I have a variable defined as public in form1 and am trying to assign a value to it in form2, but when I try to run it I get this error message "The name 'x' does not exist in the current context" . I have tried to search in my books and in the help files but i am just missing. I am probably over thinking it but I just can't seem to find it.

Care to post code snippets? 1 with the variable declaration in form1 and another with the assignment statement in form2.

form1 varible declaration
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
public Form2 Form2= new Form2 ();
public int x = 0;
....
}
form2 assignment statement
private void Form2_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//this is where i think the problem is
x = 3;
}

Whoa, hold on there. That code looks so...
ok, see, if you want to access a public variable of form 1 in form 2, you an object of form2 must have a reference to an object of form1.
So, the code should be:
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
public Form2 Form2= new Form2 (this);
public int x = 0;
....
}
// Form2 class
public class Form2
{
private Form1 owner;
// Constructor
public Form2( Form1 form1)
{
this.owner = form1;
}
private void Form2_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
//this is where i know the problem is
owner.x = 3;
}
...
}
with this, the Form1 object's variable x will be set inside Form2 after Form2 loads. Please read up on the concepts of classes and objects.

Although Praveen response is perfectly good, I consider (and he probably also does, reading his comment on the first line) that you should review your design. You are implementing one of the worst design anti-pattern, tight coupling (Re-Coupling). In this design, 2 objects depend on each other. Form1 depends on Form2 which depends on Form1.
You should implement something else, maybe event-base, or interface-based.

Declare an instance of form2, then pass in the variable value to a public method in form2 via a method in form1...
---
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
Form2 form2;
...
private void SendValueToForm2(variableValue)
{
form2.SetValue(variableValue)
}

hi,
i have a c# network based system, in which multiple clients connect to a central server. there is a server application and there are many client applications installed in each of the network workstations.
what i want to do if i disconnect the LAN cable, from the workstation, my server will know it and will prompt the admin for that.
how will do that?? help pls.. tnx..
i have no problem if the client closes the clientApplication, the server workstation list would immediately be updated. but if i disconnect the cable the list is not updated.

Usually in client-server architecture, the initative must be taken by the client to contact the server. The server does not go searching for the client.
A problem similar to yours is also faced by Web Servers like IIS, which maintain a session per client that connects and session takes up memory on the server. So the session must be destroyed when the client disconnects. But web browsers like IE do not inform the server on being closed. So server comes up with a simple mechanism of destroying the session. If the client does not connect for a long time (maybe 15 minutes), the session gets automatically destroyed.
You can adopt a similar concept. Also, a live client could send some dummy ping messages at regular intervals, to keep the session active.

How can I overload a constructor elegantly where the body of the multiple cnstr's holds the same code. For instance:
public C( string s, double p )
{
local_s = s;
local_p = p;
}
pubilc C( double p )
{
local_p = p;
}
I'd like something such as:
public C( string S, double p )
{
local_s = s;
C( p );
}
but the compiler complains 'C' denotes a 'class' which is not valid in the given context. Of course I could write a private function call to load 'p':
public C( string s, double p )
{
local_s = s;
save( p );
}
public C( double p )
{
save( p );
}
private save( double p )
{
local_p = p;
}
but this seems inelegant.
Please advise. Thx.

Try :
public C( double p )
{
local_p = p;
}
public C( string S, double p ) : this( p )
{
local_s = s;
}

Interesting, I've not seen this syntax before.
I understand the class declaration
public class C : A {
// foo
}
but ':' in a constructor? Would you pls elaborate a bit?
Thx.

As part of the constructor declaration you can call a base constructor or another constructor in the same class. This is very convenient for constructor overloading:
class MyClass : AnotherClass {<br />
<br />
private int b;<br />
<br />
public MyClass(int a, int b) : base(a) {<br />
this.b = b;<br />
}<br />
<br />
public MyClass(int a) : this(a, 42) {}<br />
<br />
public MyClass(bool a) : this(a?1:0) {}<br />
<br />
}
---
b { font-weight: normal; }

{<br />
label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();<br />
Thread.Sleep(1000);<br />
}
but this error occurs
D:\Help Documents\C# Projects\Threading(WinApp)\Form1.cs(23): 'System.Threading.ThreadStart' denotes a 'class' which is not valid in the given context
what is problem?

Answer from Nicholas is very good, but your code will also generate a run-time exception when executing the label1.Text = .... from the other thread, because the control was initialized in another thread.
Change to something like:
class Form1
{
private delegate void SetLabel1TextDel();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
Thread thrd = new Thread( ThreadStart(this.MyMethode()));
thrd.Start();
}
private void MyMethode()
{
if (this.InvokeRequired)
{
this.Invoke(new SetLabel1TextDel(this.SetLabel1Text));
}
else
{
this.SetLabel1Text();
}
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
private void SetLabel1Text()
{
label1.Text = DateTime.Now.ToString();
}

Hi
I develop a mobile device with a Touch-Screen (1024*768) with XP-Embedded. The application should be region/language independet.
The standard XP On-Screen-Keyboard is too small.
Can I manipulate the size of the buttons programmatically?
or
Is there a way to program a multi-language keyboard myself?
or
Does anybody know a good 3rd-Party-Tool/Library programmed in C#?
Thanks and best regards,
