WARNING: all the schemes that have been mentioned to you do not prevent the app from launching a second or third time; all they do is try and make the app terminate pretty soon if it isn't the first instance.

It still has to start to detect that there's another instance running. It's not that they don't stop the appearance of an app not being started again, but there will always be a finite period of time where the second instance has spun up - even if it then terminates.

How to tell the OS to use the environment provided by the WinForm application instead from system environment.

Example : My WinForm application uses C++ runtime dll's(msvcm80.dll, msvcp80.dll and msvcr80.dll) and bundling them as part of the application. How to make sure that my application will use the C++ runtime dll's that bundled along with product even though the dll's present else where in the system(c:\Windows\Winsxs).

How I can Show the Value of Textbox in another form in C sharp?

14-Dec-11 2:48

Are you asking how to create a file association, so that when you are on the Desktop, or in a Windows Explorer window, and you context-click on a file whose type is the type you have associated: then you want the Windows system context menu to appear with the name of your application under the "Open With" sub-menu ?

Have you set the left mouse button to be the context-click button ?

Is this other form open already? Do you want the value to be displayed when the user clicks a button, or is it to be updated as the user types? You need to provide more information before anyone can offer useful help.

Re: How I can Show the Value of Textbox in another form in C sharp?

13-Dec-11 23:01

The common way to do this is to have an event in your code that looks something like this:

public event EventHandler<string> MyText;

protected void OnMyTextChanged()
{
  EventHandler<string> handler = MyText;
  if (handler == null)
  {
    return;
  }
  handler(this, new TextChangedEventArgs(textBox.Text));
}

Then, all you need do is subscribe to the event in the second form, and it will automatically receive the string whenever you raise this event (which you would trigger from your button click event). Note that TextChangedEventArgs is a custom event args class defined like this:

public class TextChangedEventArgs : EventArgs
{
  public TextChangedEventArgs(string text) : base()
  {
    MyText = text;
  }
  public string MyText { get; private set; }
}

VS 2010 No method to override error

You are probably going to find your definitions (as well as examples) if you access MSDN.

// CS0115.cs
namespace MyNamespace
{
    abstract public class MyClass1
    {
        public abstract int f();
    }

    abstract public class MyClass2
    {
        public override int f()   // CS0115
        {
            return 0;
        }

        public static void Main()
        {
        }
    }
}

After reducing errors to 1, I received the error (named in the Subject line) on line 14 of my project "No method to override". The problem is, Line 14 is blank.
When I went to MSDN, I found CS0115, but I don't know how to change it to work with my project. Should this be simple deduction and logical? Any help would be appreciated.

Perhaps you forgot to tell the compiler that MyClass2 is supposed to derive from MyClass1?

Deborah Palmer McCain13-Dec-11 16:27

13-Dec-11 16:27

As I indicated to others who kindly tried to help, the given code is not mine, but rather the MSDN CS01150 to fix the error "no method to override". I just don't know how to change it, but will muddle through tomorrow. The error appears for a line which is blank...which threw me into a confused abyss.

This is the final error on many lines of code, so, of course,it will give me the most trouble in fixing.

I am just learning, so I truly appreciate the help.

On this question: I think it would be helpful if you state your usage scenario here: what exactly are you trying to implement: how are the classes that implement these abstract classes going to use them ?

An abstract class that does not inherit from some other class is not going to have anything inside it that you can override.

If you changed your 'MyClass2' definition to this:

abstract public class MyClass2: MyClass1
{
    public override int f()
    {
        return 0;
    }

    public static void Main()
    {
    }
}

Now it will compile. But please note, that I am not sure this something you should do.

By the way, I find it very weird to see a 'Main entry point for execution inside an abstract class. I'm curious what your intent is in putting it there.

Override in "Abstract, Son of Abstract" ? I hope others on this forum, much more knowledgeable than I am regarding use of inheritance involving abstract classes, will comment on what it might mean for one abstract class to inherit from another abstract class: is this good (or common) practice ? The purpose of that is obscure ... to me.
