XML is a structured text format. Your text data needs to have some structure to it, preferably hierarchical, for you to consider storing it as XML. Otherwise you'd be better off just storing it in a text file. kingletas wrote: but i don't know how to use XML. There's plenty of resources on the web for learning XML. Alternatively, buy a book.

Do you realise that 1 is the second column ? Have you tried using the debugger to work out what the data type in that column is ? It's always better to specify the column names you want, then you'd also know their order for sure, and you'd know what the second column was.

Of course my friend. I started to work on building an small library and so far so good. I would like to learn C# and add some knowlegde of Visual Basic and ASP to help as much as people as i can. There's not way i won't be trying to help somehow!!! Thanks Again! Luis E Tineo S

Are you still having trouble with this? "Real programmers just throw a bunch of 1s and 0s at the computer to see what sticks" - Pete O'Hanlon

The only true way to authenticate is if two parties know who they should be talking to prior to initiating the conversation. Then, both parties can sign all communications between them with their "private key" to ensure they are who they say they are. Other schemes have been produced which attempt to get around knowing anything about someone else before communicating, but they are all able to be cracked in one way or another. The most secure way to set it up would be to store all user public keys, and have all users store the server public key. Then, each user communicates by hashing the message, signing the hash, creating a symmetrical key, encrypting the sym key with the other party's public key, then encrypting the message with the symmetrical key, and sending the information to the other party.

Error messages are so informative these days, that it almost gets too easy. You have the solution handed to you in the error message already: "When passing delegates to unmanaged code, they must be kept alive by the managed application until it is guaranteed that they will never be called." You have thrown away your reference to the delegate. Don't do that. Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.

Hi! The exception tells you that the type Client.Form1 could not be initialized correctly, i.e. either the static type initializer (if you have one) or the initialization of a static member threw an exception. Regards, mav -- Black holes are the places where God divided by 0...

Hey, I totally agree with you Luc, in ten years programming will be so easy that i will become a guru of it!!! With all due respect to everyone, before C# i believe things were a little harder to do, programmingly speaking... I once tried to learn C++ on my own and probably because of the lack of info i had back then it was really hard to do, so much that i could not even create my own classes!!! But life is great now thanks to both :)!!!! Luis E Tineo S

Anyway Dave's tip on a global keyboard hook is one way you can do that. There might be another involving the CBT mode but I'm not sure, also I don't have enough requirments from you to offer any certainties. kingletas wrote: I am planning on modifying certain key on the registry oops I misread your first post to say "if I don't know the key".... my bad :-O There are BCL classes for working with the registry. I don't remember offhand what namespace they are in but should be easy to find.

What do you do before you call SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault? If you create an instance of a form, simply do that after the call to SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault. Experience is the sum of all the mistakes you have done.
