Were you asking in the wrong forum before, or are you still hoping to do this in ASP.NET ?

No, he's just hoping that someone will tell him it is possible, he doesn't want to accept the truth

Let's just say that if you changed the drive letter of the System or Boot partitions, either Windows, or any installed apps would no longer work.
Check out the code in this[^] article. Have fun crashing your system!

Hello all
Does anybody know how to access the "Save As Text" in FF programmatically?
Thank you in advance

Firefox is a nightmare when it comes to emulating through programming (I know from experience). I would abandon all hope of using firefox programmatically and look into finding another solution.

Hi
Thanks for your reply...
What was your experience working with FF? Did you get anywhere? Maybe if you could give me some pointers, I could go along that path... even though it is not what you recommend. Right now, this seems to be the only solution I have, unfortunately

The aspect that I was trying to alter was the proxy settings for a network. I tried keyboard emulation by first starting the process with System.Diagnostics.Process class and then sending keystrokes to it through the said class. Mozilla does not work well with this method at all; I could not send text to the address bar and could not navigate between windows/frames. To get around this I had to find the configuration file where everything is stored which is located in a particular place for a profile.

I'm a senior at Montour High School and we have to do projects in order to graduate. My project is to create a phone book and have it store contact information. Ive been contemplating different ways of doing this and i tried using strict txt files but thats very insecure. So my question is how do i go about using or creating a database to store this information (all in all there are aprox. 16 fields)
i know how to get the information from the fields and i know how to set he information in the fields. if more information is needed please ask.
Thanks

You can use MS-Access as the database engine to store the data and write the application in Visual Basic to access the data.

Ask your instructor if there are any limitations. Sometimes the DB is dictated/limited by the instructor.
Any suggestions, ideas, or 'constructive criticism' are always welcome.

You can use SQL Express, its free and much better than Access.

I second that. There are times I wish Access would be a legacy product...

Same here, and I am sure eventually (hopefully soon), it will truly be a legacy system people will steer away from

Better in what sense?
For developers/programmers SQL Server is, more often than not, a better solution.
For someone like the secretary to the local cricket (or baseball) club Access is a good solution. It's completely self-contained i.e provides forms, reports, easy set up of tables and relationships and you don't need to develop a WinForms front-end.
What more could you want if you are not a developer?
I once heard a developer loudly pontificating on databases to the effect that if it isn't Oracle it's not a real database. Can you imagine a local club investing in Oracle to keep member details for a couple of hundred people?

Thats the sort of people who are probably using this forum.
I agree, its horses for courses and Access is ideal for the local cricket club, but in the corporate world it should be regarded as a sub-optimal solution for many reasons.

Yes it is 'horses for courses' but even in the corporate world there's still a role for Access.
I did some work for a Fund Management company in the City where they had an expensive portfolio management and accounting package. Unfortunately it could not generate reports that were suitable for clients. So I got it to dump the appropriate data out to CSV files, imported them into Access and created the reports. I could have done this using VB, and perhaps Chrystal Reports, but Access was the optimal solution in this case.
By the way I wouldn't advocate using Access to run an enterprise, I just think it's something that can be brought into the mix.

To be honest, a database is no more insecure than text files. I'd ask the teacher first if they have constraints on what they will let you use, otherwise I would consider Access or XML. I would leave out SQL Express only because of deployment issues, having to set up a DB instance on another machine for marking, etc.

In my VB.net Programme I generate a PDF using crystal report which retrieves data from database containing about 700 to 1000 pages. Each page contain so many amount of fields, so takes 2 or 3 minutes depending upon machine. So I like add a progressBar .But how to develop it. Please anybody me to design he code.

hi,
you dont need to develop one, it comes in the tool box within vs.
drop the control onto your form as you would for any other control.
here's what i set on the controls properties...
Maximum - The total number of pages you have.
Minimum - should be zero
use the step property to increment the progress bar until it the output...
alt,
you can set the pbar as a marquee which runs continuosly until you stop/hide it...
hope this helps

The only progress bar you can use to do this is one that doesn't progress. I mean you can show one that constantly scrolls.
You cannot use a 0 to 100% progress bar because Crystal Reports, last I checked, does not expose any progress information. So, there's no way of knowing how far along it's gotten.
