Try the SQL/ADO forum for more info.
BUT here's what I have done:
ODBC - Easy to do in C#, there are tons of article here. Worst part is the DSN as you eithe rhave to manually provision it OR use on of the autmation techniques you find on CodeProject - and trust me when I say there are a few. You can use this with MySQL, or other non Microsoft DBs as opposed to delving into the C based APIs. If your app is running on say Linux this might be a good option.
OLE DB - Not really for your relational databases per se, but if you have data stores like Excel or other spreadsheets, or office files, it works great and again pretty easily once you know the finer configuration points.
SQLClient - If you are using SQL Server then this is probably the best route because of the inherent support.
All of the options Odbc, OleDb, and SqlClient have a similar data model. You should be able to find code here, of course on MSDN, and throughout other sites.
Good luck

Hi all C# Gurus,
Is it possible to rotate images using GDI or anything else.
If yes (it must be) then please guide me through the process.
Also, it would be nice if anyone can tell me how to read from XML files.
Or alternately, please let me know any article on the same which i have surely missed .
Thanks in advance.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hello!!
Well about rotate images i know a library in C# where you can draw many figures and insert images and you can rotate, scale and a lot more it's pretty cool:

An easy way to draw rotated image is to use transformations:
Graphics g = ...;
g.RotateTransform(angle);
g.DrawImage(...)
if you want to rotate around any point, you can use matrix.
Matrix m = new Matrix();
m.RotateAt(angle, new PointF(x, y));
g.Transform = m;
g.DrawImage(...);

Hi,
Can you please specify what did you mean by 'currently open project'? Do you want to know the physical path in Visual Studio .Net? or when you are running the application?

Hi gurus,
I have an automation add-in created using C# for Excel, in which I am
exposing a number of functions. Is there any way I can add help-text
the way excel does for other categories like Financial, Statistical,
etc.
The place I want my help-text to be available is in the
Insert->Function. Here, we can select a category and function. The
corresponding help text is displayed. Now, my automation add-in is
also listed in this categories. I want help text to be displayed when a
user selects my add-in and functions in it.
I tried the MacroOptions method, but it is raising an exception.
This is the code I tried (I tried both early binding and late binding):
early binding:
code:
_excelApplication.MacroOptions("Report_Alloc", "custom description", Missing.Value,
Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value, "Report.Report", Missing.Value, Missing.Value, Missing.Value);
Exception Message: "Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A03EC."
StackTrace " at Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application.MacroOptions(Object Macro, Object Description, Object HasMenu, Object MenuText, Object HasShortcutKey, Object ShortcutKey, Object Category, Object StatusBar, Object HelpContextID, Object HelpFile)\r\n at .......
late binding:
code:
object[] parameters = new object[10];
parameters[0] = "Report_Alloc";
parameters[1] = "Some sample description...";
parameters[2] = Missing.Value;
parameters[3] = Missing.Value;
parameters[4] = Missing.Value;
parameters[5] = Missing.Value;
parameters[6] = "Report.Report";
parameters[7] = Missing.Value;
parameters[8] = Missing.Value;
parameters[9] = Missing.Value;
_excelApplication.GetType().InvokeMember("MacroOptions", BindingFlags.InvokeMethod | BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance, null, _excelApplication, parameters, new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US"));
Exception Message: "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
StackTrace " at System.RuntimeType.InvokeDispMethod(String name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Object target, Object[] args, Boolean[] byrefModifiers, Int32 culture, String[] namedParameters)\r\n at System.RuntimeType.InvokeMember(String name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object target, Object[] args, ParameterModifier[] modifiers, CultureInfo culture, String[] namedParameters)\r\n at ......
Inner Exception Message: "MacroOptions method of Application class failed"
Any help would be appreciated.....

