The BackgroundImage property has been a part of every control since .NET 1.0, so I am sure it exists in yours! Are you sure you have a form, not a console application? Can you open the designer view on it? If so, then check the properties are listed A-Z and that you aren't viewing the events. If really desparate, try using intellisense and check it programatically:
frmMine fm = new frmMine();
fm.BackgroundImage = @"C:\Pic.jpg";
If this comes up with errors, then paste your code here, with the error message.

For Setting the background image of your form
YourFormNAme.BackGroundImage = YOUR-Application-NameSpace.Properties.Resources.YOUR-Resource-Name;

Hi All,
I am using Visual Studio 2005, .Net 2.0. In my application, i am using more number of Designer Host instances, So when i am using more than 36 instances of Designer Host, i cant able to resize the controls. If the number of instances of Designer Host is less than equal to 36 , then it is working fine.
Below is the link of an example given by the microsoft. It is also giving the same problem when adding more than 36 forms(i.e. Designer Host Form).
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163634.aspx
Can anyone please give me a solution.
Thanks & Regards,
Vaira Muthu.

We are working on a .net application that would require to update the inventory tables of Peoplesoft database. What is the best way to do this, i.e, to update the inventory tables of Peoplesoft by an external application?

You asked it twice yesterday and you've started asking it again today. The question is, what does it have to do with C#?! Even though your application is on .NET, your query has something to do with some third party stuff.
You will need to read the Peoplesoft API manual and/or go and ask it in one of their forums. There is no point in reposting this stuff every day here.

Sounds trivial to me. What have you done so far ?

Hi,
Using a thread and a while(true) is the best way? or is there any method that isn't consuming cpu on the background every iteration?
DateTime nextCheck = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds( t );
while (true)
{
if (DateTime.Now > nextCheck)
{
nextCheck.AddSeconds( t );
do the thing...
}
}

Hi,
this is a very bad idea.
Assume nextCheck has not been reached yet, then the while(true) loop is basically empty, and spinning all the time, keeping an entire core occupied. Watch the Task Manager"performance" pane: it will show 100% CPU if your system is single-core, 50% when dual-core, etc. So that is a big waste.
There is an easy fix: make sure some time elapses for free, no matter what path is taken inside the loop; i.e. when the test fails do a Thread.Sleep(x); where larger x values are less expensive, however they may decrease the accuracy of the kick-in moment. So probably 333*t is a good value, it makes you loop three times with typically two fails and one hit.

mhmm Didnt get the 333*t part,
Is this okey?
DateTime nextCheck = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds( t );
while (true)
{
if (DateTime.Now > nextCheck)
{
nextCheck.AddSeconds( t );
do the thing...
}
else { Thread.Sleep( nextCheck - DateTime.Now ); }
}
Another question,
If it gets to the part of "Thread.Sleep", I'm 100% sure the current thread is itself ? I guess so because if its reading that line... right?

Hi,
1.
your snippet is acceptable under most circumstances. The one problem with it is this: let us assume we are in the else part, just finished the subtraction, and are going to launch the sleep; suddenly the system decides to switch threads because something higher-priority kicked in; after three seconds, the higher-priority thing is back, and your thread now goes to sleep voluntarily, for a timespan that is of by three seconds. Bad luck.
When you have a fixed sleep as in <thread.sleep(333*t)< code=""> your thread will try and loop once every 333 msec (assuming t=1), or 666 msec (for t=2), etc. so effectively for a repeat of t seconds it will try three times, failing two and succeeding one. The 333 stems from 1000 milliseconds per second, and 3 short sleeps for 1 activation of the "do the thing".
2.
yes Thread.Sleep() is always executed by the thread that executes it, just like "I am myself" and "it now is today". All always true.

That is really bad code! It just lurks around iterating like crazy asking "HAS THE TIME COME? HAS THE TIME COME?" and does it NON-STOP! That's rude and possibly one of the worst ways to do it.
Can the thread not sleep for t seconds for every iteration instead? Or use a timer?

What's wrong with a timer ?

.NET provides 3 different timer classes that can execute a method on regular intervals.
You can look here[^] for a start.

Hi,
I experienced something really weird today. First, some context: Im trying to retreive list of files from .csproj file (visual studio project). I found that file list is at this path: Project/ItemGroup/Compile. So I loaded the file into xml document and queried nodes by SelectNodes method. Nothing special. But... When I call something like this:
doc.SelectNodes("/Project/ItemGroup/Compile")
then no nodes are returned. Call like this:
doc.SelectNodes("/*[name()='Project']/*[name()='ItemGroup']/*[name()='Compile']")
works and returns expected result!
And nothing special in xml, looks like this:
<ItemGroup>
<Compile Include="****" />
</ItemGroup>
Does anybody have an idea whats happening?
