I have seen lots of articles/blogs on reading BIOS settings. I'm not sure that writing them is possible, could be, but I'm not sure.
In any event, would that be the right place for Network Adapter configuration?

Thanks, but I need to write the BIOS to enable LAN.

After your first post, I did a little googling, and found this article[^]. It seems that you can treat the CMOS like ports 70 and 71, I assume one for reading and one for writing, though I could well be wrong on that.
Hope that it at least gives you some clues on how to proceed.

I don't know if this will help you, but take a look at this[^]. Click the first link to download the code.
It's got to be better than messing with the BIOS, one slip and you've got a doorstop.

Thanks, but this code works if the network is enabled in the BIOS and doesn't work on Windows Vista. I need on Vista and XP.

Is there a way for a custom control on a form to tell if it's being called in design mode.
I tried using the DesignMode member in the constructor, but if the control is on a form in the designer DesignMode has a value of false.

TopLevelControl.DesignMode?

TopLevelControl doesn't have a DesignMode property. 
Google's turned up a few fugly hacks, but there doesn't seem to be any supported way to check this from within the constructor itself.

Sorry, I didn't realize DesignMode is protected, not public.

I found that after posting, it pukes if you're using something other than visual studio (eg sharpdevelop), and while I us MSVS and this is an internal app, I dislike that sort of thing on general principles.

Ok. How about checking EntryAssembly == YourApp?

Wouldn't that cause it to fail if I renamed the app/used the control for a second app in the future?

You could test against Application.ExecutablePath.
This is getting complicated = would need some testing

no, this is getting complicated = add comment about MS stupidity and move code out of constructor.

I found a solution not exactly what i was looking for, but it did help me someway.
My next question is How do I create a dynamic copy of datagridView only those row I am interested in. For example, I have a dataGridView it has 15 rows they are all not the same. So, I want to get only
dataGridView1.rows[i].cells[0].value are same.Means collects only those rows first cells has "x".
thanks again.

That would depend on where you are getting the data for your DataGridView from.
Is it from a database, a text file or where?

Hello friends
I want to create a chat room where people will be able to chat.
Users will also be able to Voice chat there just like a messenger.
If there is any code or example or any sort of thing that will help me making this please let me know.
I need to do this asap.
Thanking in advance
Johnny

Here[^] is a good example.
Basically, you can create a server application and a client application. Search 'client server applications', sure there are loads of samples. But, it wont be as easy as you want it to be

Yep, you and about 3 Million others.
You want to have a guess, how many of them actually manage to do it?
I estimate less than 0.005%. Why? Because it is exceedingly difficult thing to do a) properly and b) securely.
Good luck!

It's comments like that that get people's back's up. Just because you need it dosn't mean I ned to do it for you ASAP!

Of course. You simply need to use a console application. Don't worry about writing code, the resonant harmonics of your brain will cause a temporal back-ripple, encoding your intentions onto the relevant sectors of the hard drive in the necessary patterns. This is the true essence of coding; that of making the difficult, possible and the possible, beautiful

Damn, I have to upgrade to this version of VS!
Also, on the keyboard, where is the "Do What I Mean" button?

It's more of a cable. Take the power cable from the back of the computer, switch on the power at the mains and suck on it

Yes but how do I communicate that essence to others?
