hi! What is the correct way to do ti when using multiple threads? Thanks Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi, Remember the bad old days of VB6? You wanted a global variable, you added a module, and that was it. I know its bad programming... :p Now, my app loads one Form only. But, the app has a lot of classes that are created to deal with network data. How can I have the app's main Form(the ui) get modified by those other classes? How do you modify a form's progress bar from another class? ARgh.. Thanks for your help :) Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi! THis is what I first did. But the child can move 'under' the panel, as though it did not exist. Also, when you max the child, its min-max box goes way up there under the parents' one, instead of under the panel. Thanks! Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi! I want to make an MDI application. I want the Parent form (frmMain to hold a menu and a Panel (docked top). And I want the MDIChild Forms to be encased, but below the Panel. How do I do that ? Thanks! and cheers :) Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Thanks for the input! Ok So the request forms are all sent out. I just I wont need to shell out money by the windows. :) Cheers Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Yeah, OK. thanks for the answer. didn't thought about the loss of loading time. Do you know of a way to keep the videos secure? Digital Rights Managment seems a way to go -is it??? ;) Cheers Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi I am using VS 2003 with the latest windoze media player. I want to hide a video in a dll. Then I want the media player to access it. How do I do that? Thanks! Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi! So, here is a relatively simple question, for you, I hope! ;) I'm running VS Studio Entreprise 2002 on WinXP, and doing some ASP.NET development. The app is in debug mode, and when I try to compile the weasel, well, it compiles. BTW, this is a simple chat room I'm trying to create... Great so far heh? :) But, the page contains a few textboxes, and a submit button. ....And here the troubles begin... When I press the submit button, which add some text from the textbox into the application variable, namely, Application.Add("MessagesReceived", new ArrayList()); The text is entered into this variable. Then, when the user tries to access the MessagesReceived variable, with, namely... Session.Add("WhereToStart", new int()); int tmpInt = (int)Session["WhereToStart"]; Response.Write(Session["WhereToStart"].ToString()); The application crashes and says to me that the WhereToStart session is not an instance of an object, which kind of really bugs me bad. :mad: loll To wrap it up, I'm trying to create a simple chat room, and am at the code writing stage.... G.U.I. later.. and I can'T use my session variable, which seems to vanish before I can use it hence the title 'The Phantom Session' catchy isn'T it? mouhhaa Thanks for your help, Antoine Dubuc This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi! I'm trying to have my videos of our software (which is to be burned onto a dvd or cd) protected from copying. I mean, I dont want the user to copy-paste the lot of them with a happy smile. I'd like them to be read-only. Of course, it would be nice if there exist a simple solution -aka not too expensive or even free!- to this minor problem. What are my options ? thanks ! :) This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi! Here is my question What is the code or method to detect the application's CD when the user install or start the application? Since the application must access the videos that are in the CD, I need the app to automatically detect where it's cd is, and if possible, have the cd's file uncopyable ;) Thanks! Antoine ps.: I'm writing a c# app with Visual Studio 2002 Ent, .NET 1.1, on winXP and for WinXP/2K. This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Nope. :p Dunno why, but even with trying to view the pre-created WebForm1.aspx by rightclicking on it in the solution browser and selecting 'View in Browser', the page gets the same error... The sucker can't read the Global.asax.cs type. :omg: mmm... :~ Got Ideas ? ;):laugh: Thanks Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi! This is a straight question:laugh: You create a C# ASP.NET application with Visual Studio 2002 Entreprise Edition that you burned from the web, because you're a cheap bastard:cool:. You name it WebApplication1. You then add a Web User Control and dress it up a bit with a couple of Picture controls, and a Button control, just to be cute. Again, you name it WebUserControl1... you also have no sense of style.:eek: Basically, your Microsoft programming life sucks. You don't yet know sh$t about ASP.NET and the CLR and the wizard of OZ.:doh: You then try to see the bugger (WebUserControl1) in the browser by right clicking on it (in the solution explorer) and selecting "view in browser". Zit! A server error greets your enthusiastic attempt.:omg: Error message: Impossible to load the type 'WebApplication1.Global'. Error source: "Line 1: <%@Application codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.Global"%> What I did: I created an asp.net project, added a web user control, add some images and a button to it and tried to view it in the browser. Pretty straightforward approach. What am I missing ??? thanks,:-D Antoine:laugh: This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Thanks! I dont really know what I did, but now it works. And for now, that's enough for me. I'll dig in later, thans! Antoine (prononced Antwone) This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi! I'm writing an WinForm app in c# with VS2002 on win2000sp3 with mediaplayer9. I have a Windows Media Player control that I added to my controlsbox by going into the COM controls tab. This winmedplayer is embedded in the WinForm, much like the 'Play' button, of course. The problem I have is that whenever the application starts, it creates an exterior Windows Media Player window that then loads the video and plays it in its own window. My application just sits there behind with its own embedded media control that doesn't do anything. Here is the code for the load event of th app.: private void frmMain_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { string location; location = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Administrateur\\Mes documents\\My Work\\Recherche et Developpement\\Videos et Audios\\Vidéo\\Q.AVI"; axWinMedPlayer.openPlayer(location); } So my question is: how may I play the video in the Windows Media Control that is embedded on my Windows Form? -instead of having it played in a new Windows Media Player window independant of my app winform... Thanks! :) Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

