Through code i need to mimic the click of a desktop shortcut.

That's a description that a manager would give.. Ask the user why the shortcut needs to be clicked (ie, what does it do, and what does the user try to achieve?)

So, you need to execute the app that the shortcut points to. That means reading the shortcut, finding out what it points to, and execute that.

There's no generic way of clicking on the desktop. Yes, you can simulate a mouse-click, but chances are huge that users move their icons around. It's either that, or installing AutoHotKey[^].

How to update in settings.settings file

Hi,
I'm using webservices in my project and specified the webservice location in application configuration file. Issue is when I modify service location in app.config file, its not updating the Settings.settings file(in properties folder) and I couldn't able to call the service methods. Its updating only when I double click on the Settings.settings file.
Please guide me to solve this issue without double click on Settings.settings file.
Thanks in advance

Your settings-class has a Save method. I suggest you call it when you want to persist any changes in the settings.

It's working for me.

What does "it's not working" mean? Does it throw an error? Does it not update the settings in the settings file of the IDE (as designed)? Do you get old or new values if you Reload the settings file?

It didn't throw any error. its not updating the new values of app.config file.

Eddy Vluggen19-Apr-12 0:53

Where are you verifying these new values? Are you looking in the app.config file that's part of your solution? It won't update the *default* values Smile | :)

Save, then Reload, then verify. Using code, not using the IDE.

My app.config contains the below settings.

<applicationSettings>
  <LibClient.Properties.Settings>
    <setting name="LibClient_WebReference_CRService" serializeAs="String">
       <value>http://localhost:8888/TestService/services/TestService.TestServiceHttpSoap11Endpoint/</value>
    </setting>
  </LibClient.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>

I changed the port value in given url. like http://localhost:8080/TestService/services/TestService.TestServiceHttpSoap11Endpoint

When I run the code it is using old port value 8888 not 8080.
Because settings file was not updated with the new value 8080
Hope you understood the issue. I just have to update the settings whenever the config file gets changed. I tried with the below code in my class constructor as suggested by you. Still its not updating.
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
Properties.Settings.Default.Reload();

That's how we do it in WinForms, and it saves the file locally. I just glanced at the documentation for ASP.NET, seems like they use a web.config; so I'm guessing that's something different.

Check if the settings-file that's in the Debug-folder is *not* readonly. Alternatively, store it in a XML file under your direct control (as opposed to relying on the generated stuff).

Use the google map integration on your ASP.NET page.
you can do it by google map API.
for the steps, see the below link:

other option is Wikimapia API:

how to display the list of tables in a mysql database, I have at my application module that requires selection of the database and selection of the table that will display its contents

You need to execute a query against the db.
Something like

SQL

SHOW [FULL] TABLES [{FROM | IN} db_name]
    [LIKE 'pattern' | WHERE expr]

Go look at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/[^] to find the correct syntax for the version you are working on.

Maybe execute it as a stored proc and return it to your application.

You need to query the Information_Schema database, something like this:-

SQL

SELECT Table_Name FROM Information_Schema.Tables WHERE Table_Type = 'BASE TABLE' AND Table_Schema = 'yourSchema'

This will give you the names of all the tables in your schema.

You don't need any SQL:

public override List<string> GetTableNames() {
	using (OleDbConnection con=new OleDbConnection(connectionString)) {
		con.Open();
		DataTable dt=con.GetSchema("Tables");
		List<string> tableNames=new List<string>();
		foreach (DataRow row in dt.Rows) {
			string tableName=(string)row["TABLE_NAME"];
			tableNames.Add(tableName);
		}
		return tableNames;
	}
}

I've never tried to access MySql with OleDb; I've always used the MySql .net connector.

On a MySql database I access at work that doesn't work Sigh | :sigh:

-- it seems it may be an older version of MySql.

SHOW DATABASES;

SHOW TABLES;
