It sounds like you need to port to WPF (there was, for me, a fair learning curve) as the old winforms stuff just isn't as flexible as WPF in terms of display and will lookk flat. WPF has built-in themes such as:
PresentationFramework.Aero
PresentationFramework.Classic
PresentationFramework.Luna
PresentationFramework.Royale
You can also download themes to skin your application as well
Here is a source.

can you please tell me your idea plz..
I want to create an accoutn number for every customer when they entered his details in my C# application..
and of course it must be unqiue account number
I though of the following:
DayOfYear + Month + Day + DayOfWeek + the_primary_key_from_customer_table
any other better idea?
|
|

the_primary_key_from_customer_table should be enough.Just have a RegisterdDate column that is datestamped the the user is set up if you need to know this info, I wouldn't put it on the primary key.
Another common thing is to register a user with their e-mail address, each of which is unique (but a user might have > 1e-mail addess), but you need to ensure that all potential users have an e-mail before using this method. This way you can send a confirmation e-mail to ensure they are in charge of the address.
You could also generate a GUID to identify the user and use that as a PK.
Note that whatever you do, preventing a user from registering twice under different accounts is fatastically difficult (or possibly impossible!).

no but thisis to be printed on the invoice of the customer so email and guid won't be ok..
what i wanted is something like a long number just to avoid tell customer that your account number is# 1 or #2
|
|
|
|
|
You could just start your seed for your customer table at something like 10,000 or something.
|
|
|
|
|
Now I understand what you want a bit better. Even if the you have customer no 1 it can still be printed 00000001.
You just need to decide how many digits you want at the outset though you can add more leading zeros if necessary. This will also free up more keys given the same number of digits, as you don't tie the key to the date which uses the first 8 up according to your scheme.

I'd suggest not using the PK; sometimes people want to change their number, for whatever reason, and you'd have to update all the references.
Add an extra identity-field, set the seed to 8738234 and increment with 1

If you are trying to generate a number that the user can easily speak over the phone or type into an email you want to consider the number of digits.
If you do:
YearsSince2000 , DayOfYear , MemberThatDay
You could have it be 2+3+3 = 8 digits, but you would limit the number of accounts created in a day to 1000 (and only 100 years), which may be too low. (Unless you choose a base higher than ten, but I don't recommend that.)

Hi,
i would like to convert this DateTime format from
"Sat, 05 Dec 2009 14:37:55 GMT"
to
"05 Dec"
Please advice. Thanks 
|
|
|
|
|
DateTime foo = DateTime.Now;
Console.WriteLine(foo.ToString("dd MMM"));
Should sort you out. I'm feeling helpful today, other people will probably just tell this stuff is easily googled (which it is).

I want to validate a string containing the first name of a person.
The regegular expression should return a match if the first letter of the name is capitilized and
the rest are lowercase. The first name could also be multiple name.
sample:
John
John Raymond
Gary John Smith
Thanks a lot.
|
|
|
|
|
Something like this?
([A-Z][a-z]*)(\s+[A-Z][a-z]*)*
Of course that'll fail for the more exotic names, but you can modify it.

Thanks a lot. That's all I need.

I am trying to verify some domain names from our internal customer list. I am using Dns.GetHostAddresses but it doesn't seem to find half of the domains - many I can type into IE and up pops the web page. Is GetHostAddresses broken (I have tried the deprecated methods too and they don't seem to work either)
|
|
|
|
|
Do you not want to use GetHostByName?
Regards,
Rob Philpott.
|
|
|
|
|
That doesn't seem to work either - I get "The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found" on even some quite well known domain names
|
|
|
|
|
That's strange, as my understanding is that's what Internet Explorer etc. will call behind the scenes to resolve domain names. Sorry, as confused as you.
Regards,
Rob Philpott.

can't you just ping them?
ping[^]
|
|
|
|
|
I tried pinging some through the command console - some work, some don't.
So:
ping google.com works
ping microsoft.com doesn't
