If what you want to do is set the name of the column, or set its headertext then you can do this in the way you first suggested.

string columnBaseName = // Your method for getting regkey goes here
for (int i = 1; i < 3; i++)
{
    DataGridViewTextboxColumn newColumn = new DataGridViewTextboxColumn();
    newColumn.Name = columnNameBase + i.ToString();
    newColumn.HeaderText = columnNameBase + i.ToString();
    // Set any other properties for the column here
    this.dataGridView1.Columns.Add(newColumn);
}

Hope this helps. Smile | :)

Or a dictionary...

Dictionary<int, string> getString;

for access using the int value, or

Dictionary<string, string> getString;

for access using a name (e.g. "myName"+i.tostring() )

there is another ways to do that for example :

System.Collections.ArrayList arr = new System.Collections.ArrayList();
           for (int i = 0; i <= 10; i++)
           {
               arr.Add(i);
           }
           Console.WriteLine(arr[3]);

If it's always the same object type that's being put in the array list and you're using 2.0 or above, then better to use a generic list List<T> where T is the type of the object i.e. List<string>.

ArrayList involves unboxing/boxing which isn't a great idea.

How to make a network connection at this case?

Hi there!

I have a client/server program that work properly at the Internet, but with computers that have valid IP. Really I want to make a connection between two computer at the Internet that haven't valid IP, like computers that connect to internet with ISPs, that have a local IP and another IP on Internet (their server IP).
Please see below picture to understand me.
See Here
In the picture, left PC (192.168.20.14) can connect to right ISP (86.110.112.34) easily, but I want to connect to right PC (200.100.114.45). To do this, I think I have to use Port Forwarding technique. Can someone help me please?

Thanks all.

That is the job of router. You must set port forwarding of your router.
For example, just set port TCP:100 to IP 192.168.20.14.

In that case, if you make a connection to 86.110.112.34:100, it will
be forwarded to 192.168.20.14.

"92.124.210.110" <- you don't mention it before.
probably you have a dynamic IP from your ISP.

Can we use pointers or similar in C# ?

I need to use some sort of pointer or other way for a variable to contain the name of another variable, it is a bit difficult to explain but the following (not correct) code will give the idea.

string varName;
string myVar;

myVar = "varName";
&myVar = "Whatever";

Now Variable varName contains "Whatever"

Any ideas or directions ?

Thanks

You're referring to unsafe code. Yes, you can. It's not recommended because of the potential for memory leaks, but it's possible. You wrap the code using pointers in an unsafe block, like so:

unsafe
{
    //Your code goes here
}

Then you have to coerce VS into compiling it. Project properties->Build->Allow unsafe code

Actually re-reading it I see I explained it wrongly.
What I need is an evaluations something like below is often used in scripting languages.

string varName;
string myVar;

myVar = "varName";
eval(myVar) = "Whatever";

Now Variable varName contains "Whatever"

Basically I have an array with 2 columns, 1st column has the variable name and the second has the value.

I do not want to have something like
for(x = 0; x < arrayRows; x++;)
{
if(array[x,0] = "myVar1") {myVar1 = array[x,1]}
if(array[x,0] = "myVar2") {myVar2 = array[x,1]}
..
..
}
I would like something like
for(x = 0; x < arrayRows; x++;)
{
eval(array[x,0]) = array[x,1]}
}

Of course eval does not exist in C#

Any ideas or directions ?

Thanks

As CG said below, you may want to use a class to store these values, using Reflection (namespace System.Reflection) to get their names and get and set their values dynamically

You need to learn some C# basics. You can do this by creating a class to store your variable. And I'm not sure you can do what you want with pointers in C#, C# pointers are pretty limited.

Outlook 2003 VSTO Addin deployment on Windows Vista - Registry and other issues - How to

Hello everybody,

First of all thanks a lot for all of yours' support on forums, blogs and dev networks with the help of which development becomes very easy and motivating.

I've developed an addin for Outlook 2003 using VSTO SE and VS 2005 (C#). By referring to the articles regarding deployment I was able to manage to create its MSI installer from setup and deployment project in the solution. The addin gets properly installed on other machines having Outlook 2003 and works there fine. All the security policies are granted properly as well. I am using SetSecurity project for granting trust to assemblies. For that I had referred to articles
Deploying Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Solutions Using Windows Installer Part 1 & 2 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537173(office.11).aspx) (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa537179.aspx)

Now I want to deploy the same addin for Windows Vista. I am aware of the issues faced due to UAC. The major issue is regarding admin access to installer and need of presence of registry keys in HKLM when UAC is turned off. In my installer project I can add those additional registry keys in Registry view. Now my questions are (finally ...)

1. I want to know whether it is possible to use a single installer for Windows XP and Windows Vista. If yes, how can I determine OS version in my Custom Actions or Launch Conditions?
2. If answer to previous question is positive then are there any changes required in method of granting trust to assemblies For Windows Vista? I've already stated that I'm using modified version of SetSecurity project for that.
3. How can determine in Windows Vista whether the UAC has been turned on or off? How can I set a registry launch condition for that so that I can register additional keys in HKLM hive. I'm anyways going to add keys in HKCU for both XP as well as Vista.
4. How can I add those registry keys if I find that it's Windows Vista and UAC is turned off?

I've read articles. They say all about where to change in the registry of Windows Vista, but not how to change it.

Very precious links.

But word about MSDN links... I was not investigating what registry keys were to be added but where to add them as in which section of VS Setup & Deployment Project by checking the necessary conditions.

Thanks for help though...

Batch Insert Problem with SqlBulkCopy.

Hi i have access db as client db and sql server db as web db. all structures of two database is same except PKs, in sql server PK is uniqueidentifier and in access, PK is Text (with 255 max Length).

in client app i want to send some data from client to web(access to sql) via SqlBulkCopy class, to do this, i use this code to transfer data :

this.personsTableAdapter1.Fill(this.testDataSet1.Persons);

            DataTable dtImported = this.testDataSet1.Persons.Clone();

            // because PK dataType in sql server is uniqueidentifier, hence i convert PK column to guid
            dtImported.Columns["PersonID"].DataType = typeof(Guid);
            foreach (TestDataSet.PersonsRow row in this.testDataSet1.Persons.Rows)
            {                
                Guid g = new Guid(row.PersonID);                
                dtImported.Rows.Add(new object[] { g, row.PersonName }); // Error occur
            }

            System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy bc = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBulkCopy(Properties.Settings.Default.TestSqlConnectionString);
            bc.DestinationTableName = "Persons";
            bc.WriteToServer(dtImported);

but at runTime the following error show me in above line of code:

Cannot set column 'PersonID'. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column.

where does my problem and how to solve it ?
Thanks

Doesn't the error message explain the reason.
The length of the PersonID you specified in the Access and SQL Server are different. Infact, SQL Server has lesser size thn that of in the Access.

yes, hence i change max length from 255 to 16 in DataSet Designer(in visual stduio), but the problem was not solved.

How to install Microsoft.mshtml.dll in GAC

This is the error I was getting while installing a in-process dll (BHO) setup which is made in Vs2005 using c#
"could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.mshtml, version=7.0.3300.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKey=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The System cannot find the file specified."

For this, I googled and found that Microsoft.mshtml should be installed in GAC or should be available in IE installation folder.
I tried the second one, but still the dll doesnot gets injected?
Anyone can suggest something to solve this?
