There's many things wrong with this code. First of all - don't open and close the connection yourself (especially while editing the DataSet - it's a disconnected recordset to no connection is needed; this is not ADO); the OleDbDataAdapter opens and closes the connection reliably.
Second, OleDbDataAdapter.Update will call DataSet.AcceptChanges() internally - you do not need to call this yourself.
Third, as the other poster said, in order to update your database with the changed data in a DataSet, you need to have the corresponding properties of an OleDbDataAdapter - UpdateCommand, InsertCommand, and DeleteCommand - assigned appropriately. So, if you have records that have been changed, the UpdateCommand is needed. If the DataSet ultimately contains rows that were added or deleted, you need the InsertCommand and DeleteCommand properties assigned, respectively. For simple queries (whatever is assigned to the SelectCommand) you can use the OleDbCommandBuilder as the other poster said. How do you expect the OleDbDataAdapter to update the database if it doesn't know how to update the database?

how do i execute a .bat file and have the program halt until it finishes. what i'm doing is creating an external software installer so i can just check which programs i want to install and it installs it. once the user presses 'Install' i want it to create a temp .bat file and then execute the .bat file and wait for all the installs to finish before coming back to the main program. i would also like the .bat file to execute silently so you don't see the command prompt.
thanks,
Rob Tomson

To note, this only works in Windows NT-based OSes (Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, and 2003 currently; Windows stopped with Me). A console window will appear for console apps regardless of ProcessStartInfo.CreateNoWindow. It's just the nature of Windows existing on top of DOS while Windows NT simply contains a command prompt (big difference).

I am creating a Custom Form Designer for my application.
I need to create rectangles around controls to allow the user to resize them and show them as selected.
The problem is if the control is on top of another control, the rectangle is drawn behind all the controls and cannot be seen.
Does anyone know how I can draw a rectangle on top of everything ?
Thx!

I need to write custom versions of two of the three components involved in a streaming audio setup. Specifically, I need to write a custom streaming server implementation, and at least one custom source application.
Here are the kickers: The server needs to work with existing standard source applications (SAM2 Broadcaster[^], WinAmp, etc). Also, the source app(s) need to work with existing standard servers (Icecast[^], Shoutcast[^], etc.)
I need for these apps to support streaming MP3 or Ogg Vorbis (or both/either). The reason I'm not using any of the standard apps I've listed above is that none of them have the specific features I need for what I'm going to be doing. Although some of them are open-source (Icecast and some clients), they're all written in multi-platform C/C++, and the code is not well documented or easily readable for someone that's not a full-time C programmer.
So, does anyone know of any libraries (open-source, free, or affordably commercial) that will simplify the development process? Any tips, pointers, or web links on where I should even start trying to write my own?
Anything that will be helpful in this endeavor will be greatly appreciated. I know absolutely nothing (from a technical perspective) about the specifics of writing streaming audio code.
Thanks for whatever help you can give.

I have a question, and on MSDN I couldn't find an answer:
will there be an Visual C# Standard Edition or will it be replaced by VC# Express Edition?
If there will be a C# Standard Edition aside from Express Edition where will be the differences then?
|
|
|
|
|
The express edition doesn't replace any existing editions. MSDN subscribers can get their hands on the full version of Visual Studio 2005 beta right now in fact.
The express edition is meant for hobbyists, students, and other non-professionals. The differences between that and the standard edition.. go read the Express Edition FAQ, they're outline there (don't have a link, go search MSDN). Probably things like unit testing, app deployment, app security configuration settings and other more advanced features will be in the standard IDE.

Actually, no we can't - not yet anyway. Should be able to in a couple days. The latest post is still the May '04 CTP.

Anyone have some good example code for calling Java routines from C#?

Unless you're able to convert the Java .class file to a .NET assembly, I believe this will require either a COM bridge or Mono's IKVM Java runtime. Mono lead dev Miguel de Icaza wrote a Java app on top of Mono that might get you pointed in the right direction: clickity[^].
Additionally, if you have the Java source code, you could try recompiling as J# code which gets compiled as a .NET assembly.

I've got an article on that at http://www.devx.com/interop/Article/19845[^]. It's a new edition of an article[^] I wrote for CodeProject alost two years ago, which was a rewrite of an article I wrote about a year before that. Sure, there are already bridge products that have been out for a couple years, but these articles will tell you how it's done (using JNI and, optionally, COM - though not required if you P/Invoke native functions from the JNI library you'd have to write).
The DevX article I linked first goes into greater depth about calling Java methods from the JNI DLL.

Hello,
Does anyone know of a good documentation generator for .NET code (C# or VB.NET)? Is there anything comparable to JavaDoc? I've tried using VS.NET's built in html documentation generator, but I have found it's documentation to be pretty useless, especially because it shows every member of a class, including private members. Is there anything close to the quality of JavaDoc?
Thanks, Andreas

Use NDoc[^], a project I'm proud to be a part of. It's used by many companies and can generate many types of documentation, with support for additional documentors. You can produce HTML Help 1.x and 2.x documentation that looks and pretty much acts exactly as the .NET Framework SDK documentation - consistency definitely helps.

