Simple question this, there may not be an answer but hoping someone may know.
I have a toolStrip with a number of buttons. The toolStrip is a great choice as it handles the positioning and size of the button based on their text. It also has the visual style I am needing to use.
My problem is the tool strip likes to draw a stupid line at the bottom, which is ok in instances where the tool strip is over lapped by a panel or something. But when I need the buttons to appear in the middle of a panel, for example, the line in question is unacceptable.
Now I can think of long ways around this, like creating my own buttons, handling the paint event, or even overlapping a small panel which matches the bg and covers the line.
I was just hoping someone may know of a property or something that i may have overlooked that can solve my issue without the hassle.
Thanks if anyone can help, if not im sure ill just end up creating a custom button container or something

Nope, you're gonna have to handle the paint event yourself.

Done now, and if anyone whats to know, here is what i did.
Created userControl that inherits from ToolStrip
Then overrided the painting with the following code - very simple really;
protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
base.OnPaint(e);
e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(this.Parent.BackColor), 0, this.Height - 2, this.Width + 1, this.Height + 1);
}
Note: the 1 and 2 constant values used where the first I tried and worked so not checked to see if 0 and 1 would have worked

you could FTP to the server, download the file then do whatever you want with it.
course you will need FTP access privilages.
If this is an option, do a search for 'C# FTP' or something. Its actually not too much code to download a file.
|
|
|
|

You can't do this using anything in the System.Io namespace if the file is behind a web server. Those classes will not work over HTTP.
The information you want would have to be exposed by the web server, probably using a web service, or, if the site was poorly run, exposed by directory browsing being turned on in the web server.

Of it's not working! I just got done tell you that it's not going to work.
You can't map a drive letter to an http:// path. Webservers doesn't support what you want to do. You have to use some other server on those boxes to get the information you want, such a FTP.

|
|
|
|
but will u please tell me how to achieve it

I already did. You have to use a different server, like FTP, on those site in which you want to do this. You can NOT accomplish this at all using a web server (Http). If you don't control these web sites, there's nothing you can do about it.

For the last time. You can NOT user anything in the System.Io namespace on files and folders that begin with "http://". You cannot open files through a web server.
You have to use a path the start with a drive letter or UNC path. Using a URL will not work. If you're trying to access a file from the browser side, and the file is on the server, you can't.

I'm trying to, as the subject line suggests, retrieve a single row from a table with the table's primary key, then edit the row's columns before updating the row to save my changes.
Am I way off here? I'm not sure how to update an existing row.
EdsDBDataSet.VideoRow videoRow = edsDBDataSet.Video.FindByVideo_ID(int.Parse(txtID1.Text));
videoRow.Video_Description = txtDescription.Text;

Hi,
For my web application, I am creating a text file that is stored in a shared network folder. This file needs to have a generic name (ie Text.txt) and each subsequent file will be named with incrementing numbers(Text2.txt then Text3.txt, etc). How do I create the function that will open the target folder, look to see what the last created file was and then create the new file with the appropriate number added to the filename? I also need to pass the created file name to my second webform where it will be monitored.
I want to execute the creation of the text file on a button click.
Thanks in advance for any help given!

I'd start with checking if the folder exists, if so I would count the number of txt files in there (frankly I would use a different extension, simply because other people can drop .txt files in there) and I would count how many exist. Then I would take that number, add a 1 to it and create my "Text" & i.ToString & ".ext" and close it up.
I use i to count.
Enjoy

Dont use the count, cuz if a file is deleted, the 'count + 1' will result in a file name already in use.
Get the fileinfos for the files, then find which is the most recent, then get the number from that and then increment
|
|
|
|
|
Specification didn't take into account deletion of files 
|
|
|
|
|
fair enough, was just a heads up
|
|
|
|
|
Store the last number used in a database or the config file or something, that will allow you to manage it.
|
|
|
|
|
You could use recursion.
steps:
Check if file text.txt exist
--> if so ad a number to the name and redo check (exacute untill check is false (increase the number everytime)
--> if not create/save the file with the current name
If you want I have some vb.net code that does this somewhere but can't look it up at the moment since I'm not at the office.

1) Get all filenames in a directory
2) Sort the list of names using a custom comparer to put your files ("TextNN.txt") with the highest number first
3) Take the first file after the sort and extract the number

Hi,
if the number embedded in the filename uses a fixed format with leading zeroes the alphabetical order is the numeric order too, so no special comparer would be needed.

True, but this requires two things:
1) the number has leading zeros
2) the "TextNN" files are the only files in this folder, no other files like "AAA" and "ZZZ" which would put the "TextNN" files to the middle of the list.
Duh, forgot you can use a filter pattern to get the filenames
With a custom comparer you're on the safe side

Thank you all for your posts. It's been helpful. I'm still a little stuck, but I have the general idea.
The files may get deleted, so I will need to take that into account. Also, I'm not using any database and for this application wont be using one.
This is what I have so far. Please let me know if there are better methods:
public void filecount(string file)
{
int x;
int y;
string file;
int filepaths = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\Desktop\Request", "*txt").Length;
x = filepaths +1;
StreamWriter sw;
sw = File.CreateText(@"C:\Desktop\Request\Text" +y +".txt");
file = Path.GetFileName(@"C:\Desktop\Request\Text" +y +".txt").ToString;
sw.Close();
return file;
}
public void btn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
filecount(file);
}
Thanks again for helping a newbie out!
