I believe this is by design, with the the file info class containing static data from instanciation rather than taking the overhead needed to monitor the filesystem for any changes. If you need dynamic updates you'll have to run a FileSystemWatcher in a seperate thread to do the updating, and even then you'll have a slight delay due to when the FSW thread gains a CPU to do it's work.

Maybe you should first create the file itself and the FileInfo object afterwards cause probably the Exists property determines its return value on basis of information from construction time and not invocation time.

Use the Refresh method to update the information in the FileInfo object.
If you use the FileInfo object to create the file, I believe that it will update itself, but if you create the file "behind it's back" it won't be aware of the change, and will return the information that it got when it was created.
How this works is mentioned in the documentation for most of the properties of the object, but not in the documentation of the Exists property.

This is probably not related, but it could be security restrictions on the computer.
Today i wrote some code on a computer that should of worked...the file most definately existed at the path, but creating a stream to the file and testing if it existed with File.Exists kept on reporting that the file did not exist...even though Assembly.Load on a file, even though the file existed,and
Directory.GetFiles showed it...
Look here was the output,...the paths in beginning were files in directory
<br />
C:\Documents and<br />
Settings\jah4\Desktop\Projects\WindowsApplication1\bin\Debug\ClassLibrary1.dll<br />
C:\Documents and<br />
Settings\jah4\Desktop\Projects\WindowsApplication1\bin\Debug\ClassLibrary1.pdb<br />
C:\Documents and<br />
Settings\jah4\Desktop\Projects\WindowsApplication1\bin\Debug\WindowsApplication1.exe<br />
C:\Documents and<br />
Settings\jah4\Desktop\Projects\WindowsApplication1\bin\Debug\WindowsApplication1.pdb<br />
<br />
File or assembly name C:\Documents and<br />
Settings\jah4\Desktop\Projects\WindowsApplication1\bin\Debug\ClassLibrary1.dll,<br />
or one of its dependencies, was not found.<br />
So it turned out some security thing prevented me from loading a file...theirs probably some api i could dllimport to get around that bug  , at the very least i could just run notepad which has the sorta access i need to read the file...then to a byte array and my Assembly.Load would probably work...but i'm to lazy for that

Hi,
I am a c# newbie and I am having some problems.
I am trying to draw an image with a transparent background. I wan't to be able to draw it directly onto a form or on to a picturebox (or on top of anything in fact). However, with the code below, when the image is drawn on a form, the area that I want to be transparent is transparent, but it also makes that area of the form transparent so I can see applications behind the form through it  Also when I try to draw the image on a picturebox, the pictuebox just covers it up completely.
The code I have written is as follows:
protected override void OnPaint(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs e )
{
Rectangle imgRect = new Rectangle(0,0, this.Width, this.Height);
Bitmap wibblyBit = new Bitmap(_upImage);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(wibblyBit);
ImageAttributes ia = new ImageAttributes();
Color transparentColor = wibblyBit.GetPixel(0,0);
ia.SetColorKey(transparentColor, transparentColor);
g.DrawImage(wibblyBit, imgRect, 0, 0, upImage.Width, upImage.Height,
GraphicsUnit.Pixel, ia);
//Draw from the memory bitmap
e.Graphics.DrawImage(m_bmpOffscreen, 0, 0);
base.OnPaint(e);
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I'm subscribing to the VisibleChanged event in my user control. However, that's only fired when the value for Visible property is changed from false to true. It is NOT fired when the Visible property is changed from true to false. So in otherwords, I'd like to be notified not only when control is made visible but also when it is being made invisible.
How do I achieve this without overriding the Visible property?
Thanks,
- Malhar

UserControl classes fire the event on either transition.
Does your user control inherit directly from System.Windows.Forms.UserControl or from another class that may be overriding the Visible property, or the Show() or Hide() methods?
Are you sure the visibility is not being set from true to true, or false to false?

Nope...
Just to test it out, I tried with a small example.
a) put a PropertyGrid (propertyGrid1) in form
b) put a TextBox (textBox1) in form
c) bind propertyGrid1 to textBox1
d) add a handler for VisibleChanged on textBox1
e) add following code in the handler
this.Text = textBox1.Visible.ToString()
f) Run the program
g) change the "Visible" property of the textbox1 in the propertyGrid1 to true/false. The form title never shows "false" eventhough the propertyGrid1 may show "false" for the Visible property value.
I tested my solution with "MessageBox.Show(..)" instead of "this.Text = ..." but no luck.

That's bizarre. I followed your same steps in both VS2003 (w/.NET 1.1) and VS2005 (w/.NET 2.0), and the title changes to "True" or "False", appropriately, as I set the Visible property in the property grid.

That is bizzare ... no wonder I couldn't find any documentation stating that events are suppressed when visibility is changed to false. My solution is in VS2003 (1.1) and unfortunately, cannot convert to VS05. I'll see if there something funky going on in my machine.
Thanks,

Do you have .NET 1.1 SP1 installed?
You can find out if you go to Help->"About Microsoft Visual C# .NET" and look at the version on the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1. Mine is 1.1.4322 SP1.
This may be one of the many, many bugs[^] addressed in SP1.

