Hi all Need some advice. I have a byte array that contains my image taken from a database. I need to put this byte array into some control on a webform to display the image. I have tried using the Response.BinaryWrite() but that clears my webform and places the image in the top-left corner. How do I display this image in a certain position on my webform?? Thanks.

Ok guys, comments definitely taken on board!! But can't believe that if you want to insert a new line at a specific point, it means rewriting the file to a new file and deleting the old one. Is this the industry standard way its always done?? So what if I wanted to just update a line?? Would I still have to write to a new file and delete old?? Also could I trouble you for maybe a quick example of placing everything into a StringBuilder with the new line. Thanks.

Hi I have a text file with the following layout: [PROFILE1] SYSTEM=home DEBUG=true [PROFILE2] SYSTEM=laptop DEBUG=true What I want to do is insert a new line after the FIRST DEBUG LINE in PROFILE1 so the whole of PROFILE2 then moves down a line. My problem is that I keep overwriting the start of PROFILE2 e.g [PROFILE1] SYSTEM=home DEBUG=true testline 2] SYSTEM=laptop DEBUG=true Can you take a look at my code and see what I am doing wrong!! if( File.Exists( "d:\\networld.ini" ) ) { long lFilePos = 0; string sLine = null; FileStream fs = new FileStream("d:\\networld.ini", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite); // Create a new streams to read and write to the file StreamReader sr = new StreamReader( fs ); StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter( fs ); while( sr.Peek() > -1 ) { sLine = sr.ReadLine(); if( sLine.CompareTo( "[" + "PROFILE1" + "]" ) == 0 ) { lFilePos = sLine.Length; while( sr.Peek() > -1 ) { sLine = sr.ReadLine(); lFilePos += sLine.Length + 2; if( sLine.CompareTo( "" ) == 0 ) { fs.Seek( lFilePos,SeekOrigin.Begin ); sw.Write( "testline\r\n" ); sw.Flush(); break; } } } } sr.Close(); fs.Close(); MessageBox.Show( "Finished Writing To File." ); } Thanks a million.

What properties can I set on the web form and the data grids to make them display the fastest speed possible??? Thanks

Hiya I have an asp.net app and when the user chooses "log off", I want to close all open pages of the app. How do I do this?? Thanks

Hiya I have a asp.net app that contains a frameset (banner and content). For the left most page (my button panel), I have set a form that contains image buttons. When the user clicks an image button, another form should open in the center frame. My problem is that I do a Reponse.Redirect() but the page opens in the left most page (my button panel). How do I tell the page to open in the center frame?? ------------------------------------------------ header form ------------------------------------------------ button1 | FORM SHOULD OPEN HERE!!! button2 | button3 | ------------------------------------------------ Thanks.

Yeah sorry Andy, didn't explain myself very well. Nothing to do with web server or server app. I have a asp.net web app that contains many forms. In the web app, I have a frameset and a contents.htm file for my frameset. So on startup, the first screen they meet is the log on screen. So they log on and a new web form opens containing the frameset so they can browse between different web forms. Now I also have a log off screen, so when the user clicks "Log Off" button, in here I need to kill of the screens the user has opened and return them to the log on screen, incase a different user wants to log on. How do I do this??

Sorry, one last question. I am creating a log on/off web app. How do I close all open web forms??
