I dont think so, ShowDialog() exists to make the second form stay on top of the first;
minimizing the second without minimizing the first would defy that purpose.

Hi all,
I've seen a lot of posts over the web about this issue but not even one(!) prudent solution.
I'm creating an excel file. Filling in some data, saving the excel and then when i'm trying to delete it i get the following exception:
"The process cannot access the file 'c:\temporaryFiles\ANLsnir_yarom_276200717848.xls' because it is being used by another process. "
Here's a code extract of the problem, a lot of progarammers would appriciate an answer for this riddle:
Excel.Application excelApp = new new Excel.Application();
Excel._Workbook workbook = (Excel._Workbook)excelApp.Workbooks.Add(Type.Missing);
Excel._Worksheet worksheet = (Excel._Worksheet)workbook.ActiveSheet;
//write into the excel and...
workbook.Close(ANL_Excel.vk_true, filePath, ANL_Excel.vk_false);
excelApp.Save(filePath);
excelApp.Quit();
Process[] pProcess;
pProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("Excel");
pProcess[0].Kill();
File.Delete(filePath);
Many Thanks,
Snir Yarom.

two observations about your code snippet:
1. only the first process returned by GetProcessesByName is being killed; what if there is more than one EXCEL.exe?
2. none of the Excel COM objects are being released. Don't forget to Marshal.ReleaseComObject(aComObject); all those Excel objects being created.
hope this helps . . .

Thanks for the reply.
I've implmeneted your observations:
Process[] pProcess;<br />
pProcess = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName("Excel");<br />
foreach(Process prcs in pProcess)<br />
{<br />
if (prcs != null)<br />
prcs.Kill();<br />
} <br />
<br />
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(excelApp);
But still, i get the same exception when i'm trying to delete this file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

// Need this to clean up all refs
workbook.Close(null,null,null);
excelApp.Workbooks.Close();
excelApp.Quit();
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject (excelApp);
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject (worksheet);
System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject (workbook);
worksheet=null;
workbook=null;
excelApp= null;
GC.Collect(); // final cleanup!
then delete your file

Hi friends,
I am designing a paint brush type program…..for drawing area where I can draw something then I used pictureBox…..like as
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Red, 5);<br />
g = pictureBox2.CreateGraphics();<br />
g.DrawEllipse(p, e.X, e.Y, 5, 7);
in this program I can draw anything but when I want to save this drawing by the help of this command: pictureBox2.Image.Save(saveFileDialog1.FileName);
then an error occur : “NullReferenceExpection was unhandled !”“Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”
i got the solution of above problem like as:
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox2.Width, pictureBox2.Height);<br />
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);<br />
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Red, 5);<br />
g.DrawEllipse(p, e.X, e.Y, 5, 7); <br />
pictureBox2.Image = bmp;
follwing code solve just half problem...............means save only last ellipse ,but i want whole drawing
private void pictureBox2_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)<br />
{ <br />
if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left)<br />
{<br />
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox2.Width, pictureBox2.Height);<br />
<br />
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);<br />
<br />
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Red, 5);<br />
<br />
g.DrawEllipse(p, e.X, e.Y, 5, 7); <br />
}---------------------------------------------------------------
and then ......... ... .
if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)<br />
{<br />
pictureBox2.Image = bmp;<br />
<br />
pictureBox2.Image.Save(saveFileDialog1.FileName);
}-----------------------------------------------------------------
i think, there is something missing in
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
or
pictureBox2.Image = bmp;(like: pictureBox2.Image += bmp;but illegal )
-----------------------------------------------------------------
bmp or pictureBox does not update with previous condition
it always losing the previous ellipse and save the last drawn
ellipse
i need your help!
thanks

Hello,
I think you have to do the drawing task in the OnPaint event of the PictureBox.
To force painting of the control you could use "Refresh()" or "Invalidate()".
And you should allways dispose the IDisposable members.
Cause this will cause memory leaks!
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Red, 5);
p.Dispose();
or
using(Pen p = new Pen(Color.Red, 5))
{
}
All the best,
Martin

Explain more.......
i use
private void pictureBox2_MouseDown(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)<br />
private void pictureBox2_MouseMove(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)<br />
private void pictureBox2_MouseUp(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
events for drawing onto the pictureBox
how i can use "Refresh()" or "Invalidate()"?
i just want drawing area(pictureBox,bitmap etc..) where i draw something and save this drawing in my hard drive.
i already make the paintbrush type program ,all functions doing well ....also drawing is save onto the my drive but it is incomplete

Hi Martin,
Martin# wrote: And you should allways dispose the IDisposable members
you should Dispose() the disposable objects you created, either by instantiating
them with the new keyword, or by calling a create method such as CreateGraphics;
but not the ones handed to you, e.g. PaintEventArgs.Graphics or the system objects
such as Pens.Black

Out of curiosity, what made you do it like this ? There seem to be a flood of people doing this, and it's totally wrong.

