Ok, I found where I'm going wrong with my code. I have to use them as a string.
So,
this.textBox1.Text = regKey.GetValue("server").ToString();
This works for me fine, in form load the correct value is displayed on the text box. But gives a warning says
The variable 'regKey' is either undeclared or was never assigned.
And also I found one funny thing. Suddenly after doing some design modification, the textBox1 text set to empty as
this.textBox1.Text = "";
This is happened automatically. Why is that. In compile time I don't get any error at all. I'm really worried about it.... 
I appreciate your help all the time...

hello friend,
u may combine your code and donot need to store value on a variable like regkey. Like this :
TextBox1.Text = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Test\\MyTest", true).GetValue("server").ToString();
OK.

Best of Luck.

Initially I though about it, but not tested. Because say I put more texboxes later, say all together there is 5 boxes. So I have open a same registry key 5 time. Is that ok.
After the line
dipak.dipak wrote: TextBox1.Text = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Test\\MyTest", true).GetValue("server").ToString();
I can't do,
Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Test\\MyTest", true).Close();
because such logics are not allowed in InitializeComponent(), isn't it?
I appreciate your help all the time...

Yeah, u r right. If u didnot initialize that component than why r u going to close?
As u said : "put more texboxes later, say all together there is 5 boxes. So I have open a same registry key 5 time."
than u may retrive the registry value once and store in a String variable and set text of other textboxes.
String strRegVal = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\\Test\\MyTest", true).GetValue("server").ToString();
TextBox1.Text = strRegVal;
TextBox2.Text = strRegVal;
TextBox3.Text = strRegVal;
TextBox4.Text = strRegVal;
TextBox5.Text = strRegVal;
Is it OK as u want?
Best of Luck.

Yes it's true. But I'm still wired on it pal. Say I want to display five different registry values, that mean I have five different names. So I have to use five sub keys in your way. Isn't it?
By the way I tried one way. As usual write a separate function to set the initial values on to text boxes and call that function in form load. What you think of it. There is no any warnings either.
I appreciate your help all the time...

You really shouldn't do this in the InitializeComponent method as it's likely to get erased. It's safe to hardcode a value in there i.e. this.textBox1.Text = "Initial Text";.
When you modify your form in the designer, let's say you add a text box, the VS rewrites the InitializeComponent adding your new text box to it and setting some basic property values. It does the same anytime you modify a property in the designer. When it does this, the whole method is rewritten and any changes you made will most likely get erased in the process.
Before the InitializeComponent method there is this to warn you:
#region Windows Form Designer generated code
You should put your code either in the constructor after the call to InitializeComponent, or better still, in a seperate method to be called afterwards.
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
OtherInitializations();
}
private void OtherInitializations()
{
this.textBox1.Text = regKey.GetValue("server").ToString();
}
}

Yes,
That's what I have done on my last post. As far as I feel, I can edit only the initial properties of controls, without using the Properties window.
Only I can't put any logic there. Isn't it.
I appreciate your help all the time...

Yes, that's correct. Any properties that can be set in the properties window AND the values that can be entered there will be OK. Anything else you should do in your own method or in the constructor AFTER InitializeComponent

I was looking for an application that will monitor how much traffic I send and receive via the internet only.
Most of the programs I looked at had far more features than I need (though NetLimiter was very nice). I thought this might be a good opportunity to try writing my own.
However I am not really sure where to start.
What classes would let me look at the internet traffic and record the size of each inbound/outbound packet?
I have heard mention of something called winPcap, but not really sure how to use it.
Any pointers appreciated...

Here is the format:
$75 3/2/2008
How do I find just the second and third character? The 75 ?
|
|
|
|

Well, the simplest, and least flexible way is to get the second and third characters out of the string, perhaps like this:
string sNumber = listboxitem.SubString(1,2);
int iNumber;
Int32.TryParse(sNumber, ref iNumber);
I might have got the params for TryParse wrong, but thats the easiest way to do it.
Of course if the number went to 3 digits it wouldn't get the whole number.

for (int z = 0; z < PaidToDateListbox.Items.Count; z++)
{
int count = 0;
string thenumber = PaidToDateListbox.Items[z].ToString();
int length = thenumber.Length - 3;
thenumber.Remove(3, length);
thenumber.Remove(0, 1);
count = count + Convert.ToInt32(thenumber);
}
This is what I had and I get this error:
Input string was not in correct format.

Hi,
1.
string.Remove() does not modify the string, it returns a new string, so you should
write thenumber=thenumber.Remove(3, length); etc.
That is because strings are immutable, nothing in .NET can modify them.
2.
If you are only interested in part of a string, string.Substring() is the method you want,
hence thenumber=thenumber.Substring(1, 2); holds the second and third char.

