Lets say i was going to look for a job as a developer in the .NET framework, what would be a higher chance of seeing in the workplace, Winform or WPF? Also thanks for the great pointers!

I see what you mean! And that sounds great to be honest.
Quick question.. I just got told that I should drop WinForms because its dead and outdated and move on to WPF.. The thing is that I've been learning C# for about 6 months now and it just feels like I've learned it for no other reason than to be told that I need to drop it and learn something new. I would need an honest opinion about this, do i drop WinForms and start with WPF?

I gave you 5 stars because yes, not understanding the code makes it really hard to understand what to covnert etc, I can see the logic behind the code but yeah you had some good points.. And why I would like to convert it is because I have my voice recognition application made in a WinForm and I would like to add the light switch functions to it. But I guess thats not going to happend, in most likley going to drop this project now and maybe look at some other lightbulbs that has a better documentaion when it comes to C#, or well.. something that is more broad.

Thanks for the answer!

Im assuming you are talking about

private void Client_DeviceDiscovered(object sender, LifxNet.LifxClient.DeviceDiscoveryEventArgs e)
{
var _ = Dispatcher.RunAsync(Windows.UI.Core.CoreDispatcherPriority.Normal, () =>
{
var bulb = e.Device as LifxNet.LightBulb;
if (!bulbs.Contains(bulb))
bulbs.Add(bulb);
});
}

Thank you for the quick answer! I really appriciate it like really!

Here is the thing..
I found this in the code and it is locating the bulbs

ObservableCollection<LifxNet.LightBulb> bulbs = new ObservableCollection<LifxNet.LightBulb>();
LifxNet.LifxClient client = null;

Now I added that and the needed references but what do I do now? Do I add the "bulbs" to a listbox?

Very informitive answer but I went with my own method.. It might not be the best but it works and I'm not having any issues with it what so ever.. This is what I did..

I create this outside of my function, in the class space.

and then this in my tick event..

if(blink == 1){
blink = 2;
label1.text = textbox1.Text;
} else {
blink = 1;
label1.text = textbox2.Text;
}

Would you mind explaining the second solution a bit more? I wanted to accomplish something like that in the beginning but since I've never used a mthod like that it was kinda hard to explain.

So I start of by creating a variable that will hold the value of the current clipboard text, then what?

And dont get me wrong, the other solution with the variable sounds amazing, simple and yet very good, the thing is I wouldnt know where to go after createing the variable that would store the value.

I never stated that mine was better, I simply didnt think that putting that much work into somthing simple would be benefitial in the future, Im sure its great but since I dont understand how p/invoke works it would take me alot longer to create this simple project. Wouldnt you agree?

I would have to invoke and lots of other stuff.. I went with this method..

private void clipboardUpdater_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!richTextBox1.Text.Contains(Clipboard.GetText()))
{
richTextBox1.Text += "\n" + Clipboard.GetText();
}
}


Much easier

Kinda.. One of them was to create a int and hold it and use it later

const int min = 60000; more than that I didnt really understand thats why I went with the other method.

Also with the method im using right now, it wont let me kill 2 processes at the same time, they interfear somehow, but if you would like to explain your methods a bit more I would love to read it and maybe try them out and see what works for the better because this is the general thought of the application.



Imagine you have an application with 4 text boxes and 3 buttons
Like this

[Button1][Textbox1] [Textbox2]
[Button2][Textbox3] [Textbox4]
[Button3]

When user presses button1 it opens a filedialog and lets the user select a program (the user is me)
when the user presses okay or select it closes the filedialog and enters the file url into textbox1

the user can input a value on textbox 2 to let the application know how long the file from the file url should be open.

when the user presses the button 3 it starts the file in the file url and waits the ammount of time that the user put in to textbox 2 and then closes the software

same logic applies to [Button2][Textbox3] [Textbox4]


What would be a better approach because mine is kinda working now, its messing up with the [Button2][Textbox3] [Textbox4] but yeah, if you have any better idea I would love to hear it

Thank you so much I understand now.
What worked was this

Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(timeOne));

I converted the users input into minutes instead of milliseconds with the use of TimeSpan.FromMinutes

What worked was this

Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(timeOne));

I converted the users input into minutes instead of milliseconds

I see what you mean but how would it connect to the users input in Thread.Sleep(timeOne);

I see what you mean but how would it connect to the users input in Thread.Sleep(timeOne);

Really? It gets so confusing when you've nver worked with this type of stuff before :p , so just timeOne * 60 * minutes?