I have the same BUG !?!
In fact, the event is not fire when you hide the parent like this :
userControl.Parent.Hide();

Hi
How i can manage grid view in net 2.0.I mean size adjastmen i have grid view with 10 rows per pages but ther problem is that size is cahage dinamicly
and is dipend from data into this row how i can make to size be sam for differnet data?
good bye
best regards

I don't think that you can. If you set it to display 10 rows. Then 10 rows will be displayed. The height of the grid will change if any of the text is wrapped. You could put the grid inside a div tag.
Somthing like this.
<div style="OVERFLOW:auto;WIDTH:400px;HEIGHT:500px">
datagird
</div>

i want to add Menu>Submenu dynamically, depending upon the data i receive. till now i did :
<br />
MainMenu mnuMain = new MainMenu();<br />
<br />
MenuItem mnuFile = new MenuItem("&File");<br />
MenuItem mnuMod = new MenuItem("&Module");<br />
<br />
mnuMain.MenuItems.Add(mnuFile);<br />
mnuMain.MenuItems.Add(mnuMod);<br />
<br />
MenuItem mnuFExit = new MenuItem("E&xit", new EventHandler(mnuFExit_Click),Shortcut.CtrlX);<br />
<br />
mnuFile.MenuItems.Add(mnuFExit);<br />
<br />
foreach (string strKeyName in arrValue)
{<br />
mnuMod.MenuItems.Add(strKeyName,new EventHandler(mnuModMenu_Click));<br />
}<br />
till here it's working perfectly. now i want to add submenu to those menu i'v added dynamically. only i have the text of those menu(strKeyName), but don't have any name so can't add menuitems referring them. how can i do that?
|

You could try something like:
foreach (string strKeyName in arrValue)
{
mnuMod.MenuItems.Add(strKeyName, new EventHandler(mnuModMenu_click));
foreach (MenuItem mi in mnuMod.MenuItems)
{
if (mi.Text == strKeyName)
{
}
}
}
Obviously this assumes that the Text value of each menu item is unique. However, if you have duplicates in the menu it will confuse the user... so take it for what its worth.

ya, that's the main problem, it's will not only confuse the user but also make coding harder. and most important thing is it's not possible to go with the assumption that every text will be unique. like if i build a library system(for an instance) i may have menu like --> Book > Add ; Member > Add
now on click of both add i get that "Add", and my program can't understand which "Add' has been called? Can you give any solution?
Beside this i was trying to pass the name through variable, i've tried that in sevaral way but none worked out. if i want to pass the name through a string/array how can i do that? like :
MenuItem strMenu = new MenuItem(); //considering strMenu has some value as the name of the menu
though this code is wrong, i'v just written it to explain my query.
And Thanks for your reply

You could save the MenuItems in an array:
MenuItem[] menuItems = new MenuItem[arrValue.Length];
for(int i = 0; i < arrValue.Length; i++)
{
menuItems[i] = mnuMod.MenuItems.Add(arrValue[i], new EventHandler(mnuModMenu_Click));
}
menuItems[i].MenuItems.Add("First submenu's first item", new EventHandler(...));Just remember that if you use the same event handler, you'll have to identify in it which menu item was selected, and if you didn't save all the MenuItem references, you'll have to do it by text.

Hi All,
I am creating a class with a Hash Table as one of its objects. I am taking Hash Table as one of its members because, i need a key value pair there.
After creating the Object, i need to serializing the object into an XML file.
Obviously, it will throw an error, as hash table cannot be serialized.
How will be able to serialize such a class then. I need the hash table inside this class object only.

I try to implement drag and drop in .NET FrameWork 2.0. The code below works fine. You have to drag one node onto the other. The problem is that the exception is lost. When I call the failing function via the button everything is fine, the exception comes as expected. But when I do it from drag and drop nothing happens, the exception disappears as if handled by an external code in the FrameWork. Am I doing something wrong?
The form contains only a treeview with two nodes, and a button:
using System;<br />

using System.ComponentModel;<br />
using System.Data;<br />
using System.Drawing;<br />

{<br />
public partial class Form1 : Form<br />
{<br />
private TreeNode previousTarget;<br />
<br />
private void FunctionThatFailes()<br />
{<br />
throw new ApplicationException("Something is wrong");<br />
}<br />
<br />
public Form1()<br />
{<br />
InitializeComponent();<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void treeView1_ItemDrag(object sender, ItemDragEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
treeView1.DoDragDrop(<br />
treeView1.SelectedNode, DragDropEffects.Move);<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void treeView1_DragDrop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
TreeNode source = e.Data.GetData(typeof(TreeNode)) as TreeNode;<br />
TreeNode target = previousTarget;<br />
ResetPreviousTarget();<br />
FunctionThatFailes();<br />
target.Text += source.Text;<br />
}<br />
<br />

{<br />
if (previousTarget != null) {<br />
previousTarget.ForeColor = SystemColors.WindowText;<br />
previousTarget.BackColor = SystemColors.Window;<br />
previousTarget = null;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void treeView1_DragOver(object sender, DragEventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
ResetPreviousTarget();<br />
<br />
if (e.Data.GetData(typeof(TreeNode)) != treeView1.SelectedNode) {<br />
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
TreeNode target = treeView1.GetNodeAt(<br />
treeView1.PointToClient(Control.MousePosition));<br />
if (target == null || target == treeView1.SelectedNode) {<br />
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None;<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Move;<br />
<br />
if (target == previousTarget) {<br />
return;<br />
}<br />
<br />
previousTarget = target;<br />
<br />
target.ForeColor = SystemColors.InactiveCaptionText;<br />
target.BackColor = SystemColors.InactiveCaption;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
treeView1.AllowDrop = true;<br />
}<br />
<br />
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
FunctionThatFailes();<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}

Just a guess, but the .NET framework may contain error handling for drag and drop to prevent anything horrible from occuring; for if an exception occurred during drag and drop, you would end up corrupting cross-process OLE data transfers; the source application may think you're still trying to perform a drag and drop even though an error has occurred and the drag is not continuing.
