Hi,
The following should help you:
System.Environment.OSVersion.Platform,
System.Environment.OSVersion.Version
If you want the logged on user, then
There are bunch of other methods and properties in System.Environment that should elicit your interest in the above regard.

Hello,
I have made a database - SQL Server 2000 - to handle some stuff e.g. contacts, orders, etc.
I tried to normalize the database the best that I could and this lead to a lot of tables. For example since the contacts are worldwide, there are 3 tables that each one, hierarchically store country, province, county.
Finally in the table where each contact is contained i just store the ID of the county, and the province and stare would be retrived through the realationships.
Ok, this is just an example, the thing is much more hierarchical and normalized.
I would like to know how can I practically retrive, use, and update data from this database using ADO.NET? I mean, I am a bit confused.
Is there a simple way or is it going to be a mess all do be done from zero?
Thanks for any help.

I don't think there is a quick answer to your question, but I'd be willing to dialog with you about it for a while and share with you my techniques dealing with normalized databases. Beware though, I don't use a lot of what ADO.NET provides--instead, I tend to code client or server side SQL directly, depending on the requirements.
That said, it seems that ADO.NET can handle relationships between tables, as long as you tell it what those relationships are, and it should handle updating records correctly (I think. I've never tried this). [personal comment--I've never used this feature because I think it is really stupid to duplicate the database model in the code: what if you want to change the DB model?]
Also, have you set up foreign keys so that deletes and updates are cascaded? This can save you a lot of programming time.
Also, if you can provide some specific examples of what you are trying to do, it might be easier to consider what the different solutions are and their benefits/drawbacks.
Finally, hierarchical architectures are a PITA. Since you seem to only have a three level hierarchy, I think the best thing to do is to deal with the individual insert/update/delete/select statements. I had to create a model for a satellite company once that allowed basically infinite drill down in a hierarchy. Argh.

How can Create a binary registry entry (Binary Value) to save a login or access password?
Jassim Rahma
|
|
|
|

Your problem is writing to registry or you have problem to change password to binary value?
If your problem is first one,search this site,you can find an article about it.If it is second one you can write a function that get password string and return it like this:
public static byte[] EncryptPassword(string password)
{
UnicodeEncoding encoding = new UnicodeEncoding();
byte[] hashBytes = encoding.GetBytes( password );
SHA1 sha1 = new SHA1CryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] cryptPassword = sha1.ComputeHash ( hashBytes );
return cryptPassword;
}

How can I create my own binary database file just like MS access? I need to use my own extension (e.g. *.mod - my own database)?

Hey Jassim Rahma,
Check out this site:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/database/SharpHSQL.asp
It is a database implementation in C#. Perhaps this should give you some idea.

How can I:
1. Create a DLL which contains WMA files called 01.wma, 02.wma, etc. So DLL files will be indivisually 01.dll, 02, dll, etc.
2. Read the audio file from the DLL file and play it without creating a temporary WMA file on the local machine.

How can I change the keyboard language between Arabic and English? I need to force the textBox to write Arabic for textBox1 and English for textBox2 even if the user tried to change the language?
|
|
|
|

I think InputLanguage class is what you need. I think when these controls are focused,you can use this class to set the language.

So here it is with codeproject.com formatting:
string s= @"<here is="a little" bit="of">xml";
Regex rx=new Regex(
@"(?<tag><)((?<prequote>.*?)')+(?<tag>[^']*?>)",
RegexOptions.Compiled|RegexOptions.ExplicitCapture|RegexOptions.Singleline);
string results=rx.Replace(s,new MatchEvaluator(this.tagEvaluator));
Console.WriteLine(results);
string tagEvaluator(Match m) {
string r=m.Groups["tag"].Captures[0].Value;
for (int i=0; i< m.Groups["prequote"].Captures.Count;i++) {
r+= m.Groups["prequote"].Captures[i].Value + "\"";
}
return r + m.Groups["tag"].Captures[1].Value;
}

Could someone tell me how to fire off a menu item click event from a UserControl. The menu is contained in the UserControls parent form.
Thanks,
Paul

|

if you have for instance a menuFileOpen_Click method for you file open on your menu and you wanted to use it for an open button you would just assign it to the buttons cick handler.
btnOpen_Click()
{
menuFileOpen_Click();
}
I hope that is what you ment.

Quoted from MSDN:
The Path property uniquely identifies this entry in a networked environment. This entry can always be retrieved using this Path.
Setting the Path retrieves a new entry from the directory store; it does not change the path of the currently bound entry.
The classes associated with the DirectoryEntry component can be used with any of the Active Directory service providers. Some of the current providers are Internet Information Services (IIS), Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Novell NetWare Directory Service (NDS), and WinNT.
Note The portion of the Path that identifies the provider (precedes "://") is case sensitive. For example, "LDAP://" or "WinNT://".
The syntax for the Path property varies according to the provider. Some common scenarios are:
WinNT
Connect to a group on a computer. For example, "WinNT:// domain/ computer/ group ". If you are connecting to a local computer, "WinNT:// computer/ group ".
Connect to a user on a computer. For example, "WinNT:// domain/ computer/ user ". If you are connecting to a local computer, "WinNT:// computer/ user ".
Connect to services on a computer. For example, "WinNT:// domain/ computer/ service ". If you are connecting to a local computer, "WinNT:// computer/ service ".
Discover all domains on the network. For example, "WinNT:". The domains can be found by enumerating the children of this entry.
LDAP
Connect to a group in a domain. For example, "LDAP://CN= group-name, CN=Users, DC= domain-controller1, DC= domain-controller2,... ".
Connect to a user in a domain. For example, "LDAP://CN= full-user-name, CN=Users, DC= domain-controller1, DC= domain-controller2,...".
Connect to computers in a domain. For example, "LDAP://CN= computer-name, CN=Computers, DC= domain-controller1, DC= domain-controller2,...".
IIS
Connect to a Web directory. For example, "IIS://LocalHost/W3SVC/1/ROOT/ web-directory-name ".

When I do this to one of my projects
using System.Messaging;
I get the following error :
The type or namespace name 'Messaging' does not exist in the class or namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
What the heck is wrong with this picture ?
I am actually missing the namespace ?????
It's all over in the help system. It can't be missing!
Can someone please help me out ?
tia,
Pilgrim

You need to reference the assembly containing the System.Messaging namespace, in this case "System.Messaging.dll".
In VS.NET, right click on the "References" entry for that project and choose Add Reference. On the command line add "/r:System.Messageing.dll"

Hey Pilgrim,
Did u add reference to System.Messaging.dll from VS.NET Solution Explorer?
