There's many ways to do this. Since RTF, for example, is just simple text, you could write your XSLT to output the necessary lines (actually, XSLT can also output binary files, but this gets much more difficult). You can find the RTF specifications on Microsoft's site, as well as other places if you try googling. To create Word docs, you could do a number of things. You could use the Office PIAs (primary interop assemblies, which is recommended as opposed to making your own interop assemblies) to load the HTML document into word and then save it back out as a Word Document or an RTF document, all without showing the Word UI (it's still started, but not visible until you call Show on the application). Also, Word 2000, XP, and 2003 all support XHTML - an XML document with the default namespace resembling HTML. You could always generate this instead of HTML (which doesn't necessarily conform to XML standards - nor does it have to in some cases). Word 2003 also has a well-defined schema for Word Documents that is also published on MSDN[^]. Finally, in referene to this and your previous question, there's products out there that can save reports (if you're doing any sort of reporting) to many common formats, such as HTML, PDF, and RTF. Crystal Reports for VS.NET comes with VS.NET and is installed by default. The runtime and your report definitions can be distributed freely so long as you have a valid license for VS.NET, have registered Crystal Reports for VS.NET, and are shipping as part of a Windows Forms application (ASP.NET application have additional restrictions and typically require additional runtime licenses). A cheaper alternative is ActiveReports from Data Dynamics[^]. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

FOP allows you to use an XML file with an FO formatted XSLT and produce PDFs. This was original for Java but there is a .NET port at http://sourceforge.net/projects/fop-dotnet[^]. There's also many products that give you programmatic control to create PDFs (even some that can use templates), such as Tall PDF that advertises here on CodeProject. Just try a search for "PDF" and ".NET". You should find several. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Try VARIANT *pVarRes = new VARIANT(); V_VT(pVarRes) = VT_BSTR; and see if that helps.... Steve S

A CLSID is a GUID that references a coclass; whereas an IID is a GUID that references an interface in the coclass. I'm not sure I understand what you're really wanting becuse a coclass can support more than one interface - which means there will be more than one IID. Are you sure you're not wanting the ProgID? if so you can use: CLSIDFromProgID or ProgIDFromCLSID Regards,

XSL (deprecated) and XSLT are just XML documents implementing a certain schema. What I said before applies but how you do it completely depends on what content the transform produces. If you are transforming to HTML, then you need to either add a style attribute to whatever element will be output with the color: _color_; value. If you're transforming to something else, you'll need to change the color appropriately. And no, I don't agree that using an XmlTextWriter is the right way to do, especially when you clearly have no experience using them. Simply load the XSL document into an instance of an XmlDocument and make your changes to the DOM there. You can then save this XML document to a stream, be it a file stream, memory stream, or whatever. Apply this transform then to your XML document using an XslTransform. Again, be sure to read the relevent sections of the .NET Framework so you understand what you're doing and not just guessing and relying on IntelliSense. See Employing XML in the .NET Framework[^] for a lot of discussion on the topic, as well as examples and links to the class library documentation. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Sir Actually i have only the progId of the component now i want to also know how i will get the interfaces in this component dynamically than how can i get the names and return types of the properties in the interface dynamically. so that i will be able to get and set the properties in that interface. Sir please explain me little briefly as i am new to this topic. or if possible gave me a little example too. Thanx in advance Regards minamkhan Inam

Make certain that you are using the .NET wrapper that is in the design toolbox and not doing your own ActiveX control. You have a Win32 form which (as the exception states) is apartment threaded. Unless you use specific thread types that are apartment-aware, then you will get that exception. It sounds like the control on your form is trying to start a thread of its' own which is a no-no in a Winform. This really goes beyond COM, unmanaged debugging, etc. as it is the implementation of the control, not the actual execution of the unmanaged code. _____________________________________________ Of all the senses I could possibly lose, It is most often the one called 'common' that gets lost.

If I understand you correctly, you need to know control which triggered context menu when you handle MenuItem.Click event. When you handle this event sender is a context menu so it wont't help you much. However, if you handle ContextMenu.Popup sender is the control triggering the event. What you can do is this: create a field in the class where you handle events object controlWhichTriggeredEvent; Then create a handler for ContextMenu.Popup: private void YourContextMenu_Popup(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { controlWhichTriggeredEvent = sender; } Now when you handle MenuItem.Click , controlWhichTriggeredEvent will contain the latest control clicked by user (you will have to cast it to label of any other control).
