First off, sorry for the long question but I wnat to try and be clear. Any ways I have the following code:
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
Here is the constructor for Form1
public Form1()
{
// Form 1 Control definitions removed
newClass1= new NewClass();
newClass2= new NewClass();
Thread Thread1=new Thread(new ThreadStart(newClass1.Start));
Thread Thread2=new Thread(new ThreadStart(newClass2.Start));
Thread1.Start();
Thread2.Start();
}
Here is the New Class Constructor:
Public NewClass()
{
Context=new ApplicationContext();
Form2 ChildForm1=new Form2();
Form2 ChildForm2=new Form2();
Context.MainWindow=ChildForm2;
}
Here is the thread Start delegate:
public void Start
{
Application.Run(Context);
}
If a method on Form 1 wants to call a method on the instance ChildForm1 an Invoke call must be used and it works. However if a call on Form1 wants to call a method on ChildForm2 the InvokeRequired property always shows false and an Invoke call won't work. Why??
Thanks for an help

When I add a TreeView control to a form and then run the program, a horizontal scrollbar appears at the bottom of the control, whether needed or not. How can a remove this unnessary scrollbar?

Change the Scrollable property to false.

I would do what you recommended, however, I want the scrollbars to show up when they are necessary. Is there some workaround for this situation?

Ok, I see now.

I've never seen one, but I would either cheat, and say if the treeview has 3 embedded nodes, change the scrollable property to true, or do it the hard way and measure the nodes to see if you truely need to scroll.
Hope this gives you some idea's

It kind of looks like I may have to do things the hard way you mentioned, although it would be nice if there way some quicker way around this.  Thanks for the help.

Hello friends,
I have two problems that I need help as soon as possible:
1. How can I dial and stablish a dial-up connection from within my ASP.NET application?
2. How can I call a webservice method at runtime using its name and address as strings?
Waiting for fast helps,
I thank you so much.

From an ASP page?  Is this a server running a an FTP or web site?

You might be able to get away with it, but by the time the machine calls back and gets connected to the net your ASP.NET page and/or browser will have long since timed out.
If your are remotely waking a machine up and having connect to the Internet, is it using a standard ISP service? If so, then the machine will receive a different IP address every time and will be incredibly slow for a server, so what good is the remote machine??

I am wanting to add functionality which allows the user to insert text wherever his/her insertion point is located. For instance, if I had the following text in the RichTextBox:
"Hello World!"
And my insertion point was between the 'd' and the '!', how would I insert the string " today" at the insertion point's location so that the outcome would be:
"Hello World today!"
Thanks in advance.

That functionality is already there. Click at the point you want and start typing, so long as the RTB control's ReadOnly property isn't set to True. Even Copy/Paste works...
If you are trying to insert via code, then all you do is set the SelectionStart property to the position you want, set SelectionLength=0, then set SelectionText equal to whatever you want to insert at that point.

I'm working on a business object that stores a DateTime as a property. In the context within which this object will be used, this DateTime property is most frequently referred-to property, so I would like to be able to write my code such that I can read and assign this date value directly, ie:
<br />
DateTime collectedDate = new DateTime(5, 28, 2004);<br />
string requiredString = "Additional info I need";<br />
bool[] requiredBoolArray = new bool[4]{true, true, false, true};<br />
myDateObject = new CustomDateObject(collectedDate, requiredString , requiredBoolArray);<br />
if (myDateObject <= System.DateTime.Now)<br />
{<br />
}<br />
else<br />
{<br />
myDateObject = System.DateTime.Now;<br />
}<br />
I've got the binary operators to evaluate my object as a DateTime value working just fine. My assignment operators are another story entirely - how do I create an assignment operator without having the other data in my object get reset to their default values (as happens below)?
<br />
public static implicit operator CustomDateObject(DateTime date)<br />
{<br />
CustomDateObject cdo = new CustomDateObject();<br />
cdo.Date = date;<br />
return cdo;<br />
}<br />
TIA...

Thats the first thing you should learn, never try and be fancy with operators and casts.

I mean there is no logic! how on earth can the previous values magically appear if u are creating a new object?

I'd always thought that the first thing one should learn was to never use absolutes... At any rate, under the heading of sublimely unhelpful, we have:

Um, there was logic behind that question had you read it in it's entirety. The only way I could see how to cast a date struct into my date object was by returning a new instance of my date object; I was trying to find out if I was missing something. Evidently I wasn't.
See? No magic.

You can't. It is like if you cast between an int and a byte. A byte can hold values 0 to 255, an int can hold values -2billion to +2billion (approx.)
byte myByte = 100;<br />
int myInt = (int)myByte;<br />
But if you do this:
int myInt = 1000;<br />
byte myByte = (byte)myInt;<br />
Actually the result is 232, which is the same as (myInt%256). This is because to fit into an int the data had to be truncated, and if we try and reassign the byte back to the int, we will only ever see as much as was truncated.

Can anyone point me to an example that seperates your Windows Form and it's events away from the class that actually carries out your Application logic?

Yes, create a new C# file, without any controls in it

Model-View-Controller Pattern[^]
This article describes the MVC pattern in relation to web pages, but many of the ideas also apply to Windows Forms.
From the above link:
The Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern separates the modeling of the domain, the presentation, and the actions based on user input into three separate classes [Burbeck92]:
Model. The model manages the behavior and data of the application domain, responds to requests for information about its state (usually from the view), and responds to instructions to change state (usually from the controller).
View. The view manages the display of information.
Controller. The controller interprets the mouse and keyboard inputs from the user, informing the model and/or the view to change as appropriate.
Does this help?

I'm looking to read a text file that has properties coded on it ex : name=Joe
and can set a control with those properties at run time. Here is an example of what i've coded for this already :
private void ReadFile()
{
StreamReader sr;
string ;s
sr = File.OpenText("c:\\Test.txt");
s = sr.ReadLine();
sr.Close();
tabPage1.Text = s;
}
I need to start setting the numberOfTabs I want, the Alignment of the tabs.

Sounds like what I use .ini files for.
I think there's a C# article on Code
Project that encapsulates WritePrivateProfileString
and ReadPrivateProfileString. Or you could
DLLImport them and roll your own.
Delphi has a pretty nice TIniFile class so
what I did was write a dual-interface COM
wrapper for it so I could use it with anything
that can use COM. I haven't tried it with
C# yet though. It worked fine with VB 6 and
VC++ 6.
