No, I dont have office 2003 installed. Instead I have a office 2007 which comes with MIDI v12.0 instead v11.0. But if you read that tutorial (link in first post) then it says in bottom of page that 2007 also comes with modi, it does, but it doesn't support axModi atleast by just adding MDIVWCTL.DLL to references.

There're 2 comment threads about getting modi to work with 2007, do either of those help?

IF you're sitll having trouble I think posting in the comments section of the article or an appropriate MS board is more likely to get results due to the obscurity of the subject matter.

Hi,

this is just a guess, but you might be able to "import your activeX" using
AxImp.exe

I suggest you read up on these; IIRC the tool turns a ZZZ.dll into an
AxInterop.ZZZ.dll and this one can be added as a reference in a .NET project.

I dont understand all that is going on here, but it solved it once for me,
long time ago.

BTW I think your subject line should read MODI not MIDI (that's a musical
interface !)

If you have office07, reading the comments would've told you how to get modi installed.

Hi, I trust you have read the MODI articles on CP such as this one[^] ?

It mentions axMODI (as you did), that is not what axImp.exe would bring you Cry | :((

Hi,

I'm glad I was able to help.

it seems to imply AxImp.exe lets you choose the name of the output dll,
and it doesnt have to start with AxInterop (for some reason my file did).

XHTML Validation

Hi,
I found that w3 offers validation service which anyone can access it to validate HTML and make XHTML compliant. Basically, the web service allows the user to validate a fragment of html code - basically copying your html code and validating it, validating the html content by uploading the file and specifying the url for validation.

I was able to hit the webservice for valdiating code fragment. I want to upload file for validation. I am not able to achive that even though I use POST as my request method and use multipart/formdata. Can anyone explain why i am not able to upload the file. Below is the piece of code that i had used.

<br />
       HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(http://validator.w3.org/check);<br />
       string boundary = new Guid().ToString().Replace("-", "");<br />
       request.ContentType = "multi-part/form-data; boundary=" + boundary;<br />
       request.Method = "POST";<br />
       BinaryWriter oPostData;<br />
<br />
        MemoryStream oPostStream = new MemoryStream();<br />
        oPostData = new BinaryWriter(oPostStream);<br />
        StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(oPostStream);<br />
        <br />
        byte[] lcFile;<br />
        <br />
        FileStream loFile = new FileStream(@"C:\testfile.txt", System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);<br />
<br />
        lcFile = new byte[loFile.Length];<br />
        loFile.Read(lcFile, 0, (int)loFile.Length);<br />
        loFile.Close();<br />
<br />
<br />
        oPostData.Write(Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetBytes(<br />
                "--" + boundary + "\r\n" + "&output=soap12" + "&verbose=1" +<br />
                "Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"uploaded_file\" filename=\"" +<br />
                new FileInfo("C:\\testfile.txt").Name + "\"\r\n\r\n"));<br />
<br />
        oPostData.Write(lcFile);<br />
<br />
        oPostData.Write(Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetBytes("\r\n"));<br />
<br />
        request.ContentLength = oPostStream.Length;<br />
        using (Stream s = request .GetRequestStream())<br />
            oPostStream.WriteTo(s);<br />
<br />
        oPostData.Close();<br />
<br />
        Thread.Sleep(1000);<br />
<br />
        try<br />
        {<br />
            HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();<br />
            StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());<br />
            string str = streamReader.ReadToEnd();<br />
<br />
            Response.Write(str);<br />
        }<br />
        catch (WebException ex)<br />
        {<br />
            HttpWebResponse webResoponse = (HttpWebResponse)ex.Response;<br />
            Response.Write(webResoponse.StatusCode);<br />

Changing Access DB Password

Richard Blythe9-Jul-07 7:24

Richard Blythe

9-Jul-07 7:24

I writing a C# app that relies on an Access database for info. I have password protection on the database and have no trouble opening it. However, I want to allow the user to change the password when they so desire. After searching google for awhile, I have found some promising code but It throws the exception: "Cannot change password on a shared open database."

I then seen some code on another forum that said to format the connection string like: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source='"strDataSource "';Mode=Share Deny Read|Share Deny Write"

A guy wrote on that foumn and said that when he trys to change the password to a new one, he gets an error saying that the password isn't valid.

What is the proper way in which to change a password?

may your code be error free

Password Length Throws Error

I have figured out how to change the Access DB password through code but there is an confusing error that is occuring. If the password is around 12 chars long, everything is fine but if I have a password that is around 20 chars long, an exception is thrown says that it is an invalid password! I can get in just fine with the exact same (long) password using the MS Access interface so whats the deal?

may your code be error free

Hi
I need a simple custom event logger to trace and debug my app (in production environment).
I saw an article here in codeproject a few months ago with a tool that read the logs (I think it was a txt file) with a nice custom view but I can't seem to find it... Smile | :)

If anyone knows one I can use please let me know.

Question on Horizantal Scroller and Client Screen Resolution...

Hello everyone,

I have a Windows Application which has a series of buttons placed horizantally on the bottom of the Windows Application. It appears that depending on the Client Screen Resolution some of the the buttons are not appearing on the client computer.

I was wondering if there is a way that I can use horizantal scroller to make the entire control visiable and accessable regardless of the screen resolution of the client?

Thank you very much and have a great.

What is the purpose of suspend and resume layout? i cant see it working

Hi,

For a long time that im trying to understand how resume/suspend layout works.

I can't actually see any result of using those calls.

I'm trying to avoid visual glitches caused for example by several repeated insertions in a treeview.

but nothing happened.

i also tried to used this calls when doing rezises to panels in realtime in order to avoid visual glitches as well.

nothing happened...

Can anyone give me a clear idea of how to use those calls?

Thx,

Nuno

Hi,

try this in the click handler of a button on your form, that has an
empty but visible ListView named lv:

lv.SuspendLayout();
for (int i=0; i<100000; i++) {
    lv.Items.Add("item "+i);
}
lv.ResumeLayout();

and try the same without Suspend/ResumeLayout; you wont need a stopwatch
to experience the difference.

Hello,

i would like to have a windows form combo box populated from an xml file,

here is the format of the xml file

<br />
//i had to add quotes to the tags to display, there is no quotes in real code..thanks<br />
"<"ITEMS">"<br />
"<"NAME">""<"/"NAME">"<br />
"<"URL">""<"/"URL>"<br />
"<"/"ITEMS">"<br />

i want to take these two items and assign them as variables

NewName;
NewUrl;

which i will then populate the combo box with...

and read them with this code

<br />
            // Declare a variable of type  XmlTextReader<br />
            //XmlTextReader xtr = null;<br />
            //// Declare a string that holds the name of the file<br />
            //string fileName = "ConboItems.xml";<br />
<br />
            //try<br />
            //{<br />
            //    // Initialize the XmlTextReader variable with the name of the file<br />

            //        switch (xtr.NodeType)<br />
            //        {<br />
            //            case XmlNodeType.Text:<br />
            //                // If you find text, put it in the combo box' list            //              <br />
            //                this.comboChannels.Items.Add(xtr.Value);<br />
                            <br />
            //                break;<br />

            //    }<br />
<br />
