Yes, when minimizing like this it also activates the FormClosing event
But i tested and i saw that if i change from Form2.ShowDialog() to only Form2.Show(), Then it works fine.. but though i would like if it is possible with ShowDialog()
Still, thanks for the answers :)

this new approach also close Form2 after minimizing, and after restoring the application it brings only form1...

but this doesn't minimize form1 also, it still stays the same...

because the different color will give different meaning to the value that is in the datagrid. (its bit complicated to explain why, but simply i need that)

thank you for the answer, but i have a question.
I like the idea to put them in a single row like in a label, but how could i access the label from the list view? like in this example, i would need to get the label from the itemtemplate of the listview (the label) and in a datareader to write all the cities in the label, But i should also add in the sql command +"Where ID2=(with current row table2 id)"...

I ll look also at repeater control now, since i havent encounter with it so far.. but if there is a solution on the above then better i think.

P.S. when i am writing this i am getting confused from my own text, sorry if i am not understandable, but english isnt my first language (but i hope you do understand me :)..

Thank you for the reply..
I reviewed the article, and to be honest it is a little bit confusing. Also, i don't need all that details, here is what i need:
(as i commented on the other answer, i wanna make a custom installation)
Lets say the user clicks first a button (lets call it browse), a new form appears which contains the tree view with all directories (folders only) and on the right side there is a button confirm.. Well when the user would press the confirm button, i wont the path that the user chose in the tree view to be saved (so the program would know where the files to be copied)...

I am sorry if i am asking for (maybe if this is) an obvious answer, but this is my first 'serious' program, and after a few day nonstop work i am little tired at the end and can't concentrate... :)
(i hope i am understandable)

thanks for the reply.
But i am trying the user only to choose the path where the files want to be copied (on which directory), not the files that is needed to be copied. I am actually trying to make my own installation.

Thanks for the reply..

Yes, about MAC and HardDrive i am not gonna use them as an ID. But am thinking to use the Processor ID and BIOS ID together as a 'key license' to the program (to give more chances for that key license not to be a null string), but even if both wouldn't return any value, i don't mind, as the PC's that wouldn't return nor for Processor nor for BIOS id, is very low, and my program would have at most 100 customers, so its not that big of a deal if some program can be on other PC that also doesn't return value for both (as they will have the same 'key' string (esample "null"))
(which might not even happen)..

Thanks for the reply. I would have even lower amount of customers..

But i have a little question (if you could answer me):
How do you actually implement the hashed string?
- I was thinking to go to the customer PC, run my own program that would read those "ID's" and insert them in the database of the program that the customer is gonna use.. But with this method i wouldn't need to hash the id's..
So, i am more of curious on why you have actually hashed the id's (i hope i am not asking for too much)..

well lol, i have made this as solved.. by mistake :s
Can i 'unsolve' or i should open new question? :s

Will this work?:
When installing the program on the client server to see what the mac address of that computer is, to enter it in the database of the program. Then when the program starts it will get the mac address from the current computer that is on, and check with the string that is inserted in the database, and if they are the same the program can go on, else a messagebox shows up and the app shuts down..

And now the only thing left to do is to protect the database from accessing into it? (i am working with sql database)

P.S. (again XD) I am still a beginner, but i think now that i am on a level where i should think of protecting my programs (as i can start taking offers and make them (as a freelancer?))
