I don't understand your line:
Response.Write(stmDetailData = DWGControl);

I think it should be instead:
Response.ContentType = "application/dwg";
Response.BinaryWrite(stmDetailData.ToArray());

Best regards,

You should look into the TimeSpan object.

TimeSpan timeSpan = DateTime.Now.Subtract(new DateTime(2008, 10, 3));

To get the whole number of hours, its as simple as int hours = timeSpan.Hours

If you want to get the total hours, double totalHours = timeSpan.TotalHours

If you're unclear on any of this I recommend taking a look at the documentation or doing a google search on System.TimeSpan

It depends on how you want to do it. The simplest way is:

System.Media.SoundPlayer soundPlayer = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
soundPlayer.SoundLocation = @"c:\chord.wav"; // full path to file
soundPlayer.Play();

Don't forget to call soundPlayer.Dispose() when you're finished with it!

Now check here, that method can only work with .wav file type only? or you can use other files(file size for a wav file is too large).

You may be better off embedding media player. Right click on your toolbox and select Chose Items (you may have to wait a while for the next dialog!). Click on the COM Components tab and scroll down and select Windows Media Player.

Drag and drop (& resize) a WMP onto your form. Set the URL property to point to your file and you're done.

Pass Dataset table to a stored procedure as a parameter

I have a program that allows the user to multi-select categories. The control is bound to a dataset table. When the user clicks the get data button, I have to pass the selected categories to a SQL Server stored procedure and limit products to the select categories.

The data is in a table in memory. I know I can loop through the rows of the data table and create some sort of a list and pass it as a varchar(max) parameter to the Store Procedure and parse it. Is there a more efficient method? A method that does not involve looping.

you are doing a your way thing i don´t imagine what it is.

i think you are using 1 varchar(max) column instead of 8 whatever columns.
you put all string in that varchar(max) and use "," to separate strings, isn´t thats right?!? so you need to loop to get them after.

i don´t use that, i add more columns and leave some empty if required, but you can do that don´t know if runs faster!

i heard of that in sql forum keep that way it´s ok to me. D'Oh! | :doh:

Hi All

Finally got it on below link

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8c6yea83(VS.85).aspx

The correct way is

SendKeys.SendWait("{+}"); //for typing plus
SendKeys.SendWait("{_}"); //for typing underscore

For this spent more than five hours ... great

The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process

Alan Balkany3-Oct-08 6:51

Hi all,

I'm testing an application by writing bitmaps to a temporary file. I thought it would be neat to have an application that monitors this file and updates its picture whenever the file changes.

I use FileInfo to get the last write time, and if it's changed, I make a new Bitmap with the file's contents and display it. The file is never opened. Sounds simple.

The problem is the system thinks the file is in use, and won't let me overwrite it. It says: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." But I never open the file, and just use it temporarily to get the last write time and make a bitmap.

How can I make Windows realize the file isn't being used in between samples?

Here's the relevant code:

public void monitorFile()
 {
     while (!Form1.done)
     {
         fi = new FileInfo(fname);
         DateTime dt = fi.LastWriteTime;

         if (lastWrite < dt)
         {
             lastWrite = dt;
             parent.showBitmap (new Bitmap(fname));
         }

         fi = null;
         Thread.Sleep(3000);
     }
 }

Thanks!
Alan

Maybe this "another process" is you! Always make sure you closed all opened files in your project.

But the file is never explicitly opened. It's hard to close a file that was never opened.
