Open the properties for the connection that you are using in Visual Studio. There you will see the provider and connection string.

Otherwise connectionstrings.com[^] is good for connectionstrings.

OleDb is the preferred provider for Access.

Thanks for the help,

I really appreciate it.

I shall try that outbut for now I have found a way slightly around the problem.
I have created a system odbc object that links to the .mdb file and then linked to it through odbcconnection. This has worked fine for now but I'll still try doing it the other way as i wont have to create odbc objects on each machine its to be installed on.

thanks again

Hi,
i've created a setup project and it works fine. Now i want to retrieve the installation path because i need to set it as current directory for the windows service i've created. How can i do it?
I need to pass through windows registry (how?) or exists a variable or a property which i can read?

Thank you all!

[TARGETDIR] is the property which contains the installation directory.

You can add registry keys via the installer.

As someone pointed out in the past few days, best practice is to use absolute paths.

To obtain the path you can access the installation path using the Windows Installer SDK in your service, that is what you are asking correct? However AFAIK this should work:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location

I'm trying to query the registry on a remote server to verify a value. using the code

<br />
RegistryKey RemoteKey;<br />
                                         string RemoteComputer = LabName + "isp0001";<br />
                                         RemoteKey = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RemoteComputer);<br />
                                         string value = RemoteKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Twrap\\Packages\\Completed", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree).GetValue("1.3", 0).ToString();<br />
<br />

When i run it i see this:

A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in LabMonitor.exe
A first chance exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in LabMonitor.exe

and the exception message is: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Please help Smile | :)

You're bound to get that when you chain together calls without first checking the return values. I'd assume that OpenSubKey is failing, but you should step through and check it yourself, and write more defensive code in future.

Hello Steven,
either the RemoteKey is null or
the "RemoteKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Twrap\\Packages\\Completed", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree)" is null

change your code from:

RegistryKey RemoteKey;<br />
string RemoteComputer = LabName + "isp0001";<br />
RemoteKey = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RemoteComputer);<br />
string value = RemoteKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Twrap\\Packages\\Completed", RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree).GetValue("1.3", 0).ToString();

to:

RegistryKey RemoteKey;<br />
RegistryKey RemoteSubKey;<br />
string value;<br />
string RemoteComputer = LabName + "isp0001";<br />
RemoteKey = RegistryKey.OpenRemoteBaseKey(RegistryHive.LocalMachine, RemoteComputer);<br />
if (RemoteKey != null)<br />
{<br />
     RemoteSubKey = RemoteKey.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Twrap\\Packages\\Completed",RegistryKeyPermissionCheck.ReadSubTree);<br />
     if (RemoteSubKey != null)<br />
     {<br />
          value = RemoteSubKey.GetValue("1.3", 0).ToString();<br />
     }<br />
}<br />
if (value != null && value.Length>0)<br />
{<br />
   //The SubKey exist do your staff with the value<br />
}

Breaking it down will just help you work out where the problem is. It won't change that you are making a call which is returning null, and not checking it.

i broke it down some more and narrowed to problem down to the string "value" i made value an object datatype and it now works.

this is the problem

Create a User class. This class should at least contain the following fields:
User ID
Password
First Name
Last Name
E-mail Address
Status - valid values are 'Inactive', 'Active', 'Deleted'
Define constructors that accept the following parameter lists:
All parameters: User ID, Password, First Name, Last Name, E-mail Address, Status
User ID, Password and E-mail Address
User ID and Password Only
** The status field should be initialized to 'Active' upon creation
** Constructors 2 and 3 should use a constructor initializer

Define read-only properties that return the following:
IsActive – whether or not the account's status is active
FullName – a concatenation of the account's first and last names
Define additional properties that behave as follows:
UserID
Set operation should ensure the user id does not start with a digit and should only update the user id field if the given value is valid
Get operation just returns the user id
Password

pls help me... Cry | :((

just notify me through my email...

every homework request comes with a sob story. This is really straight forward. If you try to do it yourself and you need help with specific things, that's different, but for you to just post your homework and hope someone will do it is, frankly, kind of rude.

So, I ask again, which specific bits are confusing you ? Do you want to ask some specific questions to help you in approaching this task ?

Which part of your (pretty simple) homework is confusing you ? This is a basic exercise in OO. We never do homework, but this in particular, is pretty vital for you to understand, and really not hard.

I would guarentee that any text you've been assigned will cover all you need to know to do this.
