Found out how :D here's how System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\Program Files\Buswork\PhoneAgent.exe", "") That does what I want to do. The 2nd parameter I have there is empty. If you want to pass arguments to the executing program put them in the 2nd parameter. regards, Ricky

maybe try this If you don't want to put it into a database then how about you write the 1 line to a text file that both apps will point to? so VB calls C#, C# takes a photo, C# overwrites PictureFilename.txt, VB gets control back from C#, VB reads PictureFilename.txt and that should be it...

that still won't work Hi. I hit this using parameters. It won't recognise the @WORKORDERNO you have in your sql statement. SQL CE doesn't use named parameters in the sql. Use ? As you only have 1 parameter replacing the @WORKORDERNO with a single ? will fix it. If you have multi ones like...

is that for desktop? I ask because we don't have a DataGridView control in .Net CF We have a DataGrid control. Also I'm not using datasets in my code - I populate a grid via a bindingsource using a command object and in some places a datareader (for populating my autocomplete combo boxes). I...

thanks but not quite what i needed What I wanted is for when I display a datagrid that has a boolean field that it would show something other than True or False this case statement in the sql select is what does the trick Thanks to inertiam who showed me the case statement. here's the sql...

sorry - i wasn't clear The checkbox is one on the edit form - not on the grid. The grid shows Yes/No then when I load the fields of the edit form I convert the Yes/No to True/False for the .Checked property of the checkbox with the simple iif statement. It's working very well. Thanks for all...

True or False doesn't work It has to be 1 or 0. In sql boolean is represented by a bit type - 1 or 0. If I put True or False in the statement it crashes. I have it working with the 1 or 0. regards, Ricky

Thanks, that works fine Thanks for your help. That works just right. regards, Ricky

got the file now what? I have loaded the file into a .vb file and added it to my project. How do I implement it? I haven't built a grid from the ground up which is what I think I need to do to make this work. regards, Ricky

doesn't work the DataGridCustomTextBoxColumn doesn't have a property called Alignment in .net cf it also doesn't have a Owner property either I looked at the DataGridColumnStyle and it doesn't have alignment either. I believe the desktop version does. any ideas? regards, Ricky

I've scoured the net and it seems to me we can't custom align the columns of a datagrid in vb.net ce. Is there another way around it? I have a currency field that I'd like to align to the right. The grid is set to do left internally and we can't change it. The desktop version allows this...
