Are you using SQL Server or another database?

I never used this library, but you can try to ask the author of the article for more information. Good luck ;)

If it is a console application, make a menu and use ReadKey to get user input, then execute the code you want. If it is Winforms make a main form and run the form you want from there.

He mentions: "However, the focus winds up on one of my buttons"

Thanks for the info, I have updated the page on Slant.

What Windows version are you using? it seems to run only on Windows 10.

Don't do that, even if you find (bad) examples on the internet and some "experts" say it's safe to do!

That's a brilliant answer!
why didn't I think of that ...

Almost, updated the solution again ;)

Ok, updated the solution.

That is problematic I'm afraid ;)

Thats strange, I get World Hello, are you sure that's a space in between?

I never heard of a "in visual studio webcam", is this some new feature?
Or are you running some kind of program?

Thanks, but I get the feeling that this has not solved his problem :)

Don't think so, but I can only speak from a C# background.

Maybe you have also set a cursor property somewhere for a control in the designer?

It could be that your spam blocker does not trust the redirect to the webpage (Slant earns money this way I assume), on the Prefix page it states that it supports .NET and also other languages like Java, Python etc.
But as I never used it, I can not tell for sure ...

Amazing!
5ed!

I'm not a Java programmer, but I suppose you could use a PDF library like https://pdfbox.apache.org/ for that.

As you mentioned "words with the letter 'a' at a specific position" it searches for the letter at position 3, which is the fourth letter as arrays in C# start from 0.

That's right, I did not want to mention named pipes and stuff like that :)

Yes, most beginners think that SQL Server is the only route to take, but there are more and better options IMHO. It is good to point that out to them. I used SQL Server for years and was hard to convince too to use another database, but after working with PostgreSQL I never want to go back to SQL Server anymore.

Absolutely !
First feeding the hungry, second, quenching the thirsty
:)

myC ? never heard of it and can't even find it when Googling, are you sure you spelled that correctly?

If you start with a new datagridview you will see that the problem is not in AllowUserstoAddRows, but probably in one of your routines. You can use a Try..Catch to catch errors, and you should check before getting values from the datagridview if the values are valid.

Sorry, I'm too busy with work right now, maybe someone else can help you.
Besides I stopped using SQL Server years ago, did not like it at all :)

That's an interesting idea :)

Have you tried running Access as administrator?

Some consider the VS installer a "Dead end" as it is not supported in newer versions of VS, so I would recommend using something else.

It's been long ago that I struggled with a similar problem, and being an old fart I can't remember how I solved it sadly ... maybe after a good night's rest :)
Oh, and custom controls are controls too !

See: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2729751/how-do-i-draw-a-circle-and-line-in-the-picturebox
The second answer shows how to use the paint event of the picture box.
(you should post this as a new question btw)

I'm not a Java programmer myself, so I can not tell, it will be trial and error I fear. Good luck!

Ah, then that can not be the problem :)

I'm afraid I can't quite follow you, isn't that app in your server a Windows application?
Your question was: "How to use a windows / linux application" ...
See the last note about Cameyo, it allows you to run Windows applications in a browser.

Did you also try Nuget restore from the command line in the solution folder?

Ah, very patient of you :)
Then maybe the last note might shine some light on this, otherwise you could post this as an issue on GitHub.

Exterminate! spoken in true Dalek style :)

That's a mystery to me too, good question for the language designers :)

Maybe I misunderstood but isn't your question about connecting to Microsoft Office?

Sigh :{

Yes, see the updated solution above.

There still seem to be some problems, working on it ...

Did you modify the Program.cs file maybe?

Maybe not, but let's stay friendly and give some hints for those who are really desparate :)

I never tried this project, so I can't tell, it was more to show how you can call ffmpeg. Good luck!

You will have to contact the author of the program, or a dedicated forum for that, this is a general question and answers forum.

Please don't post this as a solution, but use the 'Have a Question or Comment' button if you have more comments, otherwise I won't be notified.

Updated the solution with an example that shows how you can use it :)

Thanks Maciej :)

Then I would recommend edX https://www.slant.co/topics/965/viewpoints/30/~best-websites-to-learn-to-code~edx
These are free courses from universities, you will only need to pay for the certicate.
And for getting a well paid job, certificates are quite important.

