have 1 picturebox on my form whose image i have to change as per the output of something else
this is wht my code looks like :
If text1.text = "Done" then
picturebox1.image = my.resources.done.png
end if

I am wanting to use a vnc installer as an embedded resource, and if the computer running the program does not have vnc installed then typing in a password will install vnc. I have tried everything I can think of and running the process from my computer works, however when ran on a different computer i get the error "File not Found". I am sure I am not calling the embedded resource correctly. I am using Process.Start(" ightvnc.exe /S")

View 1 RepliesI've copied the files albanyc.ttf and MTCORSVA.TTF into 'Resources' and set the 'Build Action' for both to 'Resource'. A label is set to one or other of these fonts dependent upon what is being displayed. This works fine on this PC but when I copy the program to my laptop it seems to me that neither font is used and the same 'other font' is used in stead of either of the ones I want to use. I tried setting the build action to 'Embedded Resource' but that made no difference and I got an error message when I tried 'Compile' (I kinda expected that, but thought it worth a try). Both CP and laptop have the same OS, Win.7 64bit, the only difference is that the PC has Pro. and the laptop Home P.
View 7 RepliesI'm having trouble with reading a file from embedded resources.
I'm starting to learn about developing applications for eBay. You can pass queries to eBay in XML format, and receive replies back in the same format.
I have some examples of code to do this. Here's how the sample code loads an xml file, containing the query.
'Get XML Document from Embedded Resources
Dim xmlDoc As New XmlDocument()
Dim current_assembly As Assembly
[Code]....
I can't see any difference between the sample and my attempt.
The Assembly Name and Root Namespace in my project are both set to "Sample," just as in the original.
I've tried things like changing the filename and the namespace, but I still can't get it to work.
In runtime I'm programmatically changing the forecolor to all label and radiobutton controls placed in the groupbox.
The only thing missing is to set the groupbox text/caption forecolor, but as soon as I do so programatically all controls in the groupbox inherits the font type and color making the text hard to read on the Button controls placed within the groupbox.
If I took a COM object (specifically Excel 2003 workbook) and made it an embedded resource of my executable, would that improve the notoriously slow .NET-COM interop at all?

I have downloaded and played with the standard MS Examples in the VS2008 Download pages.They are very good for some areas but a little light in database handling.
1) Search Grid plus the Record Selected Display (this is beyond the scope of MIcrosofts VS2008 Examples)
2) Using plain ADO commands with VS2008 (rather than all the fancy data controls)
3) Using Stored Procedures rather than all the fancy data controls
4) Database Access Examples
My application area of interest is mainly ERP, Accounting and CRM Systems

I have an .exe project with a form in it that I want to use as a base class for other forms in the project. So I try to add a new inherited form to the project, but it says "Warning: No build assemblies contain components to inherit from. Build the current application, or click Browse and select a previously built assembly from another application". My base class is declared public and my exe has been built. I don't understand. Can you only do form inheritance in a dll?
View 1 RepliesI have a custom control type that inherits from ListBox. It is a list box where you can assign a ContextMenuStrip to each individual item, stored in a Dictionary object. To do this I also had to create a helper class that inherits from ObjectCollection to make sure the owning ListBox gets notified whenever an item is added or removed from the collection, so the corresponding entry in the dictionary can be removed.Now I have a problem that baffles me: Whenever I right click an entry in my EnhancedListBox, I get the following error on the line that has been marked red in the "InvalidArgument=Value of '1' is not valid for 'SelectedIndex'."(Of course, the value can be 0 or 2 as well, depending on which item in the list I click.)
I have checked, and there are 3 objects in the collection, in fact the current value of SelectedIndex was 1. The quotes are also misleading, the value I am trying to assign if of type integer, as is the current value of SelectedIndex.

I have a MustInherit class, let's call it BaseClass, with a bunch of MustOverride ReadOnly properties. The user is supposed to inherit this class and override the properties, returning appropriate values.To help the user decide which property does what, I have included XML comments for each property, so the BaseClass looks like this [code]I now want to enable the user to inherit this class (DerivedClass1) instead, so that he can, for example, override only the Name property, and leave the other properties untouched. This way, he can create a slight modification to one of the default classes, instead of having to rewrite it completely (in reality, there are loads more properties). There are no XML comments, because they are in the BaseClass, and not in the DerivedClass1, which is the class I'm inheriting. In other words: the XML comments are not 'inherited'.Do I really have to copy/paste all the XML comments from the BaseClass and put them in the DerivedClass1 too? Or can I somehow tell the DerivedClass1 to use the XML comments from its base class?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to create a custom datasource control.
I have been following this article to the letter (I think...).
I have a skeleton / basic implementation of my datasource, however when I declare it in the markup and try to statically bind it to a gridview, I receive the following error:
The DataSourceID of 'grdVw' must be the ID of a control of type IDataSource
This seems extremely strange to me, since my datasource inherits from DataSourceControl, which in turn implements IDataSource. Even if I explicitly implement IDataSource in my custom datasource, it makes no difference.
My Markup is:
<DataBrokerDataSource ID="objSrcDBroker" runat="server" />
<div>
<asp:GridView ID="grdVw" DataSourceID="objSrcDBroker" DataMember="Table0" runat="server">

I have 2 business classes, user & salutation and 2 DAL classes of the same name.
The business classes both have properties of the data class E.g.
Public Property Data() As Data.Salutation
Get
Return _Data
[Code].....
To access some data, you would do Business.Salutation.Data.SalutationID
Both busines classes inherit from BaseClass which contains all my database access methods.
Is there a way that I can access the Data property of the inheriting classes from the BaseClass?
I assume I will need to use reflection as the property types will always be different.
