I think they are the same thing, just named differently for WinXP. I use RDC to control my Win2K server from my XP Pro laptop.

Remote Desktop Connection is the name of the client program on Windows XP that enables you to connect to either Terminal Services on Windows 2000/2003 Server, or to another Windows XP desktop (where it's known as Remote Desktop).
The difference is that if you connect to a Windows XP desktop, you're the only user on that desktop. (In other words, a local user, if there was one, is logged out so you can log in.) For Terminal Services on a Windows 2000/2003 Server, you are just another user logged into the system, and you share the server with all the other users who are also logged in.

Am I correct in the conclusion that it's impossible to do:
CDaoDatabase* db=new CDaoDatabase();
db->Create("aNewDatabase");
in C#/.NET???
So I have to write a C++ function that I call from C# to do this???
What idiot decided to remove the ability to programmatically create a database??? Or is there some better way? (Oh, god, don't tell me--COM).

Never mind. Found this in a CACHED(!!!) website (thank goodness for Google's caching--the original link is gone).
In Visual Studio Design Environment
Click on the Project Menu
Click on Add Reference
Click on the COM Tab
Select Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
A reference to DAO will be added to your project
The Data Access Objects Library DAO will be accessible in your project using COM Interop
The namespace DAO will be come visible in your project.
To create a database called database.mdb using Access 2000 DAO and C# use the following line of code :
DAO.DBEngineClass Db = new DAO.DBEngineClass();
Db.CreateDatabase("C:\\bin\\dao\\database.mdb",DAO.LanguageConstants.dbLangGeneral,DAO.DatabaseTypeEnum.dbDecrypt);
All happy now.

By the way, you may wanna use the @ for literal strings that contain backslashes. Then you don't have to escape them:
Db.CreateDatabase(@"C:\bin\dao\database.mdb", ...);

i have 3 forms and a toolbar with 3 buttons.
Form1, Form2, Form3, tbbForm1, tbbForm2, tbbForm3
i want the toolbar buttons to switch between these 3 forms.
the problem i'm having is that each time i press a button, it opens the form in a new window.
private void toolBar1_ButtonClick(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.ToolBarButtonClickEventArgs e)
{
if(e.Button == this.tbbForm1)
{
Form1 frm1 = new Form1();
this.frm1.Show();
}
else if(e.Button == this.tbbForm2)
{
Form2 frm2 = new Form2();
this.frm2.Show();
}
else if(e.Button == this.tbbform3)
{
Form3 frm3 = new Form3();
this.frm3.Show();
}
}[/code]
i know my code calls on a new object each time the button is pressed. i have tried instantiating each of the forms in the constructor so i could just use the Show() method, but this does not work.
please help! =)

Erm, what happens if you instantiate all three forms, the for each button do something like this:
frm1.Show();
frm2.Hide();
frm3.Hide();
On the other hand, if you're toolbar is doing this, why not instead use a tab control and tab pages?

The reason why is you must first define it like so
<br />
public class Form1<br />
{<br />
<br />
private Form2 fm;<br />
<br />
public Form1()<br />
{<br />
fm = new Form2();<br />
}<br />
<br />
public void Button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e )<br />
{<br />
fm.Show();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
thats all there is to it

Pardon my stupidity on this one:
I need to iterate through a dataset that contains one table w/ one row. Essentially I have 5 fields within the table, and each field has to be output to a label or text box. How do I go about doing this?
Ken

//get the first table in the dataset, first row (if you only have 1 row), get
//the data by fieldName
textBox1.Text = dataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0]["fieldName"].ToString();
textBox2.Text = dataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0]["otherField"].ToString();
I find it easier to use a DataRow...
DataRow row = dataSet.Tables[0].Rows[0];
textBox1.Text = row["fieldName"].ToString();
textBox2.Text = row["otherField"].ToString();
You can also use numerics in the field if the field names are not constant...
textBox1.Text = row[0].ToString();
textBox2.Text = row[1].ToString();

although its faster to
SqlDataAdapter myAdapter = MySqlCommand.ExecuteReader();
object[] myArrayOfColumns = myAdapter.GetValues();

I need a way to create an activeX at runtime, with nothing more than a CLSID. To put it a different way, I have to be able to create an activeX control without linking to its tlb, similiar to how the ActiveX Control Test Container works.
I used to do this in MFC with the CWnd::CreateControl() function. Is there some C# equivalent to this?
Thanks,
Aaron Stibich

Do it the same way as you would create a normal WinForms control:
Button button=new Button();
this.Controls.Add(button);

Wouldn't that require that I've imported the type information for my control (ie. You cannot new a "Button" without having imported the type information for Button)? I need to create and connect to the activeX via late binding methods only.

You can do:
Type type=Type.GetType(classname,false,false);
object control= Activator.CreateInstance(type);
...
But I'd be interested to know if you have to use aximp.exe on the control to create a .NET control wrapper before you can put it on a .NET form.

I am working on an application which will have the same menu and tool bar in every form.
Does this mean that I should design a 'template' form which has only the menu and tool bar.
Then, each new form ( including the main form ) will inherit this template form?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, this is one way to do it.

Hi all,
is there a way to open MS Office documents (word documents, excel spreadsheets, powerpoint presentations) and acrobat PDF files within a Windows Forms application? Is there an ActiveX component or something similar to achieve this? Thanks for any clues in advance!

Well, I am not interested in manipulating or generating PDF files, I just want to view them in my application and needed a clue, something where to start and what to look for. But anyway thanks a lot for the info, iSEDQuickPDF looks good and I may use it in future.
