Hi Experts
I have a working c# application that users can store files (.doc, .xls,
..bmp, etc) as binary data into an Access database. I now need to extend this
to also store hyperlinks.
First of all I need some way of searching for the hyperlink. In Access there
is an Insert Hyperlink dialog that can be used. Is there a similar dialog in
c#? At the moment I use the OpenFileDialog to select files to be stored,
could this be modified?
If it's possible to store the hyperlinks in the Access database, then I also
need to display these on my c# windows form, so the users can go straight to
a particular website. What is the best way to display the hyperlinks? Could
it be done in a list or DataGridView?
Many thanks

Why not just store the string of the URL in the database? In addition
to that field, I assume you have to have another field with the name of the
file, or the type of the data stored in the field. If not, then how do you
know how to process it later?
In that other field, which has what kind of data is in the field, just
have a type in there that indicates the content is a URL.
I don't know how you could use the Insert Hyperlink dialog from Access.
If you are going to display the column contents, I would select the data
from the database, convert it to a string column (since it is binary, and I
don't know the encoding you are going to use), and then display that in a
custom data grid column which will act as a hyperlink. You would have to
create a custom column style for this already.
Hope this helps.

I have an application that has an Access table that stores the locations of
slides in a Powerpoint file. This used to work fine when there were about 4

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
