Useing firefox in c# windows form project

I am a c# programmer. I'm going to write a program that sometimes, needs to provide a small web browser for user. I used webBrowser component before, but it uses Internet Explorer engine and both of them sucks. I'm always using Firefox for web browsing and personally, I can't work with internet explorer. Is there any way for me to add firefox in my program?! please contact me if you need more information.
thanks

A very long time ago, in the days of Firefox 1.5, someone created a COM object that you could use in place of the IE objects. However, that was not maintained. Instead, there was a very complex set of procedures to use the Gecko rendering engine in other projects, and last year, support for that was phased out ([https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.embedding/c_NMcO-N8wo/discussion Smedberg 3/28/2011]).
Today, you can build a Gecko-based application by using XULRunner. However, this is not a drop-in replacement for the IE controls. You can read more about it here: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XULRunner].
As another alternative, some have commented that it is possible to embed Webkit (the rendering engine in Safari and Chrome), but I haven't researched that.

Why do I get a MissingManifestResourceException when I try to use an MFC Control Wrapper in a Windows Forms Project with Measurement Studio 7.0?

I can use the .NET Windows Forms Controls without problems, but when I try to add an MFC control, everything appears to work fine until runtime. The program throws the aforementioned exception claiming that the resources haven't been added to the compiled project. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

That is correct that you will need to create an interop wrapper for the 3D graph ActiveX control if you want to use the 3D graph in a Windows Forms project. However, data types like CNiReal64Vector are only in the C++ interfaces and are not in the ActiveX interface, hence you can use normal .NET data types and will not need to create the C++ data types. The interop wrapper will convert the .NET data types to the expected ActiveX data types and will pass those data types on to the ActiveX control. For example, here is a C# example that demonstrates how to plot a dual sine surface on the interop wrapper of the 3D graph:
const int size = 40;
double[] xData = new double[size];
double[] yData = new double[size];
double[,] z
Data = new double[size, size];
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
xData[i] = yData[i] = ((i - 20.0) / 20.0) * Math.PI;
for (int i = 0; i < size; ++i)
for (int j = 0; j < size; ++j)
zData[j, i] = Math.Sin(xData[i]) * Math.Cos(yData[j]) + 2.0;
graph3D.Plot3DSurface(xData, yData, zData, Type.Missing);

How do I fix redirects when using Firefox 30? Windows 8.1.

I get redirected and/or pop ups while using Firefox 30 with Windows 8.1. It began immediately with the downloading of said Windows 8.1, so I think it came with that download, and although I have run deep scans and even a pre-boot scan with Avast, plus a scan with IObit Anti Malware, I still get redirects and/or pop ups.
It is an intelligent redirect (context sensitive), but tries to get money from you. For example, I had tried to stop the pop ups [redirects, perhaps] with the pop up blocker likely built into Firefox, but Firefox Help led me instead to an 800 # that offered to connect remotely and fix my PC with Certified Techs as you will see in the chat below. It appeared to be a function of Firefox, not a redirect.
Just after the chat with the 800 outfit I opened FireFox and it went to the (default) url: start.mysearchdial.com/ and a string of more hash, which is possibly how the popups get propagated?
I went to mozilla via url and soon got encouraged to download new version, saying current one out of date. But it was going to download from: http://downloadsoftware.pw/download/firefox2/
So it is not only very intelligent, it is also resistant to a lot of software removal tools.
What might you suggest? I have not tried many of those tools yet.

MySearchDial should have an entry in the Windows Control Panel, but possibly also have its hooks into all your browsers.
Checking and cleaning that will take a few steps. I suggest starting here:
Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
Then, in Firefox, open the '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Finally, you can "mop up" remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Are you able to rid yourself of it?

My current version of Chrome is having problems, too! It's so annoying. Anyone have any suggestions now? I basically can't view or download any PDFs because of this.
Does anyone else think this is a problem not only with Adobe? I would think Apple would have something to do with this? Wouldn't they get some idea from the developer versions that no browser can open PDFs while running Lion!? Pretty bad customer service on the part of a company that prides itself on being VERY customer-friendly. Wouldn't you say?

How can i change the class in the Class Library project to be static or public so i can use it from the windows application project ?

