Exactly. If you set the CenterParent property before the parent is known, it will have no effect.
For instance If you set the CenterParent in the designer, it will be set when the constructor calls the designer generated code, at which point the parent is still unknown. The way to go here is either:
Create a constructor that takes the parent form as a parameter, and then set the Parent property before calling the designer generated code
Or:
When you create the child form in the parent form, first set the Parent Property, then the StartPosition property and then call the Show(Dialog) method.

Hie,
I found this syntax error.
If (Persist.Checked = (true)) {
setPasswordCookies(UserPass.Text, UserEmail.Text);
}
What is the issue?
Thanks.

One = sign is assignment while two == is equality. You can just say the following if you want:
if(Persist.Checked)
{
setPasswordCookies(UserPass.Text, UserEmail.Text);
}

What type of connection does the SqlClient use? Like ado or ole db or something??
/\ |_ E X E GG
|
|

ADO and OLEDB are not connection types. SQL Client uses a direct network connection to the SQL Server and communicates using a proprietary optimized dialect.
ADO and OLEDB are programming interfaces that abstract the database and expose a consitent, generalized API that works on any database with an ADO or OLEDB data provider.
What are you looking into? Why the question?

I have a dataview with two fields I want to sort by. One is a Text field and the other is a date field. ie:
Status(Text), DateSubmitted
Active , 6/8/2004
Closed , 6/8/2004
Active , 6/9/2004
Active , 6/23/2004
I've used the following code to sort it:
dv = ds;
dv.sort = "Status ASC, DateSubmitted DESC";
so my problem is that same ol' problem where the Date field is being sorted as a text field so that the active items would get sorted by date in the following Desc order:
6/9/2004
6/8/2004
6/23/2004
Obviously I need to get the 6/23/2004 up to the top of the list. How do I do this?

Just a quick question, what is the data type of your DataSubmitted field in the database?

It's coming from an xml file that is loaded into a DataSet. So I guess its starting datatype is String. Is there someway to define the datatype in the DataSet or DataView?

You should be working with Typed DataSet, this will allow you to use the XML Schema Date type. This[^] will provide some background information in using Typed DataSets. This[^] shows the relationship between XML Schema (XSD) Types and .NET Framework Types. Another useful link is this[^] explain the process to create a Typed DataSet.

How can I detect whether the account of a user is enabled/disabled using Active Directory?
The user can be of any Win Server i.e. Win2K/WinXP/Win2K3
I am able to retrieve the other properties using Active Directory.
I need to enumerate thru all the users present on the server ..... and hence I don't know their passwords and hence cannot check whether their account is enabled/disabled by authenticating using the username and the password.
Any suggestion/comment is welcomed ...............

Have you looked at the DirectoryEntry [^] class? There are serveral articles on CP and MSDN that cover this material.

This 'flag' is actually part of a MS defined enumeration that is the value of the userAccountControl attribute. More documentation is available at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-s/adschema/adschema/a_useraccountcontrol.asp
Try this and see if it helps.

Nick,
I am using the Directory Entry class to get the usernames and their details on the Active Directory and also to authenticate a user for their login. But among the property lists their isn't any option for checking whether the user's account has been disabled or enabled. Though when trying to authenticate the user provided username and password, even if correct username and password is given and if the account is disabled, I am getting error and hence authentication is failing. But thats only possible if I know both the username and password. But here, I only know the domain path, and enumerating that I am able to get the usernames only and not the passwords. So, I think, I need to get the enabled/disabled property of an user account in some different way, which I suppose is possible.
And to add to that, the link provided by Bruce does not exist anymore ....
Suvadip.

Hi,
I've got a little problem. I am busy with a nice little program about statistics, and I want to include how often you use a program.
Since Windows has an indication in his Add or Remove screen I was thinkin it wouldn't be a problem. Since I could get that same info from somewhere. Now I have been searching for a very very very ....... very very long time, But I cannot find it. My last try is you guys/girls. Does anyone know how I can figure out how often a program is being used?
thanks to whoever can help me.

There are many methods you could use, Event Logging comes to mind, there are several articles on both CP and MSDN that cover this. You could also just write out the data you want to any persistant system (flat file, XML file, database). It really depends on how you want to use this information, will it be sent back to a server somewhere else. This should give you a start.

When I read your reply, I had to read it again. I didn't really understand the first time. Second time I realized there is a misunderstanding. I can think of a solution to track how often I use my own program. But I want to know how much I use programs from others, like MS Office, Enterprise Architect, Winzip etc... I can life with a raw indication, like often, rarely etc. Like in the screen of "Add or Remove Programs".
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you were talking about the use of my own program.
PS: If anybody knows how I can monitor a file on being read, I would be saved too.

Correct, you could probably just come up with your own scale relative to when the program was last accessed, this is already logged for you.
