Thanks for ur reply.
So it means I need to access outlook express with MAPI ?
And do you know any c# based MAPI component or code reference for MAPI with outlook express ?
|
|
|
|
|
Automation does not work with Express. MS wants you to pay for Outlook to do automation.

Of course is XmlDocument.LoadXml() throwing an exception, because of all the ampersands in your string.
They must be escaped as &
Using LoadXml() in a try/catch is a way to check for proper XML.

hi mav,
it is not throwing error if i escaped with a single & if i use like &&&&&&&&&& then it is throwing error.
i think its not a good way, if i use try/catch to check.
please help with a solution.

Of course you have to escape every & as &.
If you do this, the xml string is correct and no exception is thrown.
AFAIK there's no ValidateXml method available, so trying to load the string and looking for an XmlException seems to be a reasonable way.

I've posted this in the database section and got no response, so I thought I'd try here...
I need to export the contents of an SQL2000 table to a flat dbf file without any user intervention - Ie I don;t want them to have to use Enterprise Manager
Any ideas out there ???
Tks

whats the format for the DBF ? Is it dBase ?
I have a bunch of librarys in C to manipulate dBase databases, I'm sure it could be ported to C#
|
|
|
|
|
They are dBase III.
tell me more......

Well I might have jumped the gun a little bit. The library I have is from a product called CodeBase, its a real old version but I bet licencing restrictions still apply. If this is for buisness you can buy a current copy at www.codebase.com which supports .NET, but I think I have another solution. It will take some coding but I think it would work.
If your familiar with Office automation, this shouldn't be too hard.
1. Write a routine to export the Table data from SQL into a CSV file.
2. Use Excel Automation to open the CSV file and save as dBase III format.
I manually did the above tasks and got a valid dBase III DBF file (no index file though)
If you need help on the details...i.e. SQL Export routine or Excel Automation let me know.
I hope this idea works.

I was already working on a project that uses Excel Automation and was able to get Excel to export the WorkBook I was using into dBase III with the following line:
wsWorkSheet.SaveAs("c:\\temp\\NewDBF.DBF",Excel.XlFileFormat.xlDBF3,Type.Missing,Type.Missing,0,0,Type.Missing,Type.Missing,Type.Missing);

Tks - the Excel method looks possible, but its not something I've used before.
Does it mean that the user has to open up Excel to do it - if they do, then I may as well stick with Access reading the SQL table through an ODBC connection, as I am familair with that.
What I really want is something that does it all inside my .net app.......
Tks

Dave,
If you use Automation the user will not see a thing...You could have the whole processes linked to a single buttion click or no button at all.
|
|
|
|
|
In that case, where do I start....

Just wonedering if anyone has any idea of how to change the background color of specific items in a Listbox?
I would have thought that there might be a property like ListBox1.Items[1].BackColor or something similar but alas that does not exist?
|
|
|
|
|
I don't believe you can, I've tried this before.
My solution was to use a ListView in Report format.....
|
|
|
|

I actually solved my problem. The Listbox has a property called DrawMode which you set to OwnerDrawFixed. The ListBox then has an event called DrawItem which exposes a lot of properties like BackColor, its Bounds etc which give you all the necessary things to force the drawing of the ListBox.

If I try to grab this result code with
<br />

Any guidance is appreciated.
