You dont have physical forms on your disk once you build and deploy the application.

{
//here i got all of the form names and its files
FileInfo[] files = dinfo.GetFiles("*.resx",SearchOption.AllDirectories);
//or
FileInfo[] files = dinfo.GetFiles
"*.AnyFormExtintion",SearchOption.AllDirectories);
//or
FileInfo[] files = dinfo.GetFiles("*.cs",SearchOption.AllDirectories);

One way to do this is to load the file names in and compile[^] them up using the CodeDOM.

local database connection string

You cant create a form file from scratch at run time. What you can do is manually create controls on an form by calling the constructors of each control dynamically. You'll have to do all the setup that is normally done at design time manually. Look at what the constructor does behind the scenes to create each control on your existing forms.

Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots.

Hello everyone,

I'm working with a database. Currently I am using the "Microsoft SQL Server 2005". But I would like to work with a database which is inside Visual studio. So I thought about using the "Local Database".
In my solution I added a new item called "Local Database". I created a new table and tried to connect with it in the same way as I used with the SQL server, but it didn't work.

I use this connectionstring with the SQL server: connectionString = "server=DERESEN\\SQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=yes;database=master;"
And I use this connection string for the local database: connectionString3 = "server=Datatbase.sdf;Trusted_Connection=yes;"

The list in SQL server looks like this: DERESEN\SQLEXPRESS -> Databases -> System Databases -> master -> Tables -> myTable
The list in server Explorer looks like this: Data Connections -> Database.sdf -> Tables -> myTable

Does anyone know how to get this working? I cannot find it anywhere on internet.

Connections to SQL Server don't work like that. Have a look at http://www.connectionstrings.com/[^]

Well, I can allready connect to a database. But do you know how to use the Local Database which is embedded in visual studio?

Ashfield12-Aug-08 19:58

AFAIK there is no database embedded within Visual studio - unless you are talking about datasets?

Well I really am talking about a database. When you go to your project and add an item, there is also an item called "local database". This is the database I am talking about.
I've never heard of dataset's though, does this has to do something with databases too?

how to store PDF document in local database

The thing you are referring to is 'An empty SQL Server Compact Edition database for local data'

So presumably you need to look at connection strings for that, but its not embedded within your app.

Datasets are collections of datatables. Try Google.
