Thanks for the suggestion. I see the trial is for U.S residents only, so I'm guessing that extends to the full service.:sigh: I also noticed the price; unlimited access @ $9.95, that's the same rights as Napster only @ £9.95. Where's my calculator.......;P

Anyone here download music from Napster? I've just started their 7-day free trial and while I'm impressed with the music selection the dl speed is very poor, so poor I had to check I wasn't still on dial-up:doh: So if anyone here has a regular subscription with them: is this the norm, or are they throttling the bandwidth for trial members? If that's the standard speed then I certainly going to cancel before the end of the trial period which is a shame because the array of tracks on offer was very good.

I shutdown always just to save power. I don't agree with leaving them running just to save a few seconds waiting for bootup. And as for people who can't even be bothered to switch off their monitors X|

The drivers for our office printer were 400MB and the stupid thing can't even do double sided without manually feeding the paper back in. I have no idea what they installed :omg: I know use the printer at the other end of the office. I get a little exercise and a change of scenery.:)

David Hasselhoff meets with his agent David: From now on I want to be known as the 'The Hoff' Agent: Alright, no hassel. :laugh:

Even for me that sort of thing is too geeky;P I prefer my online gaiming to have a bit more instant impact. My current favourite is MTA-SA, a free (3rd party) addon for GTA San Andreas.

And after all their reviews and consultations it'll be to late because you've gone and wet yourself. At which point you'll be presented with a fine:-D

Store the button index in the button's Tag property

In my first development job I inherited some VB6 (shudder!) code that managed to include most of those suggestions, only the last guy he didn't bother putting in any comments. A particualr method was named GetJourneyNumberFromJourneyNumber and I never did find out what it really did. Another favourite was to vary the variable names from the call to the parameter list, and to include the odd temp here and there, just for fun. And the return was always called result. A man with such obvious talents got promoted to management:laugh:

Wish ours did that. She's more a of glorified librarian ensuring the documents are written and filed, but has not idea about the content. I've not even sure she knows what our products do!

I think these are called verbs. You can also see them by right-clicking on the control in the design window. You will need to do some reading on Designers. I would tell you more but I've never used them myself.

Set the DropDownStyle property to DropDownList From the help "The user cannot directly edit the text portion. The user must click the arrow button to display the list portion."

Does anyone know how to force the xmlDataDocument to include elements for nulls (from the dataTable in the dataSet) in the resulting xml? I'm transforming the xml into an html table and without all the elements the columns are misaligned.

Not here its not. I spend more time doing administration than developing. The value of development has been lost to a world of documentation and form filling. I can spend a week creating an app that will save users hours and no one will notice, but if the don't get the correct issue number of a form it gets recorded forever. "Development? that only takes five minutes. Now lets have a meeting!"

Look at the SystemEvents class.

I believe I saw (on Google somewhere) that adding multiple \t's before the category name allows you to change the order. Never tried it though:~

1. Use the KeyPress event, if the character is invalid set the e.Handled property to false, and then it won't appear in the textbox. 2) Use macAddr = textbox1.Text.ToString().Replace(":", "") Note this is from the top of my head and the syntax may be slightly off:) Hope this helps

That looks like the baby! Many thanks

I've used this approach many times DataGridTableStyle gridStyle = new DataGridTableStyle(); gridStyle.ReadOnly = true; gridStyle.MappingName = myCollection.GetType().Name; DataGridTextBoxColumn cs = new DataGridTextBoxColumn(); cs.MappingName = "VehicleID"; // public property name cs.HeaderText = "Vehicle ID"; // column header cs.Alignment = HorizontalAlignment.Center; cs.Width = 80; cs.TextBox.Enabled = false; gridStyle.GridColumnStyles.Add(cs); // repeat for other properties // add style to collection dataGrid1.TableStyles.Add(gridStyle); the column order will follow the order in which the DataGridTextboxColumns are added to the gridstyle.

It is possible to do this from within a window.forms app, display some kind or message, and then cancel the action? I need to prevent the user from inadvertly shutting down/logging off unless they are sure they wish to stop my app from running. Thanks in advance.
