Add link to exe file into Windows menu "Programs\StartUp" or
add key MyProgram = "c:\MyProgram\MyProgramm.exe" into registry path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
(if you need to run program once add to path "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce")

The best way would be to get a book. And get a C# 2.0 book!

Updating ListView with Thread (+ extra thread questions)

Skoder11-Apr-06 16:10

Hello,

i am trying to keep updating a coloum for each ListViewItem in a ListView.

I though i could just do this by a thread that kept updating every 10 secound but i can see that it is only possible to update / change / work with the ListView from the Thread that originally created it.

Soo how can i achieve what i want ?

Should the thread which updates the ListView instead maybe call a method like Invoke(TheMethod) every 10 seconds, or how should it be done ?

Other Questions about Threads:

I seem to get into 2 usuall problems.

1. I only want 1 thread to be able to be created and working on a method. I usually solve this by declaring the Thread thread globally within the class, soo before i create the Thread i check if thread == null ( create thread ), and in the code which the thread is running i then set thread == null when it exit.

Is this okay ? or are there some smarter way to do it ? maybe some build in type / object or something ?

2. I only want 1 thread a time to run some code. Usually i solve this by declaring an Object threadLock globally within the class, soo i can just do lock(threadLock) { THE CODE HERE }.

Any better way of doing that ?

Best regards

That's one way to do it. If all the thread does is refresh the listview, you could use the System.Windows.Forms.Timer[^] class instead.

You could use the IsAlive[^] property.

That looks fine.

One reason could be that it's blocking the calling thread while it's working without any progress update.

Try using StreamReader, StreamWriter classes in namespace System.IO.

In framework 2.0 you can use the function ReadAllBytes and WriteAllBytes in namespace File.

As alexey_n already suggested, you can use StreamReader/Writer.
You create a byte[] buffer and fill it with data from the source file. Then you write the buffer to the target stream.
Repeat as long as the source stream hasn't reached its end.

Btw. if you really want a replacement for Copy, do not forget to set the file properties (modification date for example) after copying the content. The FileInfo class has what you need for this task.

Adding Controls

rahultaing11-Apr-06 15:03

11-Apr-06 15:03

Can anyone tell me how do I add a .Net FCL Control to my C# project.

The problem that I am getting is that I have made a control in C# by selecting the project type as "Windows Control Library", In this project I am using just a Listbox and I have not made this project as a Component.

Then I make another C# project and on its toolbar I select "Choose Item" by right clicking my mouse button. On that I see a window which shows a list of .Net Framework Class Library Components and COM components, but since my project is not a Component I don't see my control in that list.

After that I tried adding the dll of my control in the references folder of my Client project, I was able to add that dll as a reference but the problem is that since my control is a visible control, I would like to see the Listbox which this control contains, whenever I use the control in my project.

I want my Control to appear on the tolbox of my client project, I was unable to do that?I was able to implement a class as a component, and use it as a control in my client, this worked perfectly fine and I saw my Class control on the toolbox of my C# client after I selected Choose
Item on the toolbox.

Please let me know what should I do regarding this issue?

Did you try browsing and selecting your dll after right clicking on the ToolBox and selecting Choose Item? That should work.
