Well I would assume that "Choose the correct forum" means just one. And, as I said you have been a member here for long enough to know the generally accepted protocols. Som Shekhar wrote: I could do with a little less of leg pulling. This isn't leg pulling, it's explanation.

I guess I'm not understanding how the property will update the checkox. The child is updating the property in frmMain. How does the checkbox in frmMain know the property just changed? Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

Are you having problems with a specific piece of code (in which case we'd like to see the plaintiff), a specific task (how do you connect, execute etc) or a specific platform (ie, installation problems of Postgre on Suse?)

You can do it by issuing an command over an IDbConnection. You can get help here off course, and alternatively, you can search MSDN or the documentation of the Framework Libraries[^], and there's the Postgre documentation[^].

I didn't say I would use it through choice :) Like you say though, for juniors in particular it can stop some bad habits (and introduce some different ones :laugh: ), so I thought it may be of interest to the OP Bob Ashfield Consultants Ltd Proud to be a 2009 Code Project MVP

here is a simple recipe: 1. tell your IDE to always show line numbers; see here for Visual Studio[^]; 2. look at the file name, method name, and line number when the compiler or the run-time system generates an error or exception (in general, however not here, as you are having a compile=time problem: for run-time problems, this implies you look at Exception.ToString() and not Exception.Message) 3. that most often points you straight to the line at fault. 4. now take the error message literally, and try to apply that to the problematic line. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] I only read code that is properly indented, and rendered in a non-proportional font; hint: use PRE tags in forum messages

Are you capturing the key presses in your dialog proc?

I guess a windows service that will regularly check for iexplorer.exe in the processes running on a system should work. If, it finds the process, start your windows application then. I also think you can probably make your application as IE add-in. You can find help creating add-in here[^]. 50-50-90 rule: Anytime I have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability I'll get it wrong...!!

Not without digging down into some ugly Win32 APIs. Why not set the FormBorderStyle to None and write your own resize code? If my answer has helped you, one of my articles may also be a help. Also remember that your best friend's name is google.

I may have misunderstood your requirement, I think you want an off the shelf SCADA system instead of developing a customized SCADA system. http://global.wonderware.com/EN/Pages/default.aspx[^]

Hi Shameel, thanks for the tip. It really seems to be a memory leak. But it has nothing to do with the folder browser dialog. The leak probably occurrs in another referenced dll. Best Regards, Viola

DON'T ask the same question in multiple forums. Identify the most appropriate forum for your question and post it ONLY there.

Hi, I am not sure that I get you right but if you want your application to change screen resolution : change screen resolution C# As for the shrink or grow, thre is the Form.AutoScaleMode which I haven't worked with. Natza Mitzi Analysis Studio - Statistical Analysis

I wrote something like this back in the day and I will look for it. But dragging controls is very demanding since they redraw all the time causing flickering and bad performance (at least in .net 2.0).You can show squares when you drag or implement it by adding custom redraw on bitmaps which may still cause problems, very complicates and has relatively poor performance. This is a big task and you should be looking for a nice peace of code to start with.Try looking for a custom drawn object source code it will be a good start. I don't know whether you should use an off the shelf product, check quality and pricing first. I found this here : Drag and Drop Image C# Natza Mitzi Analysis Studio - Statistical Analysis
