firstly I would not check the connection every second, I would only check it just before I upload the file. I use a function like the following to check if a connection exists :- Public Shared Function IsWebSiteAvailable(ByVal Address As String) As Boolean Try Dim oUrl As New System.Uri(Address) Dim oWebRequest As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(oUrl) Dim oResponse As System.Net.WebResponse = oWebRequest.GetResponse oResponse.Close() oWebRequest = Nothing Return True Catch Return False End Try End Function There I would the code the upload as follows If IsWebSiteAvailable("www.mysite.com") Then DoUpload() Else MessageBox.Show("Internet connection unavailable.") End If Steve Jowett ------------------------- Sometimes a man who deserves to be looked down upon because he is a fool, is only despised only because he is an 'I.T. Consultant'

No. Nor is this an ASP.NET question. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ "I am working on a project that will convert a FORTRAN code to corresponding C++ code.I am not aware of FORTRAN syntax" ( spotted in the C++/CLI forum )

i think you can't add more columns to a binded datagridview, but why don't you set the width of last column to fill the empty space Vilsad P P MCTS (Windows Applications) .Net 2.0

I am not sure if following is helpful or not but I first converted Excel file int .CSV using MS-Excel and then used following query. LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '' INTO TABLE FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'; My query LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\ukpostcodes\\uk.pc.ll.csv' INTO TABLE postcodes FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' ENCLOSED BY '"' LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n'; Naveed Kamboh Complexity kills, Write easy code for your self. isolutionteam

because you need to change is Textbox to is Combobox. Posted by The ANZAC

When you create the web service in your windows or web app there is a Timeout property that you can set. It is in miliseconds, so 1 second = 1000. I think if you change this to a larger value you won't get a timeout. Hope that helps. Ben

The code posted uses the Timers.Timer object which runs on a separate thread. Trying to change UI elements like visibility of a button will generate a cross thread error. It's unsafe to access controls from a thread that didn't create that control. Instead try using the forms.timer. Dim WithEvents myTimer As New Windows.Forms.Timer Public Sub myTimer\_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles myTimer.Tick Button1.Visible = False myTimer.Stop() End Sub Private Sub Form1\_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load With myTimer .Interval = 5000 .Start() End With End Sub

Hi Chee Ken, If you don't want to use GroupBox controls to group your radio buttons, because you don't want the border and title of that control, you can use Panel controls, which are practically the same, but have no visible borders and no title text. Otherwise they work pretty much the same way. Good luck, Johan My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

Since you are changing the topic you should start your own thread. BUT, you just need to set a function name to be called in the OnClick event of the template column's checkbox. That function should be Protected instead of Private. Cleako

What is happening is you are returning a object not a integer, so what happens is when you use the toString method you get the text of the type, in this case the System.Data.DataRowView. If you made the changes I suggested you should be looking at the object and not the Text. You should be able to expand the object to see what property or method you need, most likely : cbComLevel.SelectedValue.Value or cbComLevel.SelectedValue.Row

It depends on two things: 1. do you use databinding between the table and combobox? If you do, then yes, you would need to insert the entry into the table and refresh the databinding. If you fill the combobox with your own code though, and just use the table as a source, you could insert the entry straight into the combobox. 2. do you need the entry for your combobox to be saved into the table, or does the table only contain the basic entries, and are new entries just temporary in nature? If you need the new entries to be saved, use databinding, and write the entry into the table, rather than to the combobox. If they are only temporary, write them straight to the combobox, and do not use databinding. Is that what you meant? Johan My advice is free, and you may get what you paid for.

That depends on your server. Either the client gets its own IP address and sends it in the log message or your server code will have to determine it, but how that's done depends on what type of server your writing. Is this a Remoting component, Web Service, TCP/IP sockets-based server, ...? Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

i am the beginner for asp.net, can you show me the code ? thanks. Best regards, Chee ken

If you only want to validate the input eg "12", "12.32", "128.25", etc, etc... You can use the Range validator, and set the Type to "Currency" and the operator to "DataTypeCheck"
