The question wasn't about a specific method of a specific class.
And as an example and in terms of your statement try to find the 'close' method that I am thinking of right now with no other context.

I find that the documentation from multiple sources plus my decades of experience usually allows me to figure out what some method/class etc is really doing despite what the documentation says or doesn't say.
And there are times when that fails.
Dave Kreskowiak wrote: I'm saying most people don't even bother to look at/find the documentation let alone try to read it.
And I am saying the for the question originally posed that it would take me quite a bit of research to even determine what documentation to start reading in the first place.
Now if I had already used the mentioned API and used it recently then it would take less time. But I haven't.

If everyone read the API docs and such, how would we have fun answering questions here?
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

I am confident that there would still be plenty of questions.

You haven't provided anywhere near enough information to answer this question. What does your code look like? How are you triggering the update? All this information is needed.
|
|
|
|

both forms have text boxes and check boxes data is updated in database and fecthing is from sql qries and set into fom1 textboxes
|
|
|
|
|
And still no code. As it's the code that's wrong, don't you think that you should provide that or are you happy for us to throw random guesses around in the hope that one of them sticks like dung to a wall?

ShowDialog displays the form and waits for the user to close it with OK or Cancel before it returns. When it does, you can get the changed values from the form instance:
MyForm mf = new myForm();
mf.StringValue = "Hello";
if (mf.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
Console.WriteLine(mf.StringValue);
}
mf.StringValue = "Goodbye";
if (mf.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
Console.WriteLine(mf.StringValue);
}Works fine for me: What are you doing that is different?

Does any one knows : How to drawing text that can rotate in Tao.OpenGL , i search the web for two days already . Can't find some sample like Tao.OpenGl for text . If any one has the samples , please let me know . Thanks very much .

I never used TAO, however I do know how to use Google[^] and found a couple of relevant articles including this one[^]. I'd say text rotates just like everything else.

It's been a while since I played with the Shell, but I think this is the correct method:
IShellIcon::GetIconOf()
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb761275(v=vs.85).aspx[^]
EDIT:
I apologize, I forgot this is the C# forum and answered with a C++ solution. If you know what you're doing, however, you can use the Shell interfaces in C#.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I want to fill the cells of a datagridview column based on numbers derived at runtime. Sounds easy enough but...
these two lines of code work great if I only wanted red
dataGridView1.Rows[layerCount].Cells[3].Style.BackColor = Color.Red;
dataGridView1.Rows[layerCount].Cells[3].Style.ForeColor = Color.Red;
but these two lines just color the cells text (if existing)? or they just act bizzarly(although they worked good with a listview)
dataGridView1.Rows[layerCount].Cells[3].Style.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(swLayer.Color);
dataGridView1.Rows[layerCount].Cells[3].Style.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(swLayer.Color);
Anyone have any pointer?
wait a minute, no POINTERS, how about advice

My CP Vanity article fills DGV cells with platinum, gold, silver, bronze. No problem, unless the cell is otherwise empty, then it may get tricky.
|
|
|
|
|
what is CP vanity.?? where is code?

It is one of my articles, as I said. And it has a download link.

I found an answer.
Using System.Drawing.ColorTranslator.FromWin32()
instead of ArgB();

I sometimes come across situations where I could use a string type to represent a unique key in something (sorry for being vague)...
An example:
ConnectSensor(new OffScreenSensor(),"screen");
Where the "screen" part is used to identify the OffScreenSensor object in a dictionary somewhere.
I could use an Enum as a replacement but was wondering if any one here has a better way of dealing with stuff like this?
I don't like the idea of having to look back to see the names of keys I have named before 
|
|

|

strings are fine for identifying, i.e. naming, objects by humans. And I would suggest you store the sensor's name inside the Sensor object, hence turn it into a constructor parameter!
|
|
|
|
|
Ok thanks, sounds like I am on the right track
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I would just derive a class from Sensor that manages its own name, something like a GUID for example.
|
|
|
|
|
Names are supposed to be pronounceable, IMO GUIDs aren't.
|
|
|
|
|
True... but why have a pronounceable name for something that doesn't need one?  .

Depends on the context of 'screen'.
Do you use it as a display name anywhere?
Is it viewable by a user anywhere, like a config value?
Then you need to map to a different value in your code. Mapping of course could still be to a string value. The real issue however is that you want a programmatic value which will not change due to human concerns.

The idea is that other components can get another component based on its key.
At the moment there is no configuration file aspects, but I may consider it...
The problem is that one type of component can be added multiple times, some of them can be configured to act more generically, in theory I could install two OffScreenSensor's but with different keys.
