So I can just send the setup.exe? when I try copying it to a different folder and running it, I get an error. The following error occurred attempting to install 'C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\CostingCalculator\CostingCalculator\publish\Release1\test\CostingCalculator.application': "The system cannot find the file specified. " See the setup log file located at 'C:\DOCUME~1\Tony\LOCALS~1\Temp\VSD1BA.tmp\install.log' for more information. How would I embed the framework? Cheers all /TH

No, you can't. You can create a text box derived class that only accepts numbers and encapsulates the parsing, that's as good as it gets.

NavConnection sounds like it should be a Singleton (i.e. There exists only one instance of it in the application) If that is correct, you can create the class as static (i.e. put static on its class definition and all fields, properties and methods). Then you don't need to store an instance of the class anywhere. You can reference a method on it like this: NavConnection.ServerName; NavConnection.SaveSettings(); The class might look something like this: public static class NavConnection { private static string serverName; public static string ServerName { get { return this.serverName; } set { this.serverName = value; } } public static void SaveSettings() { // Put code to save the settings in here. } } Upcoming events: * Edinburgh: Web Security Conference Day for Windows Developers (12th April) * Glasgow: Introduction to AJAX (2nd May), SQL Server, Mock Objects Never write for other people.

Hi Keshav, Many thanks for the reply I will give it a try. Many thanks again Tony

You can create a DataGridView without a datasource by manually adding columns and rows. However, using some type of datasource is going to be your best bet. Create a class to represent your image specifics and then create a typed collection for your class. Set the datasource of the data grid to your collection. I use a 3rd party grid so you may have some slightly different steps, but this is the meat of it. (For example, you may have to dump the collection into a BindingSource -- I'm not sure though.)

I like the "powers up" part. Kinda makes me think of a huge robot, whose eyes begin to glow as it slowly gets on its feet.... Or a plant after an accident of some kind. You know, with beeping, lights flashing about, strange smells of partly burned electronics... Cheers, Sebastian -- Contra vim mortem non est medicamen in hortem.

LOL Great minds think a like :-D Its not threading its quite procedural, so this should suffice. I'll see if it blows up when I get it into production. Then it might be back to the drawing board. /TH

Gonna bump this as I'm still having the problem! Tony

Hi Chris, Sorry I thought I had replied. I've had a good play with what you suggested and its getting better. Thats what experience is all about, which is what I get from playing. Again many thanks for your reply. Tony

Nooie, I'm afraid I've given you all the help I know how. Maybe someone else knows where you're going wrong. Yeah, AFAIK, doing regasm on the dll built with all the specs we just went over should work. I'm afraid I don't have any other ideas. Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit.
