It is not your ListView that is the problem but the ImageList. This is a well known problem and it is disgusting IMNSHO that M$ have not fixed this huge bug by .NET 3.5! :mad: My rant doesn't help you though, so take a look at this CP article Adding and using 32 bit alphablended images and icons to the imagelist control[^] to see if it helps you understand what is happening. If that is no help try Googling on C# imagelist transparency. You will get loads and loads of hits. Good luck! :) Henry Minute Do not read medical books!

I would suspect that your problem is more to do with the connection timeout you are using in your connection string. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

The easiest and fastest way is to fill a DataTable with your data and bind that to the DataSource property of a DataGridView Control.

Thanks for the reply, i just forgot to tell that i am woking on Winforms not ASP.Net.. how would be do it in Winforms.. ??? Thanks... Ahmed

I think it depends on who you are building it for. If the client is stupid, and thinks .Net is new and hence better, then create it in .Net. However, I think un-managed apps will have problems with it. (Not sure). And I am not sure, even if it is possible to support the things you need. .Net is new, and you won't find (m)any experts in it. If on the other hand, you are serious about creating the control, that is easy to use, easy to modify, can be controlled to the finest of details, is real-fast, then go for Un-managed. And you can get help from the Gurus if you ever get stuck. 1- It can contain web-browsers, if you need them. 2- It can contain buttons, list boxes, etc. 3- Can adjust its position, size. 4- Can support drag-drop. (Not sure how .Net apps will behave to that). this is this.

ok,..i have fixed it by changing the server config file tag from to now its working fine,.. now i have another problem,.i cant debug the server side dll hosted in IIS,.although i am attaching it to w3wp.exe but to no use,.. ihave also used Debug.Assert(false) but futile,..i check the w3wp.exe using a tool the monitors path where a dll is loaded from ,..it loaded my server dll from a very starnge path,... my dll is also not registered in GAC,..but yet it loads from that strange path,(i guess cache).i deleted my dll from that path but it copies it again,.. any help on as to how to debug,.??? as an alternative i am debugging by making a service that loads my dll,.. but how to debug using IIS???? thanks Ahmed

If you have the CWnd pointer of the target window (main window, for now), then continuing from there is very, very easy. First, use GetTopWindow to get the first child window of the main window. Save this into a seperate pointer. Using the returned pointer, first call ::GetClassName to get the class name of the window. Specify CWnd::m_hWnd as the HWND parameter. If the returned name matches "SysListView32", then this CWnd is the list view control. If the name doesn't match, use the child window pointer and call CWnd::GetWindow( GWL_HWNDNEXT ) to retrieve the next window in the chain. When the pointer is returned, use CWnd::IsChild with the main window pointer to determine if this window is still a child of the target window. If it is, compare the ::GetClassName again with the list view control classname. After you find the CWnd that a) Is a child of the main window b) Matches the list view control classname, then use DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST like this: CListCtrl* pListCtrl = DYNAMIC_DOWNCAST( CListCtrl, pMainWindow ); This will give you a pointer to the CListCtrl class of the list control. If the returned value is NULL, the cast failed. It shouldn't be NULL, because the SysListView32 is encapsulated by the CListCtrl. Remember that your project must be compiled with the Run-Time Type Checking option set to Yes. Otherwise the cast will also fail. Now use the CListCtrl pointer to manipulate the list view control. -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- The definition of impossible is strictly dependant on what we think is possible.

I typically use a break point, not for the reason of breaking at that line of code, but for marking a line of code for later return. As a bonus, if the IDE is shut down, the break points are saved whereas bookmarks are not (they used to be in earlier versions of VC++).

You used CToolBar or CToolBarCtrl? In dialogs, you should use CToolBarCtrl. CToolBar is useful only in frame windows (only frame windows support docking) Robert-Antonio "Love without sex is like a fish without antlers"

thanks alot for solving the problem i had to change yr code a little like this m_Editor.SetEventMask(m_Editor.GetEventMask()|ENM_SELCHANGE); ahmed

The callback function takes the cb parameter, which contains required size of CRichEditCtrl data. You can grow the HGLOBAL memory with GlobalRealloc. Robert-Antonio

Muhammad Ahmed wrote: to read memory outside the memory area allocated to my program..... There really isn't a physical memory "allocated" to your program, every application has its own "virtual memory" in the operating system environment and some parts of this space may be in the physical memory while some may be on the pagefile. I think you should first read about the topic "virtual memory" before digging into kernel mode drivers or dos etc.

hi: the issue is solved it should have been like CButton* pButt=(CButton*)GetDlgItem(IDOK); DWORD newstyle = ::GetWindowLong(pButt->m_hWnd, GWL_STYLE) | BS_ICON; ::SetWindowLong(pButt->m_hWnd, GWL_STYLE, newstyle); CWinApp* pApp=AfxGetApp(); HICON hIcon=::LoadIcon(pApp->m_hInstance,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDI_CLOSE)); if(hIcon==NULL)AfxMessageBox("null icon"); pButt->SetIcon(hIcon); return bResult;:) thanks ahmed