Are you trying to just show the 2nd and 3rd characters in the list box, or get the 2nd and 3rd chars of the selected text in the list box?
If the latter, try the following:
<br />
string selectedText = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();<br />
textBox1.Text = selectedText.Substring(1,2);<br />
<br />
<br />
char[] selectedTextChars = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString().ToCharArray();<br />
textBox1.Text = selectedTextChars[1].ToString() + selectedTextChars[2].ToString();<br />
There could well be a better ways though. This way will give you problems if the format changes, or it goes to three digits.
Hope that helps...

It is a list box that my wife will enter an amount that the parents paid for daycare.. She will enter the amount next to the date in the list box like this: $75 3/2/2008
Then what I want to do is I have a text box below it that will add the amount (money) together and give a total amount. So I have to extract the second and third character (number) and convert it to a integer.
This was when there are multiple ones I can add them together.

Hello, This is an example :
int intTotal = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < DropDownList1.Items.Count; i++)
{
intTotal += Convert.ToInt16(DropDownList1.Items[i].Text.Substring(1, 2));
}
It is OK.
I have tested it.
Best of Luck.

Dear Friends:
I am using c# Interop/(Platform Invoke) to call Win32 function GetSystemInfo(...). My computer is Windows XP profession Service Pack 2. The declaration is as follows:
[DllImport("Kernel32.lib")]
static extern void GetSystemInfo(ref SYSTEM_INFO systInfo);
The Kernel32.dll is located in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386. The original location might be in C:\WINDOWS\system32. I set the environmental variable Path = C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386. When I run my program, the error message says "Unable to load DLL 'Kernel32.lib': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)". I then copied the Kernel32.dll to C:\WINDOWS\system32. The same error message popped out. I then copied Kernel32.dll to my prgram's subdirectory. The same message came out. I can use other Win32 functions without problem, such as NetWkstaGetInfo(..l) in Netapi32.dll. Anybody can help? I appreciate your kind help.

Its because your asking for Kernel32.lib rather than Kernel32.dll
Simple as that. I think.

Yep, SKGenius is right, a lib is not a dll.
And you should not worry too much about where the dll is, Windows typically will
find the standard dll's for you without you giving a path.

Source: mscorlib
Inner Exception:
Target: Void FileNotOpen()
Message: Cannot access a closed file.
I keep getting this error and can not figure it out.. I am actually opening a certain file and writing to it, then opening another one then writing to it and so on. Should I not be doing this? Is this causing maybe them not opening in time before it tries to write to them?
FileStream ChildFile = new FileStream(thepath + @"Child\Child.daycare", FileMode.Create);
StreamWriter Childsw = new StreamWriter(ChildFile);
Childsw.WriteLine(fullnameTextbox.Text);
Childsw.WriteLine(birthTextbox.Text);
Childsw.WriteLine(startTextbox.Text);
ChildFile.Close();
Childsw.Close();
FileStream GuardianFile = new FileStream(thepath + @"Guardian\ParentGuardian.daycare", FileMode.Create);
StreamWriter Guardiansw = new StreamWriter(GuardianFile);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(guardNameTextbox.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(relationTextbox.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(textBox1.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(CityStateZipTextbox.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(EmployTextbox.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(Guard2Textbox.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(Relation2Textbox.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(Address2Textbox.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(CityStateZip2Textbox.Text);
Guardiansw.WriteLine(Employ2Textbox.Text);
GuardianFile.Close();
Guardiansw.Close();
There are more.. but should I be doing this a different way?

When you create one stream from another you should first close the newly created one and then the base one. So this snippet
FileStream ChildFile = new FileStream(thepath + @"Child\Child.daycare", FileMode.Create);
StreamWriter Childsw = new StreamWriter(ChildFile);
Childsw.WriteLine(fullnameTextbox.Text);
Childsw.WriteLine(birthTextbox.Text);
Childsw.WriteLine(startTextbox.Text);
ChildFile.Close();
Childsw.Close();
should be like this:
FileStream ChildFile = new FileStream(thepath + @"Child\Child.daycare", FileMode.Create);
StreamWriter Childsw = new StreamWriter(ChildFile);
Childsw.WriteLine(fullnameTextbox.Text);
Childsw.WriteLine(birthTextbox.Text);
Childsw.WriteLine(startTextbox.Text);
Childsw.Close();
ChildFile.Close();
Also, use using block with streams so that they will be closed and disposed automatically
