How much time do you think it is going to take to draw out the interface in any tool?
Compared to dragging and dropping the actual components you are going to use onto a form in VS?
It doesn't mean that that is the final design, but it does mean that the customer can see exactly what they are going to get, and you can make changes to it in front of them. It doesn't have to work - just have the relevant components in place for a screen example. I do it all the time - it's quicker, and easier than p*ssing about with pictures, plus the customer can see the relationship between things.
Ask yourself this: How long will it take to draw a DateTimePicker in all it's various formats? And how long to dump one on a form and set the format?
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Exactly, but why create one that you'll just have to throw out and not leverage into the full-fledged app?

Assuming you have a reason you don't want your client to see Visual Studio running, with your prototypes of Forms displayed, the simplest method is to take screen shots of your VS prototypes, and crop out everything you don't want the client to see.
See the 'Free Tools' forum here on CP for recommendations of free screen-capture utilities.
If you want to get really fancy, and make screen recordings, you can use tools like Snagit (not free).

The forms designer is pretty good for this purpose. There is a school of thought that says that something which looks 'final' like that is not so good for getting feedback, and recommends tools like Balsamiq. Personally, when I'm going over initial ideas with people (clients or team-mates) I use paper and pen/pencil/crayon.

Using this way you can add a dropdownlist in a ASP page. If you leave blank in width property of the dropdownlist then it will automatically fit in the GridView. If you provide the value then it will display in that width only. You can add other controls as well in the next asp:TemplateField. Don't forget to disable autogenerate coloumn for showing only your coloumns not the whole datasource's coloumns.
Happy Programming... 
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False">
<Columns>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" width="25px" runat="server">
</asp:DropDownList>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>

If you want to use your custom control then you need to implement this "IDataGridViewEditingControl" interface in your control class. Then you can be able to add your control in the DataGridView using this way (write these in your YourForm.Designer.cs file)
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.dataGridView1 = new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridView();
this.Column1 = new YourCustomControlType();
this.dataGridView1.Columns.AddRange(new System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewColumn[] {
this.Column1});
this.Column1.HeaderText = "Column1";
this.Column1.Name = "Column1";
}
private YourCustomControlType Column1;

As I said, a Web Service. (WCF)
|
|
|
|
|
Build a web service application with database. Then host it after that you can do it. And also don't forget to insert reference of your web service in your windows application.
|
|
|
|
|
i have 3 or 4 goups in 4 towns
so
first where the database will be
second will they connect from application & communicate with database through web service??
third what about it's performance
i need your help

Database will be in the server. Hosted in a static IP.
In application add web reference of that web service.
In web service write the functions for get and set the data. All database related interactions will be written in web service. Just access the web service and use the functions.
Performance depends on the server configuration, network speed, bandwidth.

Hi All !
I want to Export my dataset to a Text File With This Format :
000010103327742000000000002477000000000000000000
000020103545843004000000002477000000000000000000
000030103362063008000000002500000000000000000000
000040205918898005000000002477000000000000000000
that :
00001 is Row of Person
0103327742000 is Account Number
000000002477000 is the their Money
and other number:
000000000000000 is nothing
my code for this is :
int i;
String strDestinationTxtFile;
strDestinationTxtFile = "C:\\output.txt";
StreamWriter sw = null;
sw = new StreamWriter(strDestinationTxtFile, false);
foreach (DataRow row in dsBankPardakht.Tables["PersonPardakht"].Rows)
{
object[] array = row.ItemArray;
for (i = 0; i < array.Length - 1; i++)
{
sw.Write(array[i].ToString());
}
sw.Write(array[i].ToString());
sw.WriteLine();
}
sw.Close();
the problem is how can get this format( for Rows , moeny and Account Number and ...)
Thanks for any Help

Use String.Format()[^] to ensure your output fields are in the requisite format, rather than ToString().
|
|
|
|

Thanks for your Reply , but I couldn't Use this correctly:
for (i = 0; i < array.Length - 1; i++)
{
sw.Write(array[i].ToString());
}
sw.Write(array[i].ToString());
Can you explain more about this
Best Regards !

Go to the link I posted, and study the String.Format() method, to see how it can produce the information in the format that you want. Since I have no idea what format your original data is in I cannot give a specific example.
