Hi everybody,

I am stucked with a small problem. Please help me.
I want to know that original path of the directory mapped to my system.
Let me explain you more clearly

Imaging "worker" folder on System1 is mapped to System2 as "N" drive and from System2 user can see the folder as N:\\worker. I want to know the original path of worker folder on system1 like if worker folder is in C drive then "C:\\worker"

Let me know if you want some more info.

Thanks,
Azghar

From System2, there is no way to determine what that path is.

You can determine it from System1, eg. "net share", so you might also be able to somehow do it from System2 with WMI, but I'll leave the details of that to you. Smile | :)

! You're right! So long as the user that's running the code has the appropriate permissions on the server machine, the code can use WMI to enumerate the Shares on the server.

Printing without user input...

Hi all,

i have the following problem...

i want to send a html document directly to the printer and it should print without user input. I can send it to the printer with this...

Process myProcess = new Process();<br />
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\TestPage.HTML";<br />
myProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print";<br />
myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;<br />
myProcess.Start();

BUT this opens a window with the printers found and waits for user to select the correct printer. I have saved the preferred printer name that the user selected in our database and i want to use that printer. Would any one please give me nudge in the right direction.

Thank you in advance...

Try changing the verb to "printto" instead. Then set the Arguments property like this:

Process myProcess = new Process();
myProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\TestPage.HTML";
myProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "printto";
myProcess.StartInfo.Arguments = "printer name";
myProcess.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
myProcess.Start();

I haven't tested this, so it'll probably take some tweaking to get it right.

i've tried it but without much success. i've played around with it but no luck yet. Is the name for the printer i have saved correct? "HP-Color Inkjet CP1700" this is the printer i saved but is this the name format i need? or do i need some sort of printer id? also, i tried to print a word document in this manner but this failed as well. "Run-Time error: '1120' There is a printer error" That is why i asked if there is a problem with the name as i have it saved... i have the printer name saved.

Custom DataBinding

Hello,
I need of a help with Custom DataBinding
I'd created 3 Persistent objects

- CVObject (Business Object Base)
- CVObjectCollection (Collection of CVObject)
Implements ICollectionBase, IBindingList
- CVDataSource (DataSource to my Business Object)
Implements IListSource
GetList returns a CVObjectCollection

In CVDataSource, I have a method called Append()
these method create my CVObject instance and set a flag(isAddNew) to true, calling BeginEdit(), and adding my object in CVObjectCollection.

<br />
private CVObjectCollection objectsList;<br />
<br />
public void Append()<br />
{<br />
    object obj = Activator.CreateInstance(ObjectType, new object[] {true});<br />
    _currentIndex = (objectsList as IList).Add(obj);<br />
    this[_currentIndex] = obj;<br />
    (obj as IEditableObject).BeginEdit();<br />
}<br />

I have in CVDataSource too the method Save()

<br />
public void Save()<br />
{<br />
    CVObject obj = (CVObject)listaObjetos[_currentIndex];<br />
    (obj as IEditableObject).EndEdit();<br />
}<br />

The Binding is working perfectly, but I would like of implement a custom save method to my CVObject.
Example:

In my forms I have two TextBoxes Control (txtCode, txtDescription) and two Buttons Control (btnNew, btnSave).

private void btnNew_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.myDataSource.Append();
}

private void btnSave_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.myDataSource.Save();
}

What I wanna to do is following:
First: When CVDataSource to call the Append() method, to create a new object and to grant to the TextBoxes new values, as such as, blank values.
Second: When CVDataSource to call the Save() method, to save new object updated to BD.

The problem: When I call the Append() method the object, it's added correctly to collection, but the binding controls do not receive the new object.
I searched in internet by google and too in msdn library but, I not found some implementation to .NET Framework 1.1 version. I readed about PropertyChanged but, it is only in Framework 2.0, and the others implementations that I found, say to handle a Custom PropertyChanged in each Business Class derived from CVObject, but I dont wanna to do thus. I would like of use the Business Class just to mapping and to centre anything in my Base Object (CVObject), including the Custom PropertyChanged...

Someone can help me? Sigh | :sigh:

Including a .dll inside the release build exe

Is it possible to build your application so that a referenced .dll file is merged with the .exe? I have used a component in my project which states I may not include the component as a .dll file when I release my program.

If this cannot be done, what is the way to use a component without including the dll file as a separate component?

Thanks.

There's normally a reason why you can't include the DLL when you release your program. It's generally called the License agreement.

Arthur Dent - "That would explain it. All my life I've had this strange feeling that there's something big and sinister going on in the world."

Sorry kinda new to this, so if i use a component from a third party .dll file, how do i build the program without including the dll file, and still have it run correctly?

If their license prohibits you from redistributing it you can't, or you require that all the people who use your application must buy the component. That's probably not going to fly.

Alternatively, use a component that does what you want that you can redistribute.

Which component is it?

It's the free GraphicsServer.NET graphing component which came as a registered benefit from registering Visual Studio Express.

Here's the important part of the EULA for reference
"Your license rights include the right to perform this compilation and to distribute User Applications, provided (a) you do not distribute the source code for the User Application,(b) you do not distribute, bundle, wrap or subclass the Software, and as a component, which, when used in a Design Time development environment exposes the programmatic interface of the Software,"

So is my only option to find another component (ie. opensource)?

Thanks

That section of the license agreement looks as though it states that you cannot wrap this component up and present it as your own. It looks as though you should be able to redistribute the component as part of your program (but check this with a lawyer first).

Thanks, I'll have to ask someone with more legal know-how than myself.

The reason i believe it prevents me from redistributing the dll, is because of the following bolded lines. If i included the dll file, it could still be in development i believe. Correct me if I'm wrong.

(b) you do not distribute, bundle, wrap or subclass the Software, and as a component, which, when used in a Design Time development environment exposes the programmatic interface of the Software,"

See my answer above. I believe that the issue here is about wrapping the component and representing it as your own.

Insert statement throws an exception

V.29-Nov-06 1:02

29-Nov-06 1:02

Guys,

I'm having a bunch of insertstatements that are generated by code like following:
INSERT INTO ACTION_SELF (ACTION_ID,ACTION,TELEPHONE,CURENT) VALUES ('MYINSTR4','ct: Sleep','011295670','T');

The four columns are from a mdb file and are defined as text.
I have tested with three tables from which this is the simplest of design and the other two insert fine!
moreover, this query succeeds if I open up Access and execute it there and also if I fire it to an oracle db via my code.

the error message says: "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement."

Anybody any idea what's going wrong? I checked the column size, removed the ";", ..., but I can't find the error?

Many thanks!
