Re: Dialog opening behavior on a dual monitor system

You don't want to do it in the constructor because you don't want it to maximize until it has been fully created and painted.

Where should I move the call to then?

Try it in the form_load event. I'll toy with it a bit as well as I have dual monitors also.

Databound Textbox and TabControl

7-Oct-05 8:58

Yes, this worked for me: (My second monitor is on the LEFT of the screen... if yours is on the right, you would have to move it to a coord PAST the first monitor)

<code>
private void Form2_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
   this.Left = -458;
   this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}
</code>

I've got a tabcontrol with a number of databound textboxes on a tabpage
(Form1). I've got a button that the user clicks that opens a dialog (Form2)
and does a lookup from a database. The user makes a selection and chooses a
button wired dialog.ok to close the dialog (form2) and populate the fields on the tabcontrol (Form1). It all works except the textboxes don't retain the new data when I tab across to another tab page.

Code To Open Dialog (Form1)=========================

private void btnLmoLookup_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Form2 LmoLookup = new Form2();
LmoLookup.StartPosition = FormStartPosition.CenterParent;
if( LmoLookup.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK )
{
txtBoxDocName.Text = LmoLookup.docFullName;
}
LmoLookup.Dispose();
}

Code To Create Public Variable (Form2)======================

public string docFullName
{
get{return
this.dsExtPhysLookup1.Tables["tblExternalPhysicians"].Rows[this.listBox1.SelectedIndex]["docFullName"].ToString();}
}

string to int in C#?

What is a quick way to cast a string (consisting of a number) into an int variable? Isn't there some quick function build in somewhere?

Re: string to int in C#?

XRaheemX7-Oct-05 7:28

7-Oct-05 7:28

Convert.ToInt32(string);
also Convert.ToInt16(string);

I would look at all of the methods that the Convert class provides, they will all come in handy Smile | :)

checkbox in datagrid

ahager7-Oct-05 7:05

7-Oct-05 7:05

I have a datagird and a checkbox web control within the datagrid, I am trying to step through each datagriditem and detect whether the checkbox is checked or not, however when testing this application, the checkbox always shows unchecked? I have bound the checked property to a column in the datagrid, and added a button shich will execute code to delete all lines whose checkbox is checked. Please Help!

XRaheemX7-Oct-05 7:15

Can you post a code snippet of how you are acquiring this task? It seems to me that once you store the object (CheckBox) in the datagrid all you need to do is simply pull the object back out and read/change its properties.

<code>
foreach(DataGridItem item in DataGrid.Items)
{
   if(item is CheckBox)
   {
     CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)item;
     cb.Checked = true;
   }
}
</code>

This is what I have currently and is not working:

foreach(DataGridItem DataGridItem in DataGrid1.Items)
{
CheckBox Checkbox1 = (CheckBox)DataGridItem.Cells[0].Controls[1];
if(Checkbox1.Checked == true)
{
sCmd2.CommandType=CommandType.Text;
sCmd2.CommandText = "del_merge_segment " + Request.QueryString.Get("iQuoteId") + "," + Request.QueryString.Get("txtLineNumber");
}

XRaheemX7-Oct-05 7:20

7-Oct-05 7:20

I would be careful casting to a checkbox when not first check to make sure it is a checkbox you're looking for. Since you're using DataGridItem.Cells[0].Controls[1] I'm assuming that the checkbox is the second control in the datagriditem. What is the first control? Also, are you saying that Checkbox1.Check is always coming back true? One other thing: Is this a WinForm or a WebForm?

ahager7-Oct-05 7:27

7-Oct-05 7:27

The checkbox is th only control in the datset, I changed .Controls[1] to [0]. This is a webform and when the page runs if a check a checkbox and step through my code the checked property of the box I checked is showing false which is why my delete command is never running. When I run the code now after making the above changes and check a box and then click delete I get an invalid cast exception for the following line of code:

CheckBox Checkbox1 = (CheckBox)DataGridItem.Cells[0].Controls[0];

Is their a better way to do this?

XRaheemX7-Oct-05 7:32

7-Oct-05 7:32

That is a good way to do it, but be sure to check for the checkbox first. Also, since this is a web form, you have to make sure the control posts back to the form. Set the checkbox's property (AutoPostBack = true).

Here is how you check to make sure it is a checkbox BEFORE you cast it so as not to receive any cast errors:

<br />
if(DataGridItem.Cells[0].Controls[0] is CheckBox)<br />
{<br />
   CheckBox Checkbox1 = (CheckBox)DataGridItem.Cells[0].Controls[0];<br />
}<br />

This will make sure that you don't get an invalid cast exception. You may also have to bind the data to the datagrid on Check_Changed event of the checkbox after it posts back. I would try the autopost back first, then if that doesn't work use a DataGrid1.Databind() inside the CheckChenged event of the checkbox.

ahager7-Oct-05 8:00

7-Oct-05 8:00

The autopostback did not work, as my textbox is in a template column in the datagrid, do I perform the following?

private void CheckBox1_CheckedChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DataGrid1.DataBind();
}

The checkbox is still showing as unchecked. Here is my complete code if this helps. Thanks!

Hmm... well you're definately not getting the correct value of checked because it has to post back to the server in order for your code to see the right value. I'm not sure how to get it to post back in this instance, anybody else have any suggestions?

I am very carefull about declaring variables. But in a project i get out of memory exception, generally after close a form i use GC.Collect.

In this project , I connect a Sql Server with a sqlConnection declared as public in a module. Because in every task, i use this connection object. Before task i open that, when i achive the task, i close the connection. can This be cause?

XRaheemX7-Oct-05 6:57

7-Oct-05 6:57

It can be possible that the object is not disposing correctly, but that is pretty rare at least in my experience with c#. Can you possibly provide some code snippets from your form so we can get an idea of how this can be occuring?

        Me.Dispose()<br />
        GC.Collect() : GC.SuppressFinalize(Me)<br />
    End Sub

But i think something is wrong , sometimes all menus on main forms cannot be painted then i get OUT Of Memory Exception..
How can i manage my memory?

Tom Larsen7-Oct-05 7:37

When your UI elements go wacky like this it usually means you are abusing allocation. For instance you released a Menu handle even though its still supposed to be in use.

I would recommend going back to a "clean" codebase. The .Net Framework has managed memory for a reason and you should in almost every case let it do its own management. Without more details on why you need to agressively manage automatically managed resources I am not sure how we can help further.
