That sort of defeats the purpose really of the Thunderbird Newsreader. I liked the ability to read the first paragraph or two and then scroll down and read the whole article if it interests me. If it grabbed my attention I would then open the page in the browser window. Clicking "Full Site" opens yet another browser window/tab which I then need to close and then repeat this process for each item - the majority of which don't interest me. This behaviour only started a month or so ago so somewhere, someone has changed something and as far as I can tell it is most likely a Thunderbird issue. Glen Harvy

Yes - thanks for that. I reworked http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms404320.aspx[^] and passed the bindingsource to the control. Works well. Regards, Glen Harvy

Hi Oliver, First, my sincere thanks for responding. I have delayed answering because I wanted to look further into this and do some testing.

Hi, using a Gridview "id" to bind the data. For example, GridviewID.DataSource = ObjectDataTable; GridviewID.DataBind();

Here's my latest effort: string tempDBLocation = MainForm.dataDirectory + @"Temp\\"; string tempXMLFile = tempDBLocation + @"tempData.xml"; string conString = "Data Source=" + tempDBLocation + "my.sdf;Persist Security Info=False"; SqlCeConnection conn = new SqlCeConnection(conString); SqlCeCommand command = conn.CreateCommand(); conn.Open(); string tableName = "Config"; SqlCeDataAdapter mySqlCeDataAdapter = new SqlCeDataAdapter("select \* from " + tableName, conn); DataTable myDT = new DataTable(tableName); mySqlCeDataAdapter.Fill(myDT); myDT.WriteXml(tempXMLFile,XmlWriteMode.WriteSchema); conn.Close(); conString = Properties.Settings.Default.mycourtsConnectionString.ToString(); SqlCeConnection conn2 = new SqlCeConnection(conString); SqlCeCommand command2 = conn2.CreateCommand(); conn2.Open(); SqlCeDataAdapter mySqlCeDataAdapter2 = new SqlCeDataAdapter("select \* from " + tableName, conn2); DataTable myDT2 = new DataTable(tableName); mySqlCeDataAdapter2.Fill(myDT2); SqlCeCommandBuilder ccmdBuilder = new SqlCeCommandBuilder(mySqlCeDataAdapter2); for (int i = 0; i < myDT2.Rows.Count; i++) { myDT2.Rows\[i\].Delete(); } myDT2.ReadXmlSchema(tempXMLFile); myDT2.ReadXml(tempXMLFile); command2.CommandText = "SET IDENTITY\_INSERT " +tableName + " ON"; command2.ExecuteScalar(); mySqlCeDataAdapter2.Update(myDT2); conn2.Close(); And of course the Update command now generates this error: The column cannot contain null values. [ Column name = ID,Table name = Config ] It makes sense of course but how do I get around this - or must I generate an insert command and do it that way. Glen Harvy

I think I may be confusing myself with the UI Culture and the computers culture. In my application I don't touch the computers culture and therefor I didn't think there would be a problem. For example. the application's user can chose to set the UI culture to English or Spanish ie the labels/text in the program can be displayed in either English or Spanish. If they are using the program on a German computer then the dates etc will still be in German. As you said, I could have ignored the culture altogether and just used the ResourceManager as a wrapper. I'm trying to test all this on a VM but it's a bigger task than I imagined because the .Net version is in English so 'OK' is 'OK', not whatever is German for 'OK'. What triggered my 'panic' was that I have a Kuwaiti prospective customer who wants to get rid of the '$' and presumably use 'KD'. I paniced because I would have expected it to use 'KD' or whatever currecy symbol is appropriate for the users region. Apparently there is no region specific culture for Kuwait so I think my application is performing as it should anyhow. Thanks for your input - it seems I only needed to talk it through. Glen Harvy

Glen Harvy wrote: I don't see how .Net can recognise it as a double because it hasn't got a "," in it. The C# language always uses period for decimal separator, regardless of any culture settings. When you write a literal value in the code, it's always written the same. Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Your best bet is to make the object available via a property which can throw an exception or return null if you don't want it to be available.

Thanks for your response - much appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out down here!! I have changed the SSCE 3.5 to type Money (there is no 'decimal' in SSCE) as well as the dataTable to type decimal. (I have also tried other numeric types as well in my trials and tribulations). Providing I don't execute the following, I don't lose the decimal portion: this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0); this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges(); this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0); I'm almost at the stage of using strings to store my data and a hell of a lot of conversions but that seems ludicrous :mad: Somethings changed between VS2005/2008 and CE3.01/CE3.5 :confused: Later ... The problem was with VS2008 not updating the SQLce data engine during conversion. Once I "reconfigured" the dataadapter all was fixed. Glen Harvy

Thanks for your response. I've never used reflection either! Guess I'll have to learn :) I've tried googling (always do) and I'm sure it's there but what do I search on is the hard part :( Glen Harvy

I guess, your memory is low or your harddisk is nearly full.. I'm using the VS 2005 everyday and I don't have that problem.. Is there any third-party control on your window form??

It doesn't get any better than this ...:-D Thanks again. Glen Harvy

Thanks for that - in this case I'll handle the situation differently. Glen Harvy

dr.AcceptChanges(); Do your best to be the best

There's no obvious event that I can find (eg cellEnter) so I can store the value before it's changed. Goodnight and thanks for your suggestions :cool: Glen Harvy

Hi Glen, Disabling a form can be handled in several ways: you can disable all the Controls (not recommended), hide the form, or make sure it can't get focus (that is exactly what you get with a modal dialog). There are many ways to get the work done; using a Thread, a ThreadPool thread, or a BackgroundWorker are amongst them. And that is independent of your form situation; the thread or whatever simply runs in the background; it gets organized by either the form or the modal dialog, your choice. Hope this helps.

Yep - I agree with you. Thanks. Glen Harvy
