It is possible to get values of class level variables using reflection, but I don't think it is possible to write generic code to get values of local variables. Regards Senthil My Blog

No, it doesn't work by mapping to a virtual directory either. I wouldn't have posted this question if it were that easy...thank you though for the suggestion.

Extending on what Judah said, look-up the <supportedRuntime> configuration element. It's only supported in .NET 1.1 and newer, since anything targeting the 1.0 framework doesn't really have a choice for backward compatibility. There's also a lot of information about side-by-side execution in the "Programming Topics" section in the .NET Framework SDK I encourage you to read. I'd give you a link, but unfortunately I'm having connection problems to certain servers. Go figure. It's not hard finding anyway.

Thanks, I'll look into these causes and hopefully find the reasons. I didn't mean to exclude anybody else, I just couldn't think of any other VIP names right offhand. I wanted a straightforward, and knowledgeable answer on this question, and I knew I'd get it if you answered. I appreciate the help! - D

It's not supposed to fire. As I've tried to remind those in this forum many times, most of the Windows Forms controls encapsulate the Windows Common Controls. The TextBox encapsulates (wraps) the Edit control, which paints itself and cannot be overridden as many other controls can (like the Static class, which is encapsulated in the Label class). Even the ListView doesn't work the same with the call to OnPaint. In order to custom draw items, you have to handle the right notification messages. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

I'm pretty embarrassed to admit this, but I discovered that the date column in my database was set to text. At any rate, I did convert things to parameters, so your efforts weren't in vain. Thanks for the help!

Thank you, I appreciate the response! :)

This is what happens when you don't use parameterized commands! I know that I've given you code samples before for this. Creating a SQL command by concatenating your params together is arcane and should not be used in .NET. If you use a SqlCommand, for example, then you should add SqlParameters to its SqlCommand.Parameters collection property and use @_paramname_ in your query without quotes. The command will do what's necessary. See the documentation for the SqlParameter (or OleDbParameter, or any of the others) in the .NET Framework SDK. There are also a lot of other benefits to using parameterized commands, such as easy batch processing when you save the parameters as variables and simply update their Value property, then re-execute the command.

That's pretty slick. Thanks Heath

Because every control is a window and uses a rectangular region. If you want to add a clipping region to your control, override OnPaint and set the Graphics.Clip property to a Region that contains only what you want (like a circle for your aforementioned control).

threre is 2 simple way : 1- using textobject for sending value to your report: create textobject with TextTimeFrom name(or desired name) then in your code set value for TextTimeFrom textobject ...C# code ((TextObject)ReportOne.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects["TextTimeFrom"]).Text = "12:25"; .... this value is placed on your report because textobject will be placed on report area if you want to send parameter to conitional approach use formula field and you can place formula field object on your form or not! second way byy using formula fields 2- create one formula field with YearValue(or desired name,YearValue just is sample name) name and then set that value in your code like this : ...C# code ReportOne.DataDefinition.FormulaFields["YearValue"].Text= "value; (ReportOne is your report ReportDocument object) .... you see it is very simple just with one line coding enjoy of it

You'll get an exception since the parameter contained no value, thus leaving a SQL statement like this to be executed: select * from SomeTable where Name = That doesn't parse correctly and therefore won't execute. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

When using the System.Data.OleDb classes, your options are limited because of the abstraction that OLE DB provides (basically the whole purpose of its existence). With the System.Data.SqlClient classes this really isn't a problem. You might check if the OLE DB provider for whatever you're connecting to supports connection pooling or limitations that might help in this situation. The properties that you pass to your connection string are used by the OLE DB provider for your data source. Other than that, locking against a shared resource (such as a static property of some class) or using a delegation approach to create and execute commands and / or adapters (and synchronizing them internally) are about your only options. It's the OLE DB provider for your data source here that is the problem. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Excellent help as always. Thanks Heath, worked perfectly. :-D