I want the users input to be converted, will update my code above!

ManyCam Virtual Webcam (32), it happend to be the only software on my desktop hehe

Isnt there some other way I could approach this? because killing the process is good, but it can only kill the process if its an EXE right? What if its a java launcher? like with the extension of Shortcut (.lnk)

It worked, do you think it was the software?

Oooh! It was missing the namespace!

I tried that and it gave me this error
Error CS0103 The name 'Path' does not exist in the current

Okay so I tried your exact code and it still gives me this error.

Well it runs.. until I press the start button and it gets down to the part where it needs to kill the process.

I did but I dont want to hardcode my application everytime I need to open a different EXE, thats why I have the browse button and the openfile dialog

I removed the timer, there is no timer

I want to kill the process because this is the point of the application..

1. I start the application.. I select UP TO 5 EXE's on my computer..
2. They run for a certain ammount of time (What the user puts into the textbox that is hooked up to the Thread.Sleep();)
3. when the time has run out it closes(kills) the applications.

Did you mean this?

I will have other threads and if I would code the whole timer process it would be alot more code, im just trying to do it as profficient as possible.

If I create a UWP app, and target it for the pc, wont it look really weird on the mobile?

I dont know if this makes a difference, if it makes the code better or worse but im pulling all the MD5 hashes from a textfile on my computer as you can see in the code and that textfile includes 26.000 hash codes which looks like this.

My friend told me to store them in memory instead of using a text document

Thank you so much that made things alot more clear! You said that " string[] displayStringArrays = null; " isnt necessary, could I remove the whole line?

Its actually alright, I had a friend who helped me write this new line of code, It can now detect any of the lines, hard to explain but il create a new question soon because there were some stuff I didnt understand, going to try to read up about it first. Will be back soon

Is there anyway to bypass that? What would the correct term be for getting passeds something like that so I can read up about it!

Also, it does work now but I need to make it loop through because it only detects if its the first one, if the user were to input another line maybe line 4 it wouldnt recognize it because its not looping through..

This is what my loop looks like right now il update the question.

Ooh! I wasnt refering to the "value" which in this case was shown by ".Text" sorry for my non programatical terms, but I see the difference!

Also, as long as its ".Texr" it can read anything right ? even special characters like "?" and "@" right? Since Int can only store numbers and string can only store characters like "a,b,c" and text can store anything from "a - 9 - @" right?

I think I know what you mean but how do I make is so I compare what the user puts into the listText to the displayArrayString?

I thought I was comparing thier values.

also, I updates my question a bit.

Thank you for explaining! updated my question a bit aswell.

This sounds like the easier solution, and I like things to be cleana nd simple, but how would I make the code compare the hash file that I compute with the one from my text file? I have a text file with over 26k hashes that is going to be compares, so my goal is to compare the hash that I compute with the hashes from the text file, do you understand?

I've been looking around, is there any other method you could recommend for me? instead of the one that I am using?

Good point! Will keep that in mind!

About the " // ... report problem to user " comment im going to work on that, and for my comments, they explain what the line under them does, I dont know it made sense to me.

i.e

string path = txtFilePath.Text; is just holding the path to the file that we are going to scan later on, If thats not corrent I've got my whole coding idea messed up.

If you got time feelf ree to check out my answer, Its still suing your code but it will be alot easier to change it to make it more unique to fit my software in the fuutre now that I understand :-)

Its so much easier to understand when its visually presented to you like this, I will use this concept to create my own unique way of doing the same thing, thanks Griff!

