That works! (System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath). LOL - I see the issue now, I stupidly named one of my properties for the user control "Application", so intellisense used that :s Thanks for your help.

I can use Application.StartupPath to get what I want. But I am creating a Control Library and from the control library I want to be able to get the Application.StartupPath of the application the control library is used in as intellisense doesn't allow me to get Application.StartupPath from the...

Thanks - that gets what I wanted. I am creating a user control (from a control library) and i want the user control to have the string returned from Application.StartupPath. I'm guessing I will have to pass it the string somehow when it loads? Or is there anyway it can get it from the parent...

I always thought that System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory() got the directory that the main executable of your application was in, but it would appear that I am wrong and this gets the directory that the application was started from, so if it was started in the start menu, it would get the...

Hi there, I am using a component to print the form, but I don't actually want the form to be show. In order to get it to actually print, I have to create the form, show the form and then hide it, but obviously, something popups and disappears quickly. Is there a method to emulate what the...

This is the code i am currently using to no avail: prc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; prc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden; prc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true; prc.Start(); It still creates a window....I'm guessing i am using these methods incorrectly? prc is the...

Hi there, Is it possible without the use of commandline arguments (as i don't think there is a hidden argument for this application) to make an application to start hidden? Also is it possible, that if the application popups with any "message boxes" that it automatically presses the "ok...

Is it hard to do this - ie do you manually have to added and remove the relevant references (or is it automatically). It i choose the target as .NET 2.0 for an application (didn't use the .NET 3.0 or 3.5 stuff) - could i then develop that application in VS2005 if i wanted too? I am currently in...

I take it that its the same if i use an Access Database? So if I try to run the application in a environment that doesn't have SQL installed, it take it that it would give me some sort of .NET exception? (Sorry about the title - noted for the future)

Hi there, I am sure this a stupid question but if i create an application and use a sql database in it, i can save that whole project onto a usb drive and develop it on a different pc can't I? The database isn't in some way saved to the server or something? I don't know why, but i am under the...

Thanks very much - i understand now.

Ok i'm not really with you, but i will google "bitwise operations" and i'll post back if i still need help. Thanks.

Hi there, I am having some trouble comparing file attributes because there can sometimes be more than one attribute assigned to a specific file or directory. So how would i write in vb this: if (one of the file attributes is hidden) Then ...do something.... end if Thanks.

EDIT: Sorted thanks.

Maybe too simplistic, but background image?

I have done some googling on this, and it appears that it is not possible (from what I found).... ...but if anyone knows differently, please say, as I would like to know how to do this aswell. Thanks.

For some reason, after i integrated this into my application it doesn't seem to work. It only triggers when the focus is on the form, but when i tested it on a temporary application, it triggered when a button was focussed aswell Could it be due to the fact that the buttons are being added at...

Thanks for your reply. The reason for wanted to do this is that it is a custom control and I don't want the scrollbars there as they ruin the aesthetics as it is a custom skinned application. I am not too clued up on the paint events and things like that, but is there anyway to override them...

Hi there, Basically, I am creating a keyboard only application, so I want the effect of autoscroll on a flow planel layout control but i don't want the scroll bars to be visible. Is there a way of achieving this without adding complex logic to do it manually? Thanks. EDIT: Just incase you...

lovely - understand fully now...thanks.
