Has anyone had any experience of implementing WMI classes using C#? I've just come across the variety of Window packages that help to develop an admin user interface. But most of the tools provided (WMI/MMC snap-ins) have all recommend using C++/COM and none is found in C#/.NET. My goal is to develop an user interface running on SNMP...

We are building an C# app that needs to be a COM server so all the assemblies need strong naming. The app builds fine but I get this exception when it runs: "Additional information: The located assembly's manifest definition with name 'TempEditor' does not match the assembly reference." It seems to be the only assembly that gets the...

I'm getting a weird error with IndexOf. It only occurs if the substring length is 1. "aaa".IndexOf("a") for example should return 0 , ie, it should find the first "a" in "aaa". Instead, it return 2, the last "a". This error does not occur in "aaaa".IndexOf("aa")

You could create a static class for the connection with static properties for the connection object itself and all of the associated properties. Just be aware that only one object can use a connection at one time. As far as the namespace, it depends on whether you will want to reuse this class for other apps. The normal naming convention...

I have written some code that causes mouseover effects on a picture box. The code works fine most of the time and creates some really nice effects. HOWEVER, If i try, i can get the effects to not disappear (as if the MouseLeave event isn't firing) or i can get the effects to not appear in the first place (as if the MouseEnter/MouseMove...

But i need to get the text inside the label to change fontsize based on the size of the label. I know it is possible (with the autosize property) to have the label...

I have a Collection that inherits from CollectionBase and Implements IBindingList which I have bound to a DataGrid. So far everything works fine. However, I am missing one piece to the IBindingList that I haven't figured out yet, how to determine which DataGrid column header I clicked on so I can do a custom sort. Right now the sort is...

No, there isn't. You would think that there was since it's integrated with XP, but I imagine WinZip wouldn't like it too much (they wrote the integration with XP). I ended up using a product from Xceed. It works pretty well, but it's not free either. >-----Original Message----- >does anyone know how to unzip a zip file in c#? Is there...

Please first read below ---- Its correct that I'm debugging and using VS.NET 2002 with .net ver 1.0 - If I run a release version in 2002 or run it under VS.NET 2003 with .net ver 1.1 there is no problem. Is it VS.NET or the version of .Net that is the problem. Are there any service packs to solve the problem for VS.NET 2002.?

I want to find a particular character in a string, and then find the length of the string after this point in the string, so that I can do a rightpad on it if it is of a certain length (basically I want to pad a monetary value if it is for example 12.5, so that it becomes 12.50). I can think of a long winded way to do it by using a foreach...

In C# code, I would like to bind a column in a typed data set row to an edit box (or other control) without having to use a string literal for the column name. For example, the following works: TypedDataSet.TableRow row; editBox.DataBindings.Add("EditValue", row, "col_name"); However, the above is not type safe and I cannot use...
