First and foremost, Service Packs for the .NET Frameworks. Every one of them has had at least one so far. The service packs cannot be applied to the application once "baked" by one of these utilities. Second, depending on how much of the framework your app is using, they can generate massive .EXE's for deployment. And, if you have a bunch of these apps built with the .NET Framework baked into each, the collection can suddenly have the same framework multiple times for each .EXE. I've heard of problems or total non-functionality of Reflection with some them, though I haven't bothered to test these claims either way.

Yes, that was the problem, thanks for your help. cellardoor

SQLite is another good option Main site[^] wrappers[^]

You don't need an Mdi setup to do that. It is possible to do in tab pages, though I'm not saying it's a good idea. You will you will not get designer support for this. You have to create your forms as if they were normal, then you have to modify the forms and add them to the appropriate TabPages in your code. There is a hidden little property of a form call TopLevel. Set this property to False, then you can add the form to any container that holds Control objects.

Did your app really exit ? or does it still show in Task Manager ? (probably because one of its foreground threads did not finish, because it isnt done yet, or you forgot to make it a background thread). :) Luc Pattyn try { [Search CP Articles] [Search CP Forums] [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] } catch { [Google] }

It looks very similar like examples from MSDN. I am surprised it doesn't work.... I don't really have much experience with "new" xml classes in .NET 2.0 , but did you consider XmlSchemaValidator[^]?

i don't suppouse d:\Test.xml is an empty file :D well, i've been using this method for some time and it works fine for me. maybe you should try adding some data to the tables in the dataset then ds.WriteXml(file) and then try newDs.ReadXml(file).. if this will work i'd mean your file is somehow bad, and if not then hmm.. you could also try putting the typedDS.ReadXml("d:\\Test.xml"); in try-carch block.. i had some situations when no error occured and after surrounding code with try-catch exception was handled.. life is study!!!

search on code project, and you will find many; all kinds of bar code in all kinds of languages. Did you see this one [^]? :) Luc Pattyn

I'm pretty sure that's an IE-specific (i.e. Windows) location only. Different browsers store cookies in different locations. This[^] app knows them and takes advantage of this fact. /ravi Just say "No" to Celcius Home | Music | Articles | Freeware | Trips ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

Isn't there a possibility in the DataSet object?? ReadSchema and WriteXml - - - --[ i love it when a plan comes together ]-- - - -

thanks cellardoor

It seems you forgot to post the question. You've got the problem but no question ;-)

It's been a long time, but I remember looking that stuff up on MSDN[^]. there is an object model on there somewhere as well. good luck.
