Hi, I expect rtb.Font to define the default font (used when adding text), and rtb.SelectionFont to set the font for the current selection (if any). So if you want your one font for all text in the rtb, set rtb.Font before loading the rtb with text; otherwise modify the font for (parts of) existing text by selecting and SelectionFont. :) Luc Pattyn

Check the registry key in regedit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International Here are all the windows format settings stored. To edit this value's from within your program you have to use the Microsoft.Win32.Registry class. PS. When you want to edit/update an value you need to use the method CreateSubKey and not OpenSubKey This code will change the long date time representation of windows to DayName DayOfWeek MonthName 4-digit Year: RegistryKey objReg = Registry.CurrentUser.CreateSubKey(@"\Control Panel\International"); objReg.SetValue("sLongDate", "dddd d MMMM yyyy"); Hope this is usefull...

Easy. A client-side Java Script component. The code that shows the machine details is running in the BROWSER, not on the server side. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

There's no reliable way to do that. For example... If you're talking about only Windows machines, you can try to contact the WMI Service on that machine, IF it'll let you connect to it at all, then ask WMI what the O/S is. Not every machine has a WMI Service running on it though, so it's not a reliable method. The only other way to even attempt to do this is to probe the ports that the machine has listening and try to analyze the measly pieces of information you get from there. Again, a problem arises because of the multitude of firewalls that are now running on all kinds of machines, blocking the very information you need! Add into the mix Linux machines, Macs, ... Basically, what you want to do can't be done... Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic
