Yes, but you only show how to call it on postback, not on postback response.

As far as I've heard, I'm the only one among my vast collection of friends and acquaintances who has used it in a sentence, but they all understood what I said. :) I learned the word as a child, and don't recall where; I wasn't aware of any connection to the military. Will Rogers never met me.

JUNEYT wrote: Is there a way to load all asynchronous methods before the form loads. If the calls are truly asynchronous then there should be some notification of completion (like an event). I use something similar to the DomainContextLoadBatch class found in this article[^]. This class lets you queue up a bunch of asynchronous calls and doesn't notify you until they have all completed. The class as shown is for WCF RIA Services LoadOperation calls, but could easily be modified for other webservice call types. *edit* If you use that class as a guide, please note that as shown the class is NOT thread safe, so if your webservice calls can complete on other threads you'll need to make sure at least the class' single completion handler is thread safe. You shouldn't have to sleep and wait...that negates the whole purpose of asynchronous calls... Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java: modified on Tuesday, May 24, 2011 12:03 PM

Hi Alan! Thank you for your answer, I got rid of the implicit conversion problem with your approach but Proxy_AgencyInfoCompleted never fires up even I invoke the procedure after ProntoWS.GetAgencyListCompleted += new GetAgencyListCompletedEventHandler(Proxy_AgencyInfoCompleted); statement. Web service doesn't have specific asyncronous methods. Therefore I tried to call the method as follows bur Proxy_AgencyInfoCompleted didn't fire up. Do you have any idea where is the problem? Thank you very much. ProntoWS.GetAgencyListCompleted += new GetAgencyListCompletedEventHandler(Proxy\_AgencyInfoCompleted); // after the following statement I should able to fire up Proxy\_AgencyInfoCompleted GetAgencyList = GetAgencyList = ProntoWS.GetAgencyList(Agent, User, Password, GetCityName, "TR"); What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

It's doing this because when you made your CAB you hard coded the destination path. What you should have done is right'clicked in the file system editor and selected "Add Special Folder." The folder you want to add is the Application folder. When the cab is actually installed then the files that you placed in there will be copied appropriatly to their destinations.

It all depends on what you mean by transparency. In WinForms 'transparent' usually means your control is painted with the background color. This is probably not what you want. Real Transparency is achieved through a technique called alpha-blending, and is available in GDI+, which is currently not implemented in Windows CE. SO you'll have to wait for Windows Phone 7 and Silverlight on the phone to get some operating system support for this (and your mileage may vary). Note that you can still achieve transparency on Windows CE by painting the control yourself, and implementing your own Alpha-Blending routine.

Hi JUNEYT, See this msdn Reference MSDN[^] It's help for you:thumbsup: Pavan Pareta

The icon needs to be set as the icon for the executable in your development environment. Assuming this is a .Net developed program you can right-click on your project, select "Properties", and then you will find the option to set the EXE's icon. If you want the program to show up in the "Remove Programs" UI you will need to have installed it using a cab. For more information on that see htis: Deployment[^] Joel Ivory Johnson J2i.net | @J2iNet

Are you talking about adding your application to the programs group when you install your app? If yes, then i assume that you already have a cab or setup project for your app. If yes, you can add "Games Folder" or "Programs Folder" to your "File System on Target Machine" and add a link to your app to these folders.

There's a walk-through from Microsoft Support here[^], with code-examples :) I are Troll :suss:

I have double checked that whenever I add a new record into dataset gives the correct values as record number (primary key). However, the combobox which I bind to this table doesn't give the right correct values (VALUEMEMBER) when it gets populated from the table. Second row returns 110 which actually must return 105. What a curious mind needs to discover knowledge is noting else than a pin-hole.

JUNEYT wrote: it doesn't produce a new record number but -1. New records get negative numbers because the dataset hasn't been written back to the database yet. The database always assigns the key values, not your code. Update the database with the changes being held in the dataset and your new records will get their keys will get updated with real values.

As far as I know, it should work. I have used ADO in C++.

Yes but you could then tweak the generated hash to ensure that the generate key is within the ascii printable charachter set..... Dave Who am I?: Web|Facebook|Twitter|LinkedIn|Bebo

Hi, see this article for the same with code snippet. http://www.nesser.org/blog/archives/56 hope its help for you. ;) Pavan Pareta

You are a bit stuck I'm afraid. Referencing the Excel Automation objects will not work for you because it is not Excel you are interfacing with, but rather Pocket Excel. Problem is that Pocket Excel does not expose and automation interface, therefore you cannot do it. I have heard that there are third party products that enable you to work on the underlying files directly. www.tmssoftware.com[^] provides some of these, though I have never tried to use them. If you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. Margaret Fuller (1810 - 1850) www.JacksonSoft.co.uk

You may have already seen this but in case you haven't, take a look at How to: Insert New Records into a Database[^] on MSDN. JUNEYT wrote: I don't understand why do I have to assign a new row for the table if I have already bind all the fields in the form to fields in the table in dataset. You have to assign a new row so that there is somewhere for the new data to go. An empty table has no rows and therefore does not have anywhere to put your data. If your table already has data, your controls will be showing that data and any changes to their contents will change the existing data, therefore requiring a new row as before. Something has occurred to me. When I was starting out with DB stuff, I had a similar mysterious problem. In my case it was something really silly. You might want to check this for your application. If you select your database in Solution Explorer then hit F4, the Properties Window will open for the file. Fairly near the top you should see a 'Copy to Output Directory' entry. Is that set to 'Copy Always'? If so, change it to 'Copy if Newer' because otherwise what happens is that every time you run your app, the empty DataBase is copied over the one with the data in it. Oh how I laughed, when I found that. NOT!! :) Henry Minute Do not read medical books!
