I'm using ODBC to connect to an AS400 DB2 tables. I need also to get full information of each table, e.g. created date, last modified date, modified user Id, table actual size, etc?

Can I have multi columns in a comboBox?
Jassim Rahma

Nope. You'd have to make a new class and then inherit from ComboBox. Then do OwnerDraw.
I don't know whether it's just the light but I swear the database server gives me dirty looks everytime I wander past.

Hi,
Our police department want to use the Win CE to allow the police me outside to check the status of a card or drivng license without calling the traffic department. I need to know the following please (note: this can be win or web application):
1. Do I have to connect to the Win CE to internet to get the data or I can connect to the police department network?
2. Any one can give his suggesstions on this plan?

Several Police Departments are already doing this. I know at least one in Maryland, USA is - you'll have to search the net to find information on it but if you find an article I bet it would save you a lot of design work
As far as hooking to internet - that's probably the easiest way since so many 3rd pary hardware & wireless solutions exist. You can then send private Packets to the police dept servers. Not sure what you mean by or I can connect to the police department network?, if you mean private dial up into secure network, forget it I'd say - too slow & error prone. Just go through internet using secure sockets.
Good luck, and let us know how the project is coming along...

I'd say use the internet (using GSM or whatever the US mobile equivalent is), you'd need a big transmitter on you handheld otherwise - local wireless solutions are not powerful enough for city use.
secure sockets obviously and also make sure that it can't be abused eg - lunatic checking the name of good looking girl in car going by - so test test test and no real data available until you are satisfied.
Technically speaking the dictionary would define Visual Basic users as programmers. But here again, a very generalized, liberal definition is being employed and it's wrong - just plain wrong - Tom Archer 5/12/02

How can check the screen resolution of a system to make sure it's 800X600 and if not change it to 800X600 but change it back when closing without prompting the user to confirm?

I don't know about changing the resolution, but to check it use Screen.

I have a Windows Form application that helps build a XML file which has a menu item to make it perform a translation to another format (MC in my case).
I would like this application to be usable at the command line, like in a batch file, so it can be included in a build process. Obviously, I don't want any windowing when run from the command line. To achieve this trick, I simply check if there is some command line parameters. If there is no command line parameter, I start the Windows form.
I modified the main fuction from:
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new MsgEditorMainForm());
}
to
static void Main()
{
string[] cmdLine = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();
if (cmdLine.Length > 1)
{
Console.Out.WriteLine("MessageEditor: Translation from <" + cmdLine[2] + "> to <" + cmdLine[3] + ">");
}
else
{
Application.Run(new MsgEditorMainForm());
}
}
(error handling stripped for clarity)
The problem is that the Console.Out.WriteLine... don't produce any output, even if I start the application from a command prompt.
What is wrong?

I have found the solution: change your project settings from "Windows application" to "Console application". There is one drawback though: There will be a command window even when the application is in the "Windows Form" mode.

Is there a way to synchronize the vertical scrollbars between two controls, so that as you scroll up and down in one you also scroll up and down in the other? For example, a ListView and a DataGrid sitting side-by-side, or two ListViews.
Thanks

I am having a great deal of trouble with what on the surface seems simple. I am writing a Component (not a Control) which needs to access the Form on which it is contained,
<br />
public class Resizer : System.ComponentModel.Component<br />
{ <br />
public Resizer(System.ComponentModel.IContainer container)<br />
{ <br />
container.Add(this);<br />
InitializeComponent(); <br />
<br />
Need to get the form ......<br />
I need no designer interface hence the inheritance from Component. Does anyone have any ideas of how to get the Form? I have looked at ISite and tried
<br />
<br />
Form c = (Form)this.Site.GetService(typeof(Form)); <br />
<br />
I wish to emulate the design time appearance of the timer component so explictly don't want to inherit from Control and set Visible to false

Yeah, I had this problem too. But I never found a solution, I got round it another way that isn't applicable to you unfortunatly.
Come on everyone! Someone out there must know how to do this *very* useful thing.

Pete,
Thanks for the reply......The damn thing must be possible!!!!
I'm not glad, but you know what I mean, that others have hit the same brick wall and I'm not just incapable of reading MSDN etc..
It was a pain in ATL but at least it was a pain. I expect the feature is not documented, but is present. I have tried reflection but there is so must to reflect upon that mist starts to fall!!!
Do you know of a way to contact Microsoft or any articles on the component/site/container architecture. MSDN seems only to have a very sparse collection and any info on querying the IContainer via the ISite is simply lacking.

a snippet from that post by Ian Griffiths
"This [code] detects when it is being hosted in VS.NET (or any other environment that provides the IDesignerHost interface) and obtains a reference to the containing form if there is one. VS.NET will detect that the property's value is referring to the form, and correctly serializes this in the InitializeComponent method as:
this.containedByWindow1.ContainingForm = this;
So that's the code you want, but VS.NET will generate it automatically, meaning your users are no longer required to remember to type it."
