Using a DataGridColumnStyle is the best way to do this. That's what they're there for - to customize the data-bindable cells in a DataGrid. There's an easy article about this in MSDN posted a few months ago at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/03/08/DataGrids/default.aspx[^]. If you don't want to use this mechanism, then handle the DataGrid.CurrentCellChanged event, determine if you should show a ComboBox for the current cell, then add a ComboBox to the DataGrid's container's Controls collection with a higher TabStop than the DataGrid, and size the ComboBox to match the cell's extents. This is a really poor way of handling this and I'm not guaranteeing that it'll work. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

I have previously favored indicators such as the Myers-Briggs personality profiles, even the simpler ones that can be found online. Even if not considered absolutely "accurate," the purpose is to find that broad brush, the one that indicates one individual is more or less aggressive, more or less submissive, and more or less extroverted. If you delegate a task to someone who would rather be led and you are hoping that they will figure it all out by themselves, then you will be doomed, simply because the person doesn't behave (according to their personality) the way you want them to based on what you have asked of them. While communication is an important aspect for a phyically separated team, "knowing your audience" is also invaluable. Dave "You can say that again." -- Dept. of Redundancy Dept.

I can't help with team co-ordination, but you can find a lot of information about configuration management at the CMWiki[^]. My recommendations for a distributed configuration management operation would probably be SourceOffSite or Vault by SourceGear[^]. SourceOffSite requires at least one licensed copy of SourceSafe; Vault requires SQL Server (I think it can work with MSDE, for your very small number of users) and IIS with ASP.NET, since it's implemented as a web service. Or there's always CVS (:~ about administration, though - it looks horribly complex)

Hello Gurus, I use public/shared connection at Form level for my desktop application. Especially, when you frequently create and destroy connections, performance woud be improved dramatically. One note: you have to close an OleDbDataReader before it lets you reusing the same connection. Khang Nguyen :-D
