You, Sir, are a very good man. I forgot totally about calling the ReadXml method, saves me from having to turn everything into an XSD and can simply populate the crystal report using it instead. Bob for President.

Oh, I see, yes when a consumer temporarily can not keep up with a producer, you would need more buffering, or split the consumption effort in a real-time task and a delayed task (a queue could be helpful here). Under the same conditions, and assuming new files (OnCreate) are of interest, it might be wise not to use a FSW at all, and to scan the folder yourself (e.g.with Directory.GetFiles or the newer Directory.EnumerateFiles) especially if the consumer is to also delete the files once processed. :) Luc Pattyn [My Articles] Nil Volentibus Arduum The quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get.

Thanks for that, didn't know you could do that. Will that also grant access to the query string as well? Will need to see it to extract the parameter names from the query string?

sounds like a permission issue have you checked the directory permissions? Take a look at my corner of the net at Code Research Center

Try changing the direction of the output parameter to Return. Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before. My blog | My articles

Hi! I think one important point that might not be entirely obvious is that you sort by one column first and only have to return the result of the second column's comparison if the items to compare are the same in the first column!

save it to XML or in a new table in data base With reference of the file and a flag of file usage check it every time user tries to access the file (and don't forget to cleanup after user finished working ) Regards Amar Chaudhary

Are you creating these files, or just importing them into the database? If it's an import, just traverse through the directory and get the files that match your file mask, and import them one at a time. It seems like a longer process to concatenate the files. In the case of an error, you will know exactly which file caused the exception when they are imported separately.

Are you looking for something like this... grvMain.Rows[0].Cells[1].Text; I hope this helps. I have worked quited a bit with gridviews so let me know if I misunderstood your question. If you have controls you are attempting to check in the cells it should look more like this... ((TextBox)GridView1.Rows[1].FindControl("txtProviderID")).Text. Regards

Alternatively use Split - it has a parameter specifying the maximum number of strings in the array result.

Thank you very much, will give it a go.

Thanks for replying folks, much appreciated. The code works perfectly, thank you. I will bear that in mind about the Gregorian Calendar too, thanks for pointing it out. Again, much appreciated. Scott ;)
