Ok Found part of my solution here c# - Is ConfigurationManager.AppSettings available in .NET Core 2.0? - Stack Overflow[^] I installed System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager from Nuget into my .net core 2.2 application. I then reference using System.Configuration; Next, I changed WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings to .. ConfigurationManager.AppSettings

Hi Gerry Thank you for your reply but that is not the issue. I have that issue is the following is not in 6.0 I have the following at the beginning of my code.

Quote:

using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Data.Common; using System.Linq; using System.Xml.Linq; using System.Security.Cryptography; using System.Web; // requires a reference to System.Web.dll using System.Web.Configuration; // requires a reference to System.Configuration.dll

I cannot find a reference to items in bold so looking for how to reproduce the same functionality System.Web.Configuration was required for HttpContextBase and WebConfigurationManager

Quote:

using System.Web.Configuration; // requires a reference to System.Configuration.dll HttpContextBase httpContext ConnectionString = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings[name].ConnectionString

I have an app in csharp dot net version 4.7.1 and moving to dotnet version 6. The snippet of code from 4.7.1 is

Quote:

using System.Web; // requires a reference to System.Web.dll using System.Web.Configuration; // requires a reference to System.Configuration.dll /// /// Imports an xml store by it's relative path in ASP.NET and returns the requested connection. /// Does not open the connection. /// /// Context of HTTP request to resolve relative path with. (e.g. HttpContext.Current) /// Full or relative server path. (e.g. ~/App_Data/databases.xml) /// Returns a new instance of the provider's class that represents a connection to the database. public static DbConnection Open(HttpContextBase httpContext, string configurationFileName, string connectionName) { DbConnection connection = Connection(httpContext, configurationFileName, connectionName); connection.Open(); return connection; } /// /// Imports an xml store by it's relative path in ASP.NET and returns the requested connection. /// Does not open the connection. /// /// Context of HTTP request to resolve relative path with. (e.g. HttpContext.Current) /// Full or relative server path. (e.g. ~/App_Data/databases.xml) /// Returns a new instance of the provider's class that represents a connection to the database. /// Returns a new instance of the provider's class that represents a connection to the database. public static DbConnection Connection(HttpContextBase httpContext, string configurationFileName, string connectionName) { Sources.ImportXmlStore(httpContext.Server.MapPath(configurationFileName)); return Connection(connectionName); }

I cannot use using System.Web; using System.Web.Configuration; as these don't exist in 6.0 so would appreciate help on how to convert the following to keep the same functionality.

DbConnection connection = Connection(httpContext, configurat

You could set registry entries to remove the application on a windows startup. you would run your app. set the registry entries (runonce) on restart the runonce would take effect and remove your app during windows startup.

I have a app which places a watermark (text) on an image and saves this back to a file. What I would like to do is lighten a rectangle area behind the text so the text is clearer. Can anyone point me to articles which would show how to lighten an area. I found many which show how to lighten/darken the image (bitmap) but noe for an area.

Thank you for this info. I know what I need to do now.

I want to have a dropdown combo box with a list of font sizes(point size) for the user to select from. The combo box is to be like that used in MS word etc. Is there a way to do this for any c# built in call or should I create the list myself by supplying the values to the combo box. Regards Jeff.

I have this issue with schools who cannot afford a windows 2003 server (the software is free under a M$ agreement). To over come this I use an old PC with a large hard drive and a FreeNAS server (http://sourceforge.net/projects/freenas/). In 30 min you can have server up and running and use PC's and Mac's from the one file server.

I was at a training session yesterday and noticed the developers has placed a small red triangle in the top left corner of a text box to indicate the field was a mandatory field. I thought this would be nice to do in my apps. Does anyone know where I could learn procedure on how to make a custom control like this. Regards Jeff
