Ok, so come to discover that there was some issue with the image itself and Firefox could display it, but IE could not. Thanks for you suggestion though.

Thanks for the reply. Because there was no actual change in the class (just version) I was able to just change the Version number listed in the binary file to the new version and it cast fine from there on out.

Thanks for the suggestion, I actually just figured it out. There is an XML file that lists all a bunch of types for this Query Builder tool we have and in this XML file it specifies the version, so all I had to do was update the version number in this file and it started working fine.

Ok the cause of this was my own stupidity... specifically I had a property trying to return itself in the getter, it's fixed now.

I figured out the problem and have a workaround in place... When the designer runs the constructor on my user controls there is a custom combo box on each that fills itself from the database. When I open it in the designer when it trys to fill the combo box it can't find the connection so it chokes trying to get it from app.config. The combobox and usercontrol are in a namespace and project with windows controls that are used in several applications. The form is in a project for the application I have a static class that loads settings from app.config (in order to lower the ammount of string literals strewn about my code) in a project and namespace that has a bunch of business logic classes and the sort. I figured that the designer was having trouble finding the connection string because of all the different projects, so I copied app.config to each project, but that didn't change anything. Long story short, in my static class (AppSettings) I check to see if the connection string is null, if it is then I hard coded the connection string to the dev database and return that (see below). It's lame, but I don't know what else to do. public static string ConnectionString {   get   {     ConnectionStringSettings csSettings = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Default"];     if (csSettings == null)       return "<dev connection string here>";     return csSettings.ConnectionString;   } }

I'm not sure what you are trying to do but List<> is already sortable public class Employee {     public string FName;     public string LName;     public Employee(string fname, string lname) { FName = fname; LName = lname; } public static int CompareFirstName(Employee e1, Employee e2)     { return e1.FName.CompareTo(e2.FName); }     public static int CompareLastName(Employee e1, Employee e2)     { return e1.LName.CompareTo(e2.LName); } } List<Employee> list = new List<Employee>(); list.Add(new Employee("Joe", "Smakatelly")); list.Add(new Employee("Sue", "Rummy")); list.Sort(Employee.CompareFirstName); Console.WriteLine("First Name"); foreach (Employee e in list) Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", e.FName, e.LName); list.Sort(Employee.CompareLastName); foreach (Employee e in list) Console.WriteLine("{0} {1}", e.FName, e.LName); led mike

Yeah, that did it, thank you.

Try this code: Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor; YourForm frm1 = new YourForm(); frm1.MdiParent = this; frm1.Show(); frm1.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized; Cursor = Cursors.Arrow; - Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities -

Thanks for the reply. I figured that is what I would end up needing to do, but I wanted to see if anyone had other ideas. Anchors do what I need them to do 90% of the time so it's frustrating when they don't do what I want :p

It may be different, but I usually do my versioning scheme as: v.mm.yy.build, where v is the major version ( of course ), yy is year, and build is just the build number. As odd as this sounds, it helps me keep track at a quick glance when the code was built.

Disappointing :( Thank you for the reply though, I guess I will try and make something work with ShowDialog().

if you are creating an *.msi installator or any other that makes use of windows installer tool... you will need the .Net in most of cases. I made the install of my app with the NSIS and it required nothing speciall. Other tool recommended by people that I asked is the Innosetup.

Ah well if you add a custom action, then you should be able to use the System.IO.File.GetAccessControl(name); to get a FileSecurity object, and then use fsec.AddAccessRule(new FileSystemAccessRule(...)); Mark Churchill Director Dunn & Churchill

The code is optimized for "readability" and "maintability", so everybody understands what is going on. Maybe the compiler does the rest of the work via detecting the first four @sql string statements are constants, and make one string of them.:cool: The sql varchar(8000) seems to be a little to big. But better too big than to short. X| And a clever compiler knows that the constants strings and 2000 are less than 8000. I dont know how clever a compiler of "today" is. :confused: Greetings from Germany

Maybe to determine whether "HasSubstatus" full loading of an object is required AND the object itself is not used anymore AND the useSubStatus is used later. Anyway, nothing justifies writing if (new Project(pid).HasSubstatus) useSubStatus = true; else useSubStatus = false; instead of useSubStatus = new Project(pid).HasSubstatus; :-) Greetings - Gajatko

That's better. Now I can see what the error is. You can't specify more than one path in the path property. You have to add two keys in the httpHandlers tag, one for "*.htm" and one for "*.html". --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

The company will expect x hours' output. Each boss will expect x/2 hours' output. In reality dividing your attention between 2 bosses goals will take y hours so your output is x-y. Each boss will get (x-y)/2 so they're both likely to be disappointed with you (unless you secretly put in the y hours at your own expense... bad idea).
