The description still returns far too much information. I need to extract the single coherent piece of news from it and ignore everything else. I appreciate your help though.

im using the windows 7 phone emulator that came with the sdk if thats what you mean.

Yeah I wasn't clear what I meant was open and play a file specified programatically I dont think just opening it automatically plays it I appreciate your help.

This doesn't provide methods for controlling vlc player, like pausing and rewinding or choosing a video from the playlist. Also the end goal is to embed it in the player.

I found that article too and that office component it's talking about looks like something you have to pay for, plus I'm not sure what to do with it once I downloaded it. I was hoping to find an alternative.

I solved my own problem I had to close the XmlTextReader before I tried saving. I appreciate you trying to help me.

That is the absolute first time I do anything to do with the config file. I execute the code in a button press if that would make any difference to how it runs.

Thanks that helped I was overcomplicating it.

It seems to be a good site but I'm still finding it very difficult. They don't have any examples of using the code. Do you know any sites that give examples. Thanks.

Thanks that was useful.

I managed to get it working. I simply ran the code on a separate thread and it seemed to work. Thanks for commenting.

My question before was related to uploading large file sizes. The question I am asking here is handling timeout exceptions. I thought it would be best to post as a new question for clarity. Also I am completely new to uploading files and dealing with servers so I often have difficulty supplying the right information. The only error I get on the server is the connection has timed out. If you can help me with my problem I will be grateful.

I figured out how to make it work thanks for your help.

When I use this code it gives me the error connection property has not been initialised. Do you know how to solve this.

Sorry I should have said I am using OleDB. Would this code still work if I adapt it.

Thanks

Thanks

Because I have no idea how

Thanks that exactly what I needed, sorry for the slow response.

I investigated the CurrentCell property but I must have missed something. Could you give me an example please. I've never used dataGrids before so I'm learning everything from scratch.

I entered my information as an answer by accident but I'm not sure you get notified of it so just in case I'll let you know I added the information as an answer. If you do get notified about it then my bad.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

I am trying to get the number for a different purpose, the code I provided was only an example of the parse method not working. I appreciate your help though, it seems a bit obvious now I know what the problem is.

Thanks it's always something simple.

Thanks I appreciate the help