If I'm correct, you can try Application.Startup or somethun.. This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi, Having not found a good XPath tutorial out there yet, here is my question.. This is how I try to display the fisrtname of the first contact in the Contact.xml file, Consider this code: XmlDocument myDoc = new XmlDocument(); myDoc.Load(Application.StartupPath + "\\Contact.xml"); txtPrénom.Text = myDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Prenom").Value; What am I missing here? Thank you for your help! Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi Phillip, Ok. So I am trying to display the firstname of the first contact in the Contact.xml file... XmlDocument myDoc = new XmlDocument(); myDoc.Load(Application.StartupPath + "\\Contact.xml"); txtfirstname.Text = myDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Contact[1]//firstname").Value; What am I missing? I am trying to find a good XPath resources, but its hard. MSDN doen't do it for me up to now. thanks :) Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Good. Xpath is something new to me. I'll check that out and try it. thank! Antoine This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

Hi, My Question Is: with regards to XML in a C# context. For the record, I'm using VS 2002, running Win2000 dayly updated, cel400mhz,192ram,dotNET1.1 The Premices: Put simply, I am trying to use XML as a relationnal database for an application. I figured an XML schema, an XML file, and some code to plug it in and that was it. The application is to store contacts information and more types of info as we upgrade it. So what makes sense here is to have an XML file for each type of info. The user needs to be able to do the usual, such as view, add, modify, delete entries. The XML files should reside in the main application folder. Now, this is part of what I tried: -please bare in mind I'm kinda new with xml...;) The Faulty Code: string item; XmlDocument myDoc = new XmlDocument(); myDoc.Load(Application.StartupPath + "\\Contact.xml"); XmlNode myNode = myDoc.FirstChild; item = myNode.FirstChild.InnerText.ToString(); txtFirstName.Text = item; The Error Message: An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in Orchus_temp.exe Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. The Question Redux: " How do I add, modify, view and delete data that is stored in an XML file and rendered in a C# application? " I propose to write an article about the resolution of theses issues, since a lot of people have to resolve these kind of problems, I believe. So feel free to respond extensively as this will be the substace of my first article! :-D Thanks!:) Antoine Dubuc Montreal, Canada This by our hands that dream, "I shall find a way or make one!"

There is no magical solutions. The roots are the way to them. Either pull them off manually -and completely ;-)- or follow the advice on the poison posted above. Or, another inventive way, my kinda way, would be to get the scouts or a bunch of kids to do it for peanuts. Viva el cheapo labor!
