I apologize; I should have marked this thread as a tip… I wanted to answer the question "Is There a Minimum Form Width?" from the referenced closed thread as I found the above information useful. Calling Form.Show sets a minimum form width and height for some reason, however one can call...

It seems that Form.Show sets a minimum form size as noted in the following thread: thread796-1446495 The form size however can be modified after the call to Form.Show without this restriction.

Qik3Coder, This misuse of the label control is simple and works surprisingly well. For my own sanity, instead of using a label I adapted your method a bit by creating a user control, ucLine, and setting its background color to black. Everything else as you described. Thanks!

Thank you for the fast response Qik3Coder. This is an interesting method which I had not yet come across. I'm not sure that this is the best approach however. I have experimented with the following thus far: > Using DrawLine to draw a line to the panel > Creating an icon at runtime using...

Hi, I am looking for suggestions as to the best way to create a precision "cursor" within a panel. The cursor needs to have two lines one which streches across the panel on the x axis and one that streches from the y axis at the current mouse coordinates. Thanks

Hi Beilstwh, Yes there is a common product_ID... Thanks

Hi SantaMufasa, I am NOT concerned with inserts or deletes, I am only worried about updates to the inventory description field in either the new table or the legacy table… The table structures are different, but the inventory description field is identical in both. Thanks, M444

I have two tables one is a table from a new system and the other is from a legacy system. When a product description changes in either the old or new table I need Oracle to update the other table. I created a trigger in both tables to do this, but if the legacy table updates the new table...

From what I’ve found, it looks like the only way to do this is through the SQL Dependency Class which only works for SQL Server 2005...

Is there a way in .Net to determine if a datasource, a SQL server database, has been updated? Like a datasource updated event? Thanks

I found the solution shortly after posting… but perhaps this will help someone else. Request.CurrentExecutionFilePath will provide the current page even when using server.transfer.

Hi, I use Request.Path and some string functions to retrieve the name of the current page. ie. If the user is at the following URL: http://www.myWebsite.com/currentPage.aspx Then “currentPage.aspx” is returned to do some processing... This works except where I use server.transfer instead of...

Thanks SirusBlackOp, Your variable handling makes sense. Basically you manage all of the user’s session information through this inherited page and session class which you have explained… I like your concept; its nice and clean. I’m going to try to implement this on a test app and see how it...

ca8msm, "It depends what you are storing" Good point… The circumstances I would like to know the best practices for are as follows: 1. User_ID - currently using session Storing: User_ID (SECURE not easily manipulated or visible) How large: Small How Long: As long as user is active...

It may seem that this topic has been covered extensively in Microsoft’s documentation, technical websites, and in previous tek-tip posts but no source, that I have found, fully addresses my real-world issues. Basically I would like to know how you would handle passing variables in this...
