Hello Code-Frog, You can use ComponentOne PDF for .NET in an ASP.NET page. C1PDF does not have a GUI, so even though it is a .NET control, it works in an ASP.NET page also. With earlier VS versions, you could see ASP.NET compatible .NET controls in the toolbox along with the regular ASP controls, but there is an extra step for VS2005. You need to go to the design view of your .aspx page, then go to the Main Menu and select View|Component Designer (refer to http://helpcentral.componentone.com/PrintableView.aspx?ID=1405[^]). This view will allow you to add C1PDF to your WebForm. Then you can get input from the end user or wherever and add it as plain text or RTF to a PDF document. You can change the font and color of the plain text. The resulting document can then be saved to a file or stream.

Hello Amar, There are some instructions on MSDN, http://www.msdn.com[^], just search for zip. There are also other implementations, such as ComponentOne's Zip for .NET, that are easier to use. This is a .NET control, but it will work just as well in ASP.NET since there is no GUI interface to get in the way. If you would like information on Zip for .NET you can visit http://www.componentone.com/products.aspx?ItemType=1&TabTypeID=1&PanelIndex=14&TabMapID=57&Itemid=26&Tabid=70&SubCategoryTypeID=0[^].

Hi, I don't know if you are using MSFlexGrid or VSFlexGrid, but both are similar. MSFlexGrid was based on VSFlexGrid (by what was at the time Video Soft). However, while VSFlexGrid has direct support for checkboxes, it does not look like the MSFlexGrid does. If you do a Google search on MSFlexGrid Checkbox, you will find some possible workarounds http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=msflexgrid+checkbox&btnG=Google+Search[^]. If you are using VSFlexGrid, it is easy to add the checkboxes. All you have to do is set the ColDataType property of a Boolean column (0\1, true\false) to FlexDTBoolean. For example: vsFlexGrid1.ColDataType(10) = FlexDTBoolean Many of the properties are the same between MSFlexGrid and VSFlexGrid, so if you wanted to use the VSFlexGrid instead it would be easy to attach existing code to the control. To learn more about VSFlexGrid, please visit http://www.componentone.com/products.aspx?TabTypeID=1&ItemType=1&PanelIndex=16&ItemID=54023&SubCategoryTypeID=0&TabMapID=71&TabID=91[^].

Hello, Which report designer are you using? It sounds like you could be using the ComponentOne Report Designer, from either Reports.NET or VSReports. If you are, any field directly below a field with CanGrow set to true will move down automatically to accommodate the new size of the field above it. Assuming that you are using ComponentOne... If you continue to have problems, there are updates available here http://prerelease.componentone.com/[^]. You may need to click the link at the top of the page to see the full product listing.

Hi, VS 2005 does allow you to create ASP.NET pages without IIS. The pages are served somehow through Visual Studio. If you create an ASP.NET page and run it in debug mode, it will run. I know that some parts of SQL 2005 will also run without IIS, but if you find that you need a feature that requires IIS you could have your IT department install it on a server for you. IT would need to set up the proper permissions for you, and set up the databases, but you can then connect to the database remotely through a data provider on your ASP.NET page.

Hello Uma, GridView may or may not have something similar, but ComponentOne's FlexGrid for .NET allows you to load an Excel sheet directly into the grid via the LoadExcel Method. There are few different possibilities for parameters. For example: 'Load the first sheet in the file FlexGrid1.LoadExcel("myFile.xls") 'Load a specific sheet, sheetname1, into the grid FlexGrid1.LoadExcel("myFile.xls", "sheetname1") You can also add a FileFlags parameter, but it is difficult to explain here. If you are interested, check for FileFlags Enumeration in the FlexGrid help file.
