I wonder why you don't use a fully managed code, without the use of the old GDI APIs.

I don't think you can do this via System.Drawing.Printing, because theirs classes pass by the print manager. You need to comunicate directly to the printer, and this is not so simple...

Just a question. Why when you need a report you say "Crystal Report", also if it is (in my opinion) the worse tools all around?

Yes, you have 2 ways: - store the image path - store the byte array in a memo (or blob depending on the DBMS) that you can retrieve with Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(_image); TypeConverter bmpc = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(bmp.GetType()); return (byte[])bmpc.ConvertTo(bmp, typeof(byte[])); With "old" tecnologies you colud also store the image as OLE-resource, but I deprecate it.

Hi all! I'm here to advertise my little (free) reporting tool :p If you (as me) are - tired of that scrap, confused, confusing and complex to use tool shipped with VisualStudio - stunned that there is no price-accessible reporting tool around the world - looking for something really simple to use you can give a chance to mine at http://www.neodatatype.net. I'm adding scripting support and I'm continuously update it. Please, give me your opinion. :D Thanks

mmmh... I'm experiencing a little time-gap... I thinked to be in 2005 by now ;)

For all you that don't want to use Crystal Report (I hate it: it seems to be written by a monkey) I've written a little free report engine that can be used in .Net apps. Follow the link in the signature.

What do you thing about my little FREE reporting tool? :)

still growing :)

you need to add the imports to your module that use it (and this is ok) but also you need to reference the assembly from your project. Go to project explorer window, right-click on "references" and choose "Add", then select (double click) System.Data.dll

You need to add the new textbox to the container control. i.e. Form1.Controls.Add(TextBox1); Remember to add the events handler to the textbox if you need them.

Try this: For Each dr As DataRow In dsDataset.Tables(page).Rows Debug.Print dr.Item(0).ToString() Next

You will not able to get the same experience on different browsers. This is the starting point. ASP.Net require javascript enabled. Does your FF has it? Use CSS: they can give a better control on the aspect of your pages. For the ImageButtons I don't know: I use them with FF and they works well. They just doesn't show the tooltip, but this is an ASP.net + IE bug that do not use a completely standard HTML for images, and not a FF bug as it could seem.

Mmmm... I got a similar error when I forgotten to close the connections, so after some connection was pending SQLserver didn't respond. Be sure you close ALL the connections after you used it or before to change page.

Hi all. Question :) I'd like to add to my user control a property DataSource like other standard .Net controls. Now, DataSource is defined as object. How can I: - Test if an object can be a valid DataSource? (for the set property). - Read datarow from a generic DataSource? (to fill my control's lines). ??? Thanks!
