I understand. I'm new to the developer forums, so I'm just figuring out how things work.
I've seen your posts, and I'm impressed with your knowledge. I hope my etiquette has not been rude or inappropriate.
I just wanna be friends.

I am working in MDI environment. The problem is on click on MDI close box. I am asking user. "if he is sure to close the application " yes or no.. now the child forms which are open also triggers the closing event even before the MDI closing event no matter user say "he dont want to close the application ". So the code on the closing of child executes which I dont want to execute until unless it is really closing.
Note: Child form does not close if user selected to continue with app. but code on closing is executed.

Assuming you are working with Visual Studio 2005, have you looked at the value of the CloseReason property in the MDI childrens FormClosing events? Maybe if the value is MDIFormClosing or FormOwnerClosing you can have conditional code to skip the FormClosing event code unless you know the MDI form has really closed (via some flag).

You mean how can you read a text file ? Notepad has nothing to do with it, it's just a program that reads text file. System.IO.File.ReadAllText is the easiest way to read a file.

i send message from vb.net to another application .. the send operation is done successfully but the problem is some times the message change by adding a character or repeat character such as if :
dim s as string ="42945:dn"
send.sendwait(s)
the message will print as 42945:dn but some time will print in the another application 442945:dn and some time 442294::dn really i dont know why ...
some friend advice me to use Trim function but i dont know if it will do as i want or no...
please this is the 15 time that i ask you to help me and give me the function that keep the string as i defined it before send it to another application but unfortunatlly no answer ..
keep me in ur mind.

This is absolutely the LAST time I'm going to say this. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CODE!! You're using SendKeys to send this data to another application, which is notoriously unreliable! The value of the variable is NOT changing when you call SendKeys. The problem is that your destination application isn't cooperating with SendKeys! Is there anything you can do about it?? Short of seeing if you can get an updated version of the target application, no, there isn't...

BUT THIS PROBLEM WILL BE ALSO IF THE DESTINATION IS NOTEPAD PLEASE TRY TO USE SEND() FUNCTION BETWEEN MINIMIZE AND MIXIMIZE THE WINDOW THEN YOU WILL FIND SOME THING BUFFER OR SOME THING CHANGE LESS OR MORE CHARACTER WILL ADDED TO THE ROOT STRING ... SO THE PROBLEM NOT THE DISTINATION BECAUSE I USE THE FUNCTION IN MANY TARGET APPILCATION ...
I THINK THE PROBLEM IS THE DELAIY .. I NEED TO KNOW HOW I CAN DELAIY THE FORM WHEN I MINIZE IT .. THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE TO USE IT ...BECAUSE THE PROBLEM THAT IT PRINTS ALL STRING IN SMALL PERIOD LESS THAN 1 SECOND

If you can't send keys to Notepad properly, I'd say you have a problem with your system. notepad is nothing but a glorified TextBox control.
During this entire time, you never once mentioned WHY your trying to control another application and even WHAT that application is. I've already said that you have to look for other methods that are reliable, like an SDK or COM component for that application. Now, you've just about run out of time to look...

There is no level on which you can send one number and recieve another. It's got to be the way in which the number is being handled in code. What's send ? Are you using WM_COPYDATA to send stuff between applications ? If not, what are you using ?

As you may have noticed by the discussion that happened around this question, what you're doing is just plain terrible. It's just not the right way to go. You have options that are sensible, mainly the ones I listed when I asked. You never answered, BTW, without Dave's comment I'd be even less able to help you. The best help I can offer is to scrap what you're doing, and do it properly.

Hi,
In my application I have a form with some comboboxes on it. These comboboxes are all bound to different datasets. When the form shows, I can select a different index in the combobox, the text is adjusted as expected. To here, I encounter no problems.
In some cases, when the form is loaded, I want to select a value in the combobox that I obtained by accessing my database.
Example of my code:
cboIncidentType.SelectedValue = curIncident.IncidentErrorType
Now, for some reason, the selectedValue is not set to what I define in my code, but to the first index in the combobox.
Can someone tell me what the problem is?
Thanks!

This depends on when this code is being called. If you're doing this at the beginning of the Form_Load event, the ComboBoxes haven't been filled yet...

The comboboxes are filled before the selectedValue is set.
When selectedIndex 0 is returned, the datafield (text) of index 0 is shown, only it is not the index I tried to set.

I have icluded an SQL database file in my application and it now uses sqlexpress to attach that and use that file. It workes good but now I have to deploy sqlexpress 2005 with my application and it requires SP2 for Windows XP. Is there any other way I can use this SQL file without forcing all the customers to install SP2?
Any help is good because I'm desperate.

Nope. It's the minimum system requirement for 2005. An older version MSDE, like MSDE 2000, on the other hand, doesn't require SP2. This will, of course, depend on your applications requirements.

If MSDE 2000 can handle connection string below then you have solved my problem:
Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ptcdb.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True
But then I have one more question  How can I add it in my prerequisites list in vs 2005?
