Is there a PushbackInputStream for C# or a work around?

I need to find a C#/.NET implementation of a PushBackInputStream or a simple solution as to how I can use an exisiting C# stream to do the same thing.

Thanks...

Mail Merging with Word & C#

Well my illustrious leader AKA the boss man, has set me the task of creating an C# application that will print mail merged word documents (merged with data from the C# application), so far I have come up with the following (there is a but, see after the code) :

<br />
private void PrintBookMarkedDoc()<br />
{<br />
 object oMissing = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;<br />
 object fileName = Environment.CurrentDirectory + @"\dev_template.dot";<br />
 object newTemplate = false;<br />
 object docType = 0;<br />
 object isVisible = true;<br />
<br />
 Word.Document ActiveDoc = WordApp.Documents.Add(ref fileName, ref newTemplate, ref docType, ref isVisible);<br />
 WordApp.Visible = false;<br />
 ActiveDoc.Activate();<br />
<br />
 //add text to bookmarks within the current word app<br />
 object oWhat = Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToBookmark;<br />
 <br />
 object oName = "name";<br />
 ActiveDoc.GoTo(ref oWhat, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oName).Text = txtName.Text;<br />
<br />
 oName = "val1";<br />
 ActiveDoc.GoTo(ref oWhat, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oName).Text = txtValue1.Text;<br />
<br />
 oName = "val2";<br />
 ActiveDoc.GoTo(ref oWhat, ref oMissing, ref oMissing, ref oName).Text = txtValue2.Text;<br />
			<br />
//print 1 copy of active document<br />
object xcopies = 1;<br />
 ActiveDoc.PrintOut(ref oMissing,ref oMissing,ref oMissing,ref oMissing,ref<br />
  oMissing,ref oMissing,ref oMissing,ref xcopies,ref oMissing,ref oMissing,ref<br />
  oMissing,ref oMissing,ref oMissing,ref oMissing,ref oMissing,ref<br />
  oMissing,ref oMissing,ref oMissing);<br />
<br />
 //quit word application after merge & print<br />
 object oSaveChanges = 0;<br />
 //WordApp.Quit(ref oSaveChanges, ref oMissing, ref oMissing);<br />
}<br />

Now this works, and diligently takes values and pumps them into the word document template at a specified bookmark - but yes your right, this isnt really mail merging - as it uses bookmarks and not Word FILL-IN mail merge fields, which presents problems when document templates change etc etc, so I really need proper mailmerging - i.e find all FILL fields in XYZ templates and put VALUE123 in there

Has anybody done anything similar using mailmerge fields, and if so, how on earth do you do it?

p.s. I have tried messing around with Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToField & Word.WdGoToDirection.wdGoToNext to no avail

Thanks muchly in Advance

I usually approach this by recording a macro, doing the operation, and then translating it to C#.

I have used Mail Merging heavily in a prior project at law firm whose only business was to produce documents (or so it seemed). Word provides an object, appropriately named MailMerge, to provide merging automation - I assume you can use that in C# through Interop, couldn't imagine why you couldn't. I would recommend using a table in an Access file as your DataSource instead. As Eric said, record a macro in VBA and then clean it up for your own use.

Hi All

We are developing a new project in C# and it is being migrated from VB6 which uses client server technology with SQL server 2k.
I am developing a DLL which gives data a part of the VB6 application to the new new c# project developed (bridge kind of stuff that links these two application which retrieves data from SQL server and give it to vb6 dll)

I wanted to know what is the best method of giving back the results (in the form of recordsets/xml or whatever) from the dll to c# program Confused | :confused:

Kindly help Eek! | :eek:

Thanks

C# and Windows'98

I’m new in all this, but tell me – I develop an application in C# - is it possible to run this application under
Windows 98 or Millenium? What shall I do or where can I read about this?
Thanks!

Yes, so long as it has the .NET framework installed. You can only develop under an NT based OS though, that means W2000 or XP.

Christian, I don't want to be bothersome, but do they really need the whole .NET Framework? Smile | :)

Don't they only need the .NET redistributable files (20mb)in able to run C# apps? Smile | :)

This has been discussed many times before, but. Because he was newbie I wanted to say this. Hope you understand my point, Christian.

Also I've read that you *can* develop on win98 with C# because the redistibuteable comes with the C# compiler. Allthough I've never used it like this...

Which compiler?
If you mean csc you can use it on Win98, but the Visual Studio .NET is only a NT capable IDE as Christian said.

Sure here is a quick example:

string sql;
sql = GetSearchString();<font color=green>  //function that creates my SQL statement</font>
try
{
	string myConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" 
         +  "Data Source=" + @"C:\Documents and Settings\User\Desktop\phonebook\phonebook.mdb";
	OleDbConnection myConnection = new OleDbConnection(myConnString);
	myConnection.Open();
	OleDbCommand myCommand = new OleDbCommand();
	myCommand.Connection = myConnection;
	myCommand.CommandText = sql;
	OleDbDataAdapter myDataAdapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(myCommand);
	DataSet myDataSet = new DataSet();
	myDataAdapter.Fill(myDataSet);
	this.dataGrid1.DataSource = myDataSet;
	this.dataGrid1.Visible = true;
	myConnection.Close();
}
catch(Exception err)
{
	MessageBox.Show("An error has occured\n\n" + err.Message + "\n" + err.Source + "\n", "Phone Book Error");
}

Hope this helps. Smile | :)

Can anybody please help on a problem I am having?

My problem is that I need to be able to get the name of the application that my AddIn has been loaded into (Word, Excel etc.). I assume I use the application object that gets passed into the OnConnection method, but I am unsure how to get the reference to the "Name" property.

Does anybody have any samples or references that might help me in my endeavours?

Hi Chris,

There are lot of references / articles on msdn on how to go about writing addins using managed code.
For starting take a look at this

Also have a look at this [^]
