Hi chiph, thanks, I got a handle now, but I can make it public so I can access the form from anywhere else? It seems like I can not declare mmf public in the form class (I guess it's a collision between the form instance and the main function being static)? Regards rickinger

Hi fellows, my MDI application opens it's main container form with the regular command "Application.Run(new MainWindow());" (extendet form class) and I would like to access some public function of that form from somewhere else. Problem: I can not get to the MainWindow object though; there...

(continued) Still so many questions remaining... it seems there is a gazillion of options how to do things now... filling text boxes programatically or databinding; returning stored procedure results as hash tables or as datatables (or sets) - another interesting idea was to build a complete...

Sounds like there is not really a boolean answer to this question? Maybe let me explain a little more detail... Originally this is a two dozens users access-client to access-server database and things just got too slow in the last months (the frontend app is about 20 mb in size now because of...

Perfect! Thanks a lot Steve!

Hi fellows, quick beginner's question... I using sort of a database access layer class to collect and prepare all my sql server's data for use in different places of my application. Now I wonder, should I open and close the SqlConnection every time I access the database or I should I keep the...

Thanks chiph. I also found GetProperties() which even seems to get a little closer to the actual properties only.

OOps forgot to mention... I mean a list of the actual properties ("field names"), not any values they might contain. Thanks a lot in advance.

Is there a way to get a list of all properties a class or an object has during runtime? I'm looking for sort of a collection object.properties[index].count etc...

The windows controls delivered with Visual Studio are - let's say - not quite satisfying; in particular I'm missing the Office XP look and feel & program. I am wondering are there any *recommendable* collections of controls out there? I'm interested in both 3rd party commercial as well as free...

Hi obislavu, thanks, but I don't have any running message loops, and the console window will not close this way...: static void Main(string[] args) { if (args.Length == 0) { Application.Run(new Form1()); Application.Exit(); } [...]

So I read ado.net is not capable of filling the defaultValue property of a datacolumn... I also read about a scenario where you could get default values through a contraints table over a stored procedure - well that was for SQL Server. Anybody has a clue how to access defaultValues for a Jet...

Hi fellows! I would like to try some coding to access a video source (like any connected quicktime) in c#. Honestly I don't have a single clue where to start. Can anybody give me a direction? Thanks in advance waldemar
