If you've got all that going on, I would have to say it would be easier to drop the controls and just do all the drawing yourself and not have to worry about all that. Drag and drop in this case doesn't sound like it would be easier. That's just my opinion though. :)

Can you use serialization (assuming you have control over the XML structure)?

Hmm, I really wouldn't recommend using controls for this, but... public partial class Form1 : Form { int _x, _y; bool _moving; public Form1() { _moving = false; InitializeComponent(); } private void label1_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { _x = e.X; _y = e.Y; _moving = true; } private void label1_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (_moving) { label1.Left += e.X - _x; label1.Top += e.Y - _y; } } private void label1_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e) { if (_moving) { if (Rectangle.Intersect(new Rectangle(label1.Left, label1.Top, label1.Left + label1.Width, label1.Top + label1.Height), new Rectangle(panel1.Left, panel1.Top, panel1.Left + panel1.Width, panel1.Top + panel1.Height)) != null) { panel1.Controls.Add(label1); } _moving = false; } } } Disclaimer - the above is untested. :)

For #1 - can you post the code? What do you mean by "Reports"? For #2 - set the SelectedIndex property of the combo to -1

You can do this using the DirectionSound portion of DirectX, yes.

Public Class Form1 Private Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Click Me.Text = Now.ToString End Sub End Class

Why do you need to do this? You don't normally drag controls around on a form at run-time.

What do you mean by "created some graphics on a form"? In what are the graphics stored?

See if the attached helps.WindowsApplication2.zip

Sounds like you need to talk to your network admins. :)

OK, I'm stumped on this. I've got an ASP.NET 2.0 page with a DetailsView on it, tied to a SQLDataSource. Here's the SQL Server 2000 data table I'm using: [dbo].[CDRL Infromation] ( [cdrlID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , [OPFI #] [varchar] (255) [DID #] [varchar] (50) [Field Instruction Title] [varchar] (255) [Gov Lead] [varchar] (255) [Due] [varchar] (100) [Next Due Date] [datetime] [Current Rev Date] [datetime] [Current Rev] [float] [sME] [varchar] (255) [TECH WRITER] [varchar] (255) [Days to Next Update] [int] Here's the SELECT and UPDATES for the data source: SELECT * FROM [CDRL Infromation] WHERE ([cdrlID] = @cdrlID2) UPDATE [CDRL Infromation] SET [OPFI #] = @column1, [DID #] = @column2, [Field Instruction Title] = @Field_Instruction_Title, [Gov Lead] = @Gov_Lead, [Due] = @Due, [Next Due Date] = @Next_Due_Date, [Current Rev Date] = @Current_Rev_Date, [Current Rev] = @Current_Rev, [sME] = @SME, [TECH WRITER] = @TECH_WRITER, [Days to Next Update] = @Days_to_Next_Update WHERE [cdrlID] = @original_cdrlID I attempt to edit a record and when I click the Update link on the detailsview I get: Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'nvarchar'.

I've tried looking at the data in the ItemUpdating event but it doesn't really present anything useful. Any suggestions would be helpful.

IMO, a user shouldn't be adding information to a child table unless the relevant record is created in the parent table first.

You should be able to just change the drive letter to the server name.

Wouldn't you just do: inbox.RemoveChild(email)

Umm, code?

It's not so much starting over. Much of the language is still the same. You just have a huge pre-built library of classes to use. First, a StreamReader is just what is says - a reader. You would use the StreamWriter class to write data back out to a file. Second, the class just reads in file data to memory, you would still do the manipulation using variables. For your example how you would read in the data depends on how you have it set up in the file. If it's all on one line in a delimited format you just read the line into a string variable and using the String class's Split function to chop the line into it's separate pieces of data. If it's on separate lines, use the ReadLine to read each piece into separate variables. Hope that's enough of an explanation. Not "out of the box" AFAIK.

Why not just do: DataGrid1.DataSource = DbDataCC or am I missing something?

See the attached. It's kind of a hack, but I only spent a couple minutes on it. :cool: :-\Listview.zip

Look into the SmtpMail class and the System.Web.Mail namespace.

So what's the problem?

Here's something that might be useful - http://dotnetrix.co.uk/tabcontrols.html

The code you posted does not necessarily do what you're stating in the comment. Isn't the form hidden when you go to the NotifyIcon? The following works fine for me (VB.NET code): Private Sub Form1_Resize(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Resize If Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Minimized Then Me.Hide() NotifyIcon1.Visible = True End If End Sub Private Sub MenuItem1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem1.Click Me.Visible = True Me.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal NotifyIcon1.Visible = False End Sub

Why would you have to do the entire document? You should just do the text for the line that changes, right?

I'm willing to bet your problem lies here: displayText.Text = x & "-" & intVrs Have you tried stepping through the code line by line in the debugger?

Well, that project doesn't compile for me and I don't have the time to figure out the fix. What version of VB was that done in? I'm using the most recent beta of VB.NET 2005 EE.
