Hi, Thanks for the reply... Ive tried using OleConnection and an OdbcConnection using the native Paradox driver and the Jet driver, but they both fail when I try use the DataAdapater to fill a table from a select command! Any thoughts / suggestions?

Hi all, Im currently building an upgrade to one of our free "value added" tools we send out to customers. The new version is to replace a 10yr old Delphi version. One of the features of the new one is to import data from the old version, which is stored in Paradox. Ive run into a little problem in vista access the paradox database files. If i dont run the app in Admin mode (via Run As Administrator) i get a Paradox driver error (11625), but if i run as admin, it works fine! So far the only way i can think to fix the problem is one of the following: * Create a manifest demanding Admin privilages for the application * Document the user has to manually "Run As Administrator" for certain functions * Somehow create a shortcut (if its possible) that automatically runs as administrator Whats the best way of doing this? Can you suggest a better idea? Can the user "Run As Administrator" if they have admin rights? I ask this because some of our customers isntall the software on domained machines with Group Polices already set! many many many thanks! Will

Hi there! thanks for the heads up! ill do a bit of digging in the week and hopefully get this problem sorted! once again - thanks for your help!

Hi all, Im having a problem with what should be really easy!! I have BindingList of type MyObject. MyObject has 2 properties, Name and Description... I can bind the BindingList to a listview no problem using DisplayMember and DataSource. But what i really want is so when I select an item in the listview, i want 2 textboxes to bind to the current item and let me change the value of these 2 items, but as i edit the Name textbox I want it to change the listview?? Is this 2way databinding? Any ideas on how to acheive this? Im assuming its possible!

mmmmm thats a tad expensive!! is there any free alternative??

Hi All, A quick question regarding mapping? I supply a free app to our customers for downloading GPS data from a handheld. What i have is an array of long/lat positions. What i would like to do is plot that information inside the Windows application... I've had a look at Google Maps / Live Maps API and altho they look good, they look like their supposed to be used on a website... not a winform app? My question to you guys is what would be the propper / ideal technology to use to acheive this? Many many thanks! Will

Hi guys, I'm trying to access an SMB share hosted on an AS400 server. The server is nothing to do with the domain security. My windows server needs to periodically access this folder and read/write to some files. The access security is managed by the server. The path is: "\\qfgmas400\STX\mvx_desp". If i try something like: DirectoryInfo fi = new DirectoryInfo(@"\\qfgmas400\STX\mvx_desp"); FileInfo[] fia = fi.GetFiles(); I get an UnauthorizedAccessException. Any ideas how i can pass a username and a password to connect to the share? Cheers Will

Hi all, I have a little problem.... I have a C# Winforms app that sends serialised data to a Pocket PC via TCP/IP, the transmission isnt the problem, but the library Objects.dll was built as a windows library, and even though they are simple objects Visual Studio 2005 wont let me add the project reference to the Pocket PC application because its not a Smart Device Library.... How can i get round this problem? Ideally i want one single assembly that will work for both Winforms and PocketPC client (.net2), using vs2005 Cheers guys! Will

Hi all, My boss wants me to write a small console app that runs at midnight everynight. The app opens up a "job file" (in this case, the job file will have a list of training days that people will be attending), connects to the exchange server (via the admin login?), opens that users calender and inserts that training day into his/her calender. If the user deletes the appointment, the app will create it again.... the only trouble im having is connecting to the exchange server at the "top level" as an admin so i can open a users calender and create/modify their appointments... Does anyone have any suggestions / controls i can purchase that will help me build this app? Many thanks, Will

Hi all! Heres my problem - i have a gridview bound (via sqldatasource) to a simple table... The table consists of 2 columns, an ID column (auto increment primary key) and a NText column... On the webpage im displaying the gridview and a simple button. When the user clicks the button a new row is created and inserted... For testing purposes, the NText field just contains a random GUID. The gridview is then rebound and it appears in the list, great, that works fine..... however, when the user clicks the "add random" button i want the row they just created to be selected!!... so far i've got the ID of the last inserted using the Insert Indentity methodology and returning the ID field. The problem is dont seem to be able to set the SelectedKey or SelectedValue on the datagrid, all i can change is the index!! What am i missing here?? Cheers! Will

Hi all! Having some trouble with converting this logic into some nice C# code! can anyone help?? 1. Get the "twos complement" of a number (invert, add 1) 2. Get the LSB of that result... Example with: 1506 1506 = 10111100010 Invert = 01000011101 Add 1 = 01000011110 2*LSB = 00011110 Result = 00011110 (or 1E in hex) Can anyone point me in the right direction to get these results in C# please!

thanks dude! spot on!! :-D
