Thanks for your infomation, Luc. I'm using your approach, and it works fine. I just got another question, if the PC is a remote server that different user may login to the server and launching the same application. May I use the same function to detect what specific user is launing the application ? thanks

There is an infinite number of definitions for "checksum". All that is basically required is the same data always returns the same checksum, so you could take an algorithm as simple as summing all of the individual bytes, up to wherever your imagination brings you. If MD5 is involved, you still have to decide how your original data would be presented to it, and how the resulting bytes would be converted to the output format your system wants. Without a detailed description of the algorithm used on one side, you'll have a very hard time coming up with a matching implementation for the other side. Having one side implemented in either .NET or Java should allow you to peek into the code (using Reflector for .NET, JAD for Java) and create the same stuff again in e.g. VB.NET If, not clear, you need VB, not VB.NET, then I don't know MD5 implementations are readily available. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [Why QA sucks] [My Articles] Happy New Year to all.

here it is: SELECT DISTINCT table1.[USER],table1.inv,table2.fromcountry FROM table1,table2 WHERE table1.inv=table2.cid ORDER BY table1.inv I Love T-SQL "Don't torture yourself,let the life to do it for you." modified on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 8:37 AM

Would you mind provide me a sample code for creating a bitmap. I've read some doc, it needs to create Bitmap header as well... actually, the raw data (image from char* ) must eventually save into Png file, so I want to save it to Bitmap first, and then convert to png. modified on Monday, February 04, 2008 9:01:59 PM

Maybe this CodeProject article[^] will help. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] This month's tips: - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google; - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get; - use PRE tags to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets.

This is a constant RGB macros of the COLORREF structure. Anyway, from 0 to 255 numeric values are equivalence a 24-Bit COLORREF's scope. If you want to chance only RGB macros, you can use the typedef struct tagCOLORREF structure. Forexample: #define XYZ(int i1, int i2, int i3) 0 int* pNewInt = new int[255]; pNewInt = NULL; #ifdef COLORREF for(int i=0; i<255; i++) { // I'm not sure just as already it will be defined a XYZ macro. RGB(pNewInt[i],pNewInt[i],pNewInt[i]) = XYZ(pNewInt[i],pNewInt[i],pNewInt[i]); } delete []pNewInt; #endif That is must be a defined tagpoint struct what own yourself. modified on Thursday, January 31, 2008 6:05:14 AM

Thanks so much PIEBALDconsult ~

Hi! You can achieve this quite easily by writing a class to assign to the ListView's ListViewItemSorter property. Within your LVItemSorter you can sort to your heart's desire without having to remove and re-insert items. Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where God divided by 0...

Hi! I guess you've created a setup and deployment project to install your application and are starting the program using a shortcut created there, right? In this case, Windows Installer checks if all the key files in your installation are still there and if not tries to reinstall them. I can't describe it in all details but this should get you started. Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where God divided by 0...

wel this time I am having an example in c++ ;). its from 0 to 3,999,999. here is the link. http://www.programmersheaven.com/download/16171/0/ZipView.aspx[^] its not too much complex. try it. Mujtaba

It's not a good idea to put spaces in field names. If you do, they MUST be delimited by square brackets, like this: INSERT INTO wpGuest ([First Name], [Last Name], Phone, Age, Status) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?)

Thank you for all of your replies. I have tried to use TextRenderer.MeasureText(), it works fine.. But I still prefer using Graphics to Measure, I found that it is more accurate. Because I need to set some scaleing and measure unit in graphics. The method I get the Graphics is, I create a Form, and then use Form.CreateGraphics(), seems a stupid method ^_^, but works finally.

Could anyone show me some examples? I feeling difficult how to initial the Graphics, so that it measure the String in correct unit,

Hello, You could use the CreateBitmap Method of the panel class. All the best, Martin

Thanks so much stefan. Just have another question, do I need to call dispose or close after the process ended? e.g process.dispose(), process.Close(); And, it looks difficult to lock the original application after running this process. Because I don't want to let user do anything after popup this process.
