thx for all the answers, clear and usefull. ;)

Com'on people, no one can help me out here?

hm, that's not what i mean actually, sorry maybe i explained it wrong, i won't be looking for single pixels, i will be looking for circles, rectangles,...

can't do, i don't have control over the class, i'm only using it so i think the only way doing this is with reflection, so if someone knows how i have to code this, please

Unless someone else has a better Idea, that's the way I would do it. By preset I mean an xsd file representing a dataset (I think it's called typed dataset). I don't think you can have 2 tables out of one query, unless you make the query as you did, and manually adding the rows in the datatables... but that's even worse :P. daniero -- modified at 18:21 Tuesday 15th November, 2005

You can only add child controls to Controls which have a ControlsCollection object, (i.e., Panel1.Conrols Gets a ControlCollection object that represents the child controls for the specified Panel server control). It's quite a complex GUI area but worthwhile investigating and can be utilised to produce some very dynamic pages. Rhys A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk I have a workstation... Vampireware /n/, a project, capable of sucking the lifeblood out of anyone unfortunate enough to be assigned to it, which never actually sees the light of day, but nonetheless refuses to die.

ok thank you very much for this info, i will try this out this evening thx

There's nothing you can do about what is shown on one clients screen while another is changing it, unless you lock records so only one person can have them at a time. I'd lock only when you get to a point of editing, and then users will find out someone beat them to it if they try to edit something that someone else has grabbed. The 1 minute refresh is basically a race condition, and a drain on your database server resources. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++

hmm... All the C++ boffins will tell you to use the reference version because it's "safer", and that's their justification for just about everything to do with the language ;) Just remember that you can't reassign references and you can with pointers - this might nudge you towards the pointer version. Unless you have a fairly strange function, there is no performance gain from using one in particular. If you want to emulate the powers-that-be and go in the direction the C++ standards commitee have not-so-subtlely been trying to push us in, use the reference version. Be aware of the possiblity of unseen anonymous objects being created when you pass by reference (if you do indeed have to create a temporary const object) - obviously this isn't possible with pointers and prevents this bit of bloat. I go with references cos company's love to see them in your code. To be honest there's not much to gain from it, but try and stick to one in style. It also stops you having to stick &'s everywhere :)

You should have used DTS or the Upsizing Wizard. Both are well documented and easy to use. http://www.jasncab.com/huberblog :: Jason Huber

thx that works ;) and what if i don't have more than one value, let's say: select test, test2 from testtable how do i get the value of test and test2 ? (without reader and without filling a dataset)
