I'm assuming you use a toolstrip for this

if so you can do this very easaly

just select the toolstrip and then in the tasks window (the little arrow on the upper right corner of the control or the gray area under the properties window) select 'embed in toolstripcontainer' then just put the toolstripcontainer dock property on fill.

after this the user can move the toolstrip around the form (all controls added to the form must be in the toolstripcontainer)

the 'gripstyle' property of the toolstrip has to be set to 'visible'

trying switching off docking
switchimg off auto size then move the tollstrip to where you wish it to be and then use the anchors.
This works with tools trips dont know about the containers though.

I've tried both emails you send me but they don't work
can you provide me with an hotmail, google, yahoo mail account
those are the safest and generally never cause any problems

Hi all
Just need some advice and help with the issue of Threads..Just come over from VB6 and not to sure about this one..

I have an application which waits for HTTP requests which is the main process. Once a request is recieved a thread is started to do something..on the Main Form i have a status Textbox which i want to keep up to date with the HTTP requests and also when the thread has finished etc.

Please advise as to how i may achieve this

TIA

Since all Controls normally get created by the main thread (aka "GUI thread")
and should be handled only by the thread that created them (they are not
thread-safe), one needs a special technique to access them from another thread.

The Control class has some members to support this: the InvokeRequired property
and the Invoke() or BeginInvoke() methods. I suggest you read up on these;
examples are plenty on CodeProject. There is one in my Sokoban article (that's
in C# but the concept is exactly the same).

Smile | :)

Isn't there a selected tab property ? Assuming you're asking about winforms.

indeed there is

and the code would look like this

tabcontrolname.selectedtab = tabpagename

-- modified at 7:57 Tuesday 31st July, 2007

you could also use selectedindex but then this will stop working properly if you change the order of the tabs

Hello,

first of all I am new to .net and don't know much about connection pooling. I have read few articles from .net but still don't get answer for few questions.

my boss came to me and told me to do some research on connection pooling and write application that will have six buttons. three button will get connection from pool and other three button will close this connection one by one. I wanted to put one more button to destroy all connection that works fine using Clearallpools but clearpool doesn't work. I can post code here if anyone want to look at it.

Thank you.

.NET handles it's own connection pooling, you should not write your own.

thank you for your reply.

I am not writing my own pooling, just want to know how can I handel pooling and monitor it. I just want to know how it works and what type of problem I can get if we develop project using connection pooling. it will be great if someone tells me if there are any other connection type available for .net.

Hi,

I hope first you are using a support pooling database (e.g. MS SQL), you can think about pooling as objects that are always ready to answer your (client) connection requests (in case they are available). This is good technique when you have a number of concurrent users. to simplify the issue:

You can enable/disable pooling via ConnectionString ADO.NET 2.0 introduces ClearAllPools http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.clearallpools(VS.80).aspx[^] and ClearPool http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection.clearpool(VS.80).aspx[^] methods to clear the pool.

In addition you will need to read more about Close and Dispose of XxxConnection object (e.g. SQLClient.SQLConnection) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.data.sqlclient.sqlconnection(vs.80).aspx[^]

This article could help http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2004/02/09/connpool.html[^]

hope this helps, best wishes Smile | :)
