LordZoster wrote: I need to synchronize the two dataset, being Dataset A the source (XML from webservice) and Dataset B the destination (the database) Yes I understand that you are starting with XML. However that has nothing to do with writing the data in a consistent manner to he database. If you need to read the XML data in a consistent manner than that is still a different problem UNLESS you need to provide some transaction across both sets. If so then, because the first appears to be a file, you are still going to be dealing with a transaction on the database side and for the file side there are mitigations possible but none are ideal.

The BindingSource is supposed to handle this conversion by itself, doesn't it? And, in case I overrun this conversion writing my own one, where should I write it? From what I understand (very little, I admit) I should overrun a whole lot of stuff of BindingSource: in this I totally agree with Andy_J, it is preferrable to use one's own DAL. The worst thing is, that datetime cell is readonly, so there's no need to write it back into the database from the datagridview hence no need to convert any string...

My apologies; it's the ToolStripItem that initiates the action, and that'll be the sender indeed. Thanks for posting the corrected version, always usefull as a future reference :) I are Troll :suss:

you're welcome. For completeness sake, I'm posting a snippet about it: void defValues(DataTable dt) { foreach (DataColumn dc in dt.Columns) { switch (dc.DataType.ToString()) { case "System.DateTime": //datetime dc.DefaultValue = DEFAULT\_DT; break; case "System.Boolean": //checkboxes, bit values ecc dc.DefaultValue = false; break; default: break; } } }

My main response is still: it depends on the control.

I guess that would be done using the FindWindowEx[^] function. At least, that way you could retrieve the current handle. I are Troll :suss:

thanks.

If your implementation utilises BindingSource there are several events that you should consider investigating. BindingSource.CurrentChanged BindingSource.CurrentItemChanged BindingSource.ListChanged The last of these is most likely to be of use to you. Here[^] is a link to the BindingSource reference on MSDN. I am struggling along on 53.6 Kbs at the moment otherwise I would have given links to the events themselves. :) Hope this helps. :) Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

In your original post you said "I would like that the parameter value be read from the app config file.". Well if you read the stuff you found on Application Settings you should have found how to retrieve the value of the parameter from yourapp.exe.config. It is then a simple matter to use the retrieved value where you use your current parameter. Or is it that part that you require assistance with? If so I misunderstood your OP.

I'll go for this.

no, i am talking of partitions in hard disks. Though the name is the same, the topic you pointed me to regards OLAP and BI with SSAS, a totally different matter. thanks anyway.

This is the interesting point :) The user will not have access to Windows settings (mandatory design). If he would attach a non-4:3 LCD to the machine, and Windows shouldn't adapt automatically to the native resolution, I should instead. I agree that is a driver matter. Thanks for the replies.

Hi, Operating on the names of variables is not possible in general; you can use reflection to operate on the members (data fields, properties, methods, ...) of an object. But that is somewhat advanced stuff, and not necessary for what you need. I understand you will get the paths one by one from somewhere (app.config), and want to perform some operations on them; hence I suggest you collect them in a Collection, probably a List< string> is appropriate. You might first check the file existence, and only then insert the path name in the list. Or you could insert the images themselves in the list; that would take more memory, but might better suits your needs. Or you could create a little class that describes an image, holding its path name, its image (initially null, until it is required, hence acting like a cache), and possibly some metadata. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Love, happiness and fewer bugs for 2009!

solved: i launch a command line Process with FORMAT using /Y, an undocumented flag for the unattended mode :)

You can add the console application as an embedded resource, extract it at runtime and use Process class to start it. Here is a similar example: Bat file compiler[^] Giorgi Dalakishvili #region signature My Articles / My Latest Article[^] / My blog[^] #endregion
