Thank you Nick! I did need to use an XPathNavigator but even then the error message about using XmlResolver still appeared. Upon further research I found that XmlResolver is a argument in the Transform method. Transform(XPathNavigator, XsltArgumentList, TextWriter, XmlResolver); I had left this argument out and that is what generated the error. I still have no clue as to when or why to use a XmlResolver but found when I inserted a null for the arguemnt as it appears in your code that the error disappeared. Transform(nav,null,writer,null); I suspect you can create custom resolvers to influence the Transform but that's for another day. Problem solved. Thank you. Kyle

Hi Andy, I set the value of this.Width to equal 300 in the constructor for the custom textbox control and then changed it to 100 in the property browser. Upon running the form the textbox reverted to a width of 300 which led me to the false statement above. I just tried setting the value to any other number than it's original default and it worked as you described. The original default number was influencing the behavior I was describing. Thanks for the explanation about the DefaultValue. That makes sense. I agree it's a bad idea to change the default name. I was interested in changing the default, not necessarily getting rid of the sequential number, but it was a bad example to choose. Thanks for your help. Kyle

hi thx for all the info, i havent , well cant try this at the moment, i have no printer :( there is very good printing examples in the code of the book GDI Plus (chapter 9) . u can download it at www.wrox.com . hope u that helps :) perhaps u are just missing a line or 2 :) PS: i see NOW that u need to paint the contents of the richtextbox to the derived graphics object from the PrintPage event. from msdn: Handle the PrintPage event where you specify the output to print, by using the Graphics included in the PrintPageEventArgs. the problem is to "paint" the content correctly to the graphics object. sorry, at the moment i cant help u anymore :(

Thanks, that does the job. Have a nice nap ... Kyle

Yes, that did help. Thanks. Kyle

Thank you Tom! I'll let you know how it goes. Kyle

using System.Management; . . . ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem WHERE Primary = TRUE"); ManagementBaseObject inParams; ManagementBaseObject outParams; bool temp; foreach (ManagementObject os in searcher.Get()) { temp = os.Scope.Options.EnablePrivileges; os.Scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = true; inParams = os.GetMethodParameters("Reboot"); outParams = os.InvokeMethod("Reboot", inParams, null); os.Scope.Options.EnablePrivileges = temp; } You can also specify Shutdown for the method...

Thanks guys, Here is an approach that works well. Kyle using System.Management; string drive = "\"c:\""; string filename = "\"test\"" ; string extension = "\"exe\""; string qry = String.Format( "select * from cim_logicalfile where drive={0} and filename={1} and extension={2}", drive, filename, extension); ManagementObjectSearcher query = new ManagementObjectSearcher(qry); ManagementObjectCollection queryCollection = query.Get(); foreach(ManagementObject mo in queryCollection) { Console.WriteLine( "Name '{0}' :Path: '{1}' ",mo["Name"], mo["Path"]); } [Edit: The : P shows up as a smily face. Although I am happy with this result the smily face was unintentional. ]

It'll make it so the Key* events won't fire when an arrow key is pressed but try moving the base.OnKeyDown call so its only called if the key wasn't an arrow key. It could also be that the TextBox inside the cell is trapping those keys; so you're seeing the behavior of the TextBox and not the datagrid.

override the MouseDown Event from the ListBox Control: private void listBox_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { if(e.Button != MouseButtons.Right) return; int nIndex = listBox.IndexFromPoint(new Point(e.X,e.Y)); if(nIndex != -1) listBox.SetSelected(nIndex,true); } Rgrds Martin

You need to add the following event to your parent form: this.MdiChildActivate += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_MdiChildActivate); then here is the code for the handler. private void Form1_MdiChildActivate(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show (this, sender.ToString()); } HTH

keybd_event(VK_F1, 0x45, 0,0); keybd_event(VK_F1, 0x45, KEYEVENTF_KEYUP,0); ================= Or something like that: GL Igor

Pull the data into a DataSet, then use the DataSet while printing, keeping track of which records have been printed. This is beneficial two fold, first you are closing your connection to the database sooner, and second you can make use of the DataSet elsewhere as well (Print Preview).