FreeCodeCamp seems to be very popular, but it's not my cup of tea as a lot of popular languages like C# seem to be missing. Also I have some objections to the article as it seems more salary oriented than focusing on becoming a good programmer. But if salary is your prime concern that might be an option for you.

No, using a library is probably overkill for what you want, only if you could use the extra functionality it would be of interest I think.

Yes, this way your UI thread will remain responsive, it is recommend to study Async first if you never used it, there are many pitfalls.

Congrats, 5 points!

Hmmmm, so the problem seems NuGet related.

I think you will run into problems this way, in the past this would have worked well with MS Access databases, but SQL Server is more difficult. I would recommend using backup files instead. Personally I stopped using SQL Server altogether in favor of PostgreSQL and never regretted it.

Ah, recognition finally :)

Thought that was something of the past, but it still seems to exist :)

Beat me to it :)

Ji...5d :)

To err is human :)

Maybe add "01-" at the begin of "04-2020" ?

That's the "final countdown" :)

5d as you did most of the work :)

popular does not say anything about security I'm afraid :)

Hi Ralf, your routine is fine, but OP probably calls it from Form1_Load() and then it won't work (at least not in my test application).

Don't use a messagebox but a form which will not block and will be closed with the main application.

The problems I encountered were with a datagridview placed in a usercontrol. I also think Anchor is easier to use when you want other controls like e.g. Buttons aligned next or under the datagridview. But all this might be a personal preference of course :)

That was my advice, I prefer not to use Dock as I had some problems with it in the past.

Your "small section of JSON" is missing

He probably can not put his finger on it :)

Don't forget to mark your solution as answer :)

Congrats, then you can mark this as solved.
I'm still curious why you could not get the Anchoring working, I think this is an important concept that you should master (in the future)

Looks ok to me!

Congrats, but what do you do when you want to send data back to the main form?
:)

Good :)
If my answer was helpful, you can mark it as solved.
Btw, what solution did you choose?

That should not be the case, check if you did not set some other properties wrong.

Ah, already 5d your answer :)

Wow, but in the results I see only see Denver and Chicago?

It seems to work with: WHERE minr>0 OR maxr=1

Then take a look at the answer by OriginalGriff, he suggests to pass a null value for the column, that should do the trick (don't know if this will work in Linq to SQL however)

Dock can sometimes be problematic, try to turn it off and use Anchor instead.

Calling Async "simple" would be the understatement of the year :)
Take a good look at how the example uses a combination of Tasks and Async.

Congrats!

Seems to be an Async problem, what happens if you make the FormatResponse() a normal method?

What could also help is upgrading to a newer .NET version 4.5 or higher if you are still using an older version.

In the title you say: "this browser is no longer supported"

Are you using the standard WebBrowser control in your form maybe?

That sounds like Client-Servant architecture to me :)

5d :)

Hope you are not using a "form in a form" that is a bad idea!

Did you try to set ActiveForm.BackColor or this.BackColor ?

Do you mean to connect to a database? if so what database are you using?

You can also add a header to your CSV file if that is easier

You probably have no header in your CSV file, as it says in the error message:
set the configuration HeaderValidated to null

Ah, I see, working on it ...

You mean storing the read values in an array?

hehe :)

Then maybe this is more your cup of tea:
https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/368258/I-dont-like-Regex

Can not say more about it, as I'm not a network expert. But I can say that in our main software written in C# we never send large chunks of data via TCP, we always break it up in smaller chunks, so I guess that's because of experiences in the past with networks that couldn't cope.

In computer networking, out-of-order delivery is the delivery of data packets in a different order from which they were sent. One of the functions of TCP is to prevent the out-of-order delivery of data, either by reassembling packets in order or requesting retransmission of out-of-order packets

Gitea supports SQL Server, but I have only used it with PostgreSQL.
More info here: https://docs.gitea.io/en-us/database-prep/

We have Gitea running for 2 years now on a virtual machine without problems.
GitHub has the option of private repositories, but that could be a paid option.
If you are used to GitHub you will find Gitea easy, as the interface is almost the same.

