Is it possible to detect that a file in a project is saved from a VS2005 add-in?

Yes, I have considered it. As I understand it I may not distribute it without a separate license from the author. While not impossible to overcome, it adds some extra hassle with my boss. ;) Secondly my application is distributed through ClickOnce. It seems like an extra hurdle to distribute and use it given that the application has no rights at all in the client system. At this point I more or less gave up to be able to move on. I wrote some code that change the font to one of the Sim* fonts if needed. Nevertheless, thanks for the reply.

Sort of... I'm not located in China myself, so I'm not aware of what fonts support the Chinese character set. I have Googled this issue but I wasn't able to find a suitable answer, because I do not want to use different fonts for Chinese, Japanese etc. which is the usually suggested approach. Segoe UI would be the perfect choice, but it's not always available on XP. So question is if there is a similar font on XP? This problem should be very common, since my program is not the first to be translated into Chinese. Rather than going through hundreds of fonts, which is what I'm planning to do today I popped the question here.

Hi, I'm developing a Windows Forms application that will be translated to all kinds of languages, including Simplified Chinese. On Windows Vista it works just fine with the Segoe UI font, but on XP all Chinese chars become boxes due to that it falls back to Tahoma. Does anyone have a suggestion on an alternative font that I can use? Preferably it should be installed by default on Windows XP, it should not be too different from Tahoma or Sagoe UI and finally it should be possible to use for most languages out there, ie have a full Unicode set of characters. Best regards Christian

Thanks a bunch. It did the trick it seems. :)

How can I create a schema for the following?

<Data>
<Value unit="m/s">10</Value>
<Value unit="ºF">25</Value>
</Data>

I would like to have the following description in the xsd

<xs:complexType name="rootSchema">
xs:sequence
<xs:element name="Value" type="valueSchema" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:element name="Multicalc" type="rootSchema" />

How do I write the definition of valueSchema? (I hope I didn't make any mistakes in the definitions. I simplified things a bit compared to my own xsd.)

I can confirm that they will disregard the attachment when using the mailto: link. This is the way that I have been trying to use. But it must be possible somehow. WinZip and several other archivers are able to do Zip and e-mail, so it must be possible.

You posted the same question 2 hours ago. Once is enough. I think you should supply some more information in your other thread. How are you trying to access the Excel file etc?

This does not seem to be a C# question. You have the wrong forum!

I would like to open a new e-mail with an attachment in the default e-mail program, similar to the functionality in WinZip's context menu. I can open a new e-mail, but I can't make it recognize the attachment. Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks! This works like a charm!

If you are using a client server approach, you would probably be best off if you made a function to retrieve a list of the users from the server.

I want to detect if a key is held down during the start up of my program, i.e. in

static void Main()

Is this possible to achieve? I want to make a safe mode that will be entered if the user holds down the shift key when starting the program.

I would have done the same. When I read the first few lines I thought it was some kind of joke and then it got worse.

I don't think so.

.NET is very easy to deploy. If you only use the built in functionality, ie. no external dll's, you can simply move the exe and run it. Assuming that you have the correct .NET Framework installed. There are minor differences between Debug and Release mode and I don't think this is the reason for the crash. If the program closes after some time it seems more likely that you have a bug that you need to fix in your program.

I am thinking this would be better done with a database. Databases have built in functions for maintaining ID's. They also have functions for aggregating the data in most ways you can think of.

I think you need to be more specific to get an answer to this question. What is it that you want help with?

The System.Windows.Forms.CheckedListbox contains the following properties that you can use to find out what nodes are selected: .SelectedIndex .SelectedIndices .SelectedItem .SelectedItems .SelectedValue If you want to find out which ones are checked you should use any of the following: .CheckedIndices .CheckedItems

No funciton definition can be done in these type of classes.

What do you mean? It's quite possible to have methods and properties in the abstract class. The only limitation is that it cannot be instantiated. As previously stated you use them as base classes that can contain common functionality that all derived classes need/can make use of.
