The other reply suggested using table dataatyles. If I remember correctly, if you don't have a table style, all columns in the data table are shown. If you add a table style to the data grid, you have to create a table column style for every column you want to display. So if you have a data table with 7 columns, and only add 5 table column styles, you only get 5 columns in the grid. But as the other reply suggested, add a table column style for the hidden cell and set its width to 0, but that might allow the user to resize if he clicks at the right place. -- LuisR Luis Alonso Ramos Intelectix - Chihuahua, Mexico Not much here: My CP Blog!

Send this to your grandma: In ASCII numbering: H (72) + O (79) + L (76) + Y (89) + B(66) + I (73) + B(66) + L (76) + E (69) = 666

It must have been a really long day! I'm not sure what you are doing, but you have the answer in your question to some degree! A bit harder question would be how to put a "\" in a textbox! To apply your question to a possible development problem let's display numbers which will be contained in parenthesis and a "-" if the number is negative. private void SetNumber(TextBox displayArea, decimal balance) { displayArea.Text = balance >= 0 ? balance.ToString() : string.Format("( {0} )-", balance.ToString()); } _____________________________________________ tagline under construction!

Simple. Just handle the KeyDown event. Check the KeyCode that is passed to you on the KeyEventArgs for Keys.Delete or Keys.Back. If those are set, set Handled to true: myTextBox.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(myTextbox_KeyDown); //... private void myTextBox_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { e.Handled = (e.KeyCode == Keys.Back || e.KeyCode == Keys.Delete); // Execute your code instead. When finished, Windows will not perform // the default action. } Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Another quick performance tip (although it doesn't explain why it is slower the second time around) Change your while loop to: while(drd.Read()) { Search.Rows.Add(new object[] {drd[0], drd[1], drd[2], drd[3]}); } sbp.Text = string.Concat(Search.Rows.Count.ToString()," records found.") Now you only generate your text once, which should speed things up. Also, I changes the stringA + stringB notation in to a string.Concat() method call which is a wee bit faster. --Colin Mackay-- EuroCPian Spring 2004 Get Together[^] "You can have everything in life you want if you will just help enough other people get what they want." --Zig Ziglar

WOW I figured it out I just put dg.DataSource = null; before it exeutes and it fixed it. somehow when you put a datatable into a datagrid whenever you add back to the datatable it is SLOW. hope this helps some people who come across this as well =) ------------------ I'm naked under my clothes...

In that case, derive from the appropriate ComponentDesigner and override the Verbs property to return a collection of DesignerVerb objects (see documentation in .NET Framework SDK for more information about these classes - it's really pretty straight-forward). Finally, attribute your component with the DesignerAttribute attribute, passing the Type of your designer from above to the constructor of the attribute. For more information, see Enhancing Design-Time Support[^] in the .NET Framework. Sorry for the confusion - it's late. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

NeverMind I found out the problem, here is the working code. conn.Open(); cmd = new SqlCommand("SPSearchRmiInfoFirstname", conn); cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure; cmd.Parameters.Add("@Firstname", "O"); dad = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd); dad.Fill(cpData.Dataset); rp.Load("cp.rpt"); rp.SetDataSource(cpData.Dataset); cpv.ReportSource = rp; I forgot to pass the info of the dataset LOL ------------------ I'm naked under my clothes...

Thanks for the hefty answer, I'll try all that :) ------------------ I'm naked under my clothes...

If you're talking about the ones commonly used in Windows, they're not icons. It's an image strip (a bitmap resource) and you can find most of them in %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\browseui.dll. Open the library in Visual Studio and you'll see the resources. Expand the Bitmap category and search through the different bitmaps. It contains image strips of various resolutions and color depths. You can use ImageList.Images.AddStrip to treat them as separate images for use in ListView, ToolBar, custom classes, etc. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

datagridname[datagridname.CurrentCell.Rowindex,0] Mazy No sig. available now.

Call the funcitzon "by name": public void MyFunc(Function func) { //get the type of the object containing the method Type type = this.GetType(); //get the method System.Reflection.MethodInfo methodInfo = type.GetMethod(func, BindingFlags.Default); String result; if(methodInfo == null){ result = TextConstants.MSG_MethodNotFound.Replace("Method not found"); }else{ //call the method result = methodInfo.Invoke(this, null).ToString(); } }

Did you trace the constructor call in single-step mode? Maybe it calls a neverending method, or it calls itself like that: public MyClass(int x):this(x){}

This can be done thru RTF (Rich Text Format) codes via the richTextBox.rtf variable. You will need to be careful when you do this because if you break the format rules it can break the display up. If you search on MSDN you should find a list of all the codes.

I think that it is good try to use the following API : NET_API_STATUS NetMessageBufferSend( LPCWSTR servername, LPCWSTR msgname, LPCWSTR fromname, LPBYTE buf, DWORD buflen ); try to import it to you class and use it , and i think that now you can send escap characters like /n /r .....

Threads = headache Random threads = insane! Theortically you could create a hashmap or similar, create a random string value for the key and an instance of the thread for the value. That way you would have random names associated with the threads, plus you could still enumerate through the collection. Plus the collection could grow and shrink as necessary. But please... dont ;-) /********************************** Paul Evans, Dorset, UK. Personal Homepage "EnjoySoftware" @ http://www.enjoysoftware.co.uk/ **********************************/
