Cannot run Winforms App away from development PC

I have a major problem with a Winforms project. It uses MySQL, RadGrid and ORM.

It runs perfectly on any of my PCs which have the Development environment installed.

I put the "Release" folder on Windows 7 - and it just says "Windows has developed a problem" and shuts down.

The only error message is in the application event log (see below). All of the references in the project which referred to Telerik were set to "copy to local". I have absolutely no idea how to proceed with resolving it, and apparently nor does Telerik... As you might imagine, I have a lot of very annoyed users...

It says:

Log Name:      Application

Can anyone help?

Tooltabstrip font / Autohide problem

ToolTabStrip Font Problem:
I changed the font style and size in the properties and all seems fine after running the program

But when I set the dock to autohide while it is running and viewed the dockwindow, the font changed

AutoHide Problem:
If I set the dock to autohide in the advanced layout designer, then run the program, the dock is missing

The dock can only be viewed if I minimize the Form then return to it.
My Form's windowstate is set to maximized and I've noticed that the problem occurs if the Dock is set to something other than "None" in the properties.

uneditable GridView when using Linq as source

I fill data in GridView using this Linq code:

    
            var p = dbZ.ZleceniaLinies  
        
            .Select(c => new  
        
            {  
        
            ID = c.idLinii,  
        
            Typ = c.Typ  
        
            });  
        
            radDgvPozyc.DataSource = p;

radDgvPozyc.DataSource = p;

It works very fine and I love Telerik GridView but. Line for adding new record is (I see it) on my form but I can't put data there. And I can't modify any cells because they not editable :(
I checked and RadGridView control is enabled and ReadOnly properties of the cell, column, and control are all set to false.

How set it do Add, Modify and Delete from this DataGrid?

Creating Favovrites menu.

Hi all, First time poster, long time visitor to the forums.

Here is what I would like to do and I am looking for insights on how to do this with Rad Menu controls.

The win app we developed is getting a face lift with Telerik controls. (Yes! finally) We are planning on implementing our menu interface with Rad Menus along with Ribbon controls. I want to implement Favorites menu feature or some other form of "often used menu items" to be grouped together , may be a new ribbon tab??

We have more than 100 screens and most users use only 10 to 15 screen on a day to day basis, so I would like the user to be able to pick and choose which screens they would like to access quickly so they don't have to sift thru menu's or ribbons to get to their most often used screens.

May be create a hidden docked panel to quickly choose the screen and then it would collapse???

We use asp.net security implementation as the underlying authentication and authorization engine. I was thinking of using the asp.net profile management features to save favorite screen/menu items.

I am looking for any kind of input or suggestions on how to implement this.

Thanks.

Best practice in many-to-many relationships?

Hi!

After a quick search I discovered that many-to-many relationships aren't supported in the GridView (using data binding). But, I still need to display such data, and wonder what your recomendations are to accomplish this.

Scenario:
Two classes:
- Concert
- City

The City can host zero or many Concerts, and a Concert man be held in zero or many cities. Class definitions below:

    
                    class Concert  
        
                    {  
        
                        string Name;  
        
                        List<City> Cities;  
        
                    }  
        
                    class City  
        
                    {  
        
                        string Name;  
        
                        List<Concert> Concerts;  
        
                    }

I load the all the Cities into a separate List<City>, and all Concerts into another List<Concert> and via another method I resolve the many-to-many relationships:

    
                    void LoadData()  
        
                    {  
        
                        List<City> AllCities = LoadAllCities(); // Load data from database  
        
                        List<Concert> AllConcerts = LoadAllConcerts(); // Load data from database  
        
                        ResolveRelationships(AllCities, AllConcerts); // Resolve many-to-many relationship  
        
                    }

I have only created ONE object instance per City and ONE object instance per Concert. The ResolveRelationships method just reads a relation-table and populates the City.Concerts and Concert.Cities collections. The City.Concerts and Concert.Cities collections just contain references to the objects originally loaded into AllCities and AllConcerts.

Now I want to display this into a grid. The MasterGridView can contain the Concerts and the ChildGridView can contain the Cities (or vice versa).

What are your recomendations on how to accomplish this? Manually create the grid or use some kind of object datasource?

Thanks in advance,
Johan

Validating Cell Values with color changes

Hi,

I am using a datagrid in which all editable columns are shown in a different color which i am doing on cell formatting , however when data is entered in cells which is invalid i want to change the back color to Red .

Here i want to make sure that user is taken back to cell in which he was doing editing also when the value he has enetred is correct the back color should change back to editable back color.

Also can't we show errortext in cell directly rather then showing it on grid.

Thanks
Anuj

Auto Hide Docking Panel Min Width

Hello

I have a docking manager with 2 panels. one fixed and one auto hide.
When the auto hide panel is activated I want it to open the full width of the docking manager but at the moment it only opens a 1/4 (ish) the way.
I have tried setting the "minimumsize" and the "minsize" and the "size" attribute but none of them seem to make any difference, although I cannot find any documentation on the "minsize" attrib.

Is it possible to do this?

Thanks

Complete Outlook Style with Expand & Collapse style

Hello,
I am searching to reproduce the outlook pane style in my application. In the radcontrols for winforms I found the panelbar which can be used as outlook bar when the group style is set to OutlookNavPane. It's almost like the official outlook bar.
But I didn't see the button wich allows to collapse the panelbar to a minimal state (icons still visible on the left...)

Can you tell me please If the PanelBar control allows that ? I absolutely need this functionnality..

Thank you

Panelbar (obsolete as of Q2 2010)