Does anyone of you can tell why the following code:
private void HandleKeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
char c = e.KeyChar;<br />
<br />
if(c == (short)Keys.Back)<br />
{<br />
e.Handled = true;<br />
SendKeys.Send("{LEFT}");<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
}
works in common textBox but it doesn`t work in richTextBox?
In textBox line e.Handled = true; stops the backspace key action and only action after pressing bakcspace key is move the cursor to left (SendKeys.Send("{LEFT}");).
In richTextBox it`s taken double action. e.Handled = true; code doesn`t block backspace key action so:
1) first it deletes character (backspace key do it - it isn`t block)
2) second it moves the cursor to left (like SendKeys.Send("{LEFT}"); code do)
Can anyone figure out what`s wrong with it?
|
|
|
|
|
Try this
private void richTextBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode.Equals(Keys.Back))
{
e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
SendKeys.Send("{LEFT}");
return;
}
}
private void textBox1_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
{
if (e.KeyCode.Equals(Keys.Back))
{
e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
SendKeys.Send("{LEFT}");
return;
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
It`s working 
Thank you very much 
But code
e.SuppressKeyPress = true; I turned into e.Handled = true;

Hello!

Hello!
I have wrote a code in which i m trying to hide the Notification icon when i click on the context menu (which pops on that icon). BUt in this manner two events fire. One which is my event written in the code(which works according to my requirement) and other is the Windows own event, which is Taskbar Popup menu. which always seems bad. if i call any messagebox after that fired events, the windows event hide but i don't want to show message box. Please help me.

Hi,
Sorry to disappoint you, but i wanted to ask my own question in this.
Are you able to detect when the user is clicking on the window in the taskbar?
Actually, i have made a program in which i have made the FormBorderStyle as None. This prevents the system menu to appear when i click on the window in the taskbar.
So, i wanted to figure out a way in which i could detect a click on the taskbar window and display the menu manually.
Please let me know, if you happen to know about this.
Thanks in advance.

I think, i am getting your problem.
See, when you pop-up the message box, the event is still being fired and it still shows the taskbar menu too, but the message box removes the focus and hence makes the taskbar menu disappear.
Secondly, the fact that the taskbar menu is appearing shows that you are able to hide the icon successfully, but somehow another event is being generated which is being sent again.
I am not sure about how this is happening, but i guess, you can refer to this article[^] for more details.
Also, i hope, you are using the NotifyIcon control. It saves a lot of time.
I hope this helps.

I think this will solve your problem :
try {
int port = FindUnusedPort(IPAdress.Any);
}
catch (SocketException) {
// no free ports
}
...
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
...
public int FindUnusedPort(IPAddress localAddr) {
for (int p = 1024; p <= IPEndPoint.MaxPort; p++) {
Socket s = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork,
SocketType.Stream,
ProtocolType.Tcp);
try {
s.Bind(new IPEndPoint(localAddr, p));
s.Close();
return p;
}
catch (SocketException ex) {
// EADDRINUSE?
if (ex.ErrorCode == 10048)
continue;
else
throw;
}
}
throw new SocketException(10048);
}
Cheers

I want help in opennig only one child file at a time. My application irritates me when there are too many child forms open.
I added this code (on all the menu items) to open only one, but the problem is that, I can't open another child while there is a child active. How do you control that ?
Interfaces - Is the folder Name where all forms are located
frmPerson - is the child form (requered form to open)
private void mnuManagePerson_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (Interfaces.frmPerson.ActiveForm.ActiveMdiChild == null)
{
Form frmchildfrmPerson=new Interfaces.frmPerson();
frmchildfrmPerson.MdiParent = this;
frmchildfrmPerson.Show();
}
}

Make the base class of your child form to implement the singleton pattern

How do i manipulate hashtables in c# ? i could store objects into hastables but i get problem while retrieving them back.
i tried this :
<br />
Dictionary<string, string> openWith = <br />
new Dictionary<string, string>();<br />
[here i intend replace "string" with my own object type]
but it failed,
may be because it failed even when i tried to include this
using System.Collection.Generic;
it says like "are you missing any assembly reference?"
BTW, just like we have vectors in C++, what's the equivalent container in C# ?