I am doing that.. In a way.. I have an extension list in a string with extensions such as *.rar, *.jpg etc etc

Basically it doesnt restart the loop

Thats what I am doing right now, it deletes files until it hits the error, it doesnt show an error message it just stops the action. Its kinda weird

Wont work since the temp files gain new folders everyday. I just added the continue; to the loop

Wow.. That looks scary, see I've never seen that code before which makes me not understand any of it, Im sure it works but could you go through it quicky?

Also, I am developing this in a WinForm application, The general idea was that I could put some code into the label which allows me or the user to use like ALT + (any key) or just pressing something like (F1) to stop the program, not close it down just stop what its doing which i could add once I know how to do the shortcut key thing.

Here is an example of what I am trying to do (its not minecraft though)

https://i.gyazo.com/4206af095071f393f8dca99626d9da0d.png

I have my software covering the game basically.

What do you mean? If you are talking about where its pulling the data from its

public class BtcTradeTicker
{
public tradeTicker tradeTicker { get; set; }
}


public class tradeTicker
{
public int date { get; set; }
public double price { get; set; }
public double amount { get; set; }
public int tid { get; set; }
public string price_currency { get; set; }
public string item { get; set; }
public string trade_type { get; set; }
}

Well, it says that response.Data is null when debugging on this line (which is the line with the issue)

textBox1.Text = Convert.ToString(response.Data.tradeTicker.price);

It might be because I am trying to parse an Array through an Object

I think its trying to parse an Array through an object, would you mind getting on TeamViewer with me and check it out? I completly understand if you dont want to / have time, its just that I've been at this for about 48 hours now.

"SimpleBrowser has no user interface, so does not load any images, CSS stylesheets etc. For the performance this is an advantage, but of course, it comes with disadvantages as well. Oprations like scrolling and tests for visibility mean little to SimpleBrowser."

Currently trying out SimpleBrowser, seems to be giving me a hard time, il keep reading the GitHub

Im thinking about "SimpleBrowser" but not sure about it yet.

Okay, I found the solution for the "real time updater", instead of pulling thw wrong CssSelector I started pulling
FindElements(By.CssSelector("tbody tr"));
Now its pulling whats on top of the table at all times

before I just pulled what was currently on top with
getTopFive.FindElements(By.CssSelector("[data-symbol='NASDAQ:SIRI']"));

Dont get me wrong I still dont understand the CssSelector, and I couldnt find any documents about it, what im going to do now is read more about elements.

Also, the last question was more about teaching me how to actually pull data which I didnt know before. Now I need to know how to pull data correctly.

Here is where I think you are wrong, no disrespect, its just that the last question I had, it got answered, which made me progress to the state the software is in right now, There is nothing wrong with the software, its fully functional its pulling data etc, but its not pulling it correctly, Not sure what you mean about the timer, the timer I added is just a clock that I have on the software, it has nothing what so ever to do with the scraping part, the scraping starts under

private void label11_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

a bit down the code, Im not ignoring the help, I got help with the last bug, its just that it fixed it but not in the way I really wanted it in, which probably doesnt make any sense what so ever but I can assure you that the last question is very different from this one.

Im not taking any offense, I understand that it can be hard to work with me when im being lazy typer let alone when im tired, I could indeed explain more in-depth but I felt so exhausted after being up for a very long time and I just didnt feel like being so in depth because this is the last forum I come to when I need help because I feel like im overdoing it here with all the questions im posting, so after being at around 4 different ones with no answers or nothing, its just such a bummer that when I come here and I try to explain my issue it just turns into weird blurryness. But I guess the real question I wanted a answer too which was confusing me the most is.

