can anybody say me why the error occured while using System.Drawing.Printing

What was the error and where did it occur?

One possible problem you have is your paper size (5/3). Size is given in hundredths of an inch, so that would be quite small paper size.

Although the links are vb related, .Net framework is the same so see the following links:
- http://vbcity.com/forums/topic.asp?tid=134162[^]
- http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=6718&lngWId=10[^]

I think they key is that you set:

ps.PaperName = PaperKind.Custom

ps.Kind = PaperKind.Custom

You can either use the Convert object

string myDateString = Convert.ToString(myDateTimeObject);

or you can use

string myDateStr = myDateTimeObject.ToString("yyyyMMdd");

or you can use

Hey Guys
I have a pictureBox which gets its Image from the Resources file. And I have a label where I want to display the name of the Image (which is a .jpg Image). How do I get the name of the Image from the Image file without the .jpg extension.
I want the lblInfo to display Cow in this case.

pictureBox1.Image = Resources.Cow; //jpg image Cow.jpg
// lblInfo.Text =

Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension() method needs a string. And the file which I have included in the Resources file is an Image. How do I give Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension() a string.
I have included the file in the Resources.resx file.

How can you get an Image Location from an Image object. If that makes it simpler.

its not possible to get the name from an Image object. You have to code for this. Something like

pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromFile("ImagePath");
pictureBox1.Tag = "ImagePath";

now whenever you need the path, just parse the Tag property of PB.

In your situation, you may use this

Application.StartupPath + "\\Cow.jpg";

noway to get the path from an Image object AFAIK

be polite, always remember that any word in your message wont angry the other members who have answers and avoid to reply because of your words.

if you want to make skin in C# then you will need lots of panels/pictureboxes, you must learn how to dock panels and grab/make controls images, inherits classes and many more. If you are new to this then you have to learn too much before start...

Also try this one from Apress:

I would highly recommend any books by Dino Esposito. He has been writting some great ASP.Net books for years now, and also speaks at all the major Microsoft events.

Most of code in his ASP.Net books is written in C#.

I would also recommend visiting: http://www.asp.net/learn/[^]

There are a lot of good references and videos there to get you started.

"This program might require administrator privileges"

For some reason my C# app occasionally causes Vista to put up a notice after the app exists that says "This program might require administrator privileges. If this program did not run correctly, try running the program as an administrator."

My app runs fine, and should not require admin. What might I be doing wrong to cause Vista to put up this notice?

Thanks!

The last time I counted there were roughly 3,167,849 reasons that Vista might exhibit this behaviour.
Without knowing, at the very least, what your app does, it is almost impossible to help you.

However questions that immediately come to mind are:
Do you do anything in the FormClosed or FormClosing events?
Does your app try to clean up after itself, e.g. delete temp files or whatever?
