ok.. the ping said "using tnsnames to resolve blah blah blah..." as far as i know these tools do not look at the sqlnet.ora. did you configure the naming methods (second option in the net configuration assistant)? default is only local. you must tell it to use tnsnames also.

yea i did set the sqlnet.ora currently it looks like this:

SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)

NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH= (TNSNAMES)

*MODIFY*:OK i FOUND A TEMPORARY SOLUTION!
i found out that you can set
Data Source="[hostname]/[servicename]"....

so i changed the code to DataSource="192.168.2.100/xe"
and i managed to connect via lan........ but still its anoying that i cant make that damn alias to work

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!

if you got any other ideas how to make it work i'll be glad to hear

thanks again

Day of week

how can i find which day of week today is.
i.e if today is Sunday then it should return 1
the problem is if it returns day of week in another language
for e.g in German they call Sunday as sonntag.

As far as I know all calenders in System.Globalization returns DayOfWeek property as a DayOfWeek Enumaration So no language would affect it.

and casting the DayOfWeek to integer gives something like this

Sunday=0,Monday=1,...,Saturday=6

int dayNum=(int)DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek+1;

good luck

I have a C# service that communicates to a USB flash drive. Since my program is smart enough to know when the drive is plugged in and when it's not, I don't need to have XP open the "Autorun" dialog window asking me what application to run when the drive is plugged in.

Can I somehow kill this window from my C# app? I would like to do it this way because if my application is NOT running, I DO want the XP autorun dialog to display giving users the option to install the application.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks,
Barry

You can disable it through registry

    const int DISABLEALL = 0xff;
    const int DISABLEALLEXECPTCDROMS = 0xdd;
    const int DISABLECDROM = 0xb1;

    RegistryKey key = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey("Software").OpenSubKey("Microsoft").OpenSubKey("Windows").OpenSubKey("CurrentVersion").OpenSubKey("Policies").OpenSubKey("Explorer", true);

    key.SetValue("NoDriveTypeAutoRun", DISABLEALLEXECPTCDROMS);
}

code for disable AutoRun for all devices is 0xff

and disable AutoRun for all devices except CD-Roms is 0xdd

disable just for CD-Roms is 0xb1

and the changes would be applied after restart

Good Luck

Adding a total column to datagrid control

Good evening everyone,
As the subject says, I wonder if there's a possibility to add a column to a datagrid control that calculates (count, sum, or average) multiple columns or rows..
Please advise Rose | [Rose]

You have complete control over the datagrid, so yes, there is a way to add a totals column.

One way would be to add it to your query.

SELECT field1, field2, SUM(field3) FROM...

Another way would be to handle the databinding events and populate the column at runtime.

If you had a table with this structure

col1 col2
1 2
10 20
20 30

then SELECT col1, col2, SUM(col1,col2)...

would produce this:
1,2,3
10,20,30
20,30,50

Of course this only gives you the totals for the rows selected. If you want some other sort of total, then adjust the SQL statement, maybe MAX, or AVE, or whatever is needed.

If you are using a DataSet as data source then you can add an expression column to it.

How do I Encrypt Connection String Password in C# Windows Application

Hi
I have this Sql Authentication connection string which has a username and password.
I added this connection string to Application Settings and the corresponding app.config item
was added to my project automatically. But now that i want to access the app.config file
in my codes,ConfigurationSection,ConfigurationManager and other related classes,properties and methods
are not available.I read many articles on this subject but i havent been able to do the encryption so far.
The other question is wether the encryption needs to be done once or should it be done every time
the application runs? Is it be possible to set this encrypted connection as a SqlConnection's connection
string or the assignment must be done prior to encryption?

please help!

thanks

Native docking in Winforms MDI app?

Ravi Bhavnani18-Aug-07 7:27

18-Aug-07 7:27

I have a WinForms MDI app that has a docked navigation panel at the left edge. However, when I create MDI child windows, the main window seems to ignore the presence of the navigation panel and uses its entire client area to layout the child windows. Is it possible to override the MDI container's layout logic and reduce its client area by the space occupied by the navigation panel?

I tried doing this in the main window's Load handler, but it didn't seem to have any effect. (I understand that this would only set the initial client area, which may need to be recomputed in a SizeChanged handler).

private void MainFrm_Load
  (object sender,
   EventArgs e)
{
   // Nav panel test
   NavigatorFrm nf = new NavigatorFrm();
   nf.MdiParent = this;
   nf.Dock = DockStyle.Left;
   nf.Show();
   this.ClientSize = new Size (this.ClientSize.Width - nf.Width, this.ClientSize.Height);
}

Thanks,

If still anyone is looking for this, just override the control's DisplayRectangle property. Just mentioned as I was looking for the same till a few days ago.

That is a nice article you linked to. I am wondering why it was voted down a bit... It may be an older article from 2002, but the information looks still useful.
