Event Log Task Category

The value allowed for the Task Category in the WriteEntry is short which means it's numeric only but how can I use a string value just like you can see in the event log of SQL Server...

I think you have answered your own question. If the eventlog stores it as a short then you cannot put a string in it.

I have 10 workstation on Vista and XP all connected to a windows server with SQL Server 2008 Express install on the server. Is there any way to use the server date and time on my application instead of using the date and time on the workstation? so even if the workstation date and tiome is wrong it will use the correct date and time from the server?

Get the server date using a query. Then, use this date across your client application.

Hi all,
i use, to move a circle in a panel (in a form), a code line such as this:

Grapichs e;

for(...)
{
panel.Invalidate(new Rect(list[i-1].x,list[i-1].y,list[i-1].widht,list[i-1].height));
e.DrawEllipse(list[i].x,list[i].y,list[i].widht,list[i].height);
}

can you help me with a solution that resolve a flicker problem? Is possible to create a doublebuffer in a panel object?

Thanks.

Alex

Yes. Create a class that inherits from Panel and in the constructor you can set this.DoubleBuffered to true.

Can you help me with example? I use a panel object with "drag and drop" from toolbar into form (I'm novice programmer in C#).
Thanks a lot!

Dear All,

Im trying to read data from excel through Oledb.

OleDbConnection connCura = new OleDbConnection(@"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;
                        Data Source=" + path + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0");
                    OleDbDataAdapter da = new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT * FROM [Sheet1$]", conn);

The problem is that if the 'Sheet1' in the excel file had a another name instead of 'Sheet1', then im getting this error:

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: External table is not in the expected format. at ConfigQeKMS.ReadImportFile.ReadTheFile(String path, String extension, String scheiTeken) in C:\Documents and Settings\KaneshkaB\Desktop\30 DEC 2009\QeKms\ConfigQeKMS\ReadImportFile.cs:line 61

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Thanks.

is the textbox not readonly? or enabled= false ?

Use Ctrl+Left/Right to switch messages, Ctrl+Up/Down to switch threads, Ctrl+Shift+Left/Right to switch pages.
