• Windows Forms Controlling one form to another

  Hi, Is there any way to control parent form from child without using showdialog(). I am not using MDI form. suppose I opened Form2 from Form1. Now I want to change some property of Form1 from Form2 then how is it possible Hi, Simply make a public property in form2 which it's type is form1 then set this property of form 2 to "this" in form1 before opening the form2. here is what you need to have in form2: //Don't forget that It's better to use accessors for property members of a class public Form1 CallerForm; and have this in caller form: Form2 form2 = new Form2(); form2.CallerForm = this; form2.Show(); then you can change any property of form1 in form2, for example: this.CallerForm.T ...Show All

• Visual C# Passing values into EventArgs when a button is clicked

  I am currently building a shopping cart application using C # in VS2005 where there are 10 items to select from. There are 10 "Add to Cart" buttons, when clicked, will trigger a single method. That single method will either add a row (new item), or update the quantity (old item). In my existing code, i loop through each row in the DataSet to determine whether i should add a row or update a row. Is there a way to store the item information (name, description and price) in EventArgs so that when the "Add to Cart" button is clicked, the item information is passed to the single method using EventArgs I am aware that i can create my own EventArgs class that inherits the EventArgs class but is there any way to store my it ...Show All

• Audio and Video Development “containing block“definition

  Now I am researching “containing block”, but I found there are some difference between CSS2 and performance of Microsoft HD DVD Interactivity Jumpstart. CSS2 definition: Definition of "containing block": If the element has ’position: absolute’, the containing block is established by the nearest ancestor with a ’position’ of ’absolute’, ’relative’ or ’fixed’, in the following way: ......(ignore) 2. Otherwise, the containing block is formed by the padding edge of the ancestor. If there is no such ancestor, the containing block is the initial containing block.

• Architecture Localication - Numbers/dates - Responsibility of UI Tier or Business Tier?

  Hi forum I'm developing a business tier/layer for a web based UI. I would like the UI to be able to run in any culture but I'm guessing that I need to store dates and numbers one way. My business tier can be located on another server. (via remoting). I understand that it is the CurrentCulture on the thread that affects for formatting of dates and numbers. I would like to make it possible for both dates and numbers to be formatted when displayed in the browser - based on the browser language setting. How do I store these numbers and dates Should the UI do some handling before sending the dates or numbers to the business tier or is it the responsability of the business tier Should I just make sure that the thread on the b ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. MDX 2.0 lost devices? (can't find beta website)

  I know this is a beta question.  Don't bother referring me to the "beta" site--there's no entry over there for directx beta.  Is it moved   anyway. Has anyone managed to successfully Reset() a device once it was lost under MDX2.0 I see how the samples do it, but it only seems to work for 1.1.  When I run similar code under 2.0, a call to device.Reset() only triggers my "lost" handler to get run (not "lost" then "reset" as it should be). In the Simple2D_2005 sample, a call to device.Reset() triggers the "lost" handler followed by "reset" handler.  But using similar code/logic under 2.0, this doesn't happen. Anyone have it _really_ working under 2.0 ...Show All

• Windows Forms Temporary Behavior, Need Help

  I am creating a control with a custom designer that should allow a data object to be dropped onto it, setting some properties. This object will be coming from another application. I've already been able to implement this by overriding the OnDrag events of the control's designer, but I'd like to do it "more correctly" by attaching a behavior to the control's body glyph and overriding those drag events. The idea being I could just add another behavior if I needed to support another drop source, as well as reuse them for other objects. This behavior/glyph should only be active during a drag operation, and more specifically during a drag from outside the process. Is there a clean way to do this Thanks ...Show All