This was answered at length for someone else just below. CreateGRaphics is bad, don't use it. If you use a picturebox, put a picture in it, and draw on it first. Then you can save it. CreateGraphics should be used only for drawing things you want to be able to erase, such as rubber bands. It is not for persistent drawing, and certainly it makes your picture box a waste of time, it never does anything.

Christian Graus!
i change my codeing
Bitmap bmp = new Bitmap(pictureBox2.Width, pictureBox2.Height);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bmp);
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Red, 5);
g.DrawEllipse(p, e.X, e.Y, 5, 7);
pictureBox2.Image = bmp;
here i don't use CreateGraphics();

Dear All,
I have two grids g1 and g2 and three tables t1,t2,t3. Basically there are only two tables t1 & t3 which have many to many relationship between them for which i have created t2. I want to show the data of t1 in g1 and data of t3 in g2 based on selected row of g1.
Can any body tell me how can i do this? Currently i have created two relationships dr1 (between t1 & t2) and dr2 (between t2 & t3) and have databinding like this:
g1.DataSource=t1;
g2.DataSource=t1;
g2.DataMember="dr1.dr2";
This scheme shows the data in g2 but not all the relevant rows in g2 are displayed. Instead just a single row against one row in g1 is displayed.
Kindly give me some guidance in this regard.
Regards,
Wasif Ehsan.

I'd go the easy way out & create two datasets that collect the information I want to display & bind the grids to them.
I think I'm going to call my next project "Chuck Norris". It's a sure way to guarantee it's unbreakable.

I am working on an application in which i save save html files which have ISO-8859-1 encoding (The html files are in spanish).
I use stream writer to save the source of the files as html files.
The problem is the encoding options available in the system.text.Encoding class are
ASCII
UTF7
UTF32
UTF8
Unicode
so when I save the page it changes certain characters.
Can Any 1 suggest which encoding i should use ...
o O º(`'·.,(`'·., ☆,.·''),.·'')º O o°
»·'"`»* *☆ t4ure4n ☆* *«·'"`«
°o O º(,.·''(,.·'' ☆`'·.,)`'·.,)º O o°
|
|
|
|
|
Encoding.Default should do the job
|
|
|
|
|
Thanks it worked for me
o O º(`'·.,(`'·., ☆,.·''),.·'')º O o°
»·'"`»* *☆ t4ure4n ☆* *«·'"`«
°o O º(,.·''(,.·'' ☆`'·.,)`'·.,)º O o°
|
|
|
|
|
Those are only the predefined encodings. You can create an encoding for any code page that the system supports using the Encoding.GetEncoding method. Check the documentation for the Encoding class for all the available encodings.

How to save into a file a graphics?
I tried this but not working 
Graphics g = pictureBox1.CreateGraphics();
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Black);
g.DrawRectangle(p, 1, 1, 100, 20);
Bitmap bit = new Bitmap(482, 150, g);
bit.Save("c:\\image.bmp");
And if i draw something into a picturebox, how to save it into a file?
I tried this but not working
Graphics g = pictureBox1.CreateGraphics();
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Black);
gg.DrawRectangle(p, 1, 1, 100, 50);
gg.DrawRectangle(p, 2, 10, 50, 30);
Bitmap bb = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Image);
bb.Save("c:\\image.bmp");

Standard question #1:
What do you mean by "not working"?
Standard question #2:
What error message do you get?
The CreateGraphics method creates a Graphics object for drawing on the control. There is no specific CreateGraphics method that creates a Graphics object for drawing on the image in a PictureBox. You are just drawing on the screen, that does not affect the image in the PictureBox.
You have to create a Graphics object for the bitmap so that you can draw the graphics on the bitmap instead of on the screen.

To further clarify, you should never do this
1 - it's a waste of a picture box, the picture box does nothing
2 - if your form is obscured, what you drew will be erased
Draw in your paint event, or create a Bitmap and assign it to the picture box. Draw on it first if you want to, and save it, if you want to do that.
pmartike wrote: Bitmap bb = new Bitmap(pictureBox1.Image);
The issue here is that there is no image inside the picture box, you need to put one in there, and even if you do, CreateGraphics won't do anything to it. It's more like you are drawing on a layer above the control, a layer that is not permanent.
