• Windows Forms RichTextBox: text back color

  Hi All, I'm developping a C# project and I have a problem with the RichTextBox... I don't find how to change the text back color.. (like this: Example ) Can you help me Thank you :) Thank you for your answer Marconi. I already seen this code with ritechTextBox1.SectionBackColor = ..... But I have'nt this property in my RichTextBox... I don't understand why this component don't give us the possibility of making Rich Text easily. We can display Rich Text in the Rich Text Box only by create the Rich Text encoded and define the "Rtf" property... Maybe in a further version of .NET Framework... ...Show All

• SQL Server Limit number of bars on bar chart

  Is there a way to specify how many bars to display on a bar chart And if the data set has more than the specified number of bars, then display another bar chart (on the next page) with the remaining bars Thanks for your time You could achieve this by adding a table with a table grouping to the report. The chart itself would be shown in the table group header or footer . The important part is the table grouping expression - it will need to group your data the same way you group them inside the bar chart (i.e. category grouping) and at the same time split up the groups so that they don't exceed your limi ...Show All

• .NET Development Display data from multiple tables into datagrid

  I am using visual studio 2003 and was able to create a dataset and bind it to sql adapter but the data is from one table. I want to view the data from multiple table when i add the tables to dataset it only shows me 1st table. Not sure how to accomplish this... Any help will be appreciated. Is this a winforms app If so, you can set up a view where the grid allows you to expand different tables, I believe.  However, if you want them all to show at once in one table, then they need to make sense with one another, that is, you should write a query which returns all the data you want to display. ...Show All

• Visual C# !!! IF MICROSOFT HEAR US!!!

  I just saw another thread with "Can i make a app that doesnt use the .NET.  The framework is too big 23 MB".. SO... Can Microsoft create a .Net Framework just for c# not for asp or j# or visual basic providing only the neccesary dlls Please!!!! Eh, the framework is for .NET; there are in my opinion no specific dll's for j#, vb.net, etc... The CLR uses IL, and C#, VB.NET, J#, and all other .NET languages are compiled to Intermediate Language. ...Show All

• Visual FoxPro Unexpected disconnecting of remote connections under VFP 9 SP1

  I have problem with unexpected disconnecting of remote connections under VFP 9 SP1 runtimes (only under SP1 runtimes). For example, using _VFP object to access forms will cause this and I am analysing other situations. Using _SCREEN object does not cause this. Does anyone found this too and in what situations   Because this problem can be seen only under runtime, we need to create aplication, which for example runs one form. This form will open some remote views (for example in load event - does not matter). Then i added command button and in Click() event this code : nPoc = 0 nPoc = ASQLHANDLES (aPom) IF nPoc = 0 &nb ...Show All

• SQL Server Upgrade from SQL 7 to SQL 2005

  I'm planning to upgrade a SQL server 7 database to a new server with SQL 2005 soon. I will follow the migration path for the upgrade and my question has to do with my back-out plan. When we go live on a Monday morning, I will leave my SQL server 7 box n stand-by mode in case anything goes wrong with the new server. Is there a way to get the new data back into my stand-by SQL server 7 in case the new SQL 2005 server has issues after going live Let's say the new server runs for two hours and I need to revert back to my SQL 7 server, What would be the best approach for this scenario Thanks Alfonzo ...Show All

• Visual Basic visual basic Label number as a variable

  Is there a way to assign a variable to a label number for i = 1 to 10 label(i).Text = Name next i or something like that Bruce You can build an array of labels, or use the Controls collection already on your form to look for labels ( you can identify them by name or the Tag property, if you set it ). If label was a list into which you'd passed the 10 labels you want to set, and Name was the text you wanted to put on all the labels, the code you posted would work. ...Show All

• .NET Development Process.GetProcess() Issue

  I'm facing trick problem. I'm using Process.GetProcess( ) method to get all the process which are running in server. This code causes the application termination. If i want to get what kind security permission i have to set . Can any one help Regards To quote an MSDN blog post on the topic: The Process class has a LinkDemand and an InheritenceDemand for FullTrust on it. This means that if your assembly is not fully trusted, it will be unable to kick off new Processes or get information about running processes. The solution... increase the trust the application runs with. ...Show All

• Visual C++ Date time stamp can't be this difficult

  Hi, I'm writing what should be a simple program to auto-edit a text file.  If an error occurs, the program makes an entry in an errlog file which should include an date/time stamp. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do it.  I started in namespace std and included <string>.  I found <ctime> but as I struggled to make it work, I received warnings that it was deprecated. After some digging, I found DateTime, which required that I change to namespace System.  So, now I have a function that finds the date and time but I can't use it because my program uses strings and the DateTime.ToString() functions returns ...Show All