Lets say I have the code

IList<iwebelement> movies = getTopFive.FindElements(By.CssSelector("[itemprop='url']"));

for (int i = 0 ; i < 20 ; ++i)
{
activeTextBox.Text = movies[i].Text;
}


Im having a hard time understainding how to use the "FindElements(By.CssSelector("[itemprop='url']"));" How would I know that itemprop='url is a CssSelector for example, same goes for By.Id or By.TagName

An answer to your answer: Im actually trying to pull data from a stock website so I can add real time stock changes inside my software at this point, its really hard to explain without showing anything visually

What is a good "second option" to the "z-order" what would I want to use to display other panels?

Also, I set all my panels to visable = false in the properties in VS

I would show you the software and the functionalities and my thoughts on how I built it if i could but unfortunatly I dont know a way that I could do that.

Ooh! yeah that makes sense! But my code is working as it is now and its the one showed under where it say "So here is the code"

I got to say, your version looked alot more "Clean" How come mine is still working though?

On my mostActive_Click I only have

activePan.Visible = true;
gainpan.Visible = false;

and it still shows the Panel correctly

Once im done with this il post an article about it :-)

It will! As soon as im done with this I will take my time to read up upon the subject, At the same time as im starting some WPF projects!

Never mind I got it working, I removed the automated background feature and went with <img src=""> instead, sure it doesnt look as nice but it works.

These are the times where I wish I could Teamview with you but never the less, I forgot to update the code to my current one, The issue is that the button is hiding behind the Background images
https://gyazo.com/54fa47aca79468f1b73f985f038763d2 here is an example on what it looks like

Here is the thing, I've tried the different methods there, didnt help, I need to understand why its pushing down the content on the website such as the background and not being positioned over the background layer of the website

Are you good with HTML & CSS?

Hey btw! Are you good with HTML & css?

I will get in to WPF forms, im reading about it at this moment and the more I think about it, it feels like it will some how be the easiest way to go in the long run

Yeah I can understand that! :-)

Also I know some xml but not too much, Does it take long to learn how to create slim and flat UI design with XML? Like is there alot to learn in that field?

So you would still recommend me to use WPF?

Thank you sir! I will go through the list! Im so glad to know that this is possible!

Sorry for being so unclear sir.

1. Do I need to use Bunifu.NET to create a flat UI design such as being showed in the video posted in the question.

2. I feel like using a WPF application instead of a Windows Form Application would be alot of time waste when creating the same software but you can get to the design part much easier and faster, i.e
Lets say I had Bunifu.NET and used the same method they used in the video to create a similar Windows Form Application, it goes alot faster then creating everything with xml in the WPF.

So my question is.

Could I create the same type of design (The Flat UI) looking design without going through the hassle of using xml and WPF (Its really not that im trying to weasle my way through extra work its just that I perfer Windows Form Application) even though its lacking the UI design part which WPF provides.

And for the third question, If you can create the same looking design the (Flat Ui) look, is there any other (Free) extensions I ould use (IfI need an extention that is)

I didnt know it was considered spam, I would be glad to close this question once I get an answer.

I dont want to get into web development since thats kind of what im doing right now with C# as a side project, (Was afraid of kicking off with it) So what im going to do now is that I will start getting into Java and Android applications! Thanks so much for the words!
-BL

Once again very inspiring! And I totally agree with what you are saying, and I do know that this is not an easy field, I guess it could be easier if I took more stepps into it instead of sitting around and thinking how I can tackle the fact that I dont feel like C# will get me anywhere, I am currently freelancing with Design & some C# projects but it doesnt seem like alot of people are in need of C#, might just me who feel like that. And Im not going to recreate facebook, that would be too hard and too long of a journey, I simply want to be able to create multi cross platform apps, For both the PC (Windows obv.) and for Android, and then maybe dive into iOS, but if I just sit around and try to tackle the fact that I cant get over C# instead of doing something productive I am not going to get anywhere, So im pretty sure I will have to take this on me and actually move on from here. I'l be back if I ever need some more help! Thanks again!
-BL

