That doesn't work, this is a .rdlc report, not a normal aspx web form. Escape characters does not seem to work on these reports.

Thanks, it works!!!

this thread talks about your problem - hope it can help - cause I can't ;) http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/43/219462.aspx -spif2001

Thanks for the reply. I tried setting the z-order, but still nothing happens. Do you have some other advise? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I think you are referring to a datagrid in webforms, i'm looking for a answer on a datagrid in a windows form, when the delete key on keyboard is pressed.

You must have a control inside the groupbox that is not of or inherit from WorkersCtl. You could try a couple of different things. You could either throw an if statement in there, to determine if the object is of type WorkersCtrl, and just use the object base class inside your for each decleration. Or...., you could change workersctrl to object, and set a debug statement within the foreach statement, outputing each objects .gettype().tostring() to determine which object is throwing the invalid cast error.

A better way than making it static (you'll run into all kinds of problems with this approach, especially if you want to use the designer after making those suggested changes) is to either pass a reference to the ListView to the form you open, or make a public property that gets the ListView on the first form and pass a reference to the first form into the second form (probably better if you ever want to do similar things in the future), or - finally - provide a way to get the data from the second form inside the first form and then have your first form add the data to your ListView. The latter method is probably best. This allows you to use that form in different places and different ways. Once ShowDialog returns, you can grab that data (in a collection, list, array, a single property or properties, or whatever) and use it however you want. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Set the Taborder of the Textbox as 0 or first focus control of the form.

You should install the Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System, which comes with O2K3 Pro I believe. You can download the Office XP PIAs (primary interop assemblies) which you should use as opposed to making your own. These are verified assemblies that are associated with the COM components and typelibs typically produced by the company that wrote the application that you're interop'ing. The Office XP PIAs can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=C41BD61E-3060-4F71-A6B4-01FEBA508E52&displaylang=en[^] and should work in a pinch (since properly-written COM is mostly backward compatible). The Office 2K3 PIAs cannot be downloaded (except through MSDN Subscriptions), but should be on the O2K3 Pro CD. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

You actually have to add a new DataGridColumnStyle before you can refer to it. If you step through your code in the debugger, you'll notice that .GridColumnStyles["EmployeeName"] name is null - you never created such a column. You have to create all the DataGridColumnStyles you want mapped, the DataGridTableStyle, add the columns to the table style's GridColumnStyles collection property, then add the table to the DataGrid's TableStyles collection property.

doubling up on the single quote should work ie [string].Replace("'","''");

If you want to maintain a precision of 2, use "#.00" instead of "#.##" so that 0 will be used when no number exits in that position. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Don't worry, i got the problem, it was pretty stupid. Thnxs for the help.
