Ok it took a while to find out the correct answer to this- I'm posting the answer to hopefully help anyone else coming up against the same problem and not wanting to *hack* a rough solution. Here goes: Firstly you should never reference a path in your code like...

Jason, thanks for your suggestion, however...... Sorry I'm feeling a bit stunned. Surely one of you C# developers out there has developed an app that either saves or references a document on a Vista PC. Has no one else come across this? And I can't believe that there is no way of doing this...

But I try and avoid hard coding any file paths if I can - is there really no other way to reference this path? Doing it the way you have suggested will mean having to have an XP version of the software and a Vista version! Any other suggestions?

I am opening the document like this: string fullPath = rootFolderPath + Properties.Settings.Default.reviewFolder + "\\" + thisReview.Reference + "\\"; string WordfilePath = fullPath + thisReview.Reference + "_Manual.docx"...

Yes that may be but I don't believe it is - has anyone else experienced this??

I developed a C# app last year which has been used on 4 or 5 pcs regularly during that time with no problems. Part of the app copies a Word document (docx 2007) then dynamically appends a few pages then saves it in a set place on the PC. The app has been installed on XP, Vista, with PCs that...

I am building an app which consists of two forms - one for data entry (datagridview databound to a custom object) and one for display on a separate display screen (hence the separate form). Is it possible to use databindings across forms when using a custom user control? The problem I have is...

If I understand you crrectly I don't think you need to do this.... open your form which has the datagridview and click the datagridview once. You'll see a little black arrow top right hand corner of the datagridview. Click it and then click the 'edit columns' option. Select the column that you...

I am looking into building a C# app that will let the user enter information which will then be formatted and displayed on a separate screen. I guess I could either show the formatted data in a new windows form or in a web browser. The system will be set up on a lap top so the user will be...

Oh dear I knew it would be simple. Actually realised it was because I wasn't setting the objects date propertuy to a default value of today. Thanks though!

I'm using a datetimepicker control and it's text and value properties are databound to a datetime property of a custom object. The date value defaults to todays date. If I open the application and enter other data, but don't change the date value in the picker (because I want todays date and...

Ok so you're getting a list of values out of a database? I would be inclined to putting the results of the db query into a BindingList of objects eg: BindingList<Record> records = new BindingList<Record> where the Record object would something like: class Record { private int mainTypeId...

I found the following article really useful for Lists - it might be worth a look. http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/camurphy/csharpLists03302006170209PM/csharpLists.aspx

I've been using a bindinglist to databind a list of objects to a datagridview in the project I am working on. The bindinglist type is 'Issue' where 'Issue' is a custom object. However, there has been a small change in the spec and I think I am now going to have to use a custom collection as the...

eb24 - can you explain what it is you are trying to do? What is it you are trying to show in the checkedlistbox? To databind an object to a control the normal process is to set a bindingsource up in your project with the object as the data source. You then use the bindingsource to bind to the...

I didn't think you could use templateColumns with a datagridview (Windows Forms)? I thought you could only use them in a datagrid in asp.net. If I'm wrong could you point me to an example? Thanks.

I have a datagridview which is databound to an object. There are 4 properties in this object all boolean which are shown as checkboxes in the datagridview. I want them to act like radiobuttons so when one is checked the others are all unchecked. So I added a method to my class so that whenever...

Thanks for all the great tips people!! I have rewritten the code and it is so much easier to follow!

I have a bit of code here which looks really awful to me - what would be the best way to redesign/rewrite this? public ImpactType ImpType { get { if (costD) { if (r1) {...

I am programmatically adding a tabpage to a tabcontrol, and then adding a user control to this tab page. The application starts maximized and I need to make sure that this user control stretches to fill the tab page by setting it's anchorstyles. However my code just doesn't seem to be having any...
