What do you need the RichTextbox for?
I know of a few other editors that have support for varied colors, but I don't know any that allow multiple fonts.

which tool do you suggest i use then? i want to be able to do a ton of color coding and changing of fonts and styles.
it seems of all the tools provided, richtextbox seems the most versatile. i don't think i can do the same things with a listview.
i am writing a test tool that outputs a ton of text for logging. it would be nice for things to be color coded and styled according to severity.

I'm really sorry, I don't know of any editors that can do what you want. So, you could either try to create your own edit control for your neads, or abandon the richtextbox and go for the textbox.

Could you post the exception? That's a lot of code to look through with out any sort of clue as to where to start looking.

I am getting an InvalidOperationException with a message of "Insert". That's it, pretty useless message. Only hints that it didn't like my Statement for update command I guess. I am using a diffgram dataset to update database.

If your DiffGram includes inserts, updates, and deletes, all the related properties on a DataAdapter must be assigned. So, if a row was updated and all you supplied was the InsertCommand, then you would see such an operation because the DataAdapter doesn't know how to update the data store.

HI Heath,
That's what I thought too. So in the method that I use to update db. I assigned the Insert command to DataAdapter along with the Update command to DataAdapter. Now it runs but when I execute the DataAdapter update method. I get a new row in database instead of actually updating same row. When I update the datarow with values how do I tell the diffram dataset to go to update mode as well?
Here I find the datarow I want to update in dataset:
<br />
nRow2 = dsDiff.Tables["MidnightReadings"].Select(sRecFind);<br />
It finds it in dataset with no problem
Then I update datarow:
<br />
nRow2[0]["Coal_Feeder_Tot"] = tbCoalFeederTot.Text;<br />
nRow2[0]["Coal_Silo_Level_Prct"] = tbCoalSiloPrct.Text;<br />
nRow2[0]["Coal_Barn_Inv_Prct"] = tbCoalBarnInvPrct.Text;<br />
nRow2[0]["Limestone_Feed_Total"] = tbLimeFeedTot.Text;<br />
I checked the dataset and changes are there but here is the status of row:
<br />
<MidnightReadings diffgr:id="MidnightReadings2" msdata:rowOrder="1" diffgr:hasChanges="inserted"><br />
<MR_Date>2004-06-10T00:00:00.0000000-04:00</MR_Date><br />
<Coal_Feeder_Tot>8789</Coal_Feeder_Tot><br />
<Coal_Silo_Level_Prct>95.5</Coal_Silo_Level_Prct><br />
<Coal_Barn_Inv_Prct>75.8</Coal_Barn_Inv_Prct><br />
<Limestone_Feed_Total>0</Limestone_Feed_Total><br />
<LS_Silo_Level_Prct>0</LS_Silo_Level_Prct><br />
...<br />
This dataset already exists in db but keeps inserting new records.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
JJ

Make sure the row information contains a primary key so that the UpdateCommand can effectively use a WHERE clause so that the right row is updated.

Hi Heath,
Ok really frustrated with trying to create a diffgram dataset.
I assume that I should first create a DataAdapter then build SqlCommand,InsertCommand, UpdateCommand for Adapter, Correct?
Next build parameters for each Commmand, Correct? After that I can then
Fill dataadapter, correct? Then I write my diffgram out to a file.
Does this sound like the correct approach to this?
After I do this I then take dataset and do inserts, updates etc. to
dataset. After done with this process I go back create a new dataadapter with whats mentioned above and call DataAdapter.Update.
What do you think? I did away with the webservice and have the create diffgram and database updates in a separate class.
Thanks,
JJ

To call Fill, you only need the SelectCommand set. When you call DataAdapter.Update, however, you may need all four set depending on what changes have been made. After calling Update, though, there will be no changes because the DataAdapter then calls AcceptChanges on your DataSet or DataTable (whichever you passed in).
So, you really only need to write out a DiffGram (if that's really necessary) after you make changes, otherwise those won't be any differences.