First i know that when i make any changes to the class library project i need to rebuild the project then to remove the Capture.dll from the TestScreenshot project and then to add again the updated Capture.dll
The problem for example in this case i'm trying to use a public static variable i add in the DXHookD3D9.
In the DXHookD3D9 i added this public static variable:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
//using SlimDX.Direct3D9;
using EasyHook;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading;
using System.Drawing;
using Capture.Interface;
using SharpDX.Direct3D9;
namespace Capture.Hook
internal class DXHookD3D9: BaseDXHook
public DXHookD3D9(CaptureInterface ssInterface)
: base(ssInterface)
LocalHook Direct3DDevice_EndSceneHook = null;
LocalHook Direct3DDevice_ResetHook = null;
LocalHook Direct3DDevice_PresentHook = null;
LocalHook Direct3DDeviceEx_PresentExHook = null;
object _lockRenderTarget = new object();
Surface _renderTarget;
public static decimal framesperhourtodisplay = 0;
protected override string HookName
get
return "DXHookD3D9";
List<IntPtr> id3dDeviceFunctionAddresses = new List<IntPtr>(
framesperhourtodisplay
The problem is i can't even get to the Capture.Hook namespace and not to the DXHookD3D9 from the TestScreenshot application window project.
This is a screenshot:
For example fro the FramesPerSecond class i can use it get to it from the windows forms application.
namespace Capture.Hook
/// <summary>
/// Used to determine the FPS
/// </summary>
public class FramesPerSecond
int _frames = 0;
int _lastTickCount = 0;
float _lastFrameRate = 0;
Since it's public i guess.
But if i will change the DXHookD3D9 class from internal to public:
public class DXHookD3D9: BaseDXHook
I will get error on the DXHookD3D9:
Error 1
Inconsistent accessibility: base class 'Capture.Hook.BaseDXHook' is less accessible than class 'Capture.Hook.DXHookD3D9'
And the BaseDXHook class:
namespace Capture.Hook
internal abstract class BaseDXHook: IDXHook
protected readonly ClientCaptureInterfaceEventProxy InterfaceEventProxy = new ClientCaptureInterfaceEventProxy();
public BaseDXHook(CaptureInterface ssInterface)
this.Interface = ssInterface;
this.Timer = new Stopwatch();
this.Timer.Start();
this.FPS = new FramesPerSecond();
Interface.ScreenshotRequested += InterfaceEventProxy.ScreenshotRequestedProxyHandler;
Interface.DisplayText += InterfaceEventProxy.DisplayTextProxyHandler;
InterfaceEventProxy.ScreenshotRequested += new ScreenshotRequestedEvent(InterfaceEventProxy_ScreenshotRequested);
InterfaceEventProxy.DisplayText += new DisplayTextEvent(InterfaceEventProxy_DisplayText);
~BaseDXHook()
Dispose(false);
How can i solve it so i can use the variable framesperhourtodisplay in the DXHookD3D9 class with the TestScreenshot windows forms application ?

Hi,
I dont know if it will work here, since I dont know the complete structure, but the base call must be public, if the derived class is public, so the base class is at least as accessible as the derived class.
Try make the base class public. (And maybe the base-class IDXHook of the base also...)
Or use a different approach and make only the properties public that are needed to be public by adding an extra class...
A structure could look like:(you need to create a class thats public in your dll and expose a property, and set this property in the internal class...)
In the Accessing class (here Form1)
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
C c = new C();
MessageBox.Show(B.F.ToString());
and in the class Lib:
internal class A
public A()
B.F = DateTime.Now.Millisecond;
public class B
public static int F { get; set; }
public class C
public C()
A a = new A();
(add a referenc to the class lib from the accessing project)

Thorsten

Release Management for Visual Studio & Windows Forms Projects

Is Microsoft's new Release Management (RM) tool a viable option for Windows Forms applications that utilize ClickOnce for installation?
It seems all of the examples I have seen for RM center around web based applications. I intend to have TFS build the application, RM pick up the bits from a drop location and create 5 unique ClickOnce installers (using PowerShell & Mage.exe). Initially,
each of the 5 unique ClickOnce installers would differ only in app.config files. I though RM would be a nice fit since I can let it handle customizing the app.config for each of the 5 installers.

Hi BWKDev,
Thanks for your post.
If you can deploy your project using PowerShell script, I think
you can create the release template to copy your build output(include deploy PS script file) to deployment agent machine, and execute the deploy PS script using PS script execute component to deploy your project.

I'm using Firefox on a Windows 7 OS, and I want to know how to disable the small window that appears when I hover my mouse over a tab, bookmark, etc.

Okay, so when I'm using Firefox, say I have multiple window open, I hover my mouse over a window's panel at the bottom of the screen and a small box appears telling me about the webpage on that panel. The same thing occurs when I hover over a tab or a bookmark, it's very annoying and frequently blocks my cursor when I'm trying to work. How can I disable this feature?

I do not use Adobe Reader, but use Foxit Reader in its place, and had the same problem. In Foxit Reader, I right-clicked in the area at the top where you would expect the toolbar to be (it was a blank area immediately above the displayed PDF file), and chose which toolbars to display and that has "stuck" and I still see the Foxit toolbars when I load a PDF file after system shutdown overnight. The only problem is that the area where you would expect the toolbars is still there and blank, but the toolbars that I selected appear immediately below that blank area. See if that works in Adobe Reader for you.

Using firefox 30 in windows 7 i get a blank page when restarting if i only have one tab open when i close.

