He is being polite, and you're being lazy. You can find out what port Google expects by Googling for "SMTP port gmail".

Good luck Smile | :)

Watch your tone there, Christian Graus has been a member at codeproject for years, with over 50,000 posts and 30 articles, his Fixture/Legend status has been earned.

You are a firstly and obviously a beginner and new to programming, you're putting in NO effort to make your system functional other then expecting your work handed to you.

I'll be less polite then others, get the f*** off your ass and go learn to use Google, and if you can't find your answer there then guess what, it's time to find a different f***ing profession, one that is more suited to your (lack of) intelligence.

How's that for polite, buddy?

Not much, I'm afraid.

I could have circumvented then filter, but I didn't feel it appropriate.

Those responses truly get to me, especially when geared towards people with high post/article counts who have contributed more then enough for others. I knew zilch about programming before I stumbled my butt onto this site, and learned from various tutorials and posts before I began to post myself.

So retorts like that, insulting from people from whom I've directly (or indirectly) learned off of comes as a direct insult to me.

Yes, you and I both don't like what was said.

However, if I would want to call someone impolite, I would still try and do so in a polite way if such is possible at all.

Transparent Pictureboxes

I have a class called "Card" (as in a deck of cards), which extends the PictureBox class. Now the picturebox is the size of the image (150X215). When you mouse over the card it "hovers" (its Y location decreases 20 pixels) and is supposed to show part of the card underneath it. However this does not happen. See this picture: http://img199.imageshack.us/i/cardsj.jpg/[^]

I've done this in the OnLoad event of the Card class:

this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);
this.BackColor = Color.Transparent;

But it doesn't work (as you can see in the picture). I found this article: http://www.codeproject.com/combobox/TransListBox.asp[^]

But how do I do this in C#?

BTW the images are transparent png's.

Using pictureboxes for this, is a little insane. Just draw your cards onto your form in your paint event.

I've changed it from PictureBox to Panel and added this:

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs pe)
{
    base.OnPaint(pe);

    pe.Graphics.DrawImage(this.card_image, new Point(0, 0));
}

But it's still not transparent. Do you want to look at my code?

Christian Graus7-Jul-09 5:52

7-Jul-09 5:52

No, I want you to do what I suggested. DON'T put the images inside a control, draw them on your form directly, in your paint event.

Hi Guys,

I am DataReader to get data from DB and dump the data into Excel sheet using XML's.
but,as the data reader holds the data for entire row, i am unable to get the data for other cells.

from datareader, i am getting <b>txt1, dt1, dt2 </b>in a single row, but i have to export this data to excel in multiple rows,
like

<pre>if (CurTaskNode.ReadFormat == "ColumnbyColumn")
                                                                  { for (int iCol = 0; iCol < lengthHeader; iCol++)
                                                                        {

                                                                              // Checking whether the Header data exists or not
                                                                              if (CurTaskNode.HeaderData[minCol] != "")
                                                                              {
                                                                                    //if (!(excelworksheet.Cells[CurTaskNode.DATA_MIN_ROW + minRow, CurTaskNode.DATA_MIN_COL + minCol]).Locked)
                                                                                    //{

                                                                                    // Assigning the Value from readerto   to the particular cell in excel sheet

                                                                                                excelworksheet.Cells[CurTaskNode.DATA_MIN_ROW + minRow, CurTaskNode.DATA_MIN_COL + minCol] = values[iValueIndex];
                                                                                                iValueIndex++;

                                                                                    //}

                                                                              }
                                                                              minCol++;
                                                                        }
                                                                        minRow++;
                                                                  }
</pre>

so, xml has 2 tasks namely projdata, projduration, so for the first task it should take the data and put in excel cell( 1,1 ) and in second task it should place it excel (10,2) and (10, 3)

<   <Reference>
                  <SheetName>Setup_View</SheetName>
                  <TaskName>SubProjectName</TaskName>
                  <TaskName>ProjectDuration</TaskName>
            </Reference> >

pleasee help me in modifying the code??
Thanks Ramm

So you are saying that you can succesfully connect to the device and receive its data?

If so, what is your reason to think the data is not correct?

If you're getting junk characters when you're supposed to be getting nice looking text, you've most likely got the communication parameters wrong, like baud rate, stop bits, data bits, parity, handshaking, yada, yada, yada, ...

Hello,
I need to make some few update statements in my C# code (ORACLE database). The problem is that I can't keep it as stored procedure (statement must be in C# code).

My question is: do I have to commit this statement somehow ? In stored procedure there wouldn't be any problem but I'm not sure what to do with SQL statement in C# code

regards,
S.W.

If you're running your code inside a transaction all you need do is call Commit on the transaction to commit the current transaction.

Hi ,

Im using following code to get gradient color to my form background but when ever i resize(maximize) it is getting flickering. Any thoughts to get rid of this?

Brush brush; Rectangle rct;


rct = new Rectangle(0, 0, this.ClientSize.Width, this.ClientSize.Height);

Color obj = Color.FromArgb(45, 132, 198);

brush =
new LinearGradientBrush(
rct,
Color.White, obj,
LinearGradientMode.BackwardDiagonal);

e.Graphics.FillRectangle(brush, rct);

In Form resize

this.Invalidate();
