I googled a bit and tried using ; and | as separators, but they don't work. In fact, using | as a filter separator throws an exception. I suppose the best bet is to call the method multiple times and club the results together.

Are you saying that if the contents of folder Foo appear sorted by name in Explorer, your app should offer them sorted by name; and if the contents of folder Foo appear sorted by date created in Explorer, your app should offer them sorted by date created? AFAIK, there's no way to do this. Cheers, Vikram. http://www.geocities.com/vpunathambekar Google talk: binarybandit After all is said and done, much is said and little is done.

I order to switch to a "fullscreen" mode you must set the Window class's dwExStyle=WS_EX_APPWINDOW; dwStyle=WS_POPUP; And force the window to fill the entire screen. I think the changes to the window class I mentioned above can be achived if you set the border property of a window to none. And, if you have problems with the TaskBar, set the TopMost property to true ;) I hope you understand...because is a rough world out there...

If you are using .NET 2.0, its methods and classes of GDI will help you, you may use an invisible panel which shows up only when its full screen and set it Dock property to Fill, and then show the image as a background for it, and when he clicks Esc key, hide it and show the regular PictureBox "Praying." Is this only what I can do for him ?

Alcohol 120% is great. It's all I use to make cd/dvd images, but he just wanted to emulate the images not make them. Plus Daemon Tools is free:cool: Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Unfortunately we don't. We used to be able to get good deals from suppliers but over the last 12 months it became harder and harder to secure decent prices so in the end we had to call it quits on MSDN. We do sell Visual Studio .NET and will be selling 2005 when it comes out. We haven't been told prices yet but we'll let you know as soon as we can. cheers, Chris Maunder

What? Value types derive from System.ValueType which in turn derives from System.Object, so they do have ToString() defined. Regards Senthil

theoretically all you need to do is: go to control panel -> system -> advanced tab -> environment variables now add a new variable, either to system or user. you can now reference this variable via the same ($OutDir) syntax in Visual Studio. we do this where i work, but the IDE only picks up the variable some of the time on my machine :doh: there doesn't seem to be any pattern to this, and since our variable ($QTDIR) never changes i simply replace it with the actual path when ever .NET 2003 starts complaining about being unable to find it. also, you may have to reboot your machine before the variable is correctly detected. worth a try, in case it works more reliably for you :)

When you hit f5 your are running the debugger. Hit ctrl+f5 (runs without the debbuger) and it should be a lot faster.

I've been doing it and everything seems to be fine. Signature under construction.

I also have them both on my laptop. They seem to work fine. Although I also tried them both on my desktop which they proceeded to screw up my system. Moral of this story - use Virtual PC and install beta versions inside that... HTH John Young Yippee Kai Ya... Signed Polomint.......

That's a good scenario for a "pre-check"! :) The problem is that, as the documentation states, Demand checks callers higher in the stack. While all callers higher in the stack may have the permission, you may not. So, lets say you add this code in an event handler you've assigned to an event defined in the BCL assemblies (like handling Button.Click or something). Invoking the delegate (your handler) happens from the BCL. Those assemblies would have FullTrust permissions, but you might not. Now, when you simply call File.Delete, you become the caller and don't have that permission, so the SecurityException is thrown. A simple work-around is to attempt to create a dummy file (and delete it, if successful). If you can't write the file, you won't be able to delete a file (well, at least from the CLR's perspective).

An application can only tell the CLR what it needs to run. It can't grant itself permissions; that would defeat the purpose. Do you trust someone just because they say they're trustworthy? I certainly don't. If you use an assembly-level permission attribute, the assembly is not even executed so you can't handle an exception (unless you're a different assembly trying to use a type defined in that assembly, when it's loaded for the first itme - you really have to understand how the CLR works). You can grant your assembly or assemblies FullTrust permission (again, that's a big cop-out and not a very good idea) if you use assembly evidence to match up with membership conditions for a code group. Assembly evidence is strong name identity evidence and publisher (x.509) evidence. If you add a CodeGroup using either of those membership conditions, then your assembly will be granted whatever permission set you choose. If you use host-based evidence like URLs or site, then an assembly matching that evidence will be granted those permissions. A codegroup is installed into a machine's policy, yes, which is why you have to install it onto all machines. This is no different that ActiveX security (what little there is) policies and Java sandbox policies. This can be distributed through Windows Installer packages, batch files, start-up scripts, whatever. Distributing a policy is not hard if you no what you're doing. Don't just read the article; read the other links I gave you as well. The article here on CodeProject explains Code Access Security, but there's more information about setting up code groups and why.

This is what internal processes are for. Some version control systems alert you of changes, such as the upcoming Microsoft Team System. If something changes, the compiler won't know - it's P/Invoking an unmanaged API so there is no type metadata, plain and simple. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Hi, I am not sure if I grasped your question completely. But here is my take: I see two options: - Have a windows or web service as a layer or interface between the outside program and your database. Since your database contains sensitive information, probably it is a good idea to allow connections only locally i.e. from your windows or web service. - Second option would be to encrypt the data before you store it in the database. This way you do not have the hassle of encrypting an decrypting data everytime some program accesses it. You encrypt it only one time when you store it in the database and maybe decrypt it on the client side again. Hope that helped. Best, Pankaj Without struggle, there is no progress
