Menu like functionality VPMahank22-Dec-05 5:23 VPMahank 22-Dec-05 5:23  I need to have a menu with similar look and feel like the MainMenu except that I need to be able to put it anywhere in form( making little flexible). I started having Panel as holding main menu items. I need to provide functionality pretty much same as MainMenu. That means if a menu item has children it should be able to add an arrow to the right and show the sub menus on mouse over and make appropriate menus invisible on mouse out. I would appreciate if anyone would throw some light into it.

Book fmardani22-Dec-05 4:41 fmardani 22-Dec-05 4:41  Hi, Could you please recommend one good book on .net 2.0 and sql server 2005 (win or web) Thanks Auto Update for my application .NetRocker22-Dec-05 4:35 .NetRocker 22-Dec-05 4:35  Hi, I have written a software (a windows application) in C#.NET that is used by many clients of our company. Now my supervisor wants me to implement an auto update feature for the application. I think i am looking at a situation where my application needs to call a webservice to know if a newer version exists and if it does, it needs to download and execute the new version. Am I thinking in the right direction? If yes, can anyone provide me with what i need to do exactly? Any ideas will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Sandeep.

I was wondering how i could download files from a web address and you just solved my problem. Cheers! Connecting to a remote DB from a service Marc Clifton22-Dec-05 4:19 Marc Clifton 22-Dec-05 4:19  I'm getting a "Failed to open database using..." error when attempting to connect to SQL Server located on a remote machine, using a user account login. Do I need to use a different Account setting? I'm currently using ServiceAccount.LocalSystem. (and yes, I posted this in the ADO.NET forum too, but forgive me, this forum gets a lot more traffic).

Re: Connecting to a remote DB from a service .NetRocker22-Dec-05 4:54 .NetRocker 22-Dec-05 4:54  I guess you are using a windows service to connect to the database. The settting you have seems to be fine. Make sure the connection string you use has the username and password of an account that has accesss to your database. That should solve your issue. Re: Connecting to a remote DB from a service HerbCSO22-Dec-05 12:56 HerbCSO 22-Dec-05 12:56  You need to be running the service with a different account. LocalSystem is allowed access only to local resources. Sometimes even accessing localhost via TCP/IP will not work with this account! Go to the Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Services, double-click the service and under the Logon tab, change the account to one that is allowed to access the DB (or even just a domain account or even a local account on the server if you're not using Windows authentication to connect to the DB). -- Umm... what's a .sig? ;] HttpApplication talbot22-Dec-05 4:15 talbot 22-Dec-05 4:15  How can I access HttpApplication object within the class which does not belong to the same namespace as the application? Thank you. talbot Re: HttpApplication .NetRocker22-Dec-05 4:55 .NetRocker 22-Dec-05 4:55  Use the full name of the class. MyNamespace.Classname Re: HttpApplication talbot22-Dec-05 4:58 talbot 22-Dec-05 4:58  I don't want access the class, but the current instance of the application. How can I obtain the reference to the app? Re: HttpApplication .NetRocker22-Dec-05 5:23 .NetRocker 22-Dec-05 5:23  Pass the instance of the application as an object in the constructor for your class. Re: HttpApplication talbot22-Dec-05 5:27 talbot 22-Dec-05 5:27  Ok, thank you. Is there any other/elegant aproach how can it be done in case if I have a lot of nested methods? Re: HttpApplication .NetRocker22-Dec-05 5:39 .NetRocker 22-Dec-05 5:39  Well, frankly speaking, I do not see what is not so elegant about passing an object into the constructor. May be if you post some code, I can understand the situation well and could help you if i can. Re: HttpApplication talbot22-Dec-05 5:49 talbot 22-Dec-05 5:49  E.g.: namespace namespace1 { class HttpAppObj : HttpApplication { public s_i = 5; HttpAppObj.method1() { namespace2.cobj2 obj2 = new namespace2.cobj2(); obj2.method2(); } } } namespace namespace2 { class cobj2 { cobj2.method2() { namespace3.cobj3 obj3 = new namespace3.cobj3(); obj3.method3(); } } } ... namespace namespaceN // E.g. N = 20; { class cobjN { protected int i = 0; cobjN.methodN() { namespace1.HttpAppObj appObj = ???Global app instance???; // This is my task... i = appObj.s_i; } } } Sharing global data among accesses to the server talbot22-Dec-05 3:56 talbot 22-Dec-05 3:56  Hi. I want to share data (counter) among clients connected to the ASP.NET server. How could I do that? The data need not be persistent in case of server shutdown. Thank you for your help. talbot Re: Sharing global data among accesses to the server .NetRocker22-Dec-05 4:59 .NetRocker 22-Dec-05 4:59  You must post ASP.NET questions in its respective group.Anyways the answer would be to save the data in the application state. you can share an application state with all the users of your application. treeView child restrictions WetRivrRat22-Dec-05 3:55 WetRivrRat 22-Dec-05 3:55  I want to display the node text after selection in a label. However i need to restrict this display to only the 3rd-child node in the list so in other words, CompanyName - DeptName - UserName - UserPC UserPhone# - Dept1Name - User1Name - User1PC User1Phone# I want to restrict the display of name to only the username, user1name, user2name, etc. nodes, and it needs to stay until the next user name is selected... Once i figure out the restriction portion i'll beable to set the label text static until the next username selection... just would like some assitance with the setting of the node restriction. any ideas? string Beautiful; Beautiful = "ignorant"; label1.Text = "The world is full of " + Beautiful +" people."; Why is common sense such an un-common comodity? Anybody out there??? I need some help! WetRivrRat28-Dec-05 4:00 WetRivrRat 28-Dec-05 4:00  I'm guessing that everyone was gone for the holidays, So i'm hopping that by adding to this thread will give it some more visiblity...... Help!!!!! string Beautiful; Beautiful = "ignorant"; label1.Text = "The world is full of " + Beautiful +" people."; Why is common sense such an un-common comodity? Re: treeView child restrictions Dave Kreskowiak28-Dec-05 5:54 Dave Kreskowiak 28-Dec-05 5:54  Easy. Each Node has a Tag property. Just set the Tag property to some value that signifies it as a displayable node. TreeNode newNode = new TreeNode(); // Set Tag to 0 for a NON-Displayable node newNode.Tag = 0;   // Set the Tag to 1 for a Displayable node newNode.Tag = 1; When the user selects a node, check its Tag property to see if it should be displayed in your label.

Re: treeView child restrictions WetRivrRat28-Dec-05 8:17 WetRivrRat 28-Dec-05 8:17  was thinking about this some more... since the Tag property is of type: object i can pretty much do whatever i want with it, the question just becomes what is the best thing to do? or is simply going with a primative(so-to-speak) 0 or 1 value the best option? string Beautiful; Beautiful = "ignorant"; label1.Text = "The world is full of " + Beautiful +" people."; Why is common sense such an un-common comodity?