Hard to say, guess it depends on the situation and how your code looks, let's wait and see if someone comes up with anything better :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NUnit

Click the link :)

Ji..haa, then you can mark the solution as solved!

It sure seems to be popular according to the upvotes on Slant, haven't used it myself though as I like doing things the hard way and made my own custom controls :)

Ah, Mr.Zeeland, like the sound of that :)
But I think you were correct that C basically does not have graphics capabilites, you need extra libraries for that, and there are lots of them.

Then try with 4.5.1 or higher

What .NET framework version are you using? I'm on 4.5.1

That's strange, when I test it both links work, maybe you have something blocking it like an Anti-Virus ?

And when you try the CodeProject URL I gave you?

Maybe you need an extra slash: "/Modules/ ..."

The problem is that I wrote this code so long ago that I don't remember exactly how it works, added a CustomTabPage to the solution.

Have you tried setting the ForeColor too ?

Bummer, usually it is not allowed to save files directly from a browser this is a safety measure that's baked into the system.

As you seemed to know the answer already please don't post as a question, but create a TIP instead on CodeProject.

Data binding might seem strange and frightening to you at first, but it is well worth learning. Sadly I'm not a VB.NET programmer so I'm not going to invest a lot of time trying to fix your code, sorry!

He's one of the knights who say "ji"
5d :)

"Sorry - but we can't fix that for you!"
You could buy a better monitor for him :)

You are correct! updated the solution :)

As my answers are downvoted I will refrain from answering any more questions about the subject, besides it takes too much of my time as I'm not a VB programmer but used to programming in C#, sorry!

Take a look at Richard Deemings solution, that's the correct way to pass parameters to a query

That's not possible with the standard DateTimePicker, but you could write a usercontrol that derives from the DateTimePicker, something like this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10023158/hiding-datetimepickers-text-and-usercontrol-resize

I think it cannot be blank, but you can set the Checked property to false initially

How do you log? e.g. using log4net or other library?

You are probably right, but when it is done immediately after defining the dictionary it should work I think.

As Richard already pointed out it might be better to change |DataDirectory| to another location.

Bummer :(

I think the last part of the path will probably be the same, but you should test that on different machines to be sure.

Thanks for the warning!

Use foreach(file in files)
File.Delete(file);

We can't tell where you save your text files, only you know :)

Sorry about that, it should be:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", arguments);
But that does not seem to work either ...

Did you set any breakpoints maybe? do you see any errors?

That seems like the Excel file is using macro's to fetch the data. You will have to try to open these macro's which are mostly written in VBA to know what they do. If you can't, ask the manufacturer for more information.

Can't you use an alternative CI software that runs on Windows?
For .NET development TeamCity would be a better choice.

From the above example you only need the attr.Value to display the values you want.

As you can see in the above example you can also get the text without using any classes, this is probably the simplest way for you.

Do you see "Access denied" ? then try running as administrator.

Thanks for the warning, could have known by the name "TutorialDost" that the site was DOS oriented 😊

Just Google "quarter dates 2021" to see the standard dates

A miracle! 👏

Thanks, sadly no beer icon here :)

So you want each client to have it's own database (SQL Server I assume) ?

Do you have the source code? if so what language is it?

Take a look at button2_Click() in the last example, it does not open a new form.
And remember: I do not have your complete code with all the forms and datagridview!

Take a look at the last example "The Delegates Approach".

Updated the solution with a "chunky" alternative :)

Sorry, I never used this library myself, just found it on Google ...

Can't be of much help I'm afraid, I never used that dll and only found this information on Google. Try posting your question on the forum of the manufacturer.

What database are you using, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL ... ?

That's the link: https://www.slant.co/topics/3535/~best-html-to-pdf-file-converters

Was already afraid of that, I added some alternatives on Slant :)

DesignerSerialization is a very difficult thing, I once tried it (CodeProject: Beveled Panel with Shadow Effect - Now With Tabs) but had to give up.

That seems like a difficult thing to accomplish, you will also need information from the manufacturer of the 3rd party software or some SDK that allows you to communicate with their software. Another (ugly) option would be to scan the Excel file by reading it from your application.

