Thank a bunch for helping me out. Quick question though.
In my main app I'm creating an instance of the appSettingsMemory class.
appSettingsMemory settings = new appSettingsMemory();
Then, just doing this for all the properties:
settings.MenuOptions.ShowCheckMargin = ...
On exit, I'm saving settings:
settings.DumpToFile(settings);
This is working fine. It's saving all the data to the file (for each of my properties).
Problem is loading. When I load the settings, none of my program's options are getting set to what they are in the XML file.
I'm doing a settings.Load() before I run my routine that sets the program's options to their value.
this.Location = settings.WindowLocations.Main;
etc..

Edit:
Scratch that I see what's happening now. I have to set that new instance to what Load() returns. Great, it's all working perfectly now. Thx again, looking forward to your article.

I have a form with several components. After I selected options from couple of listboxes i then click on a button to perform an infinite loop. my problem is that while the application still running, i want to make a new choice of my option, and then hit the run button again. but since im application is in a loop it doesn't response spontaneously to my action on the form.
What is a good way to solve this kind of problem?

If you want your UI thread to stay responsive, then you will have to put your loop in a separate thread.

This looks like a typical case which multitherading can play a role in. Here is my take and see if it makes sense.
When you click the "run" (which I call it) button, start a thread. Place the infinite loop in the thread function. This should guarantee that the form still responds to your click while the infinite loop is looping.
In order for your infinite loop to accept new selections made by the user, there should be some data exchange between the main thread and your looping thread. This has to be done through some thread synchronization mechanisms, say, critical section or mutex.
In short, multithreading is a good way to solve your problem.
Best,
Jun

thank you. I was leaning toward multithread. but im surprised because in vb5 (which is older) we don't need to worry about this kinda problem.

What? If VB5 didn't have this 'problem', then it's because the loop was being run on a different thread behind the scenes. It's not really a problem; if you think about it logically, it's a natural outcome: one thread is flooded with work, so it cannot be bothered to do other tasks such as repainting the control or responding to user input. Therefore, long running tasks should not be run on the UI thread if you want a responsive UI.

Have you try putting Application.DoEvents() in the loop?

I have datagrid with a dataset set as the DataSource. I have added a X number of tables to the dataset, but when I view my datagrid it shows all the tables in the datagrid but I can only view the first table. The other tables don't show when I click or navigate onto them.
How do I get it to open or view the other tables?
<br />
DataSet dataset = new DataSet("Sms Report");<br />
dataset.Tables.Add(sendItemsTable);<br />
<br />
packagesTables = new DataTable[sendItemsTable.Rows.Count];<br />
for(int i = 0; i < distinctPackagesTable.Rows.Count; i++)<br />
{<br />
packagesTables[0] =
}<br />
<br />
if(packagesTables.Length > 0)<br />
dataset.Tables.AddRange(packagesTables);<br />
<br />
dataset.AcceptChanges();<br />
<br />
dataGrid.DataSource = dataset;<br />
dataGridStyle1.MappingName = dataGrid.DataMember;<br />
dataGrid.Expand(0);<br />

I would like to automating Team Foundation Server to have a console app get the latest on a list of projects.
Does anyone have a link on achieving this task?
1 line of code equals many bugs. So don't write any!!

Hello I was wondering if in C# we have something equivalent to this timer loop:
'loop for .1 second
Duration! = Timer + 0.1
Do Until Timer > Duration!
Dummy = DoEvents()
Loop

I don't know what behavior that produces in VB5, thankfully. 
I imagine something like this might do:
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(0);
That suspends the current thread to allow waiting threads to execute
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(100);
That specifies a "minimum" of 100 milliseconds but it could be longer I believe.
If I get flamed for answering a VB question you owe me!  Last modified: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 10:13:30 AM --

how to add dynamic control in C#.net and how to store dynamic textbox control value to the database.
|

Hi gurus!
How do I get values from a list view control. The view is set to details. I want to get the values from the list and dump them into variables. I have tried the "GetItemAt( x, y )" method and the "HitTest( x, y )" methods, but both give me the following error:
System.NullReferanceException: Object referance not set to an instance of an object" 
I use the following code
for(int iNum = 0; iNum < list1.Items.Count; iNum++)
{
ListViewItem selection = list1.GetItemAt(0, iNum);
string str = selection.Text;
// And then I write the values to the database
}
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Kind greetings!

That error happens when something isn't initialized. Your best bet is to debug and step through the application and check the values of the list view before you call one of those. Also, potentially, you might not have initialized the list view itself.

GetItemAt is not throwing the exception, selection.Text is. GetItemAt expects client coordinates (i.e. where the mouse cursor is). Use list1.Items and list1.Items[x].SubItems to access the values.

hello, I`m using this code, but it return files in alphabetic order, I need to list those files in date modified order.
string winDir = "../katalogas";
try
{
string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(winDir);
foreach (string fileName in files)
{
//
//
}
}
catch (IOException ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Klaida! Nerandamas formų katalogas." + ex.Message);
Close();
}
}

I believe that it doesn't return the files in any specific order at all. They just happen to be ordered alphabetically in the directory. Probably because you have moved the folder (as that creates a new folder and moves the files) or have run defrag (which sorts the files in the directories).
You need to get more information about the files than just the name. Use DirectoryInfo.GetFiles to get FileInfo-object for the files.
Make a Comparer for two FileInfo-objects that compares the property you want to sort on, and use that in the Array.Sort method.

Can anyone help solve the following problem
Create a console application that prints all possible combinations of the number from 1 - 9 that equals 10. IE 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=10 AND 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+2=10 etc..
rules that apply:
3 + 7 = 10 and 7 + 3 = 10... both is not allowed, only one of those sums are required.
how do you do it?

By reading back over you notes from class, and refering to the course material you have been given.
ie/ do you own homework! Or at very least show us what you've tried and what specific problem you are having!
