Hi, I have a control array and have tested the control type to find a listview. I want to assign the control to a listview with something like below. System.Windows.Forms.ListView olistview = new ListView(); olistview = g_control_array[i]; C# does not like this and i get a cannot convert control to listview. Is there a way to achieve this as I can't find anything to help do this. The only othe way I can think of is to establish an array of listviews as well but i would prefer not to do this unless I have to. Thanks for any help. Stephen

Hi, What I would like to do is have an MDI form 'look' to see what components are available and set-up a menu accordingly. I guess I would like it to be like a framework so I can use it for anything and just make available the components I want the users to use. How can I do this? I am not sure how to load the component and then show it in the MDI? Any links to articles that cover this or any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi, I am writing an SQL Server database application and I have noticed that under Management there are some database locks from my application. I don't think this is a good thing and want to make sure I am releasing the connection properly. How can I do this? At the moment I am doing this. connection.Close(); connection.Dispose(); connection = null; Is this enough? Thanks Stephen

Hi, I wrote an application that has a server application running on a machine as a console application. The problem with this is that the machine must be logged in for the program to work. The client does not want this. The console application monitors port 8080 and process's and returns data from an SQL server database. What can I convert the server application to that would allow it to run without the computer being logged in? Thanks. Stephen

Hi, I am wanting to create a Treeview Thread for loading the tree. I tried just calling the procedure that loads it and I got a control invoke issue. I have never created a thread before so I am looking for a sample if possible. Thanks Stephen

MDAC installed fine when I installed the framework for .NET.

Hi, I get the following error in an application. System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x80040154): ? I have set up a test machine where I can reproduce the error and it seems to be at a point where I am using SQLDMO to connect to a database. The wierd thing is that it works fine on my machine but not on a workstation. the only difference between the machines as far as database is that I have SQL Server 7.0 on my machine and the test machine does not. How can I find out what is needed to resolve this issue as far as files etc? Thanks

I would like to change the backcolour of the display text but there does not seem to be a property to do this. Is there a way to change the backcolour at runtime ? Thanks Stephen

When typing text into arich text box and I hit enter no new line is created. Is there a property to change to allow the user to create as many new lines as they would like? thanks

With the standard treeview when a user right clicks a node to show a context menu the selected item does not change. I want to force this change. Is it possible and if so how? Thanks for any help.

Is it possible to stop people from being able to decompile a C# program or to 'rip' the code out of a compiled application? Thanks. Stephen

I have several projects that make up part of a solution. What I would like to do is share two froms across two seperate projects. Is this possible and how? Thanks in advance. Stephen

Hi, I have a DataGrid full of data which I would like to print. The columns and data are different depending on what query is run by the user.