See I need the diffgram because this is a pda app that is only sometimes connected to DB. So I need a way to record data to pda then update the database when a connection can be made. So I thought the diffgram would be the easiest way to accomplish this.

I was wondering if it was possible to import a comma delimited text file into a access database using c#? If someone could help me out that would be great.
Thanks.

Of course it's possible. Create an OleDbConnection to an MDB database file, then create an OleDbCommand from that with something like INSERT INTO MyTable VALUES(?, ?, ?, ...) for the CommandText. Then create an OleDbParameter for each ?.
Open the comma-delimited text file and split the strings on , (if you have other commas in the text, you'll need to do a little better job parsing taking quotes into account). For each line you read in and split, set the values of the OleDbParameters you created above and call OleDbCommand.ExecuteNonQuery (after opening your connection for the batch, of course). When you're done, close the connection.
Read about the OleDbConnection, OleDbCommand, and OleDbParameter in the .NET Framework SDK. If you have specific question, please don't hesitate to ask.

How can I get the text in a DataGridTextBoxColumn to word wrap by default? The text just extends off the end of my DataGrid on a single line, even if I set the word wrap property of the Column's TextBox to true. If I select a TextBox for editing, then it wraps, but only while selected.

The TextBox is only displayed when editing. When the text is displayed, it is simply drawn in the bounds and is clipped.
In order to word-wrap when displaying the text, you must extend DataGridTextBoxColumn and override Paint (the one with the most parameters, sine that's the one that's ultimately called) and GetMinimumHeight. When painting the string, make sure that StringFormatFlags.NoWrap is not set (negating the StringFormat.FormatFlags property with a bitwise AND), and set/unset anything else you want/don't want, including for other properties of the StringFormat.
The trick is that you have to use the Graphics object passed to Paint to call MeasureString, so that you can adjust the return value of GetMinimumHeight (since only enough for one line of text is displayed by default), but nothing that can't be done.

The function in unmanaged DLL get char* as parametar. When I try to use that function with (out) string parametar, program breaks. How to use that function?
|
|
|
|
|
A char* is a string - they're both already pointers. So, don't use out or ref with a string unless you see an unmanaged declaration like char** or LPCSTR* or something.
BTW, if the string is actually a TCHAR*, TCHAR[], or LP(C)TSTR, then make sure you specify CharSet.Auto. If the declaration is a char* or LP(C)STR, be sure to specify CharSet.Ansi since strings are Unicode in .NET natively. Both the DllImportAttribute and StructLayoutAttribute define a CharSet field you should set in the attribute in such a case.

If I pass only string as parametar program breaks with error message: "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object". Pass parremetar is char* type in dll.
|
|
|
|
|
And is the string set to something? Trust me, a char* is a string - in any language.
If the string is supposed to be an output parameter, do not use the out keyword but instead use the OutAttribute. This tells the marshaler that the parameter is an output parameter and will be assigned when the function returns.

If I understand you well, this is a solution for problem:
[DllImport("Kernel32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Ansi)]
public static extern bool GetComputerName([Out,MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPTStr)] string f1, out int a2);
.
.
.
int v = 0;
string a = "";
if (GetComputerName(a, out v))
{
MessageBox.Show(a+" " + v);
}
But, this will not work???

You have that all wrong. The character set should be CharSet.Auto (since, like I said before, the string is LPTSTR), and the second parameter is documented as [in, out], which means you should use ref because you MUST pass the size of the string buffer, which is probably why you're getting the error (not to mention the wrong character set when using Windows NT (4.0, 2000, XP, 2003). The property signature is:
[DllImport("user32.dll", CharSet=CharSet.Auto)]
public static extern bool GetComputerName(string name, ref uint size);
uint size = 16;
string name = new string('\0', (int)size);
GetComputerName(name, ref size);You know what, though? You should browse the class library documentation and learn what's there. This P/Invocation is not necessary. Just use the Environment.MachineName property.
