Not sure exactly what you are doing, but BOINC is an amazing distributed computer framework. A simple Google search will find you loads of information.

What are you going on about. SQL Server and every other Database natively support remote connections and have like forever. OMG | :OMG:

I guess sql server is a bad example. Maybe if I had 3 Visual Studio 2005 instances running. I would want one working on my computer and the other two computing on another computer.

As far as I am aware, Visual Studio is NOT a distributed application. If you have found information to the contrary perhaps you could supply a link to it? I seems so far you've done a very poor job either understanding distributed computing or explaining your question.

Thanks you for the answer to my question. I was simply asking if it was possible to have distributed computing for Visual Studio 2005.

The other part of my question involves something entirly different. I was wanting to know if I could have an ENTIRE application (Ex: VS2005) running on another computer but being controled from my computer.

Yes there are various technologies for doing just that. They are NOT equal.

If you want to know if you can spread a large projects compile over multiple machines to speed it up there's 3rd party software to do so. IIRC the one I've heard of before is called incredibuild.

Otherwise [Microsoft is] toast in the long term no matter how much money they've got. They would be already if the Linux community didn't have it's head so firmly up it's own command line buffer that it looks like taking 15 years to find the desktop.

I am populating my Dropdownlist using dataset
DataTable t_table = new DataTable();
SqlDataAdapter adapt;
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT distinct ID from TBL1",conn);

adapt = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
adapt.Fill(t_table);
dsProj.Tables.Add(t_table);

The staement does populate as expected but I want to insert a Blank Line First.

How can I do this?

The Font that you use has a FontStyle property. When you create the font, set FontStyle.Bold. If my memory serves correctly, the call would look like this:

Font myFont = new Font("Verdana", 12, FontStyle.Bold);

So which bit of my example didn't tell him how to create a bold font. One line that's all it takes. Anything else is just padding and wasting his time. He asked for information on how to put a bold font in, and that's exactly what I told him. How he draws that to the screen is up to him - because there are so many different ways he can do this.

Hi Guy

You are exactlly correct.OK but i gave additiional information to he, because of if we suugest a help more than he asked details, that's must eb help better than one line code. But ur one code not given a cooerct result

see what is he is asking?

I dont have much knowledge about System.Drawing namespace,
I want to print a particular text in Bold letters with in printed page.

But u given this line only

Font myFont = new Font("Verdana", 12, FontStyle.Bold);

So please explian how can do ONLY ONE LINE CODE with his work

Ok if you're being picky then he also needs this line:

myLabel.Font = myFont;

But I'm sure he can work it out for himself.

Are you new on these forums? We do ask that people do some work for themselves - we don't give them canned answers. What I did do was answer how to get a bold font, which seems to be the main focus of this question.

Now, your answer is incomplete (to a very large extent) because it doesn't deal with issues such as laying out items, measuring strings and the like. If you are not careful, you can end up coding an entire application for somebody in attempting to answer one part. Now I don't have the time for that nor, I suspect, do you.

Interestingly enough, it's only you who seems to be getting bent out of shape about my answer - not the OP. Why do you think that is? Do you think perhaps that he has enough information to carry on with his task?

That is far from always the truth.

If a single line of code provides exactly the information that the poster needs, that is much more efficient that providing hundreds of lines of text to wade through to get the information.

Quite often a poster only needs one small piece of information to solve the problem. Either it's the small missing piece in a method, or he can easily find all the rest of the information he needs once he knows what to look for.

Also, providing some specific piece of information is often a good method to find out what the poster needs, even if it's not exactly that piece of information. It's much easier to determine the usefulness of a single line of code than to find out if there might be something useful somewhere in a long article.

Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

Hi guys,
I need to write some formatted string into a notepad file that is already opened by the user. I tried using TextWriter , but we need to close and open the notepad file to reflect the changes. Also Process.StartInfo doesnot help. Can anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,

One solution would be to use the Process class of System.Diagnostic namespace.
There you find a member called MainWindowHandle, which is an IntPtr.

In combination with the "user32.dll" method "SetForegroundWindow", you can activate the open notepad instance.

After that is done you could use "SendKeys.Send" method to send your text.

Here is a little demo:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
		
    Process[] procNP = Process.GetProcessesByName("notepad");
    if(procNP.Length>0)
    {
        if(procNP[0].MainWindowHandle!=IntPtr.Zero)
        {
            SetForegroundWindow(procNP[0].MainWindowHandle);
 
            System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
 
            SendKeys.Send("Hello World!");
	}
 
	foreach(Process actP in procNP)
	{
            actP.Dispose();
	}
    }
 
 
[DllImport("user32.dll")]
private static extern int SetForegroundWindow (IntPtr hWnd);

Hope it helps!

All the best,

Martin
