GDI+Rendering Rounded Rectangle?
Feb 16, 2011Working on some UI stuff, but I am having a problem drawing 'Top rounded' rectangles when the two top corners are rounded. I have methods to draw all four corners rounded and bottom rounded rectangles and they render fine.
I have attempted the graphics methods in CreateTopRoundedRect() in a variety of different orders, drawing the other corner first, the bottom line first, the bottom line before the left line, etc. In this function you can see a diagonal line splitting the shape. If you were to switch the bottom and left lines only half of the shape would be filled.

Rounded Rectangle Not Accurate?
May 19, 2011Every sample code I've ever found for drawing rounded rectangles using GDI+ goes something like this (lifted and slightly modified from BobPowell.net):
Private Sub Panel1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PaintEventArgs) Handles Panel1.Paint
e.Graphics.Clear(SystemColors.Window)
e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.None
[code]....
This produces a rounded rectangle where only the top left corner is accurate.AntiAliasing has to be turned off because it is going through a remote desktop connection, and I can't depend on it being available. Besides, I am looking for a crisp rounded rectangle.I've tried resizing the other corners and changing the pen alignments, but nothing seems to produce a simple, accurate rounded rectangle.Is there a way to draw a better rounded rectangle than this in good old winforms?
VS 2010 Creating A Rounded Rectangle W/ Transparent Corners?
Jan 24, 2011I know how to create the Rounded Rectangle, but what i don't know how to do, is make the area outside of the rounded rectangle (the corners) become transparent This is going to be used on a usercontrol, so i really need it to be transparent and not just blend in (ie adapt to the colour of the parent form).

.net 2.0 - .net Winforms Design / Layout?
Dec 2, 2010I am working on a windows forms project that will allow a user to have an interface to the database, and another will be a nightly run process file that will update the database table.The user will add new records to the table, whereas the nightly process will update the columns with new values (think mortgage interest rates)
Both these projects will be using the same business logic component that has the calculations needed to enter values into the table.The way I am figuring this out, is that I will have two exe's (one for the interface and one for the nightly process) and have a central object that will host the calculations. What would be the best object for this purpose?A class file?A windows service? (I want to stay away from a windows service, because it will have to be running all the time)

View 2 RepliesC# - Design Time Exception Not Caught In WinForms
Oct 4, 2010I have a form that is used at design-time to configure various properties. I've tried two ways to do a form-level catch all exception:
(1) I add a handler to Application.ThreadException in the constructor.
(2) I wrap the Show method, of the form, in a Try/Catch block
Both of these work at run-time when I test by adding a property grid to a form and set my component as the SelectedObject. However, at design-time the form simply closes with no message whatsoever; neither my message nor any message explaining that there is an unhandled exception. This is not about debugging at design-time. It's about how to present the user with a friendly message when my type editor encounters an unhandled exception.

View 1 RepliesDatabase - Warehouse Inventory Design - Display The Contents In A "grid" Style Layout On A Form
Mar 17, 2012I have been staring at a blank screen for over an hour trying to figure out the best way to build this app. We have a warehouse with consumables. These consumables are stored on racks that are three rows high and 15 columns long. I need to display the contents of these racks with the following; Item nameUnit quantityUnit expiration date
Now while this in itself would be a simple thing, I need to . Take a look at this image, the lower portion of the image shows basically what I want to display as far as the form goes. Instead of the "Row 1-1-1" text, I want to show the item, qty and exp. There are multiple rows. It should also be noted that each location may have more than one item stored in it, and there might not be anything stored in it. So I guess my question is, from a design point, is it better to create a small table for each location and then join those tables to a main "Row" table since there will only be a single row displayed on the form at a time? How would it be possible to keep the data properly ordered from a coding perspective? How can I ensure that each storage location remains static unless the item is moved?

View 1 RepliesC# - Refresh Property Grid, At Design-time, When A Readonly Collection Changes In .Net, Winforms?
Mar 3, 2010I have a class that has a readonly collection property - Its a list of extender providers that have been applied to the control.I've implemented a simple property descriptor for the collection so that the property can be expanded in the property grid to examine each entry.
When I select an extender provider and set it to false, I remove it from the collection. The GetProperties method of the type converter is requeried and the property grid refreshes.However, when I set an extender provider to true, and thus add it to the collection, GetProperties is not requeried.
Somehow, the property grid is making a distinction between adding to and removing from the collection. Or alternativly, its refreshing when an extender provider is added, but not when one is removed.

Persisting A Collection, That References An Internal Property, At Design Time In Winforms, .net?
Mar 11, 2010(I've answered the question below with a hack. I'm fairly confident in it unless MS change the way that codedom serializers the designer code.)ETA2:I've worked out what is going on. I wondered why sometimes it would work and not others. It boils down to the name that I give to the internal property and the collection.If I rename the property 'Annoyance' to 'WTF', it will serialize correctly because 'WTF' is, alphabetically, after the name of the collection - 'InternalAnger'.It looks like the serializer is creating instances of objects alphabetically and needs my internal property to be created by the time it comes to create the collection.I can fix this with a rename, but that's a hack and I fear that writing a custom serializer is a big job - which I've never done before.ETA: Jesus, I'm sick of this. This problem was specifically about persisting an interface collection but now on further testing it doesn't work for a normal collection. Here's some even simpler code:
Public Class Anger
End Class
Public Class MyButton

View 3 RepliesAdvanced Login Form With Access 2007 Database?
Apr 7, 2010i am trying to build a Visual Basic program with an Access 2007 database in the back. I have another Access 2007 database with two tables stored in there. Each table has two columns, a UserID and Password column. This database will be used with a LoginForm so that if the user enters a normal login and password they will be taken to a specific form whereas if they enter an AdminID and password they will be taken to another form with different features. I managed to connect to the database and it works fine but i tried making the passwords and user names case sensitive for better security. I don't have a problem with this when i try only one of the tables, but when i try to implement the second table (to check if the login is an admin or a normal user)

Feb 22, 2010Given a rectangle of width w and height h. and a coordinate x,y in that rectangle I would like to identify which triangle I am within.
i.e. the function should take parameters(x,y) and return a,b,c,d or a zero based number representing that triangle index i.e. (0=A,1=B,2=C,3=D) if they are in that order.
I think this would be something like >= the formula of the red line and >= the formula of the green line?
