That does seem odd... Could you specify what type of variable "arguments" is?

In the code segment I gave you earlier, I tried it with arguments as a string and then displayed it in a MessageBox. It was formatted without the '\' characters.

Code:

string filename = @"C:\my file";
string arguments = "-i \"" + filename + "\"";
MessageBox.Show(arguments);

I think you may be getting confused with the use of the verbatim literal (@ symbol). If you're using this before the string, then all escape characters (like the extra '\') will be included.

What it's doing now is showing you the string representation of the referenced ListView SubItem object. What I believe you want is the "Text" property value associated with the SubItem, like below:

Code:

txtOrderDate.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text;
txtInvoice.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[2].Text;

If I'm understanding it right, I think you're very close...

The "filename" variable name needs to be appended to the rest of the string, so you could do something like:

Code:

string filename = @"C:\my file";
arguments = "-i \"" + filename + "\"";

No worries. Glad to help.

Oh, I see. Sorry about that, I misunderstood what you were trying to do. I thought you wanted to access a method from the other form and needed a reference to it. I'm glad you were able to solve it anyway.

It looks like someone else had this question as well. Maybe the replies they got will help...

But to summarize, I think your best bet would be to either try disposing the PictureBox's Image before doing file operations, or reading the file into an Image object in memory and using that for the Image property instead of the file itself....

Sure, no problem. Here would be the basic PasswordForm class definition:

Code:

    public partial class PasswordForm : Form
    {
        StartForm2 otherFormReference = null;

        public PasswordForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        public PasswordForm(string username, StartForm2 otherForm)
        {
            otherFormReference = otherForm;

If you have a DataTable as your DataSource for the DataGridView, and you want to sort or filter the list, one way would be to use a DataView. Here is an MSDN page with an example of how to do it:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...(v=vs.71).aspx

Basically what you'd be doing is creating a view of the table data and setting the RowFilter property to be like the "where" clause...

One way would be to overload the constructor to accept your first form as a parameter. Then you could access all of its properties and methods.

Another way would be to create a static class with references to your forms. Then you could get at them through that.

One common way to handle this type of situation would be to create a synchronizing variable and use the lock construct to hold until it's free. Here's a nice example of how to do this:

My best guess would be that all of the labels used to display the data from the database have been renamed on the page. What you'll probably need to do it go through them all and rename them here in this code to whatever their new names are. For example, in the case of "Label1", you'll need to go to the page and identify which label is supposed to show the value of the data field "Type" from the database. See what that label's...

bentleyw · Jan 25 '11, 05:11 PM

I believe you need to change:

this.Controls.A dd(loginLabel);

to

loginTab.Contro ls.Add(loginLab el);

Otherwise, you are adding the label to the main control (probably the form) instead of the tab page.

bentleyw · Jan 25 '11, 12:02 AM

The easiest way that I can think of off the top of my head would be to create another form that would act as a "splash screen" type of thing. If you set the border style to none and set the back color to the same as the transparency key, then you could throw on a PictureBox with your logo image. You'd have to do a bit of coding for positioning it in a way to appear like it's over your focus form, but that could work for you.

How about reading and writing a file. You could parse it as XML content as well. That's always good practice. ;)

Maybe try creating a TreeView showing all of the files, folders and sub-folders of a given folder. That can be good for recursion practice. And populating other informational fields could be good for data binding practice.

Hope that gets the creative juices flowing for ya... Happy coding!

Hello again, Josh. For this one I think what you want is to set the InitialDirector y of the OpenFileDialog to Application.Sta rtupPath, or whatever folder path you like.

bentleyw · Dec 18 '10, 08:32 PM

No problem. Glad to help. :)

bentleyw · Dec 18 '10, 03:35 PM

Sure. Assuming that the ComboBox is named "cmbProcess es", you could use a list like this:

Code:

            Process[] processRunning = Process.GetProcesses();
            List<string> processList = new List<string>();
            foreach (Process currProcess in processRunning)
            {
                if (currProcess.MainWindowHandle.ToInt32() > 0)
                    processList.Add(currProcess.ProcessName);

...

bentleyw · Dec 18 '10, 03:04 PM

I think maybe it's because of the '=' instead of '=='. If you are indeed trying to compare each value, give this a try instead:

Code:

if ((myDataReader.GetString(0) == empID) && (myDataReader.GetString(1) == shiftID) && (myDataReader.GetFloat(2) == Final11))

bentleyw · Dec 18 '10, 01:56 PM

I'm not sure where you're getting your data. But assuming that this is data from a database and you're querying it, then you could write a UNION query with a SELECT for each column. If you need to do it client side, then you could build a new DataTable with one column and populate it either iteratively or using LINQ. Then the DisplayMember of the ComboBox would be the column name from the table, and set the table as the DataSource.
