The only way to tell, and even this isn't perfect, is to load another dataset with the table your updating, then compare each record to what you have. Any differences will tell you that the data has changed. But, the data can change WHILE you're doing the compare.
If you're going to use a disconnected approach like this, you'll just have to deal with the fact that the "last write wins". The last client to write to the database overwrites any and all other changes.
Now, under SQL Server, there is what's called Notification Services. This allows your application to subscribe to certain events that occur in your database. SQL Server will then notify you when these events happen and your code can take appropriate action.

I've never heard of the problem. You might want to try reinstalling the Flash Player or see if there is any information on Adobe's support board.

hi
i'm trying to write a code for an application. this app will be installed on two or more computers and i want that the changes on the app on a computer will occur on other comp. at the same time. for example when a checkbox is checked on a comp., at the same time, the checkbox on other comp. will be checked.
i don't know can i explain the case but i need any help.
i think i must use sockets but how 
thanx

It could be done using sockets or .NET Remoting. But, you have to implement some kind of command system in your app that can respond to these changes being made on the other instance. This is going to be a LARGE part of your project.
Why are you doing this? I can't see any possible reason that you would want to this...

First, thanks for the answer. It was just an example. Actually i want to develop an app that using a dataset. And this dataset will save entries that i entered with a form for entering data. This app will be installed on another comp and when we enter data, we would see the entries simultaneously.
I think this is a kind of an instant messagging.
Another idea is using xml web services. Is this suitable for the case? Or is the remoting the answer?
thanks again.

Remoting is probably going to be the best answer. Instant messaging is only a small part of the system you want to put together.
IM only sneds a message to another client. The client doesn't have to worry about which control to modify and how to modify it. THIS is the complexity you're adding, and you're adding a LOT of it. Your biggest problem is going to be concurrency. What if two people are entering something in the same field at the same time? Who wins and why? This is what you must deal with. Messaging is easy compared to this.

I have USB devise that connected to HID in windows xp,
can i use the HID class to read data input from the device?
|
|
|
|

If it uses a HID-based driver, then yes, but how you do it depends on the driver and the functionality that it exposes.
You can find an example of doing something like this here[^]. There's also more resources on The HID Page[^].

What do you mean by "dynamic forms"? Creating new instances of a Form? Creating controls at runtime? What?

ex: time period for one child is 2 days, but it took some around 5 days let us suppose. thin i need to modify the time period for every thing.
this is b'cas materplan have some limited time period
 And what does this have to do with "dynamic forms"?
I don't do Office Interop stuff at all, so my help is going to be very limited.
Ashok Vakkala wrote: Could u please help me finding the actual problem.
I have no idea because the explanation you gave doesn't tell me anything about your application or how it's used or how your forms interact with the Project data or anything. It sounds like you have a serious data management problem that is at the root of your data model, but there's no way for me to tell you what that problem is.

Can anyone help me, how to flatten scroll bar of a combo box in vb.net
|
|
|

Flatten the scrollbar??? That is somewhat ambiguous...do you mean flatten it's visual style or make it tak up less space?

I like to flatten the visual style of the scroll bar
|
|
|
|
|
I'm not sure that this is possible without creating a custom control (which i can't help with). Setting flat style to flat doesn't do it, so i don't think there would be another way.
