Hello everybody Smile | :)

,

Is there a way to avoid using the standard OpenFileDialog control in Visual Studio.NET 2005 and still be able to produce the same information using C#? I mean, if I wish to create a different user interface yet display the same information regarding drive lists, directory lists and the list of files under various folders. How can I achieve this ?

Thanks and regards.

You can use the classes in the System.IO namespace to get information about drives, directories and files.

The DriveInfo.GetDrives method, for example, returns an array of DriveInfo objects that represent the available logical drives in the system.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the guidance. Big Grin | :-D

. I got the idea as well as where to look for.

As a matter of fact, I was thinking if there might be some classes available that can be used. Thank you once again.

Make your own dialog. Just look up "directory browser" in the search bar of this website, there are plenty of good examples.

Problem when I use the Windows Application in Windows Vista.

Hello everyone,

I have created an Windows Application using .NET Framework2 and everything works fine under WIndows XP Operating System. When I run the Windows Application under Windows Vista, there are some issue and it doesn't work as good as it should. The main problem comes from the part that the Windows Application needs to connect to a remote database and populate DataTable on the Windows Application with data from remote database.

This is the code that I am using to populate the DataTable by data from remote database after the connection has been stablished.

	    // Select MyDatabaseName<br />
            OdbcCom = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcCommand("USE MyDatabaseName;", OdbcCon);<br />
            OdbcCom.ExecuteNonQuery();<br />
            <br />
            // Create a mysql DataAdapter<br />
            OdbcAd = new System.Data.Odbc.OdbcDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM " + MyTableName + ";", OdbcCon);<br />
<br />
            // Create a dataset<br />
            myds = new DataSet();<br />
<br />
            // Now fill and bind the DataGrid<br />
            OdbcAd.Fill(myds, MyTableName);<br />
<br />
            // Create a datatable<br />
            myTable = new DataTable();<br />
<br />
            // Now fill in data into myTable<br />
            myTable = myds.Tables[MyTableName];

I was wondering if anyone have faced the same problem or if anyone knows anything about it.

Thank you very much and have a great day.

I had a similar problem with Windows XP 64 bits.
Then I discovered that XP 64 bits has no support for ODBC.
It may be your case.

Spaces in a String object

Hi!
Is there a function that handles duplicate characters such as 2 spaces in a word, the one who transform:
yyyy tttt
to:
yyyy tttt

Or do i need to create it?

Thanks Smile | :)

Have you looked at what methods are on the string object?

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/EN-US/library/system.string_members.aspx[^]

It's amazing what you can find by just looking :P

Did you mean the join function?
I am sorry, but i could not find something like this.
Can you please help?

So you didn't see the method called Replace?

Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

The one for replacing one thing with another? Like replacing two spaces with one?

ytubis30-Jul-07 2:18

30-Jul-07 2:18

I did see it, but the 2 spaces was an example, what about 3,,5,7,9,23,45,49,76,78.

This is what i ment when asking if there is a function, or i need to write my own algorithm for that.

Thanks for your help Smile | :)

I dont see any difference Unsure | :~

As for white space trimming, you can handle it as follows

string strVar = "Your text goes here";
string TrimmedString = strVar.Trim();

Hello,

Do you want the second part of the string as long (same Char count) as the first?
And is there allways one whitespace in between?

All the best,

Martin

string subStr=s.SubString(1,s.length-2);// this is what u want! Big Grin | :-D

How to open , new and save using file dialog box in windows application of c#?

Use a more descriptive subject line next time. Just putting c# in the subject line in a C# forum doesn't really help much.

Look up using the FileOpenDialog control...

Doesn't tell me much.

Be more precise about what you want to do...If you have the control dragged from the toolbox to your form, use the ShowDialog() method to show it. You might want to get a book on C# and read up.

Google using the keywords using FileDialog in C# has many good results to look at Smile | :)
