SQL Server is not a client application it is a SERVER application and therefore requires a completely different installation than the one you are proposing. Look into using SQL Express where you can use an .MDB file on the client.

Then find a bug and fix it.

I would do it like This: Create List array with a struct object. Struct object would hold position like column and row. Every time the search criteria would change list array would update. And I would use Index as next and previous

We set the server name up as an expression variable and then use the variable in the connection within SSRS, works and allows the user to select the server to run against but makes supporting the report difficult.

Hi,

I want to write an application that will be able to resize another application's window.

I've done lots of Googling but have come up empty handed.

Can anyone help me out with a good method to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

Unless the application allows you do that, pop up a message asking the user to resize the window.

Hi,

Assuming:
1. you can identify the window by its handle
2. the window is resizable
3. you're not afraid of a little P/Invoke

you can use SetWindowPos (with option SWP_NOMOVE = 0x0002 and SWP_NOZORDER = 0x0004) to resize the window.

[DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint="SetWindowPos", CallingConvention=CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static extern uint SetWindowPos(IntPtr Hdc, IntPtr hWndInsertAfter,
	int X, int Y, int cx, int cy, uint flags);

This site is aimed at an English audience, and this is hardly advertising. It may even have a reverse effect, as it frustrates the hell out of people.

Your site looks good actually, and you've got a nice list of features there. Have you considered hiring trainees to translate your site and product? You target-audience could grow quite big Smile | :)

--edit--
Removed sig. Said "start learning English", but it translated back to "parasitic". That didn't make it sound like good advice anymore.

My apologies.

I read it!
I hope you feel better now!

Just as a comment I will use 'using' at the top of the file, so as to avoid long.class.name, will use shorter variable name with upper case at the top of each word.
That will increase readability which, in turn, will make the code easier to: understand / debug / maintain!

also I will use the other using to dispose of disposable resouce as is:
using(SqlConnection cnA = new SqlConnection("ConnectionString..."))
{
......
}

this is a lighter syntax than try {} finally {} which makes sure that disposable resource are disposed even in case of exception or misplaced return statement!

hi
add this line to main function to disable CrossThread checks:

Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;

like this:

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Control.CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;

        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

And wait for the app to die at some point? These are 'illegal' cross thread calls and the warning is thown for a reason!
Removing the check just stops that, but doesn't solve the underlying problem. It's easy to fix so that the control is invoked when necessary.

C# Excel: Creating a named range?

17-Dec-09 10:03

How can I create a named range in a C# excel report for cells that aren't lined up next to eachother?

I've seen examples on how to create a named range for consecutive cells (i.e. A1:M1), however the cells I need to name are scattered throughout the report (i.e. A1, H3, J9, S17, etc).

In excel, I could just do this by holding CTRL + click, but how can I do this in c#?

Thanks.

You can Create list of Range insted

List<Range> myrng = new List<Range>(20);
myrng.Add(excelWorksheet.get_Range("A1", "B3"));

and for one cell use Range like this:

Range rng1 = excelWorksheet.get_Range("A1", "A1");

then set property of each in loop
