What are the things you are doing when the form is loading? Is it possible to move some of that to another thread?
You can also use a splash screen and display the form only when all the operations are done.

Only initialize 20 controls, in which a circle is drawed.
I try to delete background image, the form shows more quickly.
So , it must the background image's problem.
I am trying your solution,
thanks very much.

I wonder if you are shrinking the image to fit, or should I say, .Net is shrinking it to fit.
Check the actual size of the image and resize it to no larger than your form.
You could also try some of the tricks from the html world, for example if you are aiming for a gradient fill, use a 1 pixel wide image and stretch it.

Thanks for your reply.
I donot shrink this image. but I only set the image as the background image of the form, perhaps this form's size is not equals to this image's size, when OnPaint it need use much time to let the image size to fix the form's size?
I put many control in the forms, such as panle. I set these control's backcolor as transparent.
Does the backcolor's transparent cost much time?

20 controls should not slow things drastically down. As the other reply mentions, check the image size and resize it to your needs.
The type of file also matters. A bitmap file will be of a way more size (Bytes) than a same sized (dimension) JPG or JPEG.

The image is about 30kB in JPEG format, I will try to minish its size.

You should read the sticky post "How to get an answer to your question".
In the Main method or in the main form's load event, check the processes running. If it contains your application, exit and display a message that application is already running.

i'm trying to understand the usage of settings.setting file, it says u can only change user scoped data at runtime and application scoped data cannot be changed at runtime, to modify the application scope data i have to use the assembly.exe.cofig file . but in my application it isn't there . how can i create it

Hi,
You can right-click on your project (from the solution explorer) and choose Add-->New Item and select Application Configuration File from the dialog box that pops up and click OK. This will add an App.Config file to your project. This will be automatically renamed to Assembly.exe.config when you run your application.
You can use the same XML data as given in the link to the post that d@nish had posted.
Also, if you use
string test1 = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Key1"];
in your code, the VS compiler might throw a warning that this is deprecated.
To get through that warning, Add reference to System.Configuration component in your project and use :
string test1 = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["key1"];
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ram

I would like to make a small C # application with the overlay video. Can someone help me with a small example?
Thank you!

An event calls method A in some cases and method B in others.
Both A and B return a string.
The event handler returns void.
How do I write the return value from the right method to a textbox in my main Window?
|
|
|
|
|
What event? Where is it called from? It would help if you showed something a little more concrete.
public void SomeEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(whatever)
textbox1.Text = MethodA();
else
textbox1.Text = MethodB();
}

Thank you for your fast reply.
Ok here's some code. I'm still learning so you may find this utterly simple 
In my main window the event gets called:
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
BallEventArgs bEventArgs = new BallEventArgs(Convert.ToInt16(textBox1.Text), Convert.ToInt16(textBox2.Text));
ball.OnBallInPlay(bEventArgs);
}
Then there's e.g. a pitcher class that subscribes to the ball event being raised
public Fan(Ball b)
{
b.BallInPlay += new EventHandler(b_BallInPlay);
}
void b_BallInPlay(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (e is BallEventArgs)
{
BallEventArgs bea = e as BallEventArgs;
if (bea.Distance > 400 && bea.Trajectory >30)
{
Homerun();
}
else
{
Cheer();
}
}
Both Homerun and Cheer return a string. It 's that string that I want to display in a textbox called tbOutput in my Window1.
My problem: I can't seem to access the tbOutput textbox from the Homerun and Cheer methods, because tbOutput is private in Window1.
I don't have a clue...

You should really have asked this in the WPF forum, as WPF experts are more likely to see it there. Anyway, the simple thing to do here is to have a public property that raises a PropertyChanged event (in other words, the class implements the INotifyPropertyChanged interface). Set the DataContext of your view to this instance, and then bind the Text property of your textbox to the property. That should see you done (strictly speaking, you should look into MVVM for this, but that might be too much for you right now)."WPF has many lovers. It's a veritable porn star!" - Josh Smith As Braveheart once said, "You can take our freedom but you'll never take our Hobnobs!" - Martin Hughes.

I see no reason for the BallInPlay event. An event is used when you want to be notified by the object that something has happened (Observer pattern). In this case it appears all you want to do is check a result, so just call a method.
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
Pitcher p = new Pitcher();
textbox.text = p.BallInPlay(Convert.ToInt16(textBox1.Text),
Convert.ToInt16 (textBox2.Text));
}
public class Pitcher
{
public string BallInPlay(int distance, int tragetroy)
{
if (distance > 400 && trajectory > 30)
{
return Homerun();
}
else
{
return Cheer();
}
}
}

Hi,
How can I check if 5 minutes have passed with the datetime object?
I've tried a few things, but none of them worked for me.
Thanks in advance!
|
|
|
|
|
How do you do it as a human being, without computer? Substitute wrist watch for System.DateTime.Now
|
|
|
|
|
I know how... But obviously, I'm doing something wrong.
So I thought another developer could help me out here...
|
|
|
|
|
If you know how to do it, and have tried to get something working, but failed, then tell us about it, describe the concept and implementation, give precise symptoms, and show code if and as needed. Such are the rules of these forums.

I pass 5 min to this function:
DateTime lastTimeCommandWasUsed = DateTime.MaxValue;
private bool AtLeastXMinutesHavePassed(int xMinutes)
{
DateTime currentTime = DateTime.Now;
bool allowUse = false;
if (lastTimeCommandWasUsed == DateTime.MaxValue)
{
allowUse = true;
}
else
{
TimeSpan elapsedTime = currentTime - lastTimeCommandWasUsed;
allowUse = elapsedTime.TotalMinutes > xMinutes;
}
if (allowUse)
{
lastTimeCommandWasUsed = currentTime;
return true;
}
return false;
}
And it returns very fast 'false'. After debugging it, it seems to check for seconds instead of minutes.
Can't figure out what is going wrong.
