Hi,

How can I connect a network printer to a user session via C#???

For example:
I want to connect "\\intranet\phaser" to my current user session and show up as a network-based printer in my local Printers and Faxes folder.

you can actually use WMI to install a network based printer.
Here is an example of how it is done using VB script
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/resources/qanda/dec06/hey1212.mspx[^]

To access WMI in C#, you need to access the System.Management namespace.

If you are stuck post back here again.

Thanks, but I got it. Here is what I did:

[DllImport("winspool.drv")]
public static extern bool AddPrinterConnection(string pName);
[DllImport("winspool.drv")]
public static extern bool SetDefaultPrinter(string printerName);

bool result = AddPrinterConnection(@"\\server\printer");
bool resultdef = SetDefaultPrinter(@"\\server\printer");

Am getting really tired searching this.
Can somebody help me with this?
What needs to be done is the editable gridview. on
GridView1_RowUpdating(object sender, GridViewUpdateEventArgs e)
{
dsGrid = (DataSet)Cache["MyGrid"]; [dsGrid is populated with the grid before update]
}
I want to get the newVal when it is entered into the dataset and finally update the entire dataset by passing it to a stored proc.

Am not able to find the newVal and oldVal. I have gone thru msdn and there are Ordereddictionary, oldVal, newVal, key. All of these give me null values.

If you have any other suggestion, please help. I dont want to update row by row opening connection to the db everytime.

Any good suggestion is welcome.

Thanks

How do I save Image with a different resolution?

How do I save Image with a different resolution?
I am using Image.Save(...)
I think it might have to do with Image.PropertyItems and using SetPropertieItem, but I am only finding info on id, length, value, and type.

I haven't done much with the System.Drawing namespace, but a quick look and I found the SizeConverter Class.

I tried this...
Bitmap b = new Bitmap(currentImage);
b.SetResolution(150, 150);
b.Save(saveImageDialog.FileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Tiff);

and it didn't work, but I don't know why.
I will look at the size converter class. Thanks.

I think that it worked just fine, but it didn't do what you throught that it would do. The SetResolution method does set the resolution of the image, but what you want to do is to change the size of the image.

Create a new Bitmap object with the size that you want. Create a Graphics object for that bitmap using the Graphics.FromImage method. Use the DrawImage method to draw your image onto the bitmap with the desired size.

Ok, this problem involves C#, some web hosting knowledge, and a bit of ingenuity. basicly (and this probably sounds mad) i'm trying to write a chat program, but ive only got free hosting which only allows http access. i dont have a webserver and i dont want to pay for hosting. so i want something that basicaly can connect to a server via http (or ftp), write to and/or read from a file, and process it to turn it into messages.

solve that one!!!!

by the way frixoft is my freeware distribution website