Once again you help me alot! Im sorry if it seemed like i was blaming the language, but as the matter of fact, thats exactly what I do, it feels like it is me who is stopping myself from progressing as a programmer, I want to be able to learn more about the popular stuff, like what is really popular now in the programming market, what is something that everyone needs, im not trying to become the next facebook creator, I have a really big dream but im taking very small stepps, which is perfecrly fine by me, but sometimes I feel like Im capable of learning more but I cant because I dont know where to start, Like I really want to get into android app development but I tried doing it in C# which was a bad choise because it was really hard since its not the most efficient way of programming android apps, the most efficient language is Java im pretty sure, Sergey, Would you recommend Android app development with Java for me? I want to progress as a programmer, and I find that field very interessting but im not sure how much it would benefit me, not sure how many people there are that needs android apps.

Also you are a huge inspiration to me.

The link that you sent me I tested that out before I came here, It didnt do anything, Il try isntalling WndDbg.

Thank you sir!

One crucial question before I start, To use your code I can see that it doesnt contain a static main method suitable for an entry point. Do I just use your concept and make something that has the same outcome or do I use you code just like copy & paste it into a Console Application?

Thank you so much for all the information! This is going to be a blast!

Looks like this will be a hard one! Mostly because when I look at the code I dont understand anything, well some aprts I understand but I'l try to read up about Enumeration for the next couple of hours & then I'l start working on the problem solving! Thanks for prividing me with this!

Thank you sir!

I would love that! That sounds like tons of fun!

How would I "Change to work better" if I may ask? Yeah I accedently posted on my own post, Iw as very tierd, my bad!

Thank you for the response, I dont think you know this but im in my 3rd month of C# OOP & your answer was pretty helpful il look into StringBuilder

@Sergey Alexandrovich Kryukov How would you rate this code? Do you have anything I can compare it with?

& When I say simple, I mean like basic stuff, as you caan see, The way im learning is by making something REALLY simple & thendeveloping it to something big, makes code stick easier for me.

Its working perfectly, now I need to tweak it be be better, like not stack directly after each other etc, like make a list in the text box.

Well.. This is what I got so far.

for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)

{

}
}

}
}

Thank you sir! (Once again!)

Hey, I'm not sure on where to get a hold of you so I'l just ask you here, I want to create a random string in c#, I know how to do the code for that but to make it save to a notepad, for example.. My software outputs 100 random strings, then if I want it to save to a notepad, what is that called "programaticlly speaking" I'm not sure what I would look for on google when trying to learn that.

Also, when I say "Create a bot" I dont mean a full on bot that automates big tasks, maybe just some sort of sorter or organizer.

Thank you sir! I'm starting to understand the basics, feels like I've gone too fast for myself, sure I've learned some "Complex" stuff, but what is complex if its not my "Own" work, Sure I looked at some code, modified it & made it to something else but with the same uses, What I'm going to try to do in the future is creating something that doesnt exist but could be useful, Say.. There are alot of bots out there that automates stuff for the user, that seems really interesting to me, do you think thats a field I should approach? Creating some sort of bot that doesnt exist or is in Open Source & try to make my own?

Thanks for the links aswell!

I am not working on this project at the moment it was just an idea, I created a new question about my new project & I understand what you are saying.

I like things being really complicated that means that I can read up about it, I hate hitting a wall when it comes to programming its never fun being stuck. What my plan was to use the FolderBrowserDialog connected to Process.Start, for example, people press the button > Brings up the FolderBrowserDialog > user presses a game > it gets saved to Process.Start("letsSayIHaveAVariableHoldingTheValueOfTheExeThatTheUserSelects"); & it saves it.

Simply what I meant was that I want to find somewhere where I can read up on the subject, Since im still learning I would like to look at some code and get the general idea on how it was built I want to see the code & understand it. I cant write a software if I dont understand what im doing, I cant speak italian if I dont know what im saying. Get my point?

Alright, well il try to get it working anyways!

Oh! I didnt think it through that far, thanks for the information!

