Hi Ryan,
Thank you kindly for that. Will try to get this to give me the info needed. I need to rethink the question though. Will this give me the row number that contains the TRUE field?
What I need to get is the index number of the row that contains the TRUE field.
Regards,
Bill Antonacchio

I am currently developing an asp.net application that develops crystal reports using the push method. What I am wondering is if I can allow the user to specify sort options during runtime while they are viewing the report information in the .asxp page? For instance I have a report that displays three bits of information about a part(PartNumber,RevisionNumber,CallNumber). I am wondering if I can allow the user to switch between sorting the records by these given fields and just have the page reload with the same data in the newly selected sorted order. Thanks in advance for any help

<code>
DataSet datas = new DataSet("DataSetName");
DataTable dataTable = new DataTable("myNewTableName");
DataRow dataRow = dataTable.NewRow();
dataTable.Rows.Add(dataRow);
for(int i = 0; i<5; i++)
{
DataColumn dataColumn = new DataColumn();;
dataColumn.ColumnName = "myColumnName"+i.ToString();
dataTable.Columns.Add(dataColumn);
dataRow["myColumnName"+i.ToString()]="myItem"+i.ToString();
}
dataTable.AcceptChanges();
datas.Tables.Add(dataTable);
dataGrid1.DataSource=dataTable;
datas.WriteXml("TestXml.xml");
</code>
This code generate the following xml file:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<DataSetName>
<myNewTableName>
<myColumnName0>myItem0</myColumnName0>
<myColumnName1>myItem1</myColumnName1>
<myColumnName2>myItem2</myColumnName2>
<myColumnName3>myItem3</myColumnName3>
<myColumnName4>myItem4</myColumnName4>
</myNewTableName>
</DataSetName>
--------------
I need the same data to be formatted in this way:
--------------
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<myNewTableName myColumnName0="myItem0" myColumnName1="myItem1" myColumnName2="myItem2" myColumnName3="myItem3" myColumnName4="myItem4"</myNewTableName>
--------------
how can I do this?
thanks

Don't use a DataSet. It outputs XML in specific ways - namely as elements. Instead, see the classes in the System.Xml namespace. You could enumerate the tables and columns in your DataSet (or use an XmlDataDocument) and then write them out to a file using an XmlTextWriter, which allows you to write attributes, elements, comments, and even processing instructions however you want. Lots of samples are included in the class documentation for the System.Xml namespace.
One other option is to save this to a file or a MemoryStream and then load it into an XmlDocument or some other class. You could then use a XslTransform to transform the elements into attributes.

Hi Gurus,
I would like to know how I can handle multiple modems and force applications that have web access to use a modem or another?
For instance, I have 2 digital modems (one cable and one ADSL) and I would like some applications to use the cable modem and other applications to use the other modem.
At the end of the application I would like to build I could handle a list of applications/dlls that could use a given modem.
For example:
Internet Explorer uses Modem 1 and Modem 2
eMule uses Modem 1 only
Messenger uses Modem 2 only
etc.
Is it possible to build such application with C#? Maybe such a tool already exist?
Best regards to all.

Most applications aren't sensitive to particular connection devices. I know that IE and Messenger are not.
About the only way to acheive this is to - after connecting - modify the route table so that connections to certain hosts go through a particular gateway. For modems, you must connect first before doing this because most ISPs hand-out dynamic IP addresses (even many broadband providers). Some will grant you a static IP, but often times charge extra. So, until you know what your dynamically assigned IP address is, you can't modify your route table accordingly.
As far as using C# to do this, why? Modify a route table is low level, although you can do it using the route.exe command-line utility. Managed applications aren't the solution to everything, especially low-level APIs. For instance, you'll probably never see managed code used for device drivers. These drivers are typically written in C and sometimes even assembler, or at least in part.

