I guess this is simple and straight question. IIS integrated windows authentication doesn't accept my userid and password. I am using the same userid and password that i use to log into my computer. but iis is not accepting it. Anonymous authentication is unchecked This is a windows XP proffessional not connected to any server should i be incuding my computer name also in the userID ?? Any help is appreciated, yojimbo

Hi, i have a createUserwizard control in which i also collect some Personalisation information stored using Profile. Profile.FirstName = Firstname.Text; Profile.LastName = Lastname.Text; Profile.Age = Age.Text; Profile.Save(); then later in my profile page after user has been authenticated i am trying to show the profile properties FN.Text = Profile.FirstName; LN.Text = Profile.LastName; ageIs.Text = Profile.Age; Now the problem is the profile properties are being stored in database(which i can see in sqlserver2005) but when i try to diplay profile properties in my Profile page data is not being retrieved from the database . I can not understand why?? yojimbo

How do i disable the a toolstripmenuItem of menustrip in an MDI form from the child form. or can i access the toolstripmenuItem of MDI form from child form saying some thing like this.MdiParent.MytoolstripmenuItem?? well i dont to pass the MDI form instance to every child form, just to disable some toolstripmenuItems Any help is appreciated red yojimbo

In my windows app I have a MDI parent form and a child form. In my parent form i have Menustrip control with toolstripmenu items File and windows File further has subItems open and exit In child form i have a Menustrip with toolstipmenu item File. This File item has a subItem save and fileItem has the following setting fileItem.MergeAction = MergeAction.MatchOnly; Now automatic merging of the child and parent forms is going rightly after merging my Parent form menustrip has this File with subitems ---open ,save and exit But the problem is my child form is also showing a menustrip with File Item. However it doesnt show save subitem of the File, which is rightly merged to parent File item. I dont understand why the File Item is being shown in the child form. The child form is not supposed to show any menustrip as everything from child form is automatically merged to the parent forms menustrip. Any help is appreciated, yojimbo

i am a newbie so bear with me. Form1:: public void Bttn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form2 r = new Form2(); r.Show(); this.Hide(); } This works fine for this form ie Form1 as u have said that it is not necessary to create one more instance of Form1 and rather use this.hide(). but i have one more event in Form2 called Form2Button_click event where i need to hide form2 and show Form1. Now if i create a Form1 instance as shown below i will have two instances of Form1. One which was hidden using previous code and Second instance in the Form2 button click event. public Form2Button_click(object sender, EventArgs e) { Form1 newInstanceForm1 = new Form1(); newInstanceForm1 .Show(); this.Hide(); } 1)How do i access Form1 from Form2 without creating a new instance of Form1?? or how do i get hold of the original Form1 instance from Form2 2)You have also said that it is better to create two Forms as controls......where do i create those controls?? i have only two forms Form1 being the main form. So do i need to create these forms as controls in main()?? i am just confused Any help is appreciated, yojimbo

Form1 is shown from from Main as follows main() { Application.Run(new Form1()); } buttonClick event on form1 { Form1 f = new Form1(); f.Close(); Form2 r = new Form2(); r.Visible = true; ) This ia modeless form and also am not using any mdi forms concept I tried r.show() also its not working yojimbo

Hi, I am using visual studio team suite 2005 for developing a windows app in C# I have 2 forms Form1 and Form2 I have a button control on Form1 called Bttn. In the click event of the button i am writing the following code so that i close the current Form i.e. Form1 and want to show Form2. MY code:: Form1 f = new Form1(); f.Close(); Form2 r = new Form2(); r.Visible = true; but with this i have 2 problems 1) Form1 is not closed and Form2 is open i.e. both forms are opened (f.close() is not working) 2) After running the app, when i close Form1 Strangely Form2 is also closed. but however if i close Form2 only that form2 is closed as expected. I am not implementing any mdi forms concept. Any help is appreciated thanks red yojimbo
