Thanks for the reply. I cannot handle all the painting inside paint event handler, because reversible rectangles must be drawn inside mouse eventhandlers.

I am attaching all the code (although it is long), please let me know what modifications I have to make.

Hi,

what is it that would make it impossible to do all painting in a Paint handler ?

you can have one Rectangle (say rubberRect) and one boolean class member
(say showRubberRect), have your mouse handlers modify those variables AND call
Invalidate(), and have your Paint handler paint the rubber band (if showRubberRect
is true). That would be a clean approach that follows both rules; and it would work.

About fancy XOR drawing: if you manage to do it in a mouse handler, you could
do it also in a Paint handler.

For the kind of things you want to achieve, it may be wise to set up a
double-buffering scheme.

In the code that I have attached to my previous message I used Invalidate method inside button click event hadler(after messagebox.show statement). If I remove this statement partial rectangle is visible. if I keep it thewhole rectangle is erased after I close the MessageBox.

When I minimise and then maximise, then also rectangle is erased. I am not able to find a solution to this problem and breaking my head since yesterday. Any help to overcome this problem willbe highly appreciated.

Hi,

yes, for all events, if you add a handler programmatically
say with someEvent+=new EventHandler(myHandler);
you can specify the same handler over and over.

if you add a handler through Visual Designer, you can also choose the handler's
name.

And if that handler then needs to differentiate based on the specific control,
it should investigate its first argument ("object sender").

SQL connection timeout

Hi.

I'm writing an application that it connect to a SQL Server 2000 database. For testing I have 2 PC running Windows XP and in one of them I'm running SQL Server 2000.
When I run the application in the same PC where SQL is running the application works fine, but trying to connect from another PC it throws an exception connecting to the database. This is what I have:

My connection string:

string source = "Server = DEC-DEMIAN; Database = Security; User ID = Terminal2;" +<br />
                  "Password = 123; Trusted_Connection = False;";

Trying to connect from another PC it fails, thowing: "...SQLException: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding".

I can't figure out what I missed to configure in SQL Server to be able to get remote connections. I have checked Server Properties -> Connections in SQL and it's ok.

Any help will be apreciatte.

Thankx

Demian.

I'm not really sure exactly what you're trying to accomplish here, but I think this code below might suit you better:

<br />
string[] arr = new string[dt.Rows.Count * dt.Columns.Count];<br />
int i = 0;<br />
int j = 0;<br />
foreach (DataRow dr in dt.Rows)<br />
{<br />
    j = 0;<br />
    foreach (DataColumn dc in dt.Columns)<br />
    {<br />
        arr[i] = dr.ItemArray[j].ToString();<br />
        j++;<br />
        i++;<br />
    }<br />
}<br />

The results of this would be an array structured as:
[0] = row1 col1
[1] = row1 col2
[2] = row1 col3
[3] = row2 col1
...

Hope that helps, if it doesn't be a little more clear on what you're trying to accomplish and maybe we can come up with something better.

do ToString() on that and it should give you that, I think.

DateTime.Now just represets the current date as a DateTime object. So you can have your own instance and still use DayOfWeek

You bet. Yes it can, you can do something like this:

DateTime DateT = new DateTime(1, 3, 3);<br />
MessageBox.Show(DateT.Day.ToString());

And that will display the Day of the week of any date you specify

Well, you should parse the Year, Month, and Date from the field, drop them into variables and then drop them into your DateTime object, and then return the Day of the week. Does this answer your question?

DateTime DateT = new DateTime(Year, Month, Date);
MessageBox.Show(DateT.Day.ToString());
