An Access database has a limit of 64 concurrent connections. If it a web application you would typically never come close to this with as few as 50 users. Each connection lasts only a few milliseconds, so mostly there are only a few connections open.

What kind of performance issues are you facing?

Thank you for the reply

The error message I am getting is

could not update:database is currently locked by admine on machine 'machine name':Microsoft Jet Database Engine.

I was told that access is not a good database when it confronts multiusers.
Thats why I am planning to move other opensource databases.

in access What is the maximum number of users who can perform operations on the same table AT THE SAME TIME.

There is no locking of a table when reading it, so any number of users may read the same table at once.

Several users may update the same table, as long as they do not update the same records. Updates to records that are locked are normally delayed until they are unlocked, and the user hardly notices the delay.

my application is still on the developement stage .I fear that access may cause some problem in cuncurrency control (also i heard that there is a possible chance of database getting corrupted).

Thats why i am considering mySQL or interbase .What about these database.Mainly i dont want to spent money on database.

You should use FireBird. The DataBase is OpeSource and you can use it in your programm for free. There is also a managed provider for FireBird here:

http://firebird.sourceforge.net/index.php?op=files&id=netprovider

And with the MultiGenerationArchictecture of FireBird, there is no locking Smile | :)

I love FireBird Smile | :)

And also mySql seems to be very fast.but does not have features like stored procedure,trigger ets.

FireBird is an OpenSource project based on den OpenSource-Code of Borland Interbase 6.0. Because of this, FireBird is mostly used by devolopers of Borland Delphi and C++ Builder.

In my opinion FireBird ist faster because of the features that MySQL doesn't have like StoredProcedures, triggers etc. And FireBird supports transactions. This is a must have feature today and MySQL only supports transactions with InnoDB.

As I said, a lot of Borland Developers use it in commercial applications.

FireBird 1.5 is the latest stable release of FireBird. You can downlaod it here:

http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_download

FireBird 2.0 is still in development (alpha) and will have more enhancements.

Hi all!

Could anybody give me an example of following:

1) Main program in C# that calls function Foo(Handle_of_My_Form) declared in my dll.

2) Dll in C++ with implementation of Foo that just calls PostMessage(Handle_of_My_Form, WM_USER, 0, 0).

3) Finally, main program catches this messages and show MessageBox "All right! I've caught it!".

Please, help - I need to do this task as soon as possible.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. But in spite of setting the contextMenu for the tree view control, I am not able to see the menu upon right-click.

Sorry if my question is silly. I still do not understand how to associate this Menu to the right-click of the tree view item.

Hello

You can try the next code:

uint	i = 0xABCDEF12;
byte[]	bytes = new byte[4]
	{
		(byte) (i & 0xFF),
		(byte) ((i >> 8) & 0xFF),
		(byte) ((i >> 16) & 0xFF),
		(byte) (i >> 24)

TreeNode leftClick with mouse

Hi,

When the treeView control's nodes are right-clicked,
the selectedNode of the treeView won't be changed unless
it is a left-click mouse event.

My problem is that I associated context menu to the tree
nodes, so user just right click the node to use the context
menu, however the selectedNode isn't the node that the context menu
is launched.

So how can I set the selectedNode to the node that is right-clicked ?

Thanks

Subscribe to the MouseDown event of the TreeView and do this

if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right)
{
	Point point = new Point(e.X, e.Y);
	TreeNode node = treeView.GetNodeAt(point);
	if (node == null)
             return;
	treeView.SelectedNode = node;

Hi,

I can't copy and paste plain from other sources into the RichTextBox control in C# application, but the TextBox control can, why ??

And is it possible to directly copy the stuff (e.g. image, text, table) from MSWord 2003 to the RichTextBox control ?

Thanks

You can only copy Text from Word. You can't copy tables or images because Word objects are not support by the RTB.

Maybe you know Excel 2003 enables you to set xml maps using menu command.You can select route,data/xml/xml source….,then the xml souce panel window will be displayed in the right screen.And you set xml maps by using click the xml maps button. So the problem is I want to use csharp code instead of this UI produce.
I try to find a event or a funcation in the Excel SDK. But I complete loss of hope, however the problem is very necessary and important.Can help me how to coding? Thank you very much!!
