Is this code in Form1 itself?

in which case you should have

this.btn_start.Visible = true;

The button has to be declared "public" (or "internal" if you are in the same project and dont want other projects to be able to do the same). And this should work:

Form1 f = new Form1();<br />
if (blargh == verc)<br />
{<br />
     f.btn_Start.Visible = true;<br />
     f.btn_Patcher.Visible = false;<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
     f.btn_Start.Visible = false;<br />
     f.btn_Patcher.Visible = true;<br />
}<br />
f.Show(); // or f.ShowDialog();

That way *has* to work. You probably have some code that changes the visibility during the Load event or something. Or maybe you are using a different button implementation that has a bug.

You can try another way. Pass the value to the Form and then handle the Load event and do what you need.

Plz... gimme me some ideas or suggestions on how to implement tht...

You have the values. Now just loop and use DrawLine(); Based on the value calculate so that you have a different line height. Increase your X value and continue for the next value.

If this doesn't work for you - you might end up having to use SetPixel method.

Hello all,

Tell me, what is Resource Gloablization? and how is it work? Give me example to it.

Globalization refers to making your application usable in other languages.

You can start by setting the Localizable property of your Form to true, and selecting a value for Language. Behind the scenes VS.NET create resource files for each language. These resource files have all the values that you set for the language. The culture-specific resource files are commonly packaged in satellite assemblies for each culture.

For more information see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemresourcesresourcemanagerclasstopic.asp[^] and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemresourcesresourcemanagerclassgetstringtopic.asp[^].

Database access error

Hi All,

I am connecting to a SQL 2000 Server database by using a datareader.

I am getting this error.

An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in system.data.dll

Additional information: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

1. How can I lengthen the time out on my connection?
2. How can I make sure there are no connections and that all connections are released by me and returned to the pool?

Thanks for any help.

1.) Look at this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemdatasqlclientsqlconnectionclassconnectiontimeouttopic.asp[^]

2.) The following code ensures that the connection is disposed properly. Also if you have a transaction open and something goes bad the rollback is ensured. Smile | :)

using(SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection())<br />
{<br />
  con.Open();<br />
  // Do work here<br />

C# interop with type System.__ComObject?

vista2715-Oct-04 15:01

15-Oct-04 15:01

is there anything special that needs to be done when interopping with objects of type System.__ComObject? without good docs, how do you know what to cast to if all u got is a C# type object?

Re: C# interop with type System.__ComObject?

Heath Stewart15-Oct-04 15:50

It greatly depends on what you're doing. All types (doesn't matter which language, BTW) are IDispatch implementations unless you expose an interface differently using different enums for either the InterfaceTypeAttribute<?code> (for interfaces) or <code>ClassInterfaceAttribute (auto-generated class interface; never use auto-generated class interfaces, though).

When you cast an object to a COM-defined interface (attributed with ComImportAttribute) a QueryInterface is actually performed using the interface to which you're trying to cast. This means you have to have some idea of what you're trying to cast, otherwise you can either cast it as IDispatch (if it's a dispatch object) or - at the very least - IUnknown, which honestly gives you anything useful.

As I've told many people, understanding COM interop with .NET well requires that you understand COM well. I would recommend picking up a book on COM programming, as well as a book on COM interop if you need further explanation.

There's also several good articles here on this site that explain bits and pieces, but the bigger pictures requires a deeper understanding of just how COM works and how .NET interop works with (and for) COM.

Posting a File on a Form

Hello,
I am trying to output a txt file to a Windows form in C# of course. I have coded how to read the file, that is not a problem anymore. And I can outpout it to the console. But I have been unsuccessful on how to output it on a Form instead of a console.
Can anyone help please?

Add a control (such as the Label or TextBox) to the form and set its Text property to the contents of the file.

Thank you Alvaro for your response,
I am writing a program that reads records from a file of type txt containing stuffs like item name, quantity and prices. The first step is to simply read the file and output its containt on a windows form. The second step will be to compute the total cost of each item and post it the results on the form. I guess I have figured out how to do this second part ( well, i guess). But I am stuck on the first step.
This is what I have:
I have the class, reading the txt file, called PartFile. This class contains this function that is supposed to read the file (maybe typecast everything to string) and sent it to the Form.

public void ReadFile()
{
string line;
StreamReader file = new StreamReader("MyFile.txt");
while((line = file.ReadLine()) !=null)
//Console.WriteLine(line); ///commented out because I want to write the file to a Form, not Console
file.Close();
}

While reading my C# book I read about a ToString function, how can I implemente it here to read the file as strings?
Is that how I should code this function, is there anything I should do? how should I do it? Please, help me think through this.I got a brain storm now....can't find a way to get to the next level that I feel i can pretty much do. I just need to be able to read the file and post it to a form. I kind feel like i can move forward on my own (maybe) right after.
Thank, and i hope someone will help... Thank you Alvaro

Do this instead:

StreamReader file = new StreamReader("MyFile.txt");<br />
string contents = file.ReadToEnd();<br />
file.Close();

That's it, now you have the whole contents of the file in one string. Add a Label control to your form and do:

label.Text = contents;

Alvaro

.NET Remoting Reference

I have a class Client (client.cs) that is serializable and a class RemoteMethods (MarshalByRefObject) with a method public static Client getClient(int clientID). Ok... now the question... how to add a "remote" reference to Client class. I want to access this class without need to have the Client's dll on my client side I want to access this referencing it on another machine... This is possible?

If you are trying to reference something in the client assembly from the server assembly your design is not right. That class must be in the shared assembly.

15-Oct-04 10:20

OK. That's more like it. Smile | :)

What you do is you create a library that has that class you want to use in both the client and the server. You then add a reference to the library in both the server and the client.

Another thing. If you want to have the implementation for the code hidden you can create an interface that matches the code (its a good practice to come up with the interface before hand Smile | :)

) and put the interface in the shared library.

Thanks Alex... This is what I want to know but not what I want to read. I'm doing like you said and I was hopeful to find another way... like webservice... you just add a web reference and all those classes can be found by vs.net ...

Thanks again...