Hey Sergey welcome to the discussion, I wanna have fun aswell! :p
& I am not that familiar with GitHub but I am pretty sure that my client wont be able to see how the website actually looks like, or am I wrong?

I uploaded a album with images of the website to imgur I will just send him the link to the album, thanks again!

I would but I am not going to put down the time nor the money to showcase it to a single client

Haha I really need to work on my skills on how I express myself :D

What is going on is that he wanted me to provide him with a "Demo of a website"
not a full on one, so he can& overlook it and see some of its features, What do you think would be the best thing to do here? Provide my client with imgur links to show what it looks like, it doesnt give my client the feel of the webstie but will still manage to understand.

mny client cant open rar files & he wanted it to be as a link so he could go through it, I tried to explain that he could just use winrar & open the index.html but he still wanted me to upload it to a link

Oh! I'l use this answer as a reminder so I can remember that next time! Thank you for explaining!

Oh one more thing.. This is probably a really dumb question but I feel like it needs to be asked, How come I cant have that code snipped the
-----------------------------------------------------
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){

$('#sidebar-btn').click(function(){
$('#sidebar').addClass('visible');

});
});
</script>
-----------------------------------------------------
on the top of my code, it only works when its inside of the bod... ooh.. well I think I just answered my own question.

Oh my.. Im kinda new to JQuery Ive been working on this project for the past 9-10 or so hours.. getting tunnel vision. Thanks alot sir!

Will do! Thanks for the help! :D

My bad I should of accepted a solution, I fixed it!

Im pretty sure I know how to check the console for erroe I need the firefox plugin first & the console didnt show any errors.

I think there is an issue in my code, something is not activating the JQuery functions

http://imgur.com/jHzExKb

as you can see the JQuery code is just white.

Thank you so much sir!

Im sorry if im asking alot of questions and taking up your time but I have this script in my code which should allow me to use JQuery but for some reason it doesnt want to let me


<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.min.js"></script>

What could be the issue? I've tried refeering my code to the file in my folder but it doesnt want to work o:

I understand! & this is going to be embarrassing.. Thats not a plugin I made that, sure it took around 7 hours including research and alot of misstakes but I managed to do it!

Thank you sir! Would you by any chance know why its hiding under the pictures of my
<!-- Full Width Responsive Slider -->
when its not commented out? How would I bring it up ontop of it? Would I have to use JQuery?

Fixed it!

Oh! That explains alot! Thankyou sir!

I got it working horizontally now I will have to get it to work vertically.
Essentially what I did was that I changed

*{padding: 0; margin: 0;}
body {font-family: Sans-Serif;}
img {max-width: 100%;}
.cycle-slideshow {

with


html,body,img {padding: 0; margin: 0;height:100%;width:100%}
body {font-family: Sans-Serif;}

.container{height:100%;width:100%;overflow: hidden;}
.cycle-slideshow {
height: 100%;

Was that a good idea or is ther a "better" "Cleaner" way?

Both unfortunately

Okay! So it works when I do this.

1). Go To http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js
2). Right click the page and "Save As"
3). Saving it as a .js file

But why..

Okay so Im not sure that I am adding the JQuery file correct what I do is that I go on here
1). http://jquery.com/download/
2). http://code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.js
3). I copy everything that appears in that window, I paste it in a notepad & save it as a jquery.js file then adding it to my DIrectory where I have all my website files then I redirect it to it with this code.
4).<script src="jquery.js"></script>

You solution worked when I implimented the Web API but I just want to know how to to the "Offline" Version aswell.

Thank you sir! That worked perfectly! I am not sure why my jQuery file didnt work I just got it off thier website. :/

Thank you so much sir! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Now I have a goal to follow. It can become hard at times being self taught at times. Im so happy there are people like you!

Thank you for everything! This is as close to as it will get to identifying my issue. I will follow this guide & also read up on the other stuff, it all seemed really interesting, thanks!

