I found what I have been missing all these while..These should be cover the scipt

For IE in order to get the html file I need to manually export the file, do you know how to export it using c# coding?

It works, thanks you very much For anyone who is interested http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Internet/WebRequestNResponseMDB.asp is a good tutorial of how to use webRequest.

public Image getObjectPicture(string objectID) { OdbcConnection connection= new OdbcConnection(@"Driver={MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver};SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=ic;UID=;PASSWORD=;"); OdbcCommand cmm = new OdbcCommand("SELECT Picture FROM Object WHERE ObjectID='"+objectID+"'", connection); connection.Open(); OdbcDataReader reader = cmm.ExecuteReader(); string filename= @"c:\default.bmp"; //default pic while(reader.Read()) { filename = reader[0].ToString(); } Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(filename); MemoryStream stream1 = new System.IO.MemoryStream(); bitmap.Save( stream1, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Bmp ); stream1.Position = 0L; BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(stream1); byte[] bytes = br.ReadBytes( (int)stream1.Length ); stream1.Close(); MemoryStream stream2 = new MemoryStream(bytes); Image image = Image.FromStream( stream2 ); return image; } I combined the given code and did this, and I got this error message "System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat cannot be serialized because it does not have a default public constructor.", I put this coding on the webservice though.. that exactly should I do, I am rather confuse now

IIRC, when an Access db is opened, the default mode is read-only. SELECT will work fine, but any attempt to modify the data will fail, regardless of user permissions. There are optional flags that can be set while creating the connection which override the defaults, though I don't remember where they're defined at the moment. Try MSDN - I was working with ADO when I bumped into this, so that might be a good section to start searching. Boredom, Bull$^%&, Baggage, Bar - all start with 'B' Coincidence?

Well... after looking through the resulting xml file, I discovered that it didn't really get mess up but instead one of the line get copied twice and somehow the second copy appeared at the end of the file... the same thing happened to the code you given though

Ah, if it's a laptop I wouldn't recommend it. Most desktops are easy to open, often times with just the click of a button. Sorry.

The code is not from the website, however I used the coding for hardware infomation http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Hardware\_Properties\_C\_.asp as an example. The application I wish to run is used to check for machine hardware infomation which is needed to be ran on client machine in order to get the infomation... is it that right? Is there any other way to do it? I read something on .cab today? Could it be a possible solution? http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/components/activex/packaging.asp#EXAMPLE Thank you,