And what does the vbscript look like ? please update your question.

To get online data you probably need to use some API, try to get this information from the supplier of the data. If there is a website try to find the information there.

Thanks Bill, and best wishes for the new year!

Don't think you can check for running state (like for a Windows Service).
You can use schtasks /query to find task names however, see:
https://superuser.com/questions/1034962/how-can-i-retrieve-the-status-of-a-scheduled-task-using-schtasks

Are you sure the barcode scanner is using serial communication? Maybe it's a better idea to go to the manufacturers website / forum and look for more information there.

Bummer, but I think if your xml file isn't too large working with Xelement could simplify things, as the whole xml file is read into memory it will consume more memory than XmlTextReader of course.

Do you see any errors in the Windows eventlog ? How do you create the setup file ?

Sadly MySQL does not seem to support notifications, but maybe you can use this:
https://github.com/Cyclonecode/mysql-notification

See the updated solution with ScriptCS.

You are right, it will only work for COM dll's, the only thing that springs to mind now is to use a disassembler or hacking tool, but that's probably not what you want.

Have you tried adding the DLL's of software B to a C# solution?
Visual Studio normally does a good job of automatically generating interop dll's.

Glad it works, you can mark the solution as solved if you think it is correct.

Yes, I agree it should be used with caution and if this were a real Bank database it should certainly not be used, these databases generally never delete information.

He means:
Delete the row with employee number 00103
Insert the row again, but now with the new bank number

If you have cascading deletes turned on the related information in other tables will be deleted too.

The information on GitHub is not correct: "Alternatively, you can download the latest release in binary format from here."
This is only source code that you will have to compile first.
Or download NAudio-Release.zip from v1.8.4.

Are you using NuGet? then you first have to build before the dll's are pulled.

Probably port 4000 as Richard suggested, here is a nice tool to configure the Windows Firewall: https://www.slant.co/topics/1799/viewpoints/10/~best-firewall-tools-for-windows~windows-firewall-control-by-binisoft

See the updated solution, I also changed the reservations table as it did not seem right to use a timestamp as the primary key.

It seems you have no idea what you are asking, is this some kind of homework question? Then ask your teacher for more information.

Frames can mean a lot of things, e.g. frames in a web page or frames in an animation, what kind of frames are you talking about?

Maybe you can better post this under "Bugs and Suggestions" in the discussions menu. Good luck and keep trailblazing :)

The extra comma does not seem to matter ...

alles turisten und nonteknischen lookenpeepers!
das komputermaschine ist nicht für der gefingerpoken und mittengraben! oderwise ist easy to schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparksen.

I doubt you will get any reactions if you don't even specify the programming language.

Ah well, wisdom comes with the ages :)

And, did you try Solution 2 ? it should work even without a bindingsource.

I'll try over here, but my VB skill are very rusty :)

Knew you could do it! I never use DataAdapters so could not be of much help regarding that sadly.

And can you see anything in DossierDataset ?
If not your connectionstring could be wrong for instance.

Bummer, maybe you can try setting a breakpoint and hover over DossierDataset with the mouse to see if it contains anything, good luck!

In C# you can do it like this:

private void monthCalendar1_DaySelected(object sender, DaySelectedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Days.Count().Equals(1) && this.monthCalendar1.SelectedDates[0].Day.Equals(16))
{
// Ok
}
else
{
this.monthCalendar1.ClearSelection();
}
}

That's hard to say, there are lots of API's each expecting parameters in their own format. So look for information on the website or ask more information from the API manufacturer.

Take a look at: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6509844/msgbox-that-disappears-automatically-after-certain-time

That's hard to say, if the repo's are large I would recommend keeping them separate.
However if the repo's share code it might be more convenient to start off with one master branch and create "feature branches" (all in the same repo).

Thanks :)

And how do you delete, are you using C# or SQL Server Management Studio or something else?

The syntax looks ok to me, but of course I can't see your database so it might be that the datatypes of the Filed1 and Filed2 are different. Maybe you can check in Access and test with a query.

Knew you could do it :)