Wow! This was more then I was looking for, dont get me wrong I ame xtreamly greatful with what you have supplied for me. I start reading up about this & see how much I can get done before I hit they hay.
Thanks again!

Thank you for being patient & I am not really good with explaining myself because I can see it so very clear in my head but when it comes to putting it to words its a bit harder.

Yes, All the *.exe files
at the moment I am working with this code

OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog();
ofd.InitialDirectory = @"c:";
if (ofd.ShowDialog() == true)
ofd.Filter = "*.exe";

Its far away from being complete & it is not even the "purpose" I want to use for this type of Application I want it to display a box with a list of all the (*.exe) files installed on the pc for exaple.
When you get prompted on how to open a new file for example a .vbs file. It always gives you the option to choose from a list & then you get to choose which one you would like to use.
I would love to be avalible to activate that same list type from my software.

Or this is even a better example. (If you have ever used cheat engine.)
http://imgur.com/Uv4isWE

When you press the computer icon at the top left corner of the software (Cheat Engine) it prompts you with that list type (All the exe's installed or running on your machine)

I am trying to recreate something similar with my software, The only thing is I think im headed the wrong direction I am kinda new to that "field" in programming. I spend most of my time making SoundBoards, NotePads with databases etc.

I am teribly sorry about how I asked the question, maybe I should of put it like this instead.

When creating my WPF Application* (Not form, I've been up for 28 hours now and things are getting confusing (I will sleep dont worry I'l get to that later today) When Creating a WPF Application that can locate executables by pressing a button for example " http://imgur.com/D6ecP75 "
The issue I am having at the moment is use the code to find all exes recursively in a directory which I can do with "DirectoryInfo" Class and later on

foreach ( var exeFile in exeFiles )
{
Console.WriteLine( exeFile );
}

All of that is not rellevant thats why I didnt want to bring it up in the first place & have this very long conversation about my code. I simply needed guidence from someone who has made something similar to this & could give me some pointers to make it as "efficient" as possible.

I hope im making any sence, English is not my naitive tounge.

Yeah see, thats what I also found, in about 5 seconds. The thing is, it doesnt work on his machine, so I scrambled up a little bit of code & I made it work. Thanks anyways!

Thank you sir, I completly understand what you mean, Without actually getting my hands dirty & writing some code I will not be able to develop as a programmer, I can read & read all I want but without putting any action to it, it wont ammount to anything, I think that was what the true answer I was looking for, I need to get down to work for a certain ammount of time. The reading will only do me so much, but without the learning work (development work) I wont progress.. Thanks!

I will look in to that, thank you sir!

Thank you so much, this is one of the big reasons why I love programming, besides from actually exploring such a wide subject & learning so much this is it, the great community & there is truly only a few people who actually provides the information & helps other people learn. Thank you sir!

By the way! I understand the concept & how it should work but it gives me the error:

CS1061 C# '' does not contain a definition for '' and no extension method '' accepting a first argument of type '' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'm assuming it is because the SoundPlayer Class doesnt have a volume control.
Please do correct me if I am wrong.

Oh, Thank you so much, this has been bugging me for a very long time, Next time I'm making a SoundBoard I will not be using the SoundPlayer Class because it doesnt really have a Volume control!

-You learn something new everyday!

Oh! Now I understand! Thank you so much for not providing the code itself but explaining how it works instead! Really need information ike that now that I am learning!

Hey this might be a silly question, but where do I find information about the valueChanged event & how to use it, been looking for about an hour now & I still cant get it to work sorry kinda new, 2 months in.

This is my current code for the trackBar & I know there is something missing.

private void trackBar1_Scroll(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
trackBar1.Minimum = 0;
trackBar1.Maximum = 100;
}

Thank you for explaining sir!

Thanks for the great tips! & I can agree that it is pretty boring but its just a fun little project that I am currently working on as a side project, & I took a look at the link that you sent me, I really couldnt find anything about Volume control, did I miss it?

