Dear Sirs,
I need my project files to go to the right place. I currently have three projects. Project A depends on Projects B and C, both Class Libraries. Project B has a database file (MDB) in it, which copies properly to Project A's output (either Release or Debug \data) directory. Project C, however, the rogue, has a file in it and it copies to project C (!!)'s output folder. How do I get Project C to cooperate, and send its file (an XNA font file) to Project A working directory?
I wouldn't mind so much Project C copying its Content files to its own directory, but it can't find them from there: when the program runs, Project C uses Project A's active directory, so Project C complains, I can't find my file. I look around, and in Project C's directory, there it is, but the Exception says that it's looking in Project A's active directory.
I hope I have been clear enough. Thanks in advance for your help.
In Christ,
Aaron Laws

In Project C's properties, go to Build Events tab and use a post-build event command to copy the files to the necessary location.

Dear Mr. Nischalke,
Thank you for your prompt reply. I noticed, however, that Project B (the working project which properly copies its database) doesn't have what you described. Why can Project B work and not Project C?? I'll try your suggestion.

I can only assume that VS know to copy the file as a dependency when you add a reference to the project. The properties of the file are probably set to copy to output.

Dear Mr. Nischalke,
Thanks for you help. In both projects, B and C, the files in question are set to
Build action | Content
Copy to output directory | True

If you want further help, drop the Mr. 
I've used commands like this to move files within my project folder structure
copy "$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName)" "../../../Common/$(TargetFileName)"

Hi,
Dll files may be copied to the output directory by setting the Copy Local property of the reference (right click the appropriate reference in solution explorer).
In general any file may be copied by right clicking, selecting properties and setting the Copy to Output Directory property.
Alan.

All well and good but this doesn't help his problem. This will place the files in the bin folder of the project, not copy them to another location, such as another project's output folder.

Dear Mr. N,
I was very hopeful when I read this message, however, the problem-project is already marked True at the property in question. Thanks! I'll keep working on it.

Hi,
I couldn't find exact forum to put this question into so using this forum since it is a C# client. So here is the scenario :
I want to use a File based database in a C# desktop application. The database should be handle upto 5GB of data. Most of that will be due to images. Due to security reasons, I have to save the images in database.
Can someone please tell me some good choices for File based database?
Thanks

Umm, Access? I don't know about handling 5gig of data, but you can check out connectstrings[^]. They list every connection string under sun, which should give you good examples for databases I suppose.

Like Henry said, Microsoft Access[^]. Another option is SQL Server Compact, which is limited to 4Gb per database. Your best bet would be SQLite[^].

Hi
I know this is a simple and silly question to some of you out there, but can someone show me how it is possible to write binary data to a memory stream rather than to write the binary data to either a dat file or to pdf file? You see, I don't want to write or save any data to a file.

yes, it is. And that is linked to the fact that we occasionally read the documentation.
File.Create returns a FileStream, which offers methods such as Write and WriteByte.
MemoryStream is a class with similar functionality, offering methods such as Write and WriteByte.
And that is no surprise, they both inherit from Stream, which ... offers Write and WriteByte.
Also, lots of classes (e.g. Image) can Save to a stream, and don't care whether it is a FileStream, a MemoryStream, or yet some other kind of stream.
So what could possibly be your problem?

I am not that familiar with Memory Stream and Binary Reader and Writer, and thus just need an example to go by. Do you have an example to go by?
|
|

your original post suggested you were familiar with writing binary data to a file.
then you down-voted me, and now you ask about binary reader and writer, which I did not mention, and you ask for examples, of which MSDN, CodeProject and Google are full.
I suggest you now start reading some documentation, while I'm off for lunch.

It isn't in general, but I'm running a bit late. Anyway, it's still too early for supper, and I'm hungry, so it is bound to be lunchtime now.

Hi everybody,
I need to locate on a specific DataGridView row without filtering the grid.
I don't want to use DataGridView.CurrentCell Property Too. Because by using this, I have to check the grid from the first row to the end.
Can any body help me?
Thanks a lot.
