It would seem that the Media Player is overwriting your boxes on top of it. This would be because the video that Media Player paints is being repainted, after your boxes are painted, with every frame of video. In other words, your constantly being painted over by the Media Player. I don't think your going to be able to get around this little problem considering Media Player paints (I think!) directly to the frame buffer, but I could be wrong.

With this set:
CreateParams cp=base.CreateParams;
cp.ExStyle|=0x00000020; //WS_EX_TRANSPARENT
You need to determine when to redraw the control. Windows will not let you know. Other then a timer constantly repainting you controls, I see only one .Net way. Remove your CreateParams for the control and use a custom shape to do what you want. Simply create a control that is a box with no center. I will try to upload an example in a few.

Hello,
I have a user control which generates 2 events e.g. ItemSelected, ItemDoubleClicked.
When I create the user control in code and do not add a handler to one of the events, when the event fires I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I am doing something wrong here? I assume I do not have to handle every event fired by my user control?
Many thanks,
Gary

Where exactly does the NullReferenceException originate from?
One reason could be that the user control tries to fire the event regardless of event listeners attached or not.
The correct way would be:
if (ItemSelected != null)
ItemSelected(this, new ItemSelectedEventArgs()); I guess the if (...) is missing.
Regards,

That is indeed the problem, thanks very much.
What exactly is happening here though? ItemSelected is defined as an event linked to a delegate. When say a form creates my user control and assigns a method to the event what happens. I assume ItemSelected is then set as it is not null. If no handler is set then ItemSelected remains null?? What exactly happens here?

For each event a class defines it has an EventHandler member that's managing the delegates to invoke when the event is fired.
This EventHandler is created the first time a client subscribes to an event.
Until that moment the EventHandler variable is still assigned null, so calling any of its methods will throw the NullReferenceException.

Hi Jasto,
Yes 4 years ago – now problem! But today all the telephone company’s charge you for sending a SMS via there servers. Earlier you could send it like an e-mail writing your message in the subject field and sending the mail to fx. xxxxxx@TDC.mobil.dk but today all the company’s I know of has close the service for public use, and you have to contact your telephone company to buy this server.
Sorry – the world is not always free

Hi
maybe it would be simple but never tried..how can I access an Ms Access file(.mdb) by giving an IP address,i dnt find any such option in OleDb
-adnan

Since Access is a file-based database, you'll need file system access rights to the remote machine. There is no Access server for you to attach to! So, in your connection string, then data source would be just like any other Windows UNC path:
\\ip.address\share.name\folder\subfolder\AccessDatabase.mdb

I used following before i give try to your approach
String remoteConnStr="Provider=MS Remote;Remote Server=127.0.0.1;Remote Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\\iconfig.mdb";
String mysql=String.Empty;
OleDbConnection con=new OleDbConnection(remoteConnStr);
con.Open();
MessageBox.Show(con.State.ToString());
mysql="SELECT * FROM preferences";
OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand(mysql,con);
OleDbDataReader reader=cmd.ExecuteReader();
MessageBox.Show(reader.FieldCount.ToString());
i am getting exception on last line OleDbDataReader reader=cmd.ExecuteReader();,Con.state is displaying Open,so i assume connection is being established,the following exception is being thrown
System.InvalidCastException: Specified cast is not valid.
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException..ctor(IErrorInfo errorInfo, Int32 errorCode, Exception inner)
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.ProcessResults(Int32 hResult, OleDbConnection connection, Object src)
any hint?

Well, I had no idea you we're using MS Remote, which is being deprecated by the way. I've never used it because I always use SQL Server or MSDE, never Access databases anymore...
From what I've seen in all the documentation, it only works over http, so, your Remote Server parameter should be:
...Remote Server=http:
and your machine should be running IIS.