I have my options set for firefox to "open windows and tabs from last time", but anytime I have only one tab left open, I get a blank page. If I have multiple tabs, then it opens with the tab and windows.
I am running Windows 7 professional and Firefox 30. Thank you for any assistance you may offer.

Please check your settings.
Press the '''Alt''' or '''F10''' key to bring up the tool bar.
Followed by;
Windows; '''Tools > Options'''
Linux; '''Edit > Preferences'''
Mac; ''application name'' '''> Preferences'''
Then '''General.'''
There are two settings;
* '''When Firefox Starts'''
When the browser is started, what page do you want to
display. Many of us choose '''Show My Home Page.'''
* '''Home Page'''
When a new page is opened, what do you want displayed.
# '''Use Current Page'''. Use what ever page(s) are open at that time.
# '''Use Bookmark'''
# '''Restore To Default.''' about:home shows a Mozilla page with tools.
You can use any of these that you wish;
'''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
'''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
'''about:blank''' (a blank page),
or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: ''page''''' you want.

When using Firefox, a new window to the Firfox support page opens at random intervals.

When using Firefox for normal web browsing, a new window to the Firefox support home page opens at random intervals. This occurrence can happen at odd intervals, from a few minutes, to hours apart. There does not appear to be any correlation as to which sites I'm visiting. I am not aware of touching any keyboard key (other than using the mouse) and this new Firefox support window pop-up seems to happen completely randomly. It happens about 10 times a day and is very annoying.

I have this problem as well, when ever I open Firefox. This has been going on for 2-3 days, and I simply select 'skip' and it goes away.
What is more bothersome is that now I am unable to organize my bookmarks, they no longer show up when I click on 'Organize Bookmarks'. My bookmarks still show up in the 'bookmarks' toolbar however.
I wonder if these two glitches are related?

Using Firefox 5 in Windows 7, once I have Firefox open, I can no longer open a new window using the start button. How do I fix?

As I stated, I have Windows 7 on my laptop and have installed Firefox 5. I sometimes like to have multiple windows of the browser open. But, unlike any previous version of Firefox, now when I have the browser open, when I try to open a new window using the Start menu, it will not open one. I have to use Ctrl+N. Why did this change?
This may seem insignificant but it really hampers my work flow. For one, with other applications, Shift+N is what opens a new window. For two, I've been doing with with my browsers for years now and it's like second nature for me - having to remember that in Firefox it's Ctrl+N is a pain in my tuccus.
Firefox is my go to browser and I would like it to stay that way. Please find the solution for me! I have tried looking using Tools, Options, as well as looking at my start menu and taskbar options, and no dice.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

I use firefox 16 on windows 7 with Xmarks and now all my bookmarks are gone.

I recently began using Xmarks with Firefox 16 on a Windows 7 platform. I got some sort of an error message (I think from Xmarks) regarding "Bookmarks". I clicked on the message to fix the problem and zapp all my bookmarks were gone. I found my "bookmarksbackup" profile file. but can't get it to open. I suppose that I need a JSON viewer. I downloaded a opensource viewer that looked good, but still don't get anything that remotely resembles my old bookmarks. I thought that I might be the victim of a virus, but I'm probably just the victim of my own ignorance.

hello pianonanda65, please refer to [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]

Using Firefox 7 in Windows 7, however, when hovering over task bar the icon reveals Firefox 4 beta 12. Is there a fix, please?

When hovering over the Firefox icon in the task bar on a blank desktop in Windows 7, the wrong version is revealed.

Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

I would like to use firefox to access two different yahoo email accounts at the same time. I am using Firefox 4 with Windows 7 Home Premium. Can you help?

This might be solved using two sessions. How do I do that?

You should be able to do this by using the Multifox add-on - http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/

'image not available' when viewing ebay auctions. I can view auctions if I go through Windows Explorer. Using Firefox 3.6 & Windows XP. Please assume that I know Jack and at the same time that I don't know Jack when it comes to computers

I can't see any auction photos. Please be specific in any paths that I need to take to fix, like the LOCATION of each step of the way. Thanks

Even though the "option Load Images Automatically was checked, I had to uncheck and save the choice then go back and check it again before I could see eBay images.

I need a list of libraries used in C# Windows Forms technology.

Windows Forms is a technology to make apps for Windows.
It uses only a part of .Net Framework.
I need a list of what it uses.
I am talking about Windows Forms technology, not Windows.Forms namespace.
I don't need .Net Framework Class Library, i need only what Windows Forms uses.
Thank you.

> here are a few other namespaces that Windows Forms relies on
It is not a few, there are lots of those it relies on.
I need a list of namespaces that it relies on.
I repeat, i open a new Windows Forms project, i should know names of references to add them, right?
It uses a part of .Net Framework, and it doesn't use only System.Windows.Forms namespace, it uses others
too.
I repeat, i must know names of references to add them.
How can i do it?
It is a simple question.
