Yep, that is why Nick said myForm1.log , not Form1.log.
myForm1 should be a variable pointing to your Form1 instance.

Hi Bruce,
I think that the problem might be with the:
if (InvokeRequired)<br />
line. Try:
if (this.lb.InvokeRequired)<br />
and then
lb.BeginInvoke(new LogDelegate(log), new object[] { message });<br />
Hope this helps.

The Form and ListBox both run on the same ( UI ) thread, so it doesn't matter which you use.

Thanks Henry.
That is still throwing compile errors. I am beginning to suspect that the problem is because the two background threads are each in their own class file and that they cannot see the log(message) method in Form1 unless I make that method a static. Having made it a static the compiler is having trouble with pretty much every line of the method as follows:
Error 2 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'System.Windows.Forms.Control.Invoke(System.Delegate, params object[])' \\Server1\srvr\Code\PC Programs\SYSTest\SYSTest\Form1.cs 60 17 SYSTest
Can anybody confirm whether I can make the log(message) a static or do I have to restructure my solution to put the background threads inside the Form1 class so I do not have to make the function into a static?
Many thanks for all your valuable input,
Bruce

The two background threads certainly need to be able to 'see' Form1, the best bet is probably as Nick suggested by passing a reference to Form1 in the constructor of the threads.
The problems caused by making log() static are that log() itself will not be able to see the listbox.

"The problems caused by making log() static are that log() itself will not be able to see the listbox."
That makes sense. The compiler errors when the method is static could very well be caused by that.
I will try Nick's suggestion and let you know.
Many, many thanks

What is spawning the threads? If it's the same class then you shouldn't be having an issue. If it's a seperate class then the easiest way is to raise an event in that class, that the form can subscribe to, and in the handler invoke the method required.

Hi Bruce,
the code shown is perfect. However the problem is elsewhere. You have to help those threads to find and use your log method. Especially for logging purposes I tend to do that with static events, like so
(incomplete and unchecked code):
class Form1 : Form {
public Form() {
...
Class2.Logger+=log;
}
public void log(string s) {...}
}
and the "log clients" look like this:
class Class2 {
public static event Action<string> Logger;
private void log(string s) {
if (Logger!=null) Logger(s);
}
}
BTW: the event does not have to be static, but it allows for doing Logger+=log before the actual client objects have been created.
PS: I always like to have a log(Exception) method too; I either solve that by doing the above stuff twice, or by adding the following code in every log client class:
private void log(Exception exc) {
foreach(string s in exc.ToString().Split('\r','\n')) if (s.Length!=0) log(s);
}

Don't want to hijack the thread but...
I experimented briefly with static events a while ago and came across a slight issue of objects not getting disposed.
Normally, if a ClassA instance subscribes to an event in a ClassB instance, when ClassB instance goes out of scope, it will allow ClassA instance to be disposed if there are no other references. With a static event in ClassB, that never happens of course and ClassA instance will continue to exist for the application's lifetime unless it explicitly unsubscribes from the static event.
Worth bearing in mind as otherwise unexpected things can happen, as well as potential memory pressures.

Hi Dave,
IMO your remark is perfectly valid in general; however in this situation the form implementing the log functionality is assumed to be the main form, and to live for as long as the app is running. If not, one should consider implementing the log server in a separate class, or drop the statics.

Hi I'm currently trying to dynamicly invoke each class, in a namespace. So far I have managed to take one class and illiterate through it's methods, properties, etc.. and return a collection of data that gets added to a dataset. However the adjacent classes in that namespace I also need to invoke dynamicly,
So far i've attempted this with Reflection as I did with the individual class, but at a namespace leave it seams I need a different approach

hey all,
I created a shared addin project in visual studio 2005, an addin to excel that creates a button on the excel standard bar and assigns some event to it. Also, my addin acts an Automation addin. Now when I built the 'Setup project' of my addin, I got a setup file which I installed on a test machine. On this test machine, to my surprise, the addin's automation part is not working but the COM part is working fine i.e., the button is coming up on the standard bar.
The reason I found out for this is, the Programmable key word is not being added to the HKCR\CLSID\GUID\ of my addin in the test machine.
How to resolve this problem!? I want excel to recognise the UDFs i defined in my addin so that it also acts as an automation addin.
Regards.

The Font dropdown in the properties window should show all installed fonts.
It is possible to have font files in the Fonts Directory that have not been installed.
So firstly, make sure that the font you are looking for has been installed. (Open the Fonts Directory in Explorer and right-click, just in case you don't know.)

I have a list that consists of 'customer'-objects. Every 'customer' has a full name, address, email, and phone. Now I want to be able to do a search that lets the user type in information in a form and then perform a search based on the information the user typed in. In the form the user can type in 'first name', 'last name', 'address' and so on.
But how do I compare the information the user types in with the information stored in the 'customer' objects? If the user only types in the 'first name' and 'phone' for example the search must pick out all 'customers' that matches that.
Thanks for help!

So, you go through all your objects, and you match all with the same first name, and phone, if that's what they typed.

Maybe you can modify this a bit to suit your own needs. I am searching on one given string in a text box and pull all data in the DB to a listbox.
private void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FillListBox(textBox1.Text);
}
public void FillListBox(string searchValue)
{
try
{
dataTable.Clear();
DataAdapter =
new OleDbDataAdapter
("Select [PicId], [Path] From [Pics] WHERE PicId = '" +
searchValue + "'", conn);
DataAdapter.Fill(dataTable);
listBox1.DataSource = dataTable;
listBox1.DisplayMember = "Path";
listBox1.ValueMember = "Path";
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString());
}
}
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.

Thanks for your replies.
I came up with a solution that worked well but I don't know if it's optimal:
I search through all the information stored in each customer in the list. If the information in the customer object matches the information the user typed in the textbox the result is stored in a new list. If the information in the search textbox is empty it's also seen as a match. See below:
public int[] SearchCustomers(Customer searchCustomer)
{
//Create list for search results.
searchResult = new List<Customer>();
//Loop through all information in the customer-objects.
searchResult = customers.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchFirstName(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchLastName(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchCity(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchCountry(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchStreet(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchZip(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchCellPhone(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchHomePhone(C, searchCustomer); });
searchResult = searchResult.FindAll(delegate(Customer C) { return SearchEmail(C, searchCustomer); });
The final result is a list containing the matches of all search words.

You can use J# for that, or you need a third party component.
