This sounds a little weird, but I switched computers from a W11 Pro machine to a W10 Pro machine. On the W10 computer, whenever I print a file (ANY printer on my system), it takes about 10-15 seconds for the printing to start. On the W11 machine, it was instantaneous. Is there a W11:W10 reason for this?
Thanks!

SQL Server Management Studio
When I start the program, it asks me for a server. That is the only thing, I think, that is keeping me from starting the program.
What in the world are they referring to when they say "server"? I am running it on my little old desktop.
Server type: Database Engine
I specified dave-dt-i7\sqlexpress, and some other things, but every time, I get the same error:
Cannot connect to dave-dt-i7\sqlexpress.... -
Bind an Access table to a text box
I have been searching for weeks, but I cannot find an example that I can understand.
I have a simple requirement. I have a text box on a form. I want to choose a row from a Microsoft Access table to fill this text box. I don't have a problem with the connection string. I am told that this is called "data binding". How is this done?
Examples would be much better than explanations, please.
Thanks... -
I know how to do that. I want to do it in a PROGRAM. Sorry if my question was not worded correctly. -
Using common code
I have a very simple need. I have been delving through tons of docs, but everything I am reading is misleading, so far.
I wrote D:\Develop\Comm on\utility.cs. It has some common methods that I want to be able to use in ANY of my projects. I do NOT want to physically include this class into those projects, because if it needs to change, I want to have to change only ONE file.
Now in my project called CoffeGame.cs, how... -
Access Exif metadata
I am trying to access the Authors fields from a picture.
I am using System.Windows. Media.Imaging;
My code:
BitmapSource img = BitmapFrame.Cre ate(fs);
BitmapMetadata md = (BitmapMetadata )img.Metadata;
lblTitle.Text = md.Title;
lblSubject.Text = md.Subject;
lblAuthors.Text = md.Author; // <======
lblComments.Tex t = md.Comment;

Learn VB.Net first. It is the easiest to learn.
Pick up a beginner's book. Type up the examples. Observe and learn.
Then, when you're ready, write your own number-guessing game.
Enjoy!Leave a comment:

Access Exif metadata
I am trying to write a program to access exif metadata. I found a library to do that, but I am having trouble with ONE field: Author. I found an example that shows me how to WRITE that field, but I would like an example that shows me how to READ that field, and I don't know how to convert this example:
myBitmapMetadat a.Author = new ReadOnlyCollect ion<string>( new List<string>() { "Lori Kane" } );

DataGridView - Not much doc out there
Can anyone tell me how I can tell if a checkbox in a DataGridView (I call it DGV1) is checked? When I click one box, I get to the DGV1_CellClick event. From there, I am lost. A lot of the examples show a foreach, but I am not processing ALL of the rows. I just want to look at the ONE cell in ONE column and ONE row, and see if it is the one that was clicked/checked. In other words, the click of WHICH checkboxbox caused this event to trigger?

File Sharing/network
I set up a folder on my desktop that I want to share with my network. One of my laptops can access it, with no problem. Two other laptops get "access denied" messages. Since I can get to the shared folder from one of my PCs I am assuming that I did the sharing correctly. Why in the world can't the other laptops get through? I tried turning the firewall off, but that didn't help. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Does anyone know... -
OOP Accessing data from a different method
I am a professional mainframe programmer, and I am trying to learn .Net. I have an OOO problem that is stumping me. I can get around it, but it would look like amateur hacking. I would like to do it the OOO way.
Simply put:
In one method (ReadAccounts), I am reading an Access table into a List (AcctsList). I don't have a problem with that; that works.
In another method (DisplayAccount s), I would like to READ that list,... -
I understand that a seasoned hacker can disassemble a .Net program, and get to anything I have written. A seasoned hacker would be bored and unrewarded here. All I want to do is keep the casual hack from seeing and using my word lists. I appreciate your in-depth analysis and reply. I have my work cut out for me now. Thank you so much.Leave a comment:

No kidding. Another useless "help". Did you chime in to scold me? Please don't "help" if you don't have anything constructive to contribute.Leave a comment:

1. Encrypt the file with the words. You may need to write a small utility to encrypt your original text file.
Understood. But do you have a little more direction? I can do C#, but I am new to encryption, especially one that I can decrypt in step3 below.
2. Import it into your exe
Understood
3. Include code in your exe to decrypt it when you access the text data.
If I can get step 1 working, I am...Leave a comment:

@Rabbit: Why did you even chime in if you didn't have anything to provide? :) "Use a simple encryption algorithm" is not very specific, and therefore not very helpful. If I knew what I had to do, I wouldn't be asking for ideas.Leave a comment:

Thanks for the response, but it doesn't quite apply.
I have an external list. I "add file", bringing that into Visual Studio. That makes the list visible in the .EXE file after I build. I need to encrypt it BEFORE I bring it in, and decrypt it AFTER the program starts running. I don't have a problem with challenges, but I would like to jump this hurdle first. :) Thank you.Leave a comment:

Hide my data
I am writing a word game, and my word lists are copied from an external text file during development time, and embedded within the program (the .EXE file). How do I hide these word lists from prying eyes who browse the .EXE file?
Thank you! -
Wow! Thank you so much for all of your time and effort. I will grab this code and apply it, and see if I can get a finished product. I will be happy to share it with you once I am done.Leave a comment:
