Hi friends,
I have to open a text file in with .txt extension..
For this ,am using oledbConn,oledbCommand,oledbReader to read the text file...
I can retrieve the files with their name as "File1.txt","test.txt" etc(as normal filenames)...but if i try to retreive file of name as "test.test.txt","sample.text.txt"....that is,if there is "." in the name of the textfile other than what we use for the extension(.txt),...i could nt retreive...
It displays exception...
Is it possible to retreive the textfile names like this?
Kindly tackle this...
Thanx
Jimmy

Why do you need to use the same method when reading from completely different file types ?
Google for 'read text file C#' and see if you find one example that says to use oledbreader.

I'm understanding that it's sometimes working for you, I'm saying that if you get on the web and look to see what other people do, that no-one uses this class to read text files, a totally different class is provided for doing this.

Ask whatever you like, but do it in a new question, so that if I can't answer, others can see what you're asking about.

christ,
If we read the file using streamreader,if i want to fetch the data columnwise,how can i get it?
We can use ReadLine() to read the contents line by line(row-wise),but for reading columnwise???????
Kindly help me.....

You can use the split function on the string class to split by , for example, assuming a CSV.
I didn't realise you were reading a CSV, I can see why OleDBReader might provide functionality for that. I thought you were just reading a bunch of text.

Why not? I assume it is some kind of csv file and OleDb can handle all of them in a very similar way. If I remember correctly there is even one example for this somewhere on MSDN.

Try putting [] around the filename when building your queries.

I need a suggestion on opening SQL Connection
Is it better for me to open and close the connection on each form that accces the data or i create i static connection that last thourgh to application run time, then close it..
I got a few feedback saying..
some say if i open and close connection each it may effect the performance and some say that if i open and static connection it will cause memory problem..
for ur info currently i doing with 1 static connection..
please give me an explanation on this issue
thanks

Open and close the connection, .NET maintains it's own connection pool.

I was just boning up on the subject last night, and most DBMSs (if not the .NET itself) maintain a connection pool. This way, it can create how ever many connections it will dole out ahead of time, and assign them as needed, instead of performing the resource consuming actions to create them on the fly. Think of it like an old fashioned hotel switchboard operator's console.. they've got a certain number of outside connections all ready to go, but nothing directly connected to the rooms... When you call the operator, they just plug you in when you request an outside line. This is just the reason you "don't" want to use a static connection. Too many applications holding the line when they don't need it could lock up your DBMS for those that do.

Hi All,
I'm trying to do some simple drawing on a tabpage and I want to do it without using the OnPaint event. What I'm doing is using CreateGraphics to get a Graphics object then I'm calling Graphics.DrawLine to try and draw a simple line on the tabpage, but I can't get it to draw anything. After drawing I'm calling Invalidate and Refresh (I also tried each by itself), but I can't get anything to draw on the tabpage.
Any help on this subject (except telling me to use the OnPaint handler) would be very appreciated.
Thanks.
