Application Programming Interface... This is a better explanation than any I could do for you[^] “If we are all in agreement on the decision - then I propose we postpone further discussion of this matter until our next meeting to give ourselves time to develop disagreement and perhaps gain some understanding of what the decision is all about.”-Alfred P.

Are you sure your tab order is correct. It could be if the tab order was changed your third party grid would get focus. Hope that helps. Ben

Now I understand :). Generally speaking if your grid is derived from System.Windows.Forms.Control, it can recieve focus. If that control has focus and tab is pressed, any child controls inside will be focused. After last child control is focused, focus is passed to another control (on same level as your datagrid). If your Datagrid is derived from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl, it won't recieve focus, only it's children. This is default behaviout which can be changed and it's really hard to help you if u cannot change the source code. There is one thing u can do. U can hook on GotFocus event of your datagrid. Whenn triggered, try to browse child controls of that grid and focus first one(or maybe first one of type TextBox) . But that may not work at all, depends on implementation of that datagrid... hope that helps...

If I oversimplify this or you all ready know parts of this, I appologize. But here goes... MP3 files are made up of a bunch of music sections, each having a header. At the end of the file is a TAG 128 bytes long. The Gist of getting the duration of an MP3 is to first get the size of the file, then subtract 128 bytes for the TAG. Divide the number of remaining "Bits" in the file by the bitrate. So to get the file length: . . using System.IO; . . FileStream MP3File; . MP3File = new FileStream("C:\\mySong.mp3", FileMode.Open); . FileLength = MP3File.Length; // gives file length in bytes . And for the duration: . Duration = ((FileLength - 128) * 8) / bitrate; //gives duration in seconds . The problem now lies in getting the bitrate. If you know all your files are say 128kbits/sec you can cheat an get a pretty good estimate. So your formula would be. Duration = ((FileLength - 128) * 8) / (1024*128); The problem is real MP3 files can have different bitrates within individiual song blocks. So it would be neccessary to read each block header for the bitrate and then add everything up at the end. Rather a tedious exercise. Hope that helps a bit greycrow

Hi, Maybe Windows Media Encoder is help you.

There are a couple of ways that you can do: + Use the Directory.SetAccessControl method. + Use the cacls tool and you can use the Process class to make it work. + Use WMI.

are you deleting from your database table? are you reloading the grid after each delete? There is an example at: http://www.programmingknowledge.com/simpleDataGrid.aspx[^] =postmaster

dropdown date control is one where the calanden dosn,t open in a new window.no need to give window.open... Let me try it once again and if any doubts i will post it Regards, Sivaprasad

Thanks Minphc. Thatz a pretty useful link Regards, Sivaprasad

The code seems to correct to me. I think the page should get postback. Best Regards, Apurva Kaushal

The ClientId property of the control contains the id that you can use from client script. Note: You have to hide the control using css, not the Visible property, otherwise it will not be rendered as html and you can not show it using client script. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

If you are re-posting a form by reloading the page, the browser sends up this warning. This is a security precausion, so that the user won't re-post data without being aware of it. The warning might be able to disable manually in the browser, but not by using script. --- b { font-weight: normal; }
