As it is internal, it's available in the entire assembly, even from a different namespace.
If you need to use the information in another project in the solution, you get a mutual dependency if you access the settings directly. Instead you should send the needed information when calling the method, or creating the object instance, that needs it.

I believe the cs file in question is machine generated so its no point making changes to that. Why dont you write your own class which can traverse the settings file using the XML namespace.

Hello,
In your CancelButton code (Click event handler), you could set the DialogResult property of the Form to DialogResult.Cancel.
So if the user Closes the Form over the 'X', the Default would be DialogResult.None.
private void CancelButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.DialogResult = DialogResult.Cancel;
this.Close();
}
protected override void OnClosing(CancelEventArgs e)
{
if(this.DialogResult == DialogResult.None)
{
}
else if(this.DialogResult == DialogResult.Cancel)
{
}
base.OnClosing (e);
}
Hope it helps!
All the best,
Martin

OnClosing is th protected virtual method which fires the Closing event in the base Class (System.Windows.Forms.Form).
As you have your Form derived from Forms.Form, you don't have to handle the Event itselfe, you just can override the method.
Like I did!

Hello,
Now you also want DialogResult.Cancel set, if the user closes with 'X'.
Just set it in the Closing or Closed event.

Hi Martin,
I dont think it will work your way. Windows already sets DialogResult to Cancel on
hitting the Close box.
This is why: Microsoft intends the Close Button to be identical to a Cancel
action; closing the dialog or pressing Cancel button both indicate "hey, I dont want this,
I am not interested". It is part of the overall GUI conventions that MS came up with.
And, we have had a difference of opinion on this before: one should not go against
such conventions.

Have you tested it?
I did, with VS2003 .Net1.1!

Really?
Help me with long-term memory, when was that.

Yes.

IIRC it was about changing the behavior of a group of radio buttons; my point was and is
if it looks like standard controls, it should behave like them too.

Ahh, now I remember!

That's also what I think, but I think the point was to modify the behavior in combination with the style.
All the best,

I see three possibilities:
- we have different systems
- there is a misunderstanding somewhere
- one of us is wrong (but who then?)
The last post from the OP seems to hint towards the third possibility, doesnt it ?

If I test following code at my Form, it does what I wrote in the comments of the code:
private void CancelButton_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
this.DialogResult = DialogResult.Cancel;
this.Close();
}
protected override void OnClosing(CancelEventArgs e)
{
if(this.DialogResult == DialogResult.None)
{
}
else if(this.DialogResult == DialogResult.Cancel)
{
}
base.OnClosing (e);
}

It's maybe a lack of self confidence, but I would assume it's me who missed something!

I haven't understood this one!

Hi Martin,
the OP posted: "everytime getting DialogResult as Cancel if i click on X button also"
hence he gets DialogResult.Cancel both for the Cancel button and for the Close Box,
so that does not help him.
Maybe/probably the "Close Box implies Cancel result" only applies to dialogs (forms shown with
ShowDialog) where it matters most, and not to regular forms, shown with Show() ?
If so, you probably did the wrong experiment...

Bingo!
Just tested it!
Luc Pattyn wrote: If so, you probably did the wrong experiment
Did I?
I think he was never speaking of ShowDialog!
But anyway, you found the problem!
Got my '5' for that!
All the best,
Martin

Furthermore, MSDN on Form.DialogResult says:
"clicking the Close button (the button with an X in the top-right corner of the form) causes the form to be hidden and the DialogResult property to be set to DialogResult.Cancel."
It does not say explicitly WHEN it does that, so I guess it is in base.OnClosing (e);
It does say "You can override the value assigned to the DialogResult property when the user clicks the Close button by setting the DialogResult property in an event handler for the Closing event of the form"
So I guess the base.OnClosing() does something like
if (DialogResult==None) DialogResult=Cancel
and hence your tip does not work, whereas setting it to something else
such as DialogResult=Yes; would work
(but it would then violate the GUI conventions, as I keep telling you).

As it is only the case with ShowDialog and not with Show() and I tested it with show, I think it's not my fault.
I wouldn't have given such a suggestion if I knew that fact!

And that's how we keep learning things every day.
"I think it's not my fault" Right, we all have a partial view on the whole thing,
every statement needs a lot of ifs and whens.
And the next question probably will be: when I hit the escape key, I want my form/dialog to
close, and I want to discriminate all three (ESC/CancelButton/CloseBox) ???

Indeed, they are the experts as to f*cking up a GUI.
Think thats part of their business model.

Hi all,
I have created a Page on which i want the user to be able to download files,
I want to display the name of the files and when the user clicks on the file name the save File dialog should be displayed so that the user can select the location of the file where it has to be saved.
Any sample code or links regarding this will be appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Pramod

The anchor tag will do this for you, depending. Where do the files live ? Are they on the server, or in the database ?
