Probably it has to do with the connection string. Have you checked it's correct?
See here for more information: ConnectionStrings.com[^]

Hi Luis,
Thanks for your reply. Actually I tried with the correct Connection String, but looks like, only MS Access application can take the password to open the protected Mdb database and not from outside. Becauuse, In the Settings editor in Visual Studio, I used the designer to locate the MS Access database and provided the password to Test Connection, I get error from that designer with the message "Not a valid password".
Is there any possible reason for this ?
Regards

Can you remove the password from the database through Access? Are you sure you have the right password? I just created a password protected Access database and the connection strings work fine 
Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\mydatabase.mdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword; is the one I used.

Hi guys,

Thanks in advance

There is nothing special about a Console app, it resembles a Windows app
with a single empty Form, no Controls, and all code executing sequentially
(as if in the Form's constructor or Load event).
You can use all classes you want, do threading, whatever.
Your "GUI" is limited to Console.Write/WriteLine/Read/ReadLine.
Of course, a Console app can also create and show Forms, Dialogs, etc.
There is one thing a Console app cannot do: not show a console at all
(you can hide it, but it will show at start);
If all you need is an app with a command line interface, then you dont want
a Console app, you want a Windows app that does not show its main form, instead
it reads the command line (from Main() parameter or thru Environment.GetCommand...)

Sure - the ADO.NET classes are available to you in a console app, just like a windows one. You'd use the same code in both cases, to run the SQL that alters the table.

Hi all,
My boss wants me to write a small console app that runs at midnight everynight. The app opens up a "job file" (in this case, the job file will have a list of training days that people will be attending), connects to the exchange server (via the admin login?), opens that users calender and inserts that training day into his/her calender. If the user deletes the appointment, the app will create it again....
the only trouble im having is connecting to the exchange server at the "top level" as an admin so i can open a users calender and create/modify their appointments...
Does anyone have any suggestions / controls i can purchase that will help me build this app?
Many thanks,
Will

here is a question for you, at the moment how are you interacting with the Exchange server programmatically ? Are you using the IMAP protocol to access the exchange server.
With regards to purchasing controls, you dont have to. If you use .NET 3.0- 3.5, WCF has web services that can interact with Exchange Server 2003 and 2007. The other thing you can do if you dont want to use the new framework and still use .NET 2.0 then use the Lumisoft DLL.
Here is the link
http://www.lumisoft.ee/lswww/ENG/Products/Mail_Server/mail_index_eng.aspx?type=download
With regards to logging in, my recommendation would see if you can TELNET into the Exchange Server and excute an IMAP login process using the administrator username and password. You will need to google about using TELENT IMAP calls to Exchange Server.
I have used the lumisoft DLL successfully to build an application that interacted with Exchange 2003. So if you need more help then feel free to post more questions.

Hi,
I want to write a 'simple' program that reads a text file and makes the data in this text file available via a serial port. I'm developing a program which reads GPS data from the serial port. For now, I made the GPSDataSource abstract. So, I can read from the file directly, but i want to test the SerialPortGPSDataSource also. I don't have a GPS at home, so a GPS simulator would be great.
I don't want to use any 3rd party programs. I want to be capable of doing it myself. Is there anybody that can point me to some source, info, whatever to get me started, because I 'm googling now for hours and I didn't find any useful (as far as i know).
Thanks!

Hi,
There are some articles here about SerialPort
bridging the gap between a SerialPort and a file should be easy
simulating the timing aspects of a GSM may be more difficult.
there is a freeware null modem emulator called com0com
it creates two virtual COM ports that behave as if interconnected by a null modem,
so you can have your app talk to one of them, and the GSM simulator to the other one.

Hello experts,
My application uses the Settings.settings file defined by VS, along with controls' ApplicationSettings property.
When defining a new setting in the settings file, it is possible to set its type to every type defined in the assemblies referenced by the application, but not the assemblies defined by the application.
My application defines an enumeration, but I cannot use it as a setting type.
Is there any workaround for the problem?
Thanks in advance,
Shy.

I have a form that has a Done button. I set the DialogResult property for the button to "OK". When I click the button, I want the app to close, but nothing happens. What am I missing?

I'm assuming you mean you want to make a messagebox button close the form, not a button on the form itself??!
If you want to make the messagebox button do something then...
DialogResult dr = MessageBox.Show("Text here", "Header Here", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
switch (dr)
{
case DialogResult.OK:
this.Dispose(); //Or whatever
break;
}
If the button is on the form itself. Just double click on it in the designer screen, C# automatically generates everything for you, so all you need to type is "this.Dispose();" in the method.
Hope this helps.
Mark

On the form itself is a property for which button sends the OK, but that's actually just used for pressing enter to click OK. I'm not sure why it wouldn't close, it should. One nasty behaviour in .NET is, if you have a form with an OK button and it has a child with an OK button, pressing OK will close them both. But, obviously, you have the reverse going on. I'd just handle the click, and call the Close() method ( I would NOT call this.Dispose() )

Calling Close() did the trick. I just got done doing a C# version of my persistent string parser, and this was the last thing I had to address before writing an article on. If you're really bored, you can try to find out why I had to do this (calling Close).

I do a terrible job of keeping up with my email notifications, did you resolve the ASP.NET issue you had the other day ?

Which one? There are so many...
Yeah - I got IIS5 straightened out, and can run a ASP page from a .Net wrapper.

If you show the form with ShowDialog() clicking a button closes the dialog and
returns the button's DialogResult.
if you show the form with Show() clicking a button does not close the form;
if it is what you want, you should add a Close() to the button's Click handler.

U must call the form's close method too.

Hello everyone,
I have a control panel which I wish to hide when there is no mouse movement. I have looked into the MainForm_MouseMove and MyTimer_Tick
and tried to detect the mouse move which is used to enable the timer. The timer makes the control panel available for a period of the time and once again the control panel is moved away from the display.
The problem is when I use new System.Drawing.... to draw the control panel, it also create a mouse movement and start displaying the Control Panel again. The control panel practically is displayed all the time as it never get the change to disappear.
Can anyone tell how I can over come this issue?
Thank you very much and have a great day.
