Hey, no problem. I had fun playing with Editex and showing it to my geek friends.

Thank you for the leads on the other papers, too. I really enjoy information retrieval as a hobby/research area.

If I can help you with anything else, just post! I lurk about the boards quite often....

Path to default files called by program

Hi:

I've been developing a program that loads a file for default settings which I have placed for now in the bin\debug folder under the project that uses it. This works fine for development, but I want to make a release kit for other users.

I have made a 'Setup wizard' project and have included the default settings file to be loaded into the Application folder.

My question is, what path do I hardcode into the default settings loading call?

I tried just using the file name in this call and the release executable goes to the Documents And Settings\userid\ folder to look for defaults file - and of course complains when it does not find it there. I'd like to avoid hardcoding the path to the application folder since at installation time the users have discretion to install to any folder of their choice.

Please give me your suggestions.

Thanks, Sam

Connect to a password protected database

I am trying to connect to a password protected database. I am using the "Configure Data Adapter Wizard". I can connect to the database when there is not a password set. When I set a database password I get the following error when I try to configure the adapter.

"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Not a valid password."

I have tried unchecking the "Blank Password" checkbox and entering in my password in the password box but then I get this error.

"Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Cannot start your application. The workgroup information file is missing or opened exclusively by another user."

What type of datebase are you using? Access?

When you connect to a password protected Access database, you have to supply the user name also. The user name is Admin.

MouseMove and MouseUp

Hi,
I have a datagrid and a datatable, and use the MouseMove event to bring up a tooltip. But now when I click on the cell, the MouseUp event doesn't fire. What can I do about this?

Re: MouseMove and MouseUp

I just realized that it works under certain conditions. Here is what I have under MouseMove:

DataGrid.HitTestInfo hitInfo = dg.HitTest(new Point(e.X, e.Y));<br />
if (hitInfo.Row < tCat.Rows.Count && hitInfo.Row > -1)<br />
{<br />
	if (hitInfo.Column == 1)<br />
{<br />
dg.CurrentCell = new DataGridCell(hitInfo.Row,hitInfo.Column);<br />
DataGridCell dc = dg.CurrentCell;<br />
string txt = dg[dc].ToString();<br />
<br />
if (txt.Length > 10)<br />
{<br />
tt.AutoPopDelay = 3000;<br />
tt.InitialDelay = 2000;<br />
tt.ReshowDelay = 3000;<br />
tt.SetToolTip(dg, txt);<br />
tt.Active = true; 				<br />
}<br />
else {tt.Active = false;}<br />
}<br />
else {tt.Active = false;}<br />
}

If I'm not in column one, the MouseUp works. But in column one, it doesn't, regardless of whether the tooltip is active or not.
Now I'm really confused. Sniff | :^)

Thanks,
Mel

I'm unclear about what your question is. Are you having problems with the MouseUp event when you are in Column 1? If so I don't see anything in your code that strikes me as bad but it's almost certainly this code. Try commenting out the code and trying again to verify this is the code at fault.

Write WebForm Variables to MS Word

Is it possible to write form variables to Word file variables in C#. I know this can be done in Windows Forms, but I would like to do it in a WebForm. Any help would be appreciated.

What are word file variable? Do you want to write it to Microsoft Word or is it something else.

This is a template app.

I will have about 10 Word Files. Templates if you want to call them that. They will have embedded html controls(mainly textboxes).

The user will fill out the WebForm. When they are finished filling out the form, they will hit a create doc button which will trigger an event to open up the word file template with the variables from their form populating the corresponding variables in the Word File. They can then save the file on their desktop with evrything filled in.

So yes, in a nutshell, I want to take my form variable and write/populate it in the MS Word File. Hope that makes sense.

Thanks for your response.

Hey,
I found this code snippet:

int numlabels = 5;<br />
int x = 8;<br />
int y = 8;<br />
int width = 80;<br />
int height = 16;<br />
int end = 2;<br />
<br />
Label[] LabelsI;<br />
<br />
this.SuspendLayout();<br />
for(int i = 0; i < numlabels; ++i )<br />
{<br />
	LabelsI[i] = new Label();<br />
	LabelsI[i].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Beige;<br />
	LabelsI[i].Size = new System.Drawing.Size(width, height);<br />
	LabelsI[i].Location = new System.Drawing.Point(x, y);<br />
	this.Controls.Add(LabelsI[i]);<br />
<br />
	x = x + (width + end);<br />
}<br />
this.ResumeLayout(true);

But when I try to use it, it comes with this error D'Oh! | :doh:

Use of unassigned local variable 'LabelsI'(CS0165)

Could someone please help me with this...

Thanks,

SqlDataAdapter problem with a strong typed DataSet.

I tried to return a strong typed DataSet from a remote server to a windows form application using a SqlDataAdapter. It did not retieve any records. When I use the same code and return a DataSet it works. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

When I use the same code in a Web Service, I was able to create a strong typed DataSet. But I can't use this because my client wants a remote server.

Here is the code:

public DsProject GetProject()
{
DsProject ds = null;
try
{
ds = new DsProject();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(this.ProjectSelCmd);
da.Fill(ds);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ds = null;
throw(ex);
}
return(ds);
}

public DataSet GetProject2()
{
DataSet ds = null;
try
{
ds = new DataSet();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(this.ProjectSelCmd);
da.Fill(ds);
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
ds = null;
throw(ex);
}
return(ds);
}

Hi tcmgc,
What errors generated? I think you must have a local copy of this typed dataset both in server and client. Just a thought.

There were no errors. The same strong typed DataSet is referenced by both the remote server and client.

I don't understand why the same code used to fill and update a strong typed DataSet with a SqlDataAdapter works in a Web Service, but not a remote server.

The only way I could get the strong typed DataSet to work in the remote server was to manually create it using a SqlDataReader to loop through and add rows.

try the other overload of Fill, which takes a table name, and provide the name of the table you want filled in your typed dataset

da.Fill(ds,"ProjectTable"); // for example

the reason whhy it works on the untyped dataset is that it creates a table for you which you can then see.

you could try to overload it....never tried it, but maybe worth a shot...

or you could just build a method that verifies the si--yes, no--no, etc...

'course you could do some work with Localization, that would achieve the same/similar results depending on how/where its used.

string Beautiful;
Beautiful = "ignorant";
label1.Text = "The world is full of " + Beautiful +" people.";

Why is common sense such an un-common comodity?
