Have you tried leaving a message for the author of the control - if anyone would know he would.

Hi, I am not an SQL or database expert but I would be very surprised if SQL could do record selection based on BLOB content. I do have one suggestion: you could add an 'imageHash' field to your table, then with an app, calculate and store the image hash value one. Any algorithm would be fine. Later on, when you want to search for an image, calculate its hash value, then search for the hash value. NB: there is a slim chance a hash search may result in more than one match, so you would still need code to compare the bytes if you want to be absolutely sure you got the right image. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] - before you ask a question here, search CodeProject, then Google - the quality and detail of your question reflects on the effectiveness of the help you are likely to get - use the code block button (PRE tags) to preserve formatting when showing multi-line code snippets

thanks mate

It would appear your UI thread is blocked somewhere, but it's not obvious in the code you've posted. Single step through the execution of your server and watch the code run, line-by-line. If the debugger gets to a statement where it stops and doesn't execute the next line, you've found the block.

First set a command name and commandArgument to some cell text like this then write this code behind protected void grdVDataQueries_RowCommand(object sender, GridViewCommandEventArgs e) { if (e.CommandName.Equals("Open")) { string args = e.CommandArgument.ToString(); } } God Bless you. Always do good to others

From the SQL 2k5 licencing document download on Microsoft's SQL Server Licensing Page[^] "Multicore processors, which consist of multiple processing execution units or “cores” on one chip, are seen as a promising way to boost computing power. Microsoft has been driving thought leadership in this area by charging the same amount per processor, regardless of how many cores are in the processor."

sysprep was traditionally needed in order to generate new system security identifiers. If you don't do this you can have problems with security on the network. See here[^] for information on this problem. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

thanks for your assistance stefan :)

thanks Walter thats a great suggestions cheers Dom

If your batch file starts an interactive process, it's looking for user input, you'll never see it in the default configuration for a Windows Service. All Windows Services, by default, run under a seperate (non-visible) desktop. In order for a service to be able to interact with the visible desktop, you have to go into the Services manager (Start/Run SERVICES.MSC), find your service, get properties on it, then go to the LogOn tab and enable the "Local System account" login, then enable "Allow service to interact with the desktop".
