I am creating deployment setup for windows based application by cutomising deployment project, using User Interface editor and Custom Action editor.
In my custome action i want to know the path(location) at which this application is being install.
Basically when setup program runs the first screen pop's up and ask user to select the location to install the application. This path i want to access in my later custom actions.
If any one knows how, please kindly let me know. I appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.

Hi forum,
i like to create a UserControl with some textboxes, buttons and so on.
This is no problem, starting with a UserControl project, placing the textboxs, buttons on the control panel, compiling, adding the dll to any project. It works perfect.
My problem now is: Placing MyUserControl on any form, it is possible to code in the calling form MyUserControl.Controls.Items(...).... to get a collection of controls.
Using this collection, it's possible to get direct access to all controls placed on MyUserControl.
Who to prevent direct access from any forms to the controles placed on the MyUserControl using the Controls Collection ?
Any comments pls ?

There's really no way to stop people accessing your controls this way. Why would you want there to be ? I mean, if someone starts manipulating the controls on your control, then that's their problem.

Thank you for your quick reply, this answer i expected, after some testing, that there is no way.
Why to prevent modifying the control - well, isn't a control just some code for any specific task? Istn't it better to prevent modifyiny?
But ok, you are right, people modifying an control my be it's there problem .....

A picturebox shows a picture. Therefore, you need to render your report to a bitmap, then you can put that bitmap in a picturebox.

Please stick to English...
What you can do is open a second instance of the IDE, attach the debugger to the first instance, and see where you end up when it crashes.

hi guys
i have a string
like "12007" or "112007"
in this string last four characters denotes to a specific year and the rest shows month ,
i want to get a the month either ir is 1 or 12 or 10 ,, i cannot use sunstring because i am not sure about its lenth it might me 1 or two , so how could i get the exazct month ,,,
thansk in advance
hello

Unless someone sticks the day of the month in there, then you got some trouble.
You have to assume that the last four are the year, then anything before that is going to be the month. Assuming the day of month isn't going to be there, you will have to check the length of the string. If it is 5 then you have one digit for the month, else if the length is 6, then you have two digits for the month. Find the length of the string first, then you can use SubString(....) to pick it apart.

Why not look at the total length of the string then subtract 4 (the number of digits for the year portion) and use that data to know the rest?
Its just working backwards.

chop last 4 chars and parse, I would say.

Can someone please help me filling a DataGrid without a DataSource. I'm used to work with a component called the True DBGrid made by ComponentOne for VB6, and it was a walk in the park to change the cells' value. Surely there's a way to modify the values without a source, right?
Thanks in advance!

I Don't know if I understand your question correcly, but if you are using VS2005, and a DataGridView control, you can do this:
'Drop the control on your form
'Add two columns
Me.DataGridView1.Columns.Add("Col1", "FirstColName")
Me.DataGridView1.Columns.Add("Col2", "SecondColName")
'Add some rows - 5 in this case
Me.DataGridView1.Rows.Add(5)
'Modify the Data in the control
Me.DataGridView1.Item(0, 0).Value = "Hello" 'Row 0, Column 0
Me.DataGridView1.Item(0, 1).Value = "Dude" 'Row 1, Column 0

You could do how Richard described, but if you're going to save the data in the grdi, you'd be better off binding the grid to a DataTable you create. The DataTable object can save, and load, the data into/from an XML file without a pile of code on your part.

Hi, would you please explain the two lines of code below that are high lighted.
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(qry, con);
da.Fill(ds);
ListBox1.DataSource = ds;
ListBox1.DataValueField = "SingerID";
ListBox1.DataTextField = "Singer";
ListBox1.DataBind();
Are "SingerID" and "Singer" the names of fields in a database. The comment to the right of "Singer"; says that the name of singers will be displayed. How will it be displayed, in grid or something else? Thanks for your help.

SingerID is the id (probably primary key) of the Singer, and Singer contains the text of the name. What happens is if the user selects a name from the listbox, then the SelectedValue property of the listbox is the corresponding SingerID for that particular name.

Suppose instead of having Singer and SingerID as the names of the fields in the database, I have ResumeID and Resumes as the names, and Resumes contains resumes of different people. Can I use the same technique that was used to display the content Singer to display the content of Resumes if Resumes is of type nvarchar or text? Thanks for responding.

Singer looks as if it is the field in the database holding the names of the singers. In your case, you can change SingerID to ResumeID, and Singer to Resumes. It should work.

For starters you're setting the DataTextField 2 times. Once should be DataTextField (Resumes) and the other should be DataValueField (ResumeID)
