Cliff,
I had stumbled on to this solution just as you replyed. Thanks, this as somewhat the effect i am after.
However, this still allows interaction to the parent form while the child form is visible and does not have focus (ie. i can access menu items). Is there anyway to prevent the user from access items on the parent form?
With ShowDialog(), if you were to try and bring the parent form into focus, the parent never get focus and the user can not interact with it. I suspect that this may be because ShowDialog() is blocking the parent form. Is there a way to duplicate this behavior with Show()?

Handle the event of focus of your parent form and then check if the child form is still alive. If so then cancel the current event and focus child else call base function for default focus behaviour.

I suppose you could disable the parent form.
Alternatively, you could receive the data in a separate thread that passes it on via a delegate. When you create the child form, you change the delegate to the child, setting it back in Form.Closed.

Hi,
I upgraded my C# Windows form application project to Visual Studio 2005 and now my Deployment project no longer works correctly. From the administrator account I can install my windows application w/ no errors and I can run the program from the desktop shortcut w/ no errors. However, when one of the normal users logs on and trys to start my application by double-clicking the desktop shortcut, the following error occurs:
An installation package for the product AMCAT cannot be found. Try the installation again using a valid copy of the installation package "SetupAndInstallAMCAT.msi".
Note: AMCAT is the name of my Windows application.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Terri

I am a begginer in C# programming. I am trying to run a simple program made on C# but unable to see the output using messagebox control. i run the code and on form load, it should display a message "Sucessful". Everytime I run the program, it displays an error message "Form1.cs(82): The type or namespace name 'textbox1' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)".
Please help me in interstanding the error message and debugging it.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mini

That error is telling you that you're trying to use Textbox incorrectly. Have you consulted the MSDN yet? (http://www.msdn.com) ...Whenever you run into a problem like that, the first place you're going to want to look is the MSDN. ...Now to answer your question, look up at your "using" statements at the top of your .cs file . If "using System.Windows.Forms" is not there, then you need to add it. (That's what it meant when it said
Form1.cs(82): The type or namespace name 'textbox1' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
if that doesn't work, then you might want to consult the MSDN and look up "Textbox" with a C# language filter. It will bring up all the information that you would need to learn how Textboxes are used in C#

Very Very Thanks for your help Alaric.

You can get help for the errors directly in VS. Just select the error in the error list and press F1.
In your case I guess you've simply made a typo: Is the TextBox object you want to access really called "textbox1"? C# is case sensitive, so textbox1 is different from textBox1...

Hello -
I am working with a datagrid in a Windows application that has a bool column with checkboxes. For certain rows, I want to add functionality to make the checkbox disappear depending on the value of another column.
First things first, i cannot make a selective cell invisible for the life of me. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have seen some posts about this for ASP.NET but nothing for windows forms.
Thanks,
Eric

there is no such direct function or property to disable or to make a cell invisible.you have to handle this task programmatically.chek your condition on grid click event or at valuechange event

Thanks for the reply Sameer.
I know there is not direct function or property and that this would have to be handled programmatically...however, I am even having problems doing this through any event or Paint/Edit override. If you have an example of how to do it, please forward on.

Hi,
I've developed a .net 2.0 application and am now testing it on different computers. This usually works fine, but on some of the newest computers (core 2 duo laptops from Dell) the program just seems to randomly pop-up an error message saying that my "application has encountered an error and needs to be closed". It doesn't say what kind of error was encountered, and when I drag away the window I can continue to use my program just fine. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Just a guess, but I would suspect that your program is multithreaded, and you have a bug accessing some shared structure (e.g. enumerating a collection). Your prorgam keeps running because only a background thread has faulted. There should be a Dr. Watson dump somewhere that might yield some clues...
The flaw shows up on core duos because you have two processors, so simultaneous access by different processors to the same data can happen...
|
|

|

Yep, it is multithreaded, and the program shows this error when I start using just about all of the thread pool threads available (30+). So this might well be the problem. I've seen the Dr Watson dump but can't find any usefull info in it, could you point me where to look? I can post the dump if you want. Do you think I might be allright if I declare all variables I use as "volatile"?
Thanks for the help so far!

declareing the variables as volatile will just insure the compiler doesn't optimize their use in loops in a way that might cause strange problems, but it is a good idea for shared variuables (paricularly things like a boolean used to stop one thread from another thread). It won't however prenent things likje one tread incrementing a variable will another thread is doing the same thing (causing, for instance, code to attempt to access beyond the end of an array or collection). For that you nead to use locks to force one thread at a time access. Any collections or arrays that are shared across threads should be protected by locking before making changes, collections should be the synchronized variation and be accessed by locking code.
This article[^] has some good explanations, tips and links to further resources.

Thanks very very much, I've been trying to figure this out all day. I thought volatile implied putting a lock statement on each variable, that's where I went wrong. Locking the variables manually seems to have solved the issue, thanks again.

are you using COM in your application.If Yes then check for their Version.it might create some Version problem.

No, I'm not using COM, but thanks for the help anyway!

Hi all,
In other languages we can use the term "parent" for referencing a member of a parent class. C# doesn't have it. In the following code, I post an example of this question.
using System;
namespace NS
{
public class A
{
public static void Main() {
B b = new B();
C c = new C();
c.mc();
}
}
public class B
{
public void mb() {
Console.WriteLine("I'm in class B");
Console.Read();
}
}
public class C
{
public void mc() {
}
}
}
Any idea to do it?
Let the life to be fluent in you. SER

You have not told the compiler how the classes related to each other.
grivix wrote: // How do you call from here // the method mb() of the class B ?
As you have writtent the code, you don't. Instances of class B and C are not fields of class A so there is no parent/child relationship, the reference to B and C will go out of scope at the end of the static Main() method.
Make the b and c fields of class A. Move the Main() method to its own Program class because it seems out of place in A. (I don't know what A is supposed to do, but I'd say with 99.99% certainty the Main() method does not belong there).
Somewhere in class A you can construct b and c with a reference to this. Classes B and C have a field of type A. In the constructors of B and C you can now store the reference to the parent (A) as it was passed in to the constructor.
Now, in the method mc() you can reference A (the parent) which can reference B.
I'll leave the question of encapsulation and information hiding as an exercise to you (because you generally shouldn't be using public fields)
Does this help?

pay attention to everything Colin said, and then remember that in C# the class that is inherited from is called the "base" class, not the "parent" class. The "parent/child" relationship is a design-level description of the flow of data, whereas the actual implementation is not "parent/child" but "base/derived"
...whenever you get the kinks worked out of your logic, remember that when you are wanting to call an appropriate method in the base class, you reference it as "base.Method();"
