• Windows Forms printout/report generation ideas

  A quick question to ask what people tend to use as a reporting tool for winforms application that DONT use a database as their underlying data storage. In the past we've tried various methods from writing our own routines, data dynamics, component one and devexpress and found all un-satisfactory in one way or another. What I'd like is to give the end users the ability to create a template in say word and drop in markers and then fill this in, however I don't want to impose a restriction that the end users machine has to have word installed. The type of data to be filled in would be things such as graphics and other sub report ...Show All

• Windows Forms my own EULA

  How can I put my own EULA to be accepted by the end user during a setup application deployed with ClickOnce approach Thanks armindo Hi armindo, To the best of my knowledge, there's no way you could do this in the out-of-the-box clickonce deployment. However, a work around would be to make sure the user goes to a page and accept the EULA before they get redirected to the page for download. To prevent direct access to the page, you could tag an object to the session of the user that might say "agreeEula=false". It would only be true when he had clicked on the accept button.

• Visual Studio Express Editions Odd 'replace text' behaviour in Richtextbox control

  I did some testing with the Richtextbox control and ran into a problem: when replacing text some formatting seems to be removed. I made a text sample in Wordpad which contains the text and format Bold!

• .NET Development Generic Properties and Methods

  It's pretty funny that microsoft wrote Generics capability into the .NET framework, but they give almost zero documentation on how to write Generic Classes, Properties, and Methods. I have a book at home that documents this all from top to bottom, but unfortunately I am at work at the moment and need an answer now. I have been searching the web for the last hour on writing Generic Classes, Properties, and Methods, and there's practically nothing on the topic. I have to wonder how the author of the book I have at home ".NET Generics 2.0" learned so much about it when there's nothing available on the topic anywhere, other than ...Show All

So what should i do can i still use back the same coding what namespace should i include Hi there, Firstly, I would consider using the Access Upsizing Wizard to migrate your database from MS Access to SQL Server if you have not done so already. If you've migrated via a different means, then a good start would be having the database schemas for the two databases almost identical (you won't get an exact match because SQL Server 2000 has a couple of differe ...Show All
