Hello,

The 'kernel32.dll' funktion 'SetLocalTime' will help you.

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.StructLayoutAttribute(System.Runtime.InteropServices.LayoutKind.Sequential)]
    public struct SystemTime
{
    public short sYear;
    public short sMonth;
    public short sDayOfWeek;
    public short sDay;
    public short sHour;
    public short sMinute;
    public short sSecond;
    public short sMilliSeconds;
}

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("kernel32.dll")]
public static extern bool SetLocalTime(ref SystemTime time);

Hope it helps!

All the best,

Martin

Thread.Sleep(3600000) is much simpler.

I doubt that is a good idea.

You might want to spend some time thinking about how best to anchor your controls.

Anchoring a control that sits at the top left of the form in all directions will just make it expand when the screen size increases - You probably don't want that to expand in all directions. You probably only want it to stay in position relative to the top left of the form.

You might decide that a text box is something that would be more useful if it stretched width-wise. In that case anchor it to the left and right. And controls to the right of the text box should be anchored to the right, but not the left.

In short, think about what anchoring actually does. There is no one-size-fits-all to apply to all controls. You actually have to think about how you want the form laid out.

That's not how it's done. You just drag n drop and click a bunch-o-stuff until "it works"

If it works, do it.

If it works, ~~do it~~ it works.

      seems to                 probably

and once you go beyond a very basic layout and want something like a proportional split between two elements instead of having one fixed and the other doing the resizing you have to start writing some manual code in the onResize event anyway. D'Oh! | :doh:

String to Enum...

Malcolm Smart9-Aug-07 3:02

I read in configs from XML and one element is converted to an ENUM

enum SOURCETYPE
{
   XML,
   SQL
}<pre>

//all error checking removed (for a laugh)
//other bits removed but you'll get the idea

SOURCETYPE _myType;

string myString = myXmlNode.Attributes.GetNamedItem("type").Value;

switch (myString.TrimEnd().ToUpper())
{
case "SQL":
_myType = SOURCETYPE.SQL;
break;
case "XML":
_myType = SOURCETYPE.XML;
break;
}

Is there a better / quicker / more CSharpish way of doing this? If I had loads of types it would be a big case statement to change "TYPE" to SOURCETYPE.TYPE.

Hello,

If you add the bitmap to the BackGroundImage property of your PictureBox (or Form), you could use the MakeTransparent method of Bitmap class, like this.

Bitmap YourBmp = new Bitmap(yourFormOrPictureBox.BackgroundImage);
YourBmp.MakeTransparent(YourBmp.GetPixel(0,0)); //Get's the Color of Pixel with position (0,0) and make this Color Tranparent
yourFormOrPictureBox.BackgroundImage = YourBmp;