I'd like to add an UserAccess-Function to a SQL-Select-Statement.
It's a normal Statement like "Select * from Table Where Status = 'A'".
I'm loooking for a way like "... Where Status = 'A' And AccessFunction()"
or
bool lRes = AccessFunction();
sqlString = "... Where Status = 'A' And " + lRes.ToString();
I don't like to use UDF's, because the Application should work with several Databases like SQL-Server, Access, Foxpro, ... and I don't like same doing code at several places.
Has anyone a helpfull answer ?
Best thanks to you.

Try
sqlString = "... Where Status = 'A' And 1=" + ((int)lRes).ToString();

thanks & sorry,
seeing your answer I realized, that the second codesnippet in my question dosn't describe my real problem - my mistake.
I need a dynamic function call in my SQL-statement such like how in the first codesnippet described ("... Where Status = 'A' And AccessFunction()").
The real problem is, that the functions result depends in normal case on the fieldvalues of the selected records (but I don't like to use UDF's).
For instance, there are some access rules for various usergroups (usergroup "xy" may only see the customergroup "ABC", usergroup "yz" but the customergroup "CDE").
My solution now is to add an boolean field to the datasets table after the fill-command, calculate that for every selected record with my accessfunction and use it in my datagrids binded dataview as a rowfilter.
Do you know a better direct way for these problem ?
thanks for your help,

I have a Windows Service running in the same server as SQL Server. This service uses lot of resources (basically memory). The problem is that at some point, SQL Server uses almost all the available memory in my server. The service runs a memory intensive process from time to time, and I constantly receive an "OutOfMemory" exception (sql server is not leaving much available memory for my service to do its tasks). My service needs about 20MB of free memory, and my question is: Is there any way to pre-alocate this amounth of memory to my service. I mean... not really "allocate" the memory, but "reserve" the memory.

There is a spelling error in your spelling error disclaimer. It is "errors" not "erros" (eros?  )

And now for something useful:
Basically, .NET takes Memory Management out of your hands (GC-wise), so you can simply hack away.
If I was you, I wouldnt want to lose that ability.
I am not sure about .NET, but in Suns JAVA-VM you can specify how much memory you need and the Runtime would then reserve it.
This is one way you could go (that is, IF .NET has similar functionality). The other way would be limiting the SQL-Server to a certain amount of memory (if possible).
The third (and slowest way) would be try/catching each memory-affection operation and then retrying (with a 20ms sleep, maybe) until you get your operation completed (I understand that the memory-consuming allocations of the SQL-Server are peaks only).
There may be more solutions, but the above are all I can think of.
Before I forget, there also are 2 non-programmatical solutions to your problem:
1st - let Windows handle the page file or set it to something bigger (e.g. 1 GB)
2nd - upgrade your server (more physical RAM)
Cheers
Sid

You can set SQL server to a maximum memory usage, otherwise it just uses memory until the server starts paging. Increasing the page file should fix the problem as well, but then you would be causing the server to page which is a bad thing for performance.
Better would be to move your process off the SQL server, or find a different algorithm.

Hi,
I am creating a design environment so that my users can design certain elements of the program themselves. To do this I require the use of the PropertyGrid control. The elements that I am letting to the user change are sub classes of the Control object. The problem I have is the attributes that the PropertyGrid displays. When I set the SelectedObject of the PropertyGrid to my own element it shows all the attributes for the Control class as well as the elements class.
With this design tool being used by users, I don't want them to see attributes like AllowDrop etc...
How can I suppress some of these attributes and events?
Regards

hi,
i want to create baloon tips which give hints about elements in a html page, like the ones which pop up on the taskbar to say that new updates are available etc. i'm accessing the html document through a iwebbrowserapp object. my created baloon tips should also not disable the focus of the html page. the user has to be able to click on the baloon tip (e.g. to let it disappear) or on an element within the html page.
can anyone give me some hints how to realize this?
thanks for help.

Hi,
I have a DataGrid full of data which I would like to print. The columns and data are different depending on what query is run by the user. What way can be used to get this data into a printpreview screen to print or just print it straight to the printer?
Thanks for any help.
regards,