Oh, yeah so I have a friend who works on the project with me, please excuse me for some of the faul language that might occur in the code. :(

Might be because I am bad at phrasing my thoughts, also kinda new to C# & Visual Studio, coming up on 2 months.

I am feeling insulted, I came here for help about finding some documentations or some help from first hand users of GeckoFX. I would be very happy if we could move on from this & wait for someone who can actually help me with my issue.

Also sorry for my bad grammar, English is not my native tounge

See thats where you got it wrong, At the moment I am trying to get as much information about GeckoFX as I can from googleing it, which turns out to be harder then I thought, so thats why I am trying to reach out to other people who might have some first hand experience about GeckoFX who could tell me how they got started with it & where they got thier information. What i am trying to understand at the moment is how to make a webbrowser using the GeckoFX, Is it the same concept as using the built in webBroswer module in Visual studio? I think so yes, but the code differs quite the bit, thats why I would like some information & some examples on what the code would look like so I can use THAT concept & try to code something different, What I am trying to accomplish here is not copy pasting any code without any effort, thats the last thing on my mind, what I want is some form of ducumentation or some blog that has done a few examples so I can read that code, learn it & have use for it in future, its like when building a house, I would like to know where to buy the materials & how to use it, but I dont want to copy someone elses house, I would like to create my own. Hope that explains it.

Regards Logan

Specifically I would want to know the basics of making a webbrowser, & I would like some site or docs where I could read up about Gecko. hope that explains pretty much what I need!

Then im probably going to go for Gecko!

So right now ims tanding between Awesomeium & Gecko, Would I be able to use C# with them or would I have to use VB?

Oh, well that is splended! I will try to look for something under the lines of "Can share, can remake, can distribute" & btw, do you know any good open source communities?

& by emulation mode you mean, what engine it uses?

Afzaal, I was wondering, if i made a webbrowser with the Awesomeium IDK, would I be able to get sued if I released it? Might be a stupid question.

Not planning on making any money with it or generate any revenue since it is a webbrowser, but it just crossed my mind & I want to take safety precautions.

Thank you sir, I will keep that in mind, there was so much more to making a webBrowser then I thought, & One thing I've noticed is that it was running on the IE 7 engine wich is generally a bad idea because it is as you said IE, But yeah I will scrap that project, use whaat I've learned to far to create a new one with my "own" engine, thank you.

Thank you sir!
I wasnt completly sure on what to search for. I am quite new to C# & The VS IDE.
2 months upcoming!

What do you mean by "But you can move to WPF for that matter."
Would I just move the whole project into a WPF format? & Would that give me the option to change the titlebar easier?

Ooh okay! I am using Form2.TopLevel = true; at the moment, but if I want a child item lets say I have 3 stuff in the MenuStrip
File | Options | About
Exit | Themes

Lets say I want to make themes clickable with another form, THEN I use Form2.TopLevel = false; right?
otherwise if its not the child item, if it is the parent I would use
Form2.TopLevel = true; am I correct?

By the way, thank you for explaining!

Oh okay! That makes sence! What about the nForm, WHy are we calling it (nForm) (Wich I assume is short for newForm) why not Form2 wich is the name of my other form that I wanted to make pop up, is it just beacse that name is already used by something else? I hope I'm making any sence :p

Hey! That worked, had to change the false to true, could you explain hopw that code works more in depth?

Didnt work out the way I needed but I will try to use the same logic but in a different way.

That just made it so as soon as I start the app it starts counting down immediately. I want it to start counting down as soon as I press start

Turns out it only worked because the button was selected while the software was started. Back to square one.

Nevermind! I was pressing F1 while it was still bound to Enter Thank you!

Beucase if I do that it gives me the error

Severity Code Description Project File Line
Warning CS0642 Possible mistaken empty statement WindowsFormsApplication6 C:\Users\User\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\WindowsFormsApplication6\Form1.cs 125

@Matt_T_Heffron So it would be the same code but I need to use it on the form.
