Point taken.

again, you shouldn't be calling

form.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.Yes;

after form.ShowDialog();

This is because when you call ShowDialog, the form is shown in dialog form. the next line is run only when the form is closed with a dialog result.

Now, the code that you want to run will only happen when you do:

Form form = new Form();
form.Show();
form.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.Yes;

In this case, when the last line is executed, the form doesn't disappear but it goes behind your main form. Try minimizing your form and voila, you get your form.

You probably want to do this:

Form2 f2 = new Form2();
f2.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.Yes;
f2.ShowDialog();

Network login problem

hi all,
I'm building a program that copies files from network computers.
now i got everything running good except one little thing.
sometimes the computer "forgets" the remote dir user and pass and requests them.
but if it happens and im running my program it wont ask for the user and pass but rather quits with an error.
now my problem is that every now and then i need to enter the passwords manually by going into the dir s.
i tired to find a solution but i couln't find any...
if anyone can help me with:
1. Prompt the user to enter the user and pass.
<b><u><big>or</big></u></b>
2. The program will enter the user and pass automatically.

thanks alot!

p.s
the program is written in visual c#.
it runs on two computers one of them is win 2000 (NT), another is WINXP. most problems are on the NT comp.

example for network drive file i need to copy \\1.1.1.1\c$\test.txt

OK, I assume English is not your native language?

If I read your post correctly, you want to store many files in a single file, similar to the way that powerpoint and WinZip do, but with your own file extension.
If you are new to programming this may be a little advanced for you, but:

You can create your own ZIP files, using an addon, which can have any extension you wish.
Have a look at this article[^] which does musch of that.

There are also various other ZIP utilities you can use from c#: SharpZipLib, DotNetZip etc. - Google is your friend here. I haven't used any of them, so I can't comment on how good they are (or aren't).

If you don't want to use ZIP, then you have a fair amount to do: You will have to invent a file format that will hold variable length files, and transfer them in and out yourself.

You can use the built-in Package class for this.

Hi,

I'm trying to access all the services in a remote server, the ObjectQuery "Select * from Win32_Service" is not displaying the user created services, is there any other query needed to retrieve this info, please advice me,

Thanks,
D.Vinoth

Does this only happen if you execute this query on a remote server or does it even happen if
you do this query on your local machine?

If I execute your query local, it shows me also the user created services.

Found something on MSDN maybe that helps (but I think you already have this right):

"

A user connecting from a remote computer must have the SC_MANAGER_CONNECT privilege enabled to be able to enumerate this class. For more information, see Service Security and Access Rights.

"

If I remember your last posts, you connect to the remote machine by some useraccount thats valid on this machine. Is it possible to login with this useraccount local on the remote machine?
If so, I would try to execute the query there local and see if, it differs from the one you get by remote query. If it doesn't differ, I would assume that your user account needs more privileges.

Greetings
Covean

Hi,

DateTime.Today returns today's date.
ToString() will format it in one of many ways, however quarters are not supported.
You can calculate them yourself, as (Month+2)/3

FYI: I summarized some general information in this article[^], I will add some examples about weeks and quarters later on.

Huh?

Where I live, there are four quarters in a year (as in most everything else), so each quarter holds three months. That means the divisor has to be three, not four.

Month         1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9 10 11 12
(Month+2)/3   1  1  1  2  2  2  3  3  3  4  4  4
(Month/4)+1   1  1  1  2  2  2  2  3  3  3  3  4
                                !        !  !

[ADDED]
((Month-1)/3)+1 would be fine too, however I always prefer the other form, as it looks better (for me at least), and it is somewhat safer, with an outer operator of higher precedence so you can subtract it from something without needing extra parentheses; that is somewhat similar to inverse order tests such as if (null==variable)..., which I don't use!
