You may also consider storing all the SQL DB connection information in an XML file instead of hardcoding.

Thanks for you answer pleas how do I do that?

Use System.Xml.XmlDocument in you code to parse the XML document and extract the database name, connection string and other information and save them into your types objects. Use these type objects normally as you do database interaction and transaction.

Hi to all.

I am developing an IE toolbar.

Now I need to know if there is any way to identify status of my Toolbar. i.e. Is My toolbar is enable/disable in IE Which event will fire when Toolbar is disable/enable by user.

Please Help Me.

i have created a windows service using VS2005 and installed it using the installutil.exe. I used the following command to install the service:

installutil /name=MyService /user=<username> /password=<password> <servcieexecutable>

After executing this command I get the output as:

The Commit phase completed successfully.

The transacted install has completed.

But still I can not see the service in services.msc window not Can I see any registry entries for this service. I have admin Privilege on my machine.

Any pointers??

PS: I am using following code to create the service:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections;
using System.Configuration;
using System.IO;
namespace TestService
{
public partial class myService : ServiceBase
{
public myService()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\mcWindowsService.txt",
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter m_streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs);
m_streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
m_streamWriter.WriteLine(" mcWindowsService: Service Started \n");
m_streamWriter.Flush();
m_streamWriter.Close();
}
/// <summary>
/// Stop this service.
/// </summary>
protected override void OnStop()
{
FileStream fs = new FileStream(@"c:\temp\mcWindowsService.txt",
FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter m_streamWriter = new StreamWriter(fs);
m_streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.End);
m_streamWriter.WriteLine(" mcWindowsService: Service Stopped \n"); m_streamWriter.Flush();
m_streamWriter.Close();
}

}
}

Event viewer says:
Service cannot be started. The service process could not connect to the service controller

Have you correctly set the properties of ServiceProcessInstaller and ServiceInstaller1 in your installer class ?

I am really new to this service stuff. I have pasted my code along with the main question. Can you please guide me what i could be missing upon?

Hello
i was doing a project which interacts with the parallel port so i downloaded the source code on

when i run it throws the exception below

"Unable to load DLL 'inpout32.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)"

i didnt install any setup. do i need something to be installed before accessing the parallel port?
i'm using wnndows 2000 professional sp2

Most of your message is missing. There are inpout32,dll files on cP, along with instructions. I had no trouble using them in C#.

That's nice and how is that my problem? The bad spelling and urgent just turns most people off.

Hi I have XP prof. version 2002 with SP 3 installed.

I try to develop an FTP application but i now unsecure about my "FTP-server"

I have installed Internet Information Services (IIS 5.1) and setup and configured as it should be (i think). This is the problem "I think" !

I dont know in first place, can i have a FTP-site on my machine or must i have another machine with Win Server 2003 or 2008 ?

You see - when i log in with my appl. i get the message "user test cannot log in" ALL the time.

I probably got lost in the user account settings ?

Anyone knows ?

With kind regards

Heino

and this is to do with c# in what way?

You have any help to give ?

The application is written in C#

Consult http://learn.iis.net/[^] for information regarding how to setup a secure FTP server and general IIS help. In future you might want to consider posting your questions in the right forum / website so people don't get angry :P

Dave

Thanks for u answer David !

I will get better next time about the forum

And by the way, this user "hopingToCode" i find him/her very rude.

I seen his/hers answer to other people also.

Any way Thanks again !

Hi All,
i need some info regarding c# and vb.net.
which one(c# or vb.net) will be good to kept as front end , back end will be a database for project like school management system or to develop any kind of automation software. i dont know which can be better one to do this kind of project.

Thanks in advance .

The answer to this question is 6 of one half a dozen of the other! It depends on which skill set you have now and going forward.

Thanks

It seems that you need to start with your basics as far as the .net technologies are concerned. So I would recommend you to acquire some knowledge before you start your project by buying some good books on .net and referring online materials.

There is no foolish question, there is no final answer...

Thanks.

They are basically identical. They compile to the same MSIL, and the differences between the languages are minor, and unlikely to affect a project like this. So, go with what you feel comfortable with.
