Hi folks,
I have a label on my status bar which should change according to whats going on, see this code...
label3.Text = "Opening Log File...";<br />
File_Log = openFileDialog1.FileName;<br />
parse_log(File_Log);<br />
label3.Text = "Ready";
Now for some reason, it will only change the text at the end of parsing the log, so in essence it actually works like this...
File_Log = openFileDialog1.FileName;<br />
parse_log(File_Log);<br />
label3.Text = "Opening Log File...";<br />
label3.Text = "Ready";
Is there any way to ensure that certain actions are done before others so that the label text is chnaged before the rest executes?

The problem is that the GUI won't Refresh until the operation has completed.
You can force repainting with either label3.Refresh() or Application.DoEvents(). The first one will only repaint the label. The second one will also repaint the rest of the GUI if needed. Have in mind that calling these 'too often' will decrease performance.
A clean solution would be to do the parsing in a separate thread and using Invoke on the label to update the GUI.

Thanks, the refresh solution is perfect as its only called every now and then 
Many thanks!

HI,
How should i handle max(particular column) of a table in SQL server.
SqldataReader.executeReader() not handles it i suppose.
can any one help
|
|
|
|
|
If it is only one value you are fetching than you can use ExecuteScalar on the SqlCommand object. But I think ExecuteReader should also work.
|
|
|
|
|
SELECT MAX(MyColumn)<br />
FROM MyTable
You can then use ExecuteScalar() to read the value.

Hi all,
I have a textbox in Form1, where the user of the mentioned program is going to enter his name.
Then I have another Form (Form2) in which I would like to display the name of the user by getting it from Form1.
I am using MDI.
Can I do it? If so, can you help me please!
Thanks a lot for your help

Either make the textbox in form 1 public, or define a property or function that's public to return the entered text. Then in form 2, you will be able to access it via the form 1 object.
If you do not have a reference to the form 1 object in form 2, you won't be able to do that though.

Hello
Let me help you about this public problem.
1.in Form1 go to code view page (press F7)
2.change below definition of textBox1:
private System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox1;
To :
public static System.Windows.Forms.TextBox textBox1;
3.now if you build your project you got some errors as :
...cannot be accessed with an instance reference; ...
and you should change all "this.textBox1" to "Form1.textBox1" like :
this.textBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();
change to :
Form1.textBox1 = new System.Windows.Forms.TextBox();
3.go to Form2 and where you want to access Form1's textBox1 just use this :
MessageBox.Show (Form1.textBox1.Text);
Easy...
mail me if you have problem yet

Why make fields in a class private, why not make them public?[^]

Look up the Model View Controler design pattern. Views should not know about each other. Forms are Views in this case.

Hi All,
I'm creating a multi-threaded application where I'm spawning a new thread from the main thread. I've to execute the child thread once the main thread finishes its execution. I cannot put the code of child thread inline to the main thread as the thread does some work that I do not write code for. Once the main thread finishes doing everything the child thread execution starts.
I was wondering if there is something like Thread.Idle (like Application.Idle) event so that i can start the execution of the new thread. Or is there a better way to accomplish this.
An help will be deeply appreciated
TIA

I can't do that because I do not know when exactly the main thread finishes its execution. I want this to happen automatically...that was my question.

Hello everyone
I am trying to start a windows application at a specified time from a windows service, i am calling
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Filepath),
although the program starts when i saw it in the task manager but it does not show its form. i have also tried
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd", "/c \"" + Filepath + "\"")
but it opens a command window with my application which i dont want to open. is there any other function.

You can start the process, but windows service can't have window. A solution can be window application (form) that appears invisible all the time.
|
|
|
|
|
Basically i want to stop a running application made some changes to it, and then restart it from the service.

I have a datagrid with checkbox column. how can give access to user select only one check box at a time.
|
|
|
|
|
And which kind of application is? windows form or web
|
|
|
|
|
Windows application using C#
|
|
|
|
|
Why do you need to use a check box? This type of functionality should be done with radio buttons.

I’m using a third party ActiveX control in my .NET Application. I manage to handle the callback in unmanaged C++ like this:
class MyCallback : public ICallback<br />
{<br />
…<br />
void OnComplete() {…}<br />
}<br />
<br />
…<br />
MyCallback *callback = new MyCallback();<br />
someobject->SomeFunction("just a string", callback);<br />
The function OnComplete is apart of the ICallback interface.
In C++ the method OnComplete will be called some seconds after SomeFunction has been called.
How do I translate that into C#?
I’ve come this far:
public class MyCallbackSC : ICallback<br />
{<br />
…<br />
void OnComplete() {…}<br />
}<br />
<br />
…<br />
MyCallback callback = new MyCallback();<br />
someobject.SomeFunction("just a string", (object)callback);
My C# program compiles fine but when I got an exception on the codeline above that says: InvalidCastException.
Anyone got any ide how to handle callbacks in C#...?