Hi Heath,
I am looking for a way to create an application that matches an application for a give set of modems.
I currently have 2 modems with static IPs and all I can do is to bridge the modem so the result is that the resource networks are in common like if I had a dual CPU. It does not download faster, but while I do massiv downloads, I can still continue to navigate smoothly 
I was wondering if it is possible to do an application that can do what I just mentionned that is assigne a set of modems to a given application and for the application to use the set of modems.
I think it's possible or maybe there are tools that already exist.
I just wanted to write this in C#, just for the fun of code. As suggested "leppie", I can build the low level in C/C++ and interface in C#. But first of all, does such an application exist??? I was thinking of ISA or any other firewall, but it's not really the purpose of fire walls...
I'm looking for such application for a while, and I was wondering to do it my self or not :

Again, this works through route tables. If you don't know what a route table is, it's what routes requests to a given host through the proper gateway. Firewalls use a similar concept, only they use stateful filtering because they can - they are completely between you and your request host. You can't preempt the Windows TCP/IP stack like this. That leaves you with one option: route tables.
When you connect with multiple devices (say, two modems) each will have a different IP address. This will be your local gateway. You could modify your route table so that all requests to www.codeproject.com (209.171.52.99) go through one modem while all others are routed to the other.
This has absolutely nothing to do with the name of the application, which most often simply uses the networking APIs of the operating system.
Don't believe me? Try reading the TCP/IP specifications and check back in a few days when you're finished reading them.

So, an application can't be forced to use a modem or another? Then what about bridged networks???

Again - route tables. Take a VPN connection. When I VPN from home to the office, my route table is modified such that all connections not to my home network are routed through the VPN connection. Seriously - try reading about the subject. If you don't even understand a route table, how do you expect to even do this?

Some, yes. Others are in RFCs. Hell, ask any decent systems administrator and they'll tell you the same thing.

And you've never heard of newsgroups and other forums besides those here on CodeProject?
Seriously, try reading-up on TCP/IP. I've been doing this for a very long time and speak from experience and knowledge gained by reading and participating in newsgroups and mail lists.

I'm going to read some articles on the MSDN...
I've just discovered newsgroups last week
I usually use codeproject and the other one I won't name here
I've been trained for local programming while doing my MCSD trainings, I never heard about Sockets and TCP/IP...
I only had theory 7 years ago about OSI and so on... it was blah blah blah... nothing concreete...
I'm looking on the MSDN for additional information. I guess there is enough for what I need to do.

I finsihed two years ago... lol it was only about Visual C++ and MSF (Microsoft Solution Framework, a kind of accelerated Merise conception of software).
When I said never heard about Socket and TCP/IP, it was not the purposes of the trainings. Even in COM/DCOM/COM+ programming trainings, we never used sockets because it was not needed.
As you know, I just started to use sockets with C# 
I have to go now...
We'll talk tomorrow.
See ya!

I don't know of an application that will do this either. Simply because applications don't give a damn which network their on. It's just not in an applications domain to care which devices carries its communications. Remember the OSI model? It's there for a reason and applications sit at the top of it, not down near the Network layer.
Like Heath said, about the only thing you can do is modify the route table based on the destination IP's that your apps are trying to connecting to.

I thought we could do this. 
So, which layers take care about the fact that an applications is forced to use a modem or another?

None. The layers are completely seperate and independent from each other. The Application Layer doesn't have any connections to the Network Layer. It still has to go through Presentation, Session, and Transport. Each layer insulates the layers ajoining it. Don't sleep throught the OSI model next time...it comes in real handy understanding modern networking.

Not to go off on a tangent, but I wanted to say "exactly" to your argument. This is why debates about C/C++/ASM dying to managed code are just pointless. Managed code is great for high level RAD, but quite poor when it comes to dealing with low level code. That may change somewhat when WinFX, which is non-reliant on Win32, rolls around. But even then it'll be a matter of using the right tool for the job, and currently, managed code is not the right tool for low level API solutions.

To do this by applicaiton, the application has to be "aware" of the different network interfaces. As is applications like IE and MSN Messenger frankly don't know and don't care as long as the routing can contact the servers it seeks to query. For some applications, mostly server programs like IIS, this makes sense since they "bind" to specific interfaces so they provide tools to handle this. For client software this is behavior is almost meaningless.
I would say its nearly impossible to manipulate the routing to be application aware (I don't want to say it is impossible but it should be darn near impossible since it would be easy to write malicous software if you could just hijack traffic out of process). There is probably a way but it involves some serious win32 mojo to recognize what application is opening what socket and then altering the communication path accordingly.
I believe this is a case where someone is trying to solve something with software but ignoring the obvious (and distrubingly easy) hardware solution: take a modem off of the machine and place it on another and run your applications as applicable.

Maybe Bill can handle this, because he has the sources of Windows...
