Hello, I have a wap page in C# that needs to output an image so that it can be downloaded onto a WAP device. How do I determine the maximum image dimensions the WAP device can support? 1. The Screen Size property of the BrowserCapabilities object does not seem to do the job. 2. I tried using the System.Web.UI.MobileControls.Image control, (which apparently does the necessary resizing automatically) and the handset could view the image but not download it. Thanks in advance, Darren

Thanks for the reply. Google normally is my friend and I always turn to it first before posting questions anywhere, but I have searched on Google several times trying to find a checked combobox for .NET and have come up with zero every time. I've searched on 'checked combobox', 'checked combobox .net', '"checked combobox" .net'. I've found references to checked comboboxes for Access and there are several C++ versions around, and COM components around but I still haven't found one written in C# or VB.NET. I'm sure there is one out there somewhere for .NET. As for the CheckedListBox, I already know about that but it is not what I am after... Although I may yet have to utilise it by displaying it when a button is clicked on to simulate a drop down. By the way...what is counter intuitive about a checked combobox? As long is there are not too many entries they are very good and for my purposes there wouldn't be anymore than 30 items. Don't get me started on what Microsoft provide in their "Standard Control" offerings... they can't even get a DatePicker (Handling Null Dates) or a TabControl (Can't hide tabs, Can only insert tabs at the end) right in .NET . Anyhoot, The search goes on... Daffrey

Hello, I'm looking for a checked combobox which I can use on a search form. Basically I want to search for "items" with one or more statuses and using a checked combobox would be a compact way of allowing users to do that. But I haven't found one yet... Couldn't even find one on CodeProject :( Anyone seen one out there? Thanks in advance, Daffrey

Hi Heath, Thank you very much for replying to my post, I really appreciate it. Do you have any thoughts on whether it is better to put cultural resource strings for each language into 1 xml file? I haven't written a multi-lingual app yet, but I would imagine it would be easier to send 1 xml file per language to a translater rather than 1 form resource file that .NET normally uses.... However if this was done then it would be more work and a custom resource load routine would be required for each form. The normal .NET way is to set the form localizable property to true and then select the language and go off and enter all of the labels for that language... To me that seems problematic because: 1. The same caption might be used on more than one form. If one developer has to update all of the "Name" captions on every form, then the chances of them missing one or more could be high for an application with many forms. 2. How does that work in practice for a translater? Does the translater need a copy of VS.NET installed and they go through each and every form in the designer? Or do you set the default language for each form. And if your application has 50 forms, then you send 50 resource files to a translater? Did you face any of these issues when you did your multi-ligual application? Cheers, Daffrey

Thank you for your reply. I was originally thinking that I had to put every string into the "custom terminology" xml file, but I guess you are right. I probably only need to put in 30 or so words that end-users can configure based on their own terminology. Some people might call a job a task, some might call it an issue and others may call it a fix. I think I'll need to write template-based error messages. So an error message may look like: "You can't delete the <>. Permission Denied." And then I'll just grab the <> string from the "custom terminology" xml file...

Hello, I am in the process of writing a "shrink wrapped" software product and I would like: 1. the end user to be able to define all of the labels/menu captions/error messages at runtime. (eg. a customer may want to change the label 'Client' to 'Customer' etc. That way, 2 English speaking customers can have different captions to suit their own terminology. And 3 Portugese customers can do something similar and so on...) 2. the application to use locale-based dates/number formats. 3. the resource strings to be kept in xml files - not compiled into satellite dll's Has anyone seen an article/sample app on the web anywhere that explains how to do this? I basically want the end-user to be able to define their own terminolgy (if required) for any label or string that gets displayed to them but at the same be multi-culturally aware. Thank you, Daffrey
