It doesn't reach the app.exit! I checked.
Trying to run it in the same thread causes the Cross Thread error to pop up as soon as the execution reaches the size update of the picturebox.

how can you get a crossthread error if you only using one thread?

My opinion is... If someone has already posted an answer, dont post the SAME answer

As far as I understand, the Timer has a thread and the Form has.
I might be wrong, but then I don't know where the other thread comes from.

As i said i only new the Forms.Timer which the tick event does not cause another thread.

If your timer is having another thread, then you may be getting a cross-thread error you dont know about while using the other thread in your application (as said, errors will not show in thread other than main) does that make sense?

This is the MM timer: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/lescsmultimediatimer.aspx[^]

Yep ,you make perfect sense. I'll first try the Paint Event again. Tried is before but couldn't get it to work the way I wanted (inside a timer event).

with a paintEvent method, the timer should set a global scale value, and then call the panel.Invalidate() method

the paint event should, draw the required image using the global scale value and other positioning calculations

Mmm, I see. Interesting. Will try it and am curious what it will do to the timing?

Thanks

Right. If you want specific actions with images, don't rely on PictureBoxes; use some drawing surface and paint the stuff yourself. Panels are ideal for such purposes.

Hi,

almost all asynchronous devices including serial ports, timers, etc. use extra threads. All timers except one (Forms.Timer) tick on a separate thread, and are not suited for directly touching any Control. One either needs Control.InvokeRequired + Control.Invoke, or use Forms.Timer

FOR EXPERTS: Template Class: Type Constraints

Axonn Echysttas6-Feb-09 2:12

Hey everybody... I got a question for advanced C# programmers. I've been playing around with type constraints for template classes, and I got stuck.
I used [ and ] instead of < and > for template classes because I wanted to have HTML code for you to see better what code I got.

In the C# 3.0 specification (and I will quote directly from Microsoft's document), it's said that this will work:

class B[T] where T: IEnumerable {...}
class D[T]: B[T] where T: IEnumerable {...}
class E[T]: B[List[T]] {...}

Because (so they say):

"Since type parameters are not inherited, constraints are never inherited either. In the example below, D needs to specify the constraint on its type parameter T so that T satisfies the constraint imposed by the base class B[T]. In contrast, class E need not specify a constraint, because List[T] implements IEnumerable for any T."

Now... I put this pre into VS 2008 and the compiler won't work. My pre:

class B[T] where T : IEnumerable[T] { }
class D[T] : B[T] where T : IEnumerable[T] { }
class E[T] : B[List[T]] { }

Error:

"Error 1 The type 'System.Collections.Generic.List[T]' cannot be used as type parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'FunFollAdmin.frmMain.B[T]'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'System.Collections.Generic.List[T]' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable[System.Collections.Generic.List[T]]'. D:\Order\A1.FunFoll Administrator [FFA]\2009-01-25\FunFollAdmin\frmMain.cs 46 10 FunFollAdmin"

Even more......... not even this works:

B[test] test = new B[test]();

Error:

"Error 1 The type 'FunFollAdmin.frmMain.test' cannot be used as type parameter 'T' in the generic type or method 'FunFollAdmin.frmMain.B[T]'. There is no implicit reference conversion from 'FunFollAdmin.frmMain.test' to 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable[FunFollAdmin.frmMain.test]'.

D:\Order\A1.FunFoll Administrator [FFA]\2009-01-25\FunFollAdmin\frmMain.cs 216 28 FunFollAdmin"

Even though I have implemented the class test correctly:

class test : IEnumerable[int]
{
  public test () { }
  #region IEnumerable[int] Members

  public IEnumerator[int] GetEnumerator ()
  {
    throw new NotImplementedException();
  }

  #endregion

  #region IEnumerable Members

  System.Collections.IEnumerator System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator ()
  {
    throw new NotImplementedException();
  }

  #endregion
}

The compiler is right. You wrote where T : IEnumerable[T]: this means that T must be an enumeration of itself!
Note that the MSDN sample uses the non-generic version of IEnumerable (where T : IEnumerable), meaning that T can be any enumeration.

You mean where T : IEnumerable

Ok but how do you declare it so? Because if I declare it so, it says

Error	1	Using the generic type 'System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable<t>' requires '1' type arguments	D:\Order\A1.FunFoll Administrator [FFA]\2009-01-25\FunFollAdmin\frmMain.cs	48	33	FunFollAdmin</t>

I used the code directly from MSDN

 interface IMyInterface<br />
    {<br />
    }<br />
<br />
    class Dictionary[TKey, TVal]<br />
      where TKey : IComparable, IEnumerable<br />
      where TVal : IMyInterface<br />
    {<br />
      public void Add (TKey key, TVal val)<br />
      {<br />
      }<br />
    }

Same error as above!!! I don't get it! Oh boy......... ::- (

You mean <code>where T : IEnumerable</code>

Yes, I mistyped. Corrected now.

You must add using System.Collections in order to use the non-generic version of IEnumerable (or you use its full name: where T : System.Collections.IEnumerable).

hi friends

i want to implement a logic .. string input will be given...it should merge only single characters..pls help

eg.. behind r m d street

o/p expected is behind rmd street

any body help me out with apt logic......

the quieter u become more u hear

Re: concateing strings in c#

how bout a function along the lines of the following

string MergeFunction(string value)
{
result = value;

for(int i = 0; i < value.length; i++)
{

if(value[i-1] == ' ' && value[i+1] == ' ')//single char
{
result = result.remove(i+1, 1);
}

}

return result;
}

dont forget you also need to include some check for handling if i == 0; or i == value.length -1;
because it will throw a index out of bounds error as it is.

EDIT: oops you will need some sort of count for the number of spaces currently remove so you can subtract it from the value when using result.remove

result.remove(i+1-count, 1);

Should be :- s[i - 1] == ' ' && s[i + 1] == ' '

but please make it a seperate function and call it from within your main, its much better practise i.e.

string result = MergeFunction("s y t y i");

Use a positive lookbehind to match a space of the beginning of the string followed by a non-space character, and look for a space or the end of the string instead of the word boundary in the lookahead.
