What I do is create objects (instantiated classes) of each item in the combo box, with ToString()'s. I add the objects to the combo box, the combo box shows the string representations of the object. Once I want to read the combo box, the SelectedItem property contains the object, not just the string so I don't have to match up the string to possible objects.
It's quite an elegant way to handle that type of selection.

I have a Dataset that has returned data from SQL Server. I would like to read in what the SQL Server type is for each Column and what the size is. For instance is the column is a nvarchar(20) I would like to be able to find out that the column has a size of 20. Is this possible? I can't seem to figure this out even using the DataColumn.
DataColumn.MaxLength is returning -1.
I tried also SQL Command:
SELECT COL_LENGTH('MyTable','MyColumnName') AS 'MyColumnLength'
it's running fine in SQL Query analyzer but it's returning 0 in C#
Any idea?
thanks

You can use SQLDMO to access specific DB Schema .Add reference to SQLDMO object - can be found under COM tab - add entry named "Microsoft SQLDMO Object Library".
The snippet shows how to get column details for table "Customers" in "Northwind" DB.
<br />
SQLDMO.SQLServerClass sqlServer = new SQLServerClass();<br />
sqlServer.Connect("MYSERVER", "username", "password");<br />
<br />
foreach (SQLDMO.Database db in sqlServer.Databases)<br />
{<br />
if (! db.SystemObject)<br />
{<br />
if(db.Name=="Northwind")<br />
{<br />
foreach( SQLDMO.Table table in db.Tables )<br />
{<br />
if(table.Name=="Customers")<br />
{<br />
foreach(SQLDMO.Column column in table.Columns )<br />
{<br />
Console.WriteLine( column.Name );<br />
Console.WriteLine( column.Length );<br />
Console.WriteLine( column.Datatype );<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
} <br />

Hi ! I am looking for someone who have programmed Irda commnunication port between a Pocket-PC and the Microchip MCP2155. I have found some articles in C++ and some other in C# that doesn't work very well.
I can establish the communication but the transfer of good data is hard to achieve.
Visual Studio 2005, Compact Framework 2.0.
Is there any problem with the new Compact Framework ?
Thank you a lot !

Sounds more like your COM port settings are wrong and/or mismatched. That said, I could neither get my infrared serial port dongle worked reliably on the beta. I recall seeing a bug somewhere related to my issue that could have been the cause.

The Express Editions don't have Setup and Deployment projects. They only support ClickOnce deployment. You can get to the Publish Wizard by clicking on its button on the Publish tab of the Project Designer, which is accessible from the Project menu, Properties menu item.

No idea. I don't use the Express versions and I haven't used ClickOnce deployment yet.

I'm developing a C# application where I need to find out if the left shift key has been pressed down or the right shift key.
I've tried to use the KeyDown event with the following code:
private void KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Control && (e.KeyCode == Keys.D1) && (e.KeyCode == Keys.LShiftKey))
{
//Do stuff here
}
}
I can read the keypresses but I can not see if the left shift key is pressed, only that a shift key was pressed. The e.KeyCode == Keys.LShiftKey doesn't work since it seems that KeyCode don't collect info about which shift that was pressed.
Any help appreciated! Thaks!

Declare the function somewhere inside your class:
<br />
[DllImport("user32")]<br />
public static extern short GetKeyState (Keys VirtKey);<br />
On your KeyDown event, you can check which shift key is pressed in this way:
<br />
bool lshiftpressed = ((GetKeyState(Keys.LShiftKey) & 256)==256);<br />
bool rshiftpressed = ((GetKeyState(Keys.RShiftKey) & 256)==256);<br />

Hi everybody!
Currently I'm developing a simple mail server. It works fine so far, but I have a design issue due to the heavy threading my app uses:
I have a number of SMTPClientThreads, which all may open the same MailBox at the same time to add mail oder query existing data. It looks like this (inside of a SMTPClientThread):
MailBox box = new MailBox("username");<br />
box.AddMail(mail);<br />
box.Save();
new Mailbox() will load the mailbox from an XML file, save everying into a List<Mail> and close the file handle, Save() will write the List back to the XML and save the handle.
Now one or multiple SMTP Clients might want to add or query data from the same mailbox at the same time.
How do I handle this correctly? I've read about the lock statement, but I don't know how to use it correctly in this case.
regards

You could use a static variable as a semaphore that locks the code while doing the update:
static object dummy = 42;
lock (dummy) {
MailBox box = new MailBox("username");
box.AddMail(mail);
box.Save();
}
This will however lock the update of any mailbox, and I suppose that you would rather want to lock only the specific mailbox. That takes some more work, perhaps a hashtable containing one object for each user, so that you could do the lock on an object for a single user.
Well, at least the code above is a step on the way, it will keep the mail server from corrupting the files.

Thanks, that looks okay.
So you suggest to create a Hashtable (or any other list) with variables that will be used to lock the user mailboxes? Something like this?
static Hashtable boxes = new Hashtable();
boxes.Add(user1, 1);
boxes.Add(user2, 2);
...
lock(boxes[userX])
{
MailBox box = new MailBox(userX);
box.AddMail(mail);
box.Save();
}
Do I need to lock anything inside the MailBox-class, or is the lock inside the MailServer class enough?

Yes, something like that. What is most convenient depends on how you manage the users.
As long as the object you lock is unique for the user, that is enough. Any other thread trying to lock the same object will have to wait until it is unlocked.

Okay thanks, that's how I will do it.

I want to show window that it's like open.showmodelessdialog in web application. The second window always on the first window. besides, the first window can be operateed. Modeless Dialog, not mdi.

You can't do it from ASP.NET. It's got to be done using client-side JavaScript. There's no such thing as a modal window in ASP.NET.

I found out the solution.
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
SecondWindow frm = new SecondWindow();
frm.Owner = this;//'this' is the first window's handle.
frm.Show();
}

I m using crystal Reports in C#. Every thing is working fine but when i run that program it gives me following message in a window

you should test againt connection string, i think connection string database server not the same, you not permiss logon server or server name and database name not exist.
Good luck.

Connection string is working fine. I am using access database to create a crystal report in C#
when I run on my machine It is asking for database server
name and logon information. The problem which I understood from this
is that the path is hardcoded in the crystal report and the database
