adding checkbox to datagrid c# winform

1-Feb-06 2:20

First, don't make fields (what you call a public variable) public. They should never be exposed outside the class or its derivatives. If you do that you shoot a very large hole through the concept of encapsulation. Here are some more reasons why you should make fields private and not public[^]

Secondly, and to answer your questions: Here is an article on passing values between forms in .NET[^]. It will show you good techniques to do this.

You can use the CurrentCell property and the corresponding CurrentCellChangedEvent.

Progress bar problem

Hi, I am making an application that simply gets all the html from a webpage and filters out the data I want. The problem is that I want a progressbar to indicate it is working (using the "marquee" style). My code looks like this;

Private void getWebData()
{
progressBar1.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Marquee;
progressBar1.Value = 100;

//simple code to get wepage...
//simple code to filter out data I want...
//put data into listbox

progressBar1.Value = 0;
progressBar1.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Continuous;
}

I thought that this would set the progressbar going, then do the work, then stop the progress bar, but instead the progress bar just doesnt do anything, although the code to get the html data does work.

Any comment greatly appreciated,
thanks!
Martin.

If the entire form that the progress bar is on locks up, along with the progress bar not moving (i.e. nothing is redrawn on the form), then it is probably because you are running your webpage code from the same thread. The way to get around this is to run the web code on a seperate thread (although you shouldn't update your ListBox from this new thread, as that will throw errors).

Hope that helps Smile | :)

Yes that does help, thnaks! Further problem now is how do I stop the progress bar? because if I put the code to stop the progress bar in the new thread, then that makes the progressbar disappears altogether when the thread finishes (why is that?), and I can't put the code like this;

Private void getWebData()
{
progressBar1.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Marquee;
progressBar1.Value = 100;

//start new thread to do everything

progressBar1.Value = 0;
progressBar1.Style = ProgressBarStyle.Continuous;
}

because then as you would expect it starts and stop the progress bar imidiately. I assume I have to somehow attach an event handler to the new thread so I know when it finishes?

thanks

Hmmm... Not sure. You could try an event handler, but I would take a look at this[^] article first (it explains GUI updation from different threads. I think it applies to FW v2, but I'm not sure)

Maybe you've already worked it out, but I had a play and if you stick the following code somewhere, and then call StopProgressBar() from the new thread (after all the web stuff), it should work.

private delegate void SetProgBarDelegate();
private void StopProgressBar()
{
    if (this.InvokeRequired)
    {
        this.BeginInvoke(new SetProgBarDelegate(StopProgressBar));
        return;
    }
    this.progressBar1.MarqueeAnimationSpeed = 0;
}

Cheers,

struct TT{
int a1;
int a2;
int a3[2][10];
}

and i can get the size of the struct by using sizof(TT), will be 88 byte
but how can i declare a struct like this in c#, and get the struct size = 88 byte;
i have try like this
struct TA{
int a1;
int a2;
public int[,] a3 = new int [2,10];
}
TA ta = new TA();
and i call Marshal.SizeOf( ta ) the size alway is only 8
how can i do ?can someone tell me why plz, and think a lot

Try reading stuff on MSDN.com, specifically Coding4Fun

Or try to get a book from Sams (C# in 21 days is a good starter).

But make sure you learn by doing, otherwise you will never fully understand it.

PS - there is only one version of C#, therefore it is not called C#.NET specificall as it was designed in the first place for .net Wink | ;)

Actually, if we're going to get pedantic about it the MCSD exams I took all referred to "Microsoft Visual C#.NET" (note also the capitals in .NET) Microsoft Visual C#.NET (Core Reference)[^] published by Microsoft Press is another example where the full form name is used. However, most people just shorten it to C#

To my knowledge, there are two versions of the C# compiler (and nothing stopping more being available): Mono C#[^]

Remember that C# is a set of ECMA standards[^]
