I am not sure that you can get the drive letters using the PhysicalDrive. Look up Win32_MappedLogicalDisk in the WMI documentation. From memory it is much easier to get the drive letters that way.

The logical drives (drive letters) identify partitions, not physical devices. It takes a couple of WMI objects to get most of the information you want; you will probably discover that the very physical characteristics (such as number of cylinders) don't make sense any more as they are virtualized within the drive itself; the local intelligence just makes the disk look like one heap of sectors.
Also, the latest versions of Windows (Vista, 7) are likely to refuse full access, even read access, at the device level unless you are an elevated escalated super-administrator.

connectionString1 = @"
server = .\sqlexpress;
integrated security = true;
database = C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA\NORTHWND.MDF;
user instance = true";
connectionString2 = @"
server = .\sqlexpress;
integrated security = true;
database = northwind";
connectionString1 is working fine and connectionString2 is giving the message "Cannot open database northiwnd. login failed for user XYZ".
Can someone tell me whats the difference

The difference lies in the user instance = true part of the sql.
Read about user instances here.

I am sorry I should have mentioned before hand, that even the above string with "user instance = true" added is not working

hi all
i have an win application form suppose to show some reports in CrystalReportView i have no idea how to assign a list<> of class to MyCrystalReport
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
StdList = new List<studants>();
StdList.Add(new studants("1", "1", 1));
StdList.Add(new studants("2", "2", 2));
StdList.Add(new studants("3", "3", 3));
StdList.Add(new studants("4", "4", 4));
StdList.Add(new studants("5", "5", 5));
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CrystalReport1 cr = new CrystalReport1();
cr.SetDataSource(StdList);
crystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = cr;
}
but i have not assigned any table with CrystalReport1 it`s all because of i have not any dataset or database or ... and i do not know how to assign add or assign a list<> of objects to my crytalReport Project (CrystalReport1) how can i assign it and work on it
i should definitely use list<>
please help me!!!!!!!!!!

Does CR support List<> as a datasource? I have not used that POS in a few years but I doubt it has moved that fast.
I suggest you do some research on the Business Object web site.

I have a label called lblsite that I'm trying to give a value from a cached value.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
lblsite.Text = (Cache("locid") + 1);<br />
}
The "locid" is set on the previous page.
protected void btnaddaddress_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
Cache["locid"] = gvaddressmax.SelectedRow.Cells[0].Text;<br />
Response.Redirect("btnaddaddress.aspx");<br />
}
However, the lblsite.Text = (Cache("locid") + 1); gives me the following error and results in a null value.
'System.Web.Caching.Cache' is a Type, but being used like a variable
How can I get this to work?

|

|

You should have posted in the asp forum. Anyway, I think it's the parenthesis.
try (Cache)("locid") +1;
even better
(yourType)((Cache)("locid")) +1;
You did not mentioned what you stored in the previous page.

This is the problem. Cache provides indexer access to object values, so you need to extract the value back out before you attempt to work with it. Try changing this instead to:
int value;
if (int.TryParse(Cache["locid"], out value))
{
lblsite.Text = ++value;
}

Hi,
I'm interested in adding a small exit button to the top part of the active Tab Page (like the one in the IE's Tabs), in order to enable users to close tabs more easily.
I'd appreciate any info on how to acomplish this (probably involves owner drawn tab control + more), or if anyone has already implemented such Tab Contol/Tab Page - a link to it...
tnx

There's an editable datagridview populated from a table say tblItems. Among the columns of the datagridview there's a combobox column named 'Category'. This column is populated by the respective 'Category' column of tblItems. Now in the 'Category' column of the datagridview I want to set the value of a certain cell to Null programmatically. Suppose when I press keyboard Delete button over the cell or some other button on the form, the value of the cell becomes Null. Datagridview.keydown event isn't working as when the cell is selected the focus is actually on the editingcontrol of the cell and not the datagridview. Also the combobox editingcontrol doesn't have any 'SelectedIndex' property that can be set to -1. Any idea plz? Regards.

Add an item to your list in position 0 with a value 0 and a label of string.empty.
Set the selected index to 0.
Deal with the 0 value on the way out, when you write to the database.

The thing is, the EditingControl property of the grid and the e.Control property in the EditingControlShowing event handler are both type Control, because they have to be able to refer to any control. If you're currently editing a combo box column though, you know that the actual object is type ComboBox (to be more precise, type DataGridViewComboBoxEditingControl) so you have to cast it as that type in order to access members of that type. This is the case no matter what objects you're dealing with: you must have a reference of the correct type to access members of that type. E.g.
ComboBox cbx = (ComboBox)myDataGridView.EditingControl;
cbx.SelectedIndex = -1;

You missed the point, this is all about managing your data not the control. The control does not deal with null so supply an alternative. It is your data, decide how you can do this, I would add a default data item into the underlying dataset and use that as the null substitue.

Why on earth it's so difficult to find a sample on the web for this topic? Nobody has ever tried putting a checkbox on a datagridview on a winform? Or my search is wrong? This thread's subject has been my search key. Gettin nothin.
What's wrong with the below code?
<br />
DataGridViewCheckBoxCell chk = (DataGridViewCheckBoxCell)dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0];<br />
if (chk.Selected)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show("Selected!");<br />
}<br />
It's always checking the "cells" selected state. I want to know if the check box has been selected(Checked!) or not.
Yes, I added column 0 to be a DataGridViewCheckBoxCell.
Anybody can help?
|
|
|
|
|
The Value property would give the checked state of the cell.
BTW, instead of casting, you can use as keyword along with the null check.
|
|
|
|
|
How do I access it's value? The below attempt is successfuly throwing a cast exception.
<br />
if (CheckState.Checked == (CheckState)dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value)<br />
{<br />
MessageBox.Show("ok");<br />
}<br />
|
|
|
|
|
so look at dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value.ToString() to discover what might be wrong.
everything responds well to ToString(), except null of course.

Something's troubling. It requires me to "check" the checkbox at least once before checking it's VALUE to stop it from whining.
If I call
<br />
dataGridView1.Rows[0].Cells[0].Value.ToString()<br />
straight, without touching the grid, it's throwing NULL object exception.

Not quite. There must be many ways to make Value hold an appropriate value, or to overcome a possible null.

The property Value will have value as true or false. Try casting that to boolean.
