Ok, now I see where you are going.
I've done this before with XML structures. You "could" serialize the XML data to a single record as a binary stream for that customer. Access supports this, along with SQL Server. You application will determine if each customer needs one or more records to handle the features you need. But this should be easy to figure out.
Using an XML data structure allows for free data structure that can be dynamic.
Depending on your search requirements you may want to index some or all of the data. Without knowing all the pieces I can't advise with authority.
Have you thought about SQL Server Express. It's free, multi user and FAST.
Hope this helps, time for bed.

Do you have a specific User community so that you know this is a good idea?
Most users would just hang themselves with the flexibility. I mean many software developers are not capable of designing schemas properly, what makes you think you want to delegate that responsibility to users?

I understand your point but Microsoft allows their users to organize music/videos/documents/folders like they want to.
Okay, lets say I was creating a photo organizer app. How would a developer design a muti-user application that allows the users to create/edit/organize their photo collections. For instance, what if the user with administrative privileges would want to create a folder that stores all photo's of his aunt's vacation to the Bahammas. He would probably want to name it: Aunts Trip To Bahammas.
No predefined template can acommodate all these variables. 
Thanks for all the input so far!
may your code be error free.
(okay, maybe two lines.)

Add your JavaScript function call to the NavigateUrl property of your control.

Hello,
I have a small application that exposes various behaviors via dialog windows. I want to modify the application so that instead of popping up dialog windows it will simply show a new panel in the main window area.
My idea is to create several Panels to replace the dialog boxes. I want to be able to design these Panels in the designer just like you would design a new form.
The designer doesn't support this, so I must be barking up the wrong tree. I really want to treat each panel separately in the designer rather than just stacking all these panels on the main window (which makes it difficult to see what's going on).
Did I articulate that well enough? Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Is a user control what you are looking for?
Why is common sense not common?

That's exactly what I'm looking for!
Thanks! (I accidentally selected "custom control" which is entirely different and confused my one-track mind).

Hey friends, I have been searching but couldn't find any examples where i can make my custom controls transparent (see through). Is it even possible to do in C#.
thanks
|

Did you try setting the controls backcolor to Color.Transparent?
|
|
|
|
|
I am controlling the paint method but when i set the style in the constructors it does funny thing but still my control is not tranparent
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);
this.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(0, 0, 0);
}
|
|
|
|
|
Isn't (0,0,0) black?
Did you try
this.BackColor = Color.Transparent;
?
|
|
|
|
|
Or pehraphs you could even use the correct overload, with that extra zero for the alpha channel. Which is what you want.
this.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(0,0,0,0);
Also, Color.FromArgb(0,0,0,0) == Color.Transparent; or at least the result is the same.

Can anybody give me link or suggestions on implementing good exception handling mechanism in the C# project. Not just try...Catch block but beyond that.
I have something in mind,
1. Create something like Error Dictionary (resx file) with user-defined Error Codes, Description and build my own error information with user-defined exception class.
2. This class may accept error code or something for generating good exception object, which can be thrown to the consumer.
3. Exception Consumer will then use this object and pass it to Some class, which eventually will display Vista Type task dialog where atleast Title, Main Instruction and Description of the errors will be shown.
Any Inputs are very much appreciated.
Thanks

Why have a method return an error code which you pass to an error code processing method when you can just throw the appropriate exception when it occurs. Your stack trace looks right that way.

Why? Obviously it's an exceptional condition.

Thanks for the reply. Only the thing i want to know is the best design to implement Exception\message Handling, using custom exception classes and resource files contains errors/message keys and descriptions.
Thanks

I represented the data in Crystal Report based on certain conditions. which is stored in a table "abc" .
I used CrystalReportViewer Control and my Crystal Report name is crystalreport1.rpt . and control name is crystalreportviewer1
I have a task to convert that report into pdf file and save into a folder(output) in Drive C: . and also to open that pdf file after creating the pdf.
My question is what will be the C# code to convert Crystal Report into pdf files and stored in that folder of drive C: .

I have converted this code from vb without testing, so please correct any syntax error ...
<br />
DiskFileDestinationOptions DiskOpts = New DiskFileDestinationOptions();<br />
oReport.ExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;<br />
oReport.ExportOptions.ExportFormatType = CrystalDecisions.[Shared].ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat;<br />
DiskOpts.DiskFileName = ExportPath + requiredFilename;<br />
oReport.ExportOptions.DestinationOptions = DiskOpts;<br />
oReport.Export();<br />
crViewer.ReportSource = null;<br />
oReport.Dispose();<br />
oReport = null;<br />
<br />
Response.Clear();<br />
Response.AppendHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=filename.pdf");<br />
Response.ContentType = "application/pdf";<br />
Response.WriteFile(ExportPath + requiredFilename);<br />
Response.End();<br />
<br />
<br />
Response.Redirect(pdffilenameandpath, true);<br />

Is there any dll file needed to convert into PDF
|
|
|
|
|
A few statements from how I run a Crystal Report via a Windows Service:
Defile is a FileInfo indicating the RPT file.
reportfile is a FileInfo indicating the destination for the PDF.
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument crRpt =
new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument() ;
crRpt.Load ( Defile.FullName ) ;
crRpt.SetParameterValue
(
parm.Key
,
parm.Value
) ;
crRpt.ExportToDisk
(
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
,
reportfile.FullName
) ;

I am just learning XML and C# so I appoligize for any inconvience in advance. The program I am working on interfaces with another program that I did not write. I create a XML request for the program to do something and it responds with an XML response that tells me if it was succesful. The problem I have is parsing the response to find out if there are any errors. A basic response looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?qbxml version="7.0"?>
<QBXML>
<QBXMLMsgsRq onError="stopOnErrror">
<CustomerAddRs statusCode="3110" statusSeverity="Error" statusMessage="The name was not valid"></CustomerAddRq>
<VendorAddRs statusCode="0" statusSeverity="None" statusMessage="Vendor succesfully added"></VendorAddRs>
</QBXMLMsgRq>
</QBXML>
The problem I have is that each of the elements could be different, as in this case, there is a VendorAddRs element and a CustomerAddRs element. I have been trying to use the XmlTextReader and XMLDoc to try and check to see if the statusCode is something other than 0.
A lot of the information I have found assumes that you know what element you are looking for. I don't care what the element is (if it's a customerAdd or a VendorAddRs) but really what the statuscode is and what the statusmessage is the code is anything other than 0.
I was thinking that I could just read through the xml and see if the node I'm at has any attributes, and if it does, check the first attibute to see if it starts with "statusCode" but that hasn't worked so far.
If there is an article or a post that someone could point me to, I'd appreciate it, as I have not had any luck finding an article that addresses this.
Thank you so much for your time.
