Thanks vinod, but i use the same connectionstring. Regards, -SIFAR.

There really is no way to determine that without iterating. Unless you make the user pick the port manually.

Hi, looks like the installer works on 32-bit environment (Wow6432Node, this is absolutly transparent for the installer). The application works on 64-bit and looks up the key like on a 32-bit mashine without Wow6432Node. is there a way to compile a installer for 64-bit sys? I'm not adept in installers. ;-) bye

If you create your setup, you can add a "Special Folder" like it's called in VS2008. There you can select the "Program Files (x64)" folder. I don't know if this works in VS2005 too...

My standard practice is to write migration scripts for new versions of the database. Then you can use the migration scripts to update the old database. This can be a lot of code to maintain so what you do is an iterative update process. IE, convert DB V1 to DB V2 then convert the newly created DB V2 to DB V3, etc. This is much easier than writing infinite migration scripts. Be cautious because you will come across database that just cannot be upgraded with 100% accuracy if you do not have a solid change control policy in place. Need custom software developed?

Thanks Hariharan, But a non-admin user can view the graph for few seconds when the application starts. After that the 'Red Cross' appears... Regards, -SIFAR.

Maybe this helps? http://trackday.cc/b2evo/blog2.php/2007/08/02/net-xmodem[^] I won’t not use no double negatives.

Place this code under your main class. //Force application to use culture En-US. System.Globalization.CultureInfo cultureInfo = System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("en-US"); System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = cultureInfo; happy coding...

Thanx Dybs, I had already tried this approach but it does not work under Windows Vista. Actually, in Vista when you login as Administrator everything works fine. But with users other than Administrator it does not works. Vista creates different registry entries for othe Users. I have found below solution : I have used ManagementObjectCollection and ManagementObjectSearcher. ManagementObjectCollection ManObjCollection; ManagementObjectSearcher ManObjSearch; ManObjSearch = new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * from Win32_PnPEntity"); ManObjCollection = ManObjSearch.Get(); foreach (ManagementObject ManObj in ManObjCollection) { if (ManObj["Name"] == "Name You Are Looking For") { // Do Some Job.. } } This has worked fine for me with XP and Vista, (Administrator and Non-Administrator) and it is fast also. Hope this would help you further... Regards, -SIFAR.

Try to restart the machine or go to device manager and right click on your computer name and click scan for new hardware.

Good solution.

If Bdate is a date then don't call ToSTring() when setting the parameter OledbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Bdate", DateTime.Now.ToString());

It's done, Thanks Prasanna. Regards, -SIFAR.