I am a beginner & was working on namespace system.web.mail. i was simply trying to mail a hello world message on the click of
a button. BUT when i tried to do it i got an error message as follows
System.Web.HttpException: Could not access 'CDO.Message' object. ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040213): The transport failed to connect to the server.
i have not configured my outlook express is it due to that, or is there some other problem. please help me. my code was as follows
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
sendemail();
}
public static void sendemail()
{
SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "www.hotmail.com";
MailMessage mm = new MailMessage();
mm.From = "casablancaknight@hotmail.com";
mm.To = "casablanca111@hotmail.com";
mm.Body = "hello";
mm.Subject = "hi";
SmtpMail.Send(mm);
}

You specified a web page as the SmtpServer. You need to provide the address to the SMTP server.

Hello,
i've tried to serialize a Class with member of type ArrayList but it doesn't work. The Xml Document is empty. What's wrong?
Code:
class ImageCollection
{
[XmlElement(Type = typeof(Image)),
XmlElement(Type = typeof(Image))]
private ArrayList images = new ArrayList();
ImageCollection()
{
}
public void addItem(Image image)
{
this.images.Add(image);
}
}
ImageCollection img = new ImageCollection();
img.addItem(new Image());
XmlSerializer serializer =new XmlSerializer(typeof(ImageCollection));
XmlTextWriter writer =new XmlTextWriter("Images.xml", System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);
serializer.Serialize(writer,img);
writer.Close();
Thanks and greets from Austria

If you read the documentation for the XmlSerializer class, it states that only public properties and fields are serialized.
It is recommended that you do not expose public, read-write instance fields, so I would recommend exposing a read-only property (only has a get accessor so other classes can't assign a new ArrayList) and attributing that as yo've done for the private field.

Heath – I’m sure you’re reading this… I’m 95% of the way to a solution to the Explorer dragimage problem. That’s both good and bad news. First off, the problem all along wasn’t my implementation of the COM interfaces; I had that right the whole time. The problem is how c# registers objects as drag targets. It does it automatically, so you have to first revoke and then re-register the control for drag drop to catch the interface’s methods.
That being said, I have a test project which, when something from the shell is dragged over the form, will fire the IDropTarget.DragEnter event. I have an IDropTargetHelper object that I’m using to call the DragEnter method, and voila, the Explorer drag image appears! HOWEVER, I am getting a NullReferenceException when calling the IDropTargetHelper’s DragOver method, and the drag image will not move with the cursor since there's an error. I’ve scoured the net for a reason why this is happening, but no luck there. Debugging doesn’t help since we’re dealing with an unmanaged code…
Would you be willing to help in any way? I can post code, email a sample, whatever you might be up for... I’m so close I just need to get over this one last hurdle!!
Thanks!

I want to write a program that will allow me to populate TextBox controls on other unknown applications from a Drag/Drop type event.
Exmaple: I open a Web page or other Dialog program that contains a TextBox, I would like to drag an Icon from my program over the target TextBox and fill the target TextBox with my own data.
Somthing similar was done in the password hacking Reveal program way way back, but rather than revealing passwords, I want to send data to the targeted Control. How do I get/send information from the target control ?
Can I use the Drag/Drop event to get the window name, then get the control handle from the window name somehow?
Any ideas out there ?

If you want to paste data into a textbox, you will need to get the handle to the window (i.e., textbox) you want to access and then send the appropriate message. I did something similar the other day in C++ with Outlook so I can get the count of the items within the Outlook address book. Here is an example of what I did:
HWND hwnd;
CString text, msg;
text = "Address Book";
hwnd = ::FindWindow(NULL, text);
if(hwnd != NULL)
{
HWND hwnd2;
hwnd2 = ::FindWindowEx(hwnd, NULL, "OUTEXVLB", NULL);
if(hwnd2 != NULL)
{
LRESULT num;
num = ::SendMessage(hwnd2, LB_GETCOUNT, (WPARAM)0, (LPARAM)0);
if(num == 1)
msg.Format("Results: %i entry.", num);
else if(num > 1)
msg.Format("Results: %i entries.", num);
else
msg.Format("Results: No results.");
SetDlgItemText(IDC_Results, msg);
}
else
{
msg.Format("Results: No results.");
SetDlgItemText(IDC_Results, msg);
}
}
else
{
msg.Format("No results.");
SetDlgItemText(IDC_Results, msg);
}

For this methodology, I assume you got the control name ("OUTEXVLB") via spy++ ?
I'm looking to get the handle for any TextBox based on the location of the mouse.
