Yes, something like JADE. What other possiblities are there to solve such problem? If someone do not want to write JADE in .NET.

There are none that I know of. You'd have to write your own "JADE" library for .NET.

 Issue/Requirements:
1. Use an SQL database to store text and MS Word documents
Data Source: Desktop
Initial Catalog (Database Name): BLOB
Table Name: tblBLOB
'Maybe some other columns will be added for later use.
Columns: BLOBID, BLOBName, BLOBDescription, BLOBDocument
2. Use Microsoft Visual Basic .NET to retrieve the information/documents
From Name: Form1.vb
Text Boxes: txtBLOBID, BLOBName, BLOBDescription
Picture Box: BLOBDocument
 In the past I used MS Access and its internal forms to display the OLE Objects (MS Word documents) embeded (linked) into the table. However, I would like to start using an SQL Database and use an application to retrieve the BLOB
3. Functionality of the .NET form.
I would like to use the form to (1) retrieve and display a picture of the MS Document. (2) Search the SQL database for documents based on the BLOBDescription and or other fields. (3) Add new documents into the tblBlob. (4) Have basic database functions: NEXT, PREVIOUS, ADD, DELETE buttons.
i Have a majority of this complete (ie, the SQL database, The .NET form, but I just can't get the two to work together to insert a new document, and or view a new document.:->
Completely lost

Thank you all for your knowledge and help.

It's likely that the picturebox control is NOT going to render the word document like the Access Ole contro did. PictureBoxes understand graphics images, not ole documents. You will probably have to use word interop or something similar to render the document...

Thank you for the quick response.
What about using a unbound or bound object? Is there any work arounds? This is a link to what I've been attempting to put togther but no luck in following the code.

I try to run my C# application from a network drive and I get a Security Exception saying: "Request for the permission of type 'System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission, mscorlib, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed."
Why does this happen? what should I do?

CAS (Code Access Security) at work  You need to increase the trust level for assemblies that load off the network drive. See this[^] link to know how to do that.

I am doing a design where there is a menu of actions that the user can perform. This isn't about the user interface part. It is about the logic part. I've got a 3-teir architecture going and there are classes in the business logic layer that define what actions are available at a particular time. But there is a problem. I've discovered that there are 3 types of action, although there are many more actions than this. Some actions are optional (the user can choose whether or not to take those actions), some actions are mandatory (the user must take that action before a certain point. Before that point they may choose certain other optional actions, but not others), finally, there are potential actions (these are actions that the user has potentially available to them, but they must satisfy some other condition first before they can take that action. Some of those potential actions are optional and some are mandatory).
So far I have an action class. I also have a potential action class, and a mandatory action. The potential action class contains a field which is an action object. The mandatory action class is an abstract base class. The actual actions derive from either the action itself, or the mandatory action class.
What I am trying to do is keep coupling to a minimum, but I'm having problems with it. I also have a controller class that contains a list of the actions, this list is passed to the user interface. They user gets to see all the actions. However, if they pick a potential action where the condition is not met they get a message telling them what they need to do in order to take that action. The action of the potential action is to generate the message.
I don't know if I'm explaining myself very well. I guess that is part of my problem. If I could explain it well, I would understand it enough not to need to ask the question.
Any ideas would be welcome.

So the actions that are mandatory and optional change over time? For example, an action that is optional at one point in time can become mandatory later? Can you model this as a state machine? Each state is responsible for providing a list of actions that are mandatory, optional, etc.

Not exactly, but I think this is probably going in the right direction.
The states are:
* Optional
* Potential, but optional
* Mandatory
* Potential, but mandatory
Potential meaning that a certain condition must be met first. Any potential action can transition to plain optional or mandatory. Certain actions are, by necessity, potential while there is a mandatory action available as the condition to be met is the invokation of the mandatory action.
I will look in to state machines, but I have to admit to not having read much about them. I'll look for some information on it. If you know of a good article to read on the subject I'd be grateful for a recommendation.
Cheers.

What I was thinking is that you could have a list of all actions, maybe represent these actions as an enumeration. Your application has a number of discrete states. Each state understands which actions are optional, potential, etc. You could possibly store this information in some kind of lookup table.
Anyway, my point is to not look necessarily at the actions as states, but rather have states that know what actions are mandatory, optional, etc.
Also, if some actions are mandatory, you could have a state execute them regardless of whether the user has selected them. In your UI, you could make sure the right radio buttons, check boxes, or whatever are selected programmically (and maybe switch to readonly so they can't be deselected).
I could go on and on. Hope this has given you some ideas.

There is method called CopyTo(src_start,dst,dst_start, length) in class String. While dst is a Char or __wchar_t array. What will be the best way to Copy part of First String to another String? For example, String *Str=S"dirName/filename", I would like just take the file name so I start copy from 8 from Str to another Char dst[]. But dst is not String instance.
Any better ideal? Thanks

System.IO -> file.* has all proper methods to parse any string like this...

Let me solve the problem by myself to see if it is correct
Char str1[]={' ', ' ',' ', ' ',' ', ' ',' ', ' ',};
String* str2 =S"Long String";
str2->CopyTo(5, str2, 0, 6);
String* fileName= __gc new String(str);
Then fileName will be "String"-- which is part if str2.

How can I either detect that the onscreen keyboard has popped up and resize/rearrange my form elements, or have the form autoresize when the keyboard is displayed.
Right now my input field is hidden underneath the keyboard.

u can get the proper windows handles of all app windows that are loaded on desktop by a series of activeDesktop api functions; refer to this function 's owner api doc for details
Function GetForegroundWindow Lib "user32.dll" () As Long

Dear all,
I am a University Student. I am doing research on Web Service. My Topic is sending SMS, Short Message Service From Within My PC. Now, I got a problem of sending SMS using .NET Framework. Could please anyone giving me some ideas or sending my some code sample????
Thank you in advanced.

there are many articles about sms sending on code project ; they basically send sms through a computer connected(usb or bluetooth) cell phone by etsi standards.codes make use of serial communication apis; opening a com port to cell phone and using it like a modem(used not to call somewhere ; do not worry) with etsi ruled modem commands. Etsi is supported on all phones. But many libraries should be customized on a small bit. The date time usage of your country(important)
search codeproject for "etsi" or "send sms" i think u get the idea

Is there a first class URL/URI object in the .Net framework or are they operated upon as strings? If it's the latter, is there a helper class that allows you to extract components of a URL (protocol, host, etc)? Thanks,

It is said that Assembly.Load is a Dynamic Reference. Can anyone explain why it is a Dynamic reference? Furthermore, could someone please explain to me what Static Reference and Dynamic Reference mean?

If you load something during the execution of your code its called dynamic referencing, as you only load it when you need it. Assembly.Load does this. This can be usefull if you need to load tons of references but don't need them all the time.
Static references are those that are loaded as soon as your application is started.

Thanks for the Info. Everything's falling into place now.
