Long variable names break your code! 
Seriously though, you should use the return value of ShowDialog to decide whether to re-show the form. (Set the result by putting DialogResult properties on the buttons.) Closing it from within resultsWindow will result in the behaviour that you describe because that will happen before ShowDialog returns, so when you call Show, resultWindow has already killed the form. Pulling the rug out from underneath an executing form like that is rude.

This is the code I used in the resultsWindow:
private void cmdClose_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SearchCriteria sc = (SearchCriteria)Application.OpenForms["SearchCriteria"];
sc.Close();
SearchCriteria.impDS.Dispose();
this.Close();
}
This is the code from the previous project:
SearchInput si = (SearchInput)Application.OpenForms["SearchInput"];
si.Close();
SearchInput.ds1.Dispose();
this.Close();
So you can see I do the exact same thing and the other code works fine without checking. I agree that there are better ways. Thanks for pointing out checking what ShowDialog returns. I'll look into doing that.

I didn't mean to be rude. 
I have nothing more to say.

If the behaviour is different, then there "must" be a difference. The check on "this" implies that "this" might be disposed, before the dialog is closed. Are you calling an explicit dispose on that particular form somewhere?

I will not argue with that! I just can't find it! 
I don't think I'm calling a Dispose anywhere else. I'll look into that! What I said I'm doing in the first post is working and working correctly. So I'm not worried, but considering how I am, I would like to find out why!
I have nothing more to say.

when closing a Form, its survival depends on whether it was shown by calling Show() or ShowDialog(). Maybe that explains the difference you're seeing.

by writing efficient code, not having blocking calls in GUI event handlers, and keeping form complexity reasonable.
you'll have to provide a lot more information to get effective detailed help.

I think use Control.SuspendLayout() and Control.ResumeLayout() to surround your "fill" code will help.

You beat me to it, great answer.

One other thing to try is to have readily instantiated controls at hand positioning them dynamically as needed filling them with data and the making them visible.
Just a thought.
Cheers!

You can try using virtual mode:

At my previous company it was a requirement for DataGridView's due to performance reasons.

Is there any better way in c# to check items in a collection contains common property
besides looping through with a flag and finding out?
say for example, a text item collection contains fontweight bold for all text item

Not really. You may be able to do it with Linq, but how to do that will depend on the items you are talking about.

Add a break:
textBold.Checked = true;
foreach (Item item in Items)
{
if (item.FontWeight == FontWeights.Normal)
{
textBold.Checked = false;
break;
}
}As I said, you could do it with Linq:
int normal = Items.Count(item => item.FontWeight == FontWeights.Normal);

thanks a lot.
implemented by storing the item properties in a list
and list.contains(FontWeights.Normal). it worked.

Now the solution doesn't make much sense because you've removed a link in the chain. Other people might have found this useful, but you've made it hard for them.
Never, ever, remove a message that's been replied to.

I agree, however IMO you're asking the wrong person. It is Chris who simply shouldn't present a "Delete" widget for messages that have replies. I have asked him many times, he eventually fixed half of it (the top level message).

I know. I was going to post a request and then thought, what's the point - it's been asked for before and still isn't here.

|
|

I've asked for it on Q&A as well a few times - it really annoys me when you answer a question and it gets deleted because they (presumably) don't want the answer to help anyone else...

I remember some sites where it was expected to remove a problem once it got solved.
CP however doesn't expect that; it does offer a "Delete" widget, and when used, you're bound to get "don't do that" comments. Pretty confusing if you ask me.

Yes, and I have no problem with it's existence. If you post a stupid question, and that makes you realise just how dumb you have been, then deleting it before anyone notices or answers is fine by me.
But, when it is a complicated answer that can take half an hour to get right, and the OP deletes it as soon as he reads it, that does annoy me, I admit.
If nothing else, it doesn't appear in any list I can access to copy it or refer anyone else to next time...
