I wonder why someone univoted you for the example code. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

Not easy at all and you can't write it in managed code. This requires you to write, what is essentially, a debugger. It also requires you have a thorough knowledge of Windows internals and how processes really work. No, I don't have any references for this stuff.

That's going to be removed in future versions of SQL server.

using WndProc: protected override void WndProc(ref Message m) { const int WM_CONTEXTMENU = 0x007B; if (m.Msg == WM\_CONTEXTMENU) { this.Dlg\_Menu.Show(Cursor.Position.X, Cursor.Position.Y); return; } base.WndProc(ref m); } See my stuff on: <img src="http://www.gstatic.com/codesite/ph/images/code\_small.png" />

Yes Sir !!! :-D

Might I humbly suggest that you have made a grave mistake in selecting CR as your reporting platform. If you have any choice in the matter I would suggest you do some research on the product and more importantly their support. It is abysmal. Dev Express and Reporting Services have a better reputation and there are a few others that will be a better option than CR. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

BCG or DevExpress. I think BCG is better.

you can use the fileupload control which is available in the standard control tool If You Get your answer then please Rating me... Thanks.. "Are You Ready" DX-ARMY

The only way I can think of doing this, is by creating a local variable on your child forms, which exposes your parent form in the child. i.e. Private ParentForm as frmParent. You can pass this info through the constructor of your child form, and in the constructor set this variable like this Public Sub New(ByVal Parent As frmParent) ' This call is required by the Windows Form Designer. InitializeComponent() myParent = Parent ' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call. End Sub Then in your FormLoad event you can set the menustripitems.visible on the parent to false. like this myParent.MenuStrip1.Items(0).Visible = False myParent.MenuStrip1.Items(1).Visible = False Not forgetting to set visible to true in your FromClosing Event. Hope this helps

You would need to build your own, editable print preview does not make sense, what are you going to edit, it is REPORT data not interactive. Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

hi, unfortunately I should say no! I just have the export choice.

Here is one,but not on CodeProject[^] Yonathan1111 wrote: thank you You are welcome. Opacity, the new Transparency.

Before "frm.Show();", add "this.Hide();" Unless you are looking for a modal window that blocks the old window,then I think you change "frm.Show();" to "frm.ShowModal();" Opacity, the new Transparency.

Please don't cross-post to multiple forums. It usually won't help you get an answer any faster and only makes it harder for other people who have a similar question to find an answer.

Looks good, doesn't seem to be a problem with the code. It was on a specific machine? Could there be another application running that's using the same port as SQL Express? You might want to try to connect over IP, using the default port-settings. If it helps, we'll have a clue where to look next :) I are Troll :suss:

can u suggest some books based on win applications

Try Windows Presentation Foundation.
