Defining methods for a class that are accessible when declaring arrays of that class? (8 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Hello, this may seem a strange question, but is there a way of being able to call methods of a class through an array of that class when not referencing a specific object in the array. In other words, defined a class class A I'd like to be able to do the following: // defining an array of class A objects class A myArray[] new class A[10]; // calling MyMethod on the array myArray.MyMethod(); where ...

I integrated the application with the .NET Application Updater Component (http://windowsforms.net/articles/appupdater.aspx) to copy automaticly new versions of the application to the clients.

New MSIL Newsgroup (7 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Microsoft, Can I make a request for a newsgroup specific to MSIL? I have taken great interest in MSIL and have done a lot of reading into MSIL, and written, compiled and tested with success a few il programs. I'm sure this is a topic of interest to many people, as it is at the heart of .Net. If any of you readers/posters are also interested in an intermediate language specific newsgroup, please re...

Use DreamWeaver AND VS.NET? (6 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Hi, I've been using Visual Studio.NET for a while to design WinForms and Console apps and love it. Recently I had to a WebForms app. Because I have no artistic skill whatsoever, I enlisted the help of one of our web designers. She's a DreamWeaver expert, but I insisted that she use Visual Studio because I was under the mistaken impression that DW doesn't support WebForms, Visual Source Safe, and t...

Difference between using service and console application (2 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
We have a multi tier application using .net remoting. In server side, I can use either service and console application to process client request. I sometimes can not find the problem with the service. However, I can use the console to see what's wrong. Can anyone tell me the difference between the service and console application in the serve site (application server)? I mean when to use which and ...
Website deployment (3 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Hi group, (sorry if deployment is not the right term for what I mean). I develop a website at my desk, testing it with my own IIS on my own box. Then when a new feature is ready for release, I have to copy the modified files to the 'real' website. That is, I copy the DLL in /bin, and any .aspx or .ascx I changed. I don't want to put there my .cs nor .resx Now, when I change a lot of .aspx files, t...
Multiple Instances of Windows Services (2 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Is there any way to install multiple instances of the same windows service designed with VS.NET 2003? I tried copying the binaries into a separate folder and then copying registry entries for the original service under a new name but the SCM complains that the executable does not have this service implemented. Please note that I need to have distinct instances of executables installed not merely m...
VS.NET: Edit "recent files" list (6 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
I hope this is the right NG, please notify me if not. I have got a problem with the "recent files" list of the start page in VS.NET: yesterday I created a new projekt which has the same name as an already existing project stored at another location. Unfortunately, VS.NET doesn't seem to support double names in the "recent files" list: only /one/ entry with the double name is listed and even more u...
Parsing phone numbers (5 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
I'm curious if there are others who have a better method of accepting/parsing phone numbers. I've used a couple of different techniques that are functional but I can't really say that I'm totally happy with either. 1. My first technique was to restrict the users to entries that could only be 3 character, 3 characters, 4 character (area code, prefix, suffix, respectively). I would null out any inpu...
Looking for Classes (3 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
I hope this is an appropriate group for this question? I work with a non profit group that uses SQL Server 2000 for their data backend. They have a moderate size web site with many data driven web pages (ASP at the moment but looking to move to ASP.NET). They also have several custom written Windows applications (VB) that access the database. The people that manage the business have no IT backgrou...
Creating Excel with asp.net (6 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Hello, I've written an asp.net application that creates Excel documents. It works by creating an excel document in XML format. But I wonder if I'm reinventing the wheel. I know that there are ways to read and write Excel files with ADO, but as far as I can tell, it doesn't provide the flexibility I need. I need to be able to generate tabs, cell formatting, formulas, etc. Is there a better way to d...
session expiring randomly (2 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Hi, I have an asp.net app. The session state is set to expire in 20 minutes in web.config, but my sessions seem to timeout randomly even though I interact with the application regularly, which is supposed to reset the expiration time I believe. Is there a specific way that you have to start a session or interact with it in order to keep your session current? Thanks, Christine

Do you work with pages that have different 'modes' ? (2 replies)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
I would like to know, how many people when designing asp.net apps, break down pages into components (user controls) and use them repeatedly in different panels etc. We tend to make parts of a page visible/invisible using a property or method in the codebehind and then make one page seem like it's actually a number of differnet (but similar) pages, when different page functionality would usually co...
Hashtable Key Limit (3 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Is there a limit to the size of a key for a Hashtable. I am adding items to a hashtable using a string for the key and it seems that when my key is 16 characters long the indexer does not work properly. If I truncate the key to be 12 characters the indexer works. Also is there a better way to build a key for a string, should I convert the string to a numeric value then add it? and if so how do I g...
Interpreting a JAR-file in .NET (7 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Hi, I'm writing a C#.NET app that needs to extract some files that are packaged as a JAR file. I'd like to avoid having to install java on the (client) machine. Therefore, I'm wondering: have any of you done this? How did you do it? Sadly, SharpLibZip doesn't seem to support the JAR format. Is there any other (free) library that can be used? Thanks, Einar "If it was so, it might be; and if it were...

microsoft.public.dotnet.general

Access hardware directly via C#? (5 replies, VIP)
microsoft.public.dotnet.general
Greetings my dear friend, Let's say I wanted to write an application that talks directly to a network card. For example, say I'm designing a firewall or packet sniffer. Do I need to use unmanaged code to do this? I'm wondering how I should arrange the "division of labor" between managed and unmanaged code. Let's make the example even simpler by saying that I want to design a form with a button on ...
