Are you usin NET Framework 1.0? The Data Provider for Oracle is not included. You have to download it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads[^].

.NET Framework must be 1.1, I could connect to oracle with OleDb for other action like execute sql command, get data reader,...

but got above problem with combo box.

Can you describe the problem you are seeing?

I don't see anything wrong with the code you wrote above so long as you have a variable named DataSet with at least one DataTable added.

Can anybody help me. I really do not understand one thing!
This is an example from MSDN:
//***********************
private void SetFont(string reportObjectName)
{
TextObject text;
FontDialog fieldFont = new FontDialog();

// Get the ReportObject by name and cast it as a TextObject.
text = Report.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects[reportObjectName]
as TextObject;
if (text!= null)
{
// Show the Font dialog.
if (fieldFont.ShowDialog ()==DialogResult.OK)
{
// Apply the settings from the Font dialog.
text.ApplyFont(fieldFont.Font);
// Set the text object's color to blue.
text.Color = Color.Blue;
}
}
}
//***********************
but in reality the function ApplyFont works not properly, it can change anythign but Font.Size.
The main thing of font is its Size and I cannot change it in my reports. What's going on? Is it an error or it works as designed?

Thank you!!!

Hi Valeria,

In ASP.NET (Web Development)

you can use this codesnippet to detect ALT key bieng pressed:

HTML

document.onkeydown = function ()
{
     alert (event.altKey + " " +event.keyCode);
}

Windows to *nix with Mono

Is it possible to take a .net binary compiled under Windows and take the binary, and run it under Mono(under any *nix platform) without recompilation. I understand that Mono has WineLib related bindings and patches for porting applications written in windows to *nix, but I'm not sure if it would need a recompilation.

thanks
Kannan

In theory you could do it, I never tried it, though.
I intend to do it as soon as our project hit the next deadline, so I'll have some time to play with new technologies.

Good question. I know that hey use NUnit as the Unit testing tool on Mono, and it seems to work fine with Mono assemplies and Windows assemblies.

I would GUESS that it works for libs but not for .exe

i.e. libs are a defined .net format, whilst .exe are windows - they have win32 code to load up .net and complile the .net machine code.

but only a guess..

Sorta...assuming 100% managed code there are two entry points in an executable.

The first is the one that lets Win2K, Win98, and WinME work; it is the standard one used by all programs, it merely makes a call to the .NET runtimes _CorExeMain function.

The second entry point is the one you define with the Main method and is managed code: WinXP and Win2K3 use this directly, bypassing the first/normal entry point because they are .NET aware.

I tried to find a document I had which described the loading process in detail, in particular the loading mechanism used by WinXP+. Unfortunately I could't find it so I had to go from my stale memory.

The first entry point is described in Tom Archer's Inside C# first edition, but my second edition is out on loan to a friend so I can't check that one.

Up until now there is no sure way to port Windows Forms since they make extensive calls to the Win32 API.

But in the mono, they are having two options for implementing winforms
One through the GTK route and the other through wine emulation, they have a patched versino of winelib for this purpose, in this route winforms would work without any code modifications (hopefully without recompilation Unsure | :~

)

Managed DirectX on the Desktop

If they really make that work in a consistent way it would be a good thing, although I seriously doubt that that these emulations will work without recompilation Unsure | :~

Lets wait and see. Sleepy | :zzz:

Hi all,

I would like to know if it is posible to use DirectX to draw to the windows desktop using c#.

If this is posible how would I go about it.

Kind Regards

you need to use FindWindow() GetWindowDC() to do this.
Beware that different versions of windows have 'different' desktops - i.e. under xp/98 there is a ListView control which is what you place icons on - you want to draw to this. (this listview effectivly hides the desktop window)
Whilst under other versions you need to get GetDesktopWindow()

Thanks Philip,

I remember that these functions return a hwnd handle.

So how can I go from the hwnd handle to and usable DirectX device in C#

Multilanguage application

Hi all!

I'm working on an real estates software and it will be available in multiple language (english, french, italian, and many more).
We choose C#/.Net with VS2003 for devolopping the software.
My question is what is the best way to do a multi-language application ? I mean that I don't want to change a single ligne of code if tomorrow we add a new language.
For example, a solution available in a standard MFC/C++ application is to make a DLL with all string tables as resources but we can't do this in C#/.Net (i think).
Any suggestion ?

Many thanks,
