If you don't know what something is, please read the documentation. It will tell you a lot of information.
The <appSettings> section of a .config file stores key/value pairs. Simply use some name you can easily refer to and include the full path to the database (I strongly recommend you keep it OUT of the publicly-accessible web directories):
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="DBPath" value="C:\SomeDir\File.mdb"/>
</appSettings>
</configuration>When you need the path, use something like:
string dbPath = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["DBPath"]; Don't forget to check for null returns.
This allows you to change the path in your .config file at any time. For Windows applications, you need to restart the application. For ASP.NET, changes to the Web.config file restart the ASP.NET web application automatically, which reads-in the new values when necessary.

Also, if you want to keep the MDB file in the virtual directories for your web app (not a good idea, unless you properly protected it from being downloaded!), then you must use Server.MapPath or Page.MapPath (whichever is easier in your context) to get the full physical path to the file - referring to it by a virtual file reference will not work - only your web server knows about that, not some OLE DB driver).

Hello,
I set the back color of my panel to transparent.
Is there any way to prevent the background from moving when I scroll the panel control?
Right now the background scrolls with the scrollbar movement and what I want is for the panel background to not move and remain transparent.
To do this with my tab control I just draw the correct area of the form's background on the tabpage to give the illusion of transparency. However, when the user scrolls the tabpage, the constant redrawing of the image that I have to do slows down the scrolling a bit and is visible (even when I use double buffering).
Does anyone have any suggestions on keeping the panel's background from moving when the user scrolls? (Or how I can keep a tabpage looking transparent without having to redraw an image every time it gets a scroll message)?
Thanx for the help,
-Flack

You can't keep the background from moving. But what you can probably try is keeping the background of the panel transparent and then put an image under the panel. This will keep the image steady and the panel moving, but you might have redraw performance issues...

Hi Everybody,
I wrote a class like this
public class Node
{
private int data;
private string key;
#region Constructors
public Node(string key, int data)
{
this.key = key;
this.data = data;
}
#endregion
#region Public Properties
public int Value
{
get
{
return data;
}
set
{
data = value;
}
}
public string Key
{
get
{
return key;
}
set
{
key = value;
}
}
#endregion
}
public class test
{
public static void Main()
{
ArrayList a = new ArrayList();
Node n = new Node("ab", 1);
a.Add(n);
PrintValues(a);
}
public static void PrintValues( IEnumerable myList )
{
System.Collections.IEnumerator myEnumerator = myList.GetEnumerator();
while ( myEnumerator.MoveNext() )
Console.Write( "\t{0}", myEnumerator.Current.ToString());
Console.WriteLine();
}
}
My problem is How do I get and set values for each node in this Array List and How do I print out to the screen.
Thanks for your help and time.

You have to cast the elements of your ArrayList.
<br />
public static void PrintValues( IEnumerable myList ) <br />
{<br />
System.Collections.IEnumerator myEnumerator = myList.GetEnumerator();<br />
while ( myEnumerator.MoveNext() )<br />
{<br />
Console.Write( "\t{0}", ((Node) myEnumerator.Current).Key.ToString());<br />
Console.WriteLine();<br />
}<br />
}

Please take a good look at this and give me some clues!!!
I need to list every table in the Access database.
This code (which is from the .NET Framework Class Library DataTableCollection Class page on MSDN) appears to get the info that is needed, but what does the dataset coding look like for this to work?
private void GetTables(DataSet ds) <br />
{ <br />
foreach (DataTable t in ds.Tables) <br />
foreach (DataRow r in t.Rows) <br />
foreach (DataColumn c in t.Columns) <br />
if (r[c] != null) <br />
Console.WriteLine(r[c]); <br />
}

Hi Bill. You're going to want to use the GetOleDbSchemaTable method of the OleDbConnection object to get your list of tables. This Microsoft KB document should help.

Thanks Mike I will give that a try.

Yes, I know about the registry, but I need to read an ini file.
Could you point me towards the C# counter part of
GetPrivateProfileString.
thanks

I want to create a toolbar that is very narrow and vertical. In the design mode this is very easy. BorderStyle=None. Dock = DockStyle.Left.
That said, the dialog box expands 3 fold in runtime mode.
Any suggestions on how to create a very narrow / verticle toolbar?
thanks

Try setting the maximum, and minimum sizes of the application to the same size to restrict it from changing.
this.MinimumSize = new Size(40, 400);
this.MaximumSize = new Size(40, 400)
It shouldn't be expanding on its own like that, unless there is something that is causing it to do so. By setting the min/max sizes, it will remain the same size no matter.

Try this:
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
[DllImport("winmm.dll", EntryPoint="mciSendString")]
public static extern int mciSendStringA(string lpstrCommand, string lpstrReturnString, long uReturnLength, long hwndCallback);
mciSendStringA("Set CDAudio Door Open Wait", null, 0, 0);
to close it I believe its "Set CDAudio Door Close Wait", null, 0, 0);
I can't test it on my system because mine doesn't have autoclose i have to manually close it.

 hai there,
i have a query to ask you(related remoting concept). See i have a class in my server machine and this class is reused by the client machine. After accessing the facilities of server class my client machine will release the server object.
My question is how can i keep track of total how many times my server class is used by other clients.
how can i impliment this counter concept.
Note : concept is same as no of times a perticular webpage is visited.
but here my application is windows application.
hai, feel free to contact

In your class define a static field (static int instanceCount = 0), and then in the constructor increment this with instanceCount++
And decrement in the destructor.

It depends on the activation type. If you use a client-activated single call remoting object, then you'll need to use a static field like the first reply mentioned. If you're using a singleton, then since each client gets the same instance, you can use a simple instance field.
In either case, if you want to persist this, consider either logging each time a client connects to a file or database along with some basic information about the client, much as a web or FTP server would do. It's more robust and if the machine fails, you won't have to worry about your counter being reset. Another possibility is to use performance counters (see System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCounter) which can be persisted by setting up a performance monitor and logging it with the perf counter you would create. This is even more robust since you don't actually need to write a log parser.

Here i use BitBlt(destDC,x,y,w,h,srcDC,x,y,SRCCOPY) to copy srcDC into
destDC.
i think GetPixel(destDC,x,y) can get the Pixel info at Point(x,y).
and my question is :
can i get bytes info from destDC directly ?
because i think get bytes directly is faster than GetPixel()'s way.
why do i bring out this question?
i have read a msdn help 'How to save a true color bitmap into a Gif file'
which tells me how to get the pixelinfo and save the bitmap into a gif
file.And the help says while doing pixels processing,the LockBits() method
is more efficient than GetPixel()'s way.
so i think whether there is a way to get bytes info from DC directly like
LockBits() do.
