I would like to retrieve the PDA owner name in Windows Mobile 5 using C# compact framework 3.0. I thought this would be easy, but I can't seem to find an answer. Thanks for any help.

I tried to run that code, but I kept getting an error (something about invocation). I ended up using the code from http://www.crystaltech.com/forum/post.asp?method=TopicQuote&TOPIC_ID=7741&FORUM_ID=16 that works perfectly.

Does anyone know how to compact an Access database via code? I've developed a Windows form application using Visual Studio .NET 2005 in C#.

ChangePassword didn't work because it needs the old password. I ended up using ResetPassword, but this is not the best choice, because I still need to know the security answer. What happens if a user forgets their password and the security answer? It seems that there has to be a way around...

If they knew the old password, then it wouldn't need to be reset. In my experience, many users will forget their passwords. I'm looking for another method (besides the PasswordRecovery object).

I'm using the membership and role provider in an ASP.NET 2 application. My client does not want users to recover their own passwords. I have set up an administration page that will enable application administrators to add/remove users and assign roles. I want to add capability to reset...

I'm creating an ASP.NET 2.0 web application with a SQL Server backend and Crystal Reports (developed using VS2005). I'm having a very difficult time finding a shared web hosting company to host my application. Places like www.discountasp.net tell me that they will not support Crystal Reports...

I have a report that has fields formatted for Scientific Notation to 2 decimal places. This works fine except when the number in the record source Query has more than 7 decimal places. For example, 1.2046629E-06 will appear as the format specifies: 1.20E-6 in the report. But...

No, placing the group summaries in the report footer, will not work since the summaries occur throughout the report. For example, when ever the sample medium (soil, air, water, sediment, ...) changes. When ever the sample medium changes, there are 3 or 4 group level summaries (there are other...

I need something that is much more robust. I want to keep the group footer summaries (for up to 5 levels) all together. The report has many detail records that are followed by up to 5 Group level summaries in the Group Footer (total for Group 1, Total for Group 2, etc.) The report does not...

In order to use a PDF writer, I need to change all horizontal lines that are drawn in my reports to rectangles (without any height). It will take a long time to do this manually. Does anyone know how to accomplish this programatically?

My reports have group summaries in the footer up to 4 or 5 levels. It looks bad when the last group summary (or a few of them) print at the top of the next page without any preceeding data. I would like to keep all of the group summaries together. If they can not fit on the current page, then...

I have the same issue - multiple group summaries that need to appear together (there are sometimes 4 group summaries). Ideally, if they won't fit on the same page, I would like to have at least 3 detail rows also move to the next page. This way the next page will have 3 detail rows, and 4...

This memo field is for a footer in a report. The user wants to be able to enter what ever they want. Parts of it may be citations to literature, general comments, notes about data, and the acronym list. There are over 50 reports, and each one will have a different set of footnotes. I was...

Unfortunately, the memo field is to hold more than just the definition list, so a normalized table is not the answer in this case. The tip from Zameer is just what I was needed! Thanks a lot, I can't wait to implement it tomorrow. This way is a lot more affordable than using the 3rd party...
