You should draw in your paint event. You should not share the graphics object between threads. You should use threading to do things like calculate the positions of objects, so that your main thread is always free to just maintain the drawing operations.

I see what you're saying, I'll try doing so.
I think I'll make a queue with a type I'll make for drawing and change the methods to instead of drawing,
sending it to the queue.
Thanks.

Sounds like a plan. Now, if you're game is not super simple, you may still have drawing issues. I believe the XNA framework exists to help people write games easily, uing DirectX. May be worth a look.

Yeah I told myself after I got the errors that GDI+ probably wasn't ment to be for this rather than building UIs.
After building a queue I'm still getting problems because it's too much drawings and the loop isn't fast enough to handle the queue which makes it stuck.
So I think I'm just gonna make a big loop that does everything one at a time and get it over with. Next game will be with DirectX or XNA 
Thanks for all the help.

Threading just adds overhead and complexity for something like that.
There is mainly two things going on in your game:
1. Calculating how everyting is moving.
2. Draw it on the screen.
As #2 depends on the result of #1, there isn't really any reason to do these in separate threads. They would just be waiting for each other.
If you split up the work of #1 into a separate thread for each object that you display, it gets even worse. You need to synchronise each object, as you need to access the position of some object from other objects in order to detect collision, and you get a very complex model for something that is otherwise rather simple.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

Hi everybody
I have a problem for open large file in C#.
While I want to open file with 100 MByte size(for example) and read its contents and show in the TextBox, program hanged.
If you know any solution about mentioned matter, I will become very happy for your assistance.
Thank you
Best Regards,
Reza Shojaee

That is way too much data to display in a TextBox. You need to rethink how you want to display the data. It's not possible to see more than a few kilobytes worth of text on the screen at once anyway.

You can read the file in another thread, this way your GUI should stay respondent. But I still wouldn't read it completely into memory, you will run into OutOfMemoryExceptions rather quickly. I'd suggest to read smaller chunks of the file as needed.

A) It's only 100mb. He shouldn't be running out of memory.
B) When memory fills up, Windows pages to disk. He shouldn't be running out of memory.

Then I don't understand your question.
What is the problem exactly? What error message do you get?

A string can theoretically only hold 2,147,483,647 characters. However, on a 32-bit OS, you never have that much contiguous memory available, so you'll probably never be able to create a string that large. Beyond that, no single array or structure can contain more than 1 billion items.
If you're running a 64-bit OS, you will realize larger strings, but you still might not be able to allocate their full size unless you have 4-8gb of RAM.
So, your problem is fragmented memory. With .Net, I'm not sure there's much you can do about it beyond allocating the string at program startup and hope you have enough unfragmented memory at that point. I would also use a StringBuilder object instead of a string because the constructor for a StringBuilder allows you to specify the size of the object, and you can put a try/catch block around the constructor call to make sure the framework didn't have any allocation problems.

Hi my friend
I think my problem with StreamReader solved
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("c:\\1.psd");<br />
string line;<br />
<br />
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
thank you for your helping
Best Regards,

Also you can use this :
List<string> list = new List<string>();
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(openFileDialog1.FileName))
{
while (sr.Peek() >= 0)
list.Add(sr.ReadLine());
}
|
|
|
|
|
Or simply:
string[] list = File.ReadAllLines(openFileDialog1.FileName);

You rarely need to have an entire file in memory all at once; what are you trying to do?

Hello.
I always wanted to knew that, is possible to create WinForm into the HTML tags.
this means that in our WinForm we use HTML tags to create buttons, menu, text Box, ....
Is it possible ?
Thanks in advance

No. However, if you want to use XAML instead you can do that with WPF.

|
|
|
|
You can put a web browser control on your page and point it to local HTML. Not sure why you'd want to tho, HTML is not as rich as winforms
