That's because you are not doing the drawing in the Paint event. Now you are just drawing it on the screen, and when the form is being redrawn because you invalidated it, the time that you drew is painted over.
Why are you drawing the time as graphics anyway? Put the string in a label, and it will draw itself. When you change the Text property of the label, it will also invalidate itself so that it's redrawn.

Ok, please refresh me on this.
I call Invalidate; that repaints my form. Then i use DrawString to draw my string on the form.
Both are seperate entities... so whats the catch ????
Can you please brief me on what happening that i am not able to understand?
Thanks.
*** Who said nothing is impossible? I have been doing it for a long time ***

No, the Invalidate call doesn't repaint the form. It only flags that the form needs repainting. The actual repaint can't be done until the method call has returned, so the system can call the Paint event for all controls in the form.

Hello, may be some of you could help me. I have a winform with FormBorderStyle asigned to None (I need it in that way), and an AXWebBrowser with Dock asigned to Fill. My problem is that the MouseEnter event for the winform only work if I have a part of it visible, but in this case I must have the webbroser filling all the winform, so the event MouseEnter never work. And the webbrowser doen't have a MouseEnter event, so I can't call that event too. I need the event for enter and leaving.
I try:
((Control)this.browser).MouseEnter += new System.EventHandler(this.AlertWindow_MouseEnter);
But doesn't work !!!
Any ideas??
Thansk a lot.

I am relatively inexperienced in using delegates and asynchronous methods. I read several articles, and then I developed my own code with a mission to improve the performance. Wow! I cannot believe the difference in speed! However, the asynch operation fails sometimes, despite of the fact that it works most of the time. I am really at a loss how to fix this sporadic and erratic behavior.
This is a web application developed with Visual Studio 2003 (.NET framework 1.1). The following C# code snippet shows that I use two delegates to provide a built-in way to call two mainframe DB2 stored procedures, SPX and SPY. I need to execute SPX and SPY many times, each time passing different parameters as per signature of the method. This code is in the server-side Business Logic layer (behind an ASP.NET page to service a client request of a long running report).
With those asynch methods shown in the example, the code compiles and runs incredibly fast when compared to the old-fashioned way of making one call at a time. I was very happy with the performance and the results from the asynch executions were correct.
However, I came across a really peculiar and sporadic error from mscorlib.dll with an error message “object reference not set to an instance of an object”. This error is totally incomprehensible to me. Here are the symptoms: (1) It seems to me the error only occurred sporadically or randomly (because the application runs fine most of the time). (2) Whenever the error occurred, the call stack pointed to one of the many EndInvoke statements (not necessarily a particular EndInvoke statement, but randomly one of the many EndInvoke statements).
I apologize for putting down so much writing and code snippet. I sincerely hope someone can shed some light on this mysterious error. Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated!
Code Snippet:
public delegate string SPXCaller(int Division);
public delegate string[] SPYCaller(int TimePeriod, int CategoryType, int Division);
public class AsyncMethods
{
public AsyncMethods()
{
}
public string ExecSPX(int Division)
{
//This method contains code to exec DB2 stored procedure SPX
//SPX returns 1 output parameter as string
}
public string[] ExecSPY(int TimePeriod, int CategoryType, int Division)
{
//This method contains code to exec DB2 stored procedure SPY
//SPY returns 5 output parameters as string[5]
}
}

Well, upon initial glance it all seems ok...what line of code is it crashing on? You should first find out where the null reference exception is occurring; what's most likely occurring is that some object is being accessed by multiple threads. One of the threads sets the object to null, then another thread tries to use that object after the fact, causing the error. But it's difficult to debug it unless you know where the error is occurring.

Hi Judah,
Thank you very much for your reply. As I mentioned in my original message, the line of code that caused the reference exception is one of the many EndInvoke statements (not always the same one, but one of them randomly). Like I said before, the application works most of the time. So, this leads me to think that there is no programming error. But sporadically it crashed on one of the EndInvoke statements as indicated by the Exception Management. So this bug is really incomprehensible to me.
Thanks again,
SL

When you're executing asynchronous code, EndInvoke will re-throw any unhandled errors that occurred somewhere in your asynchronous code blocks (the code that gets executed on background threads). This is by design.
What I would do is put some try/catch around the code that gets executed on a background thread. Log it somehow by outputting to the console, a file, anything that lets you track it down when it happens. Then when it happens, make sure you log the stack trace, the error message, and any other error information that will help you solve it. Also, in your asynchronous code, validate all the data you're dealing with. If you're using an object that is shared among the other threads, make no assumptions about it! Check if such resources are null or in an invalid state before using them.

I'm having a slight problem with flags. I downloaded a small class from CP called Task Scheduler. It contains an enum called DaysOfTheWeek. This enumeration contains all the seven days of the week. This enumeration has the Flag option set to on and as i read somewhere, multiple flags can be passed at once by using the pipe operator (|). Now the class contains a function which takes the enumeration DaysOfTheWeek as a parameter. When I have to call the function, I can easily do so by writing
TestFunction(DaysOfTheWeek.Monday)
That was easy. Now, I have seven check boxes on my form called chkSunday, chkMonday....chkSaturday. Now, I have to call the function by passing the flags which in turn depend on the check boxes that are selected. For example, if the user has selected chkMonday and chkSunday, I would call the function like this
TestFunction(DaysOfTheWeek.Monday | DaysOfTheWeek.Sunday)
This is where the the problem lies. i can't possibly write a set of if else statements that take into account all the possible combinations of checkboxes being selected and appropriately calling the function. How do I do this?
I thought of this but it doesnt work:
<br />
TaskScheduler.DaysOfTheWeek enmDays;<br />
if (chkSunday.Checked == true)<br />
enmDays = enmDays | DaysOfTheWeek.Sunday;<br />
if (chkMonday.Checked == true)<br />
enmDays = enmDays | DaysOfTheWeek.Monday;<br />
if (chkTuesday.Checked == true)<br />
enmDays = enmDays | DaysOfTheWeek.Tuesday;<br />
if (chkWednesday.Checked == true)<br />
enmDays = enmDays | DaysOfTheWeek.Wednesday;<br />
if (chkThursday.Checked == true)<br />
enmDays = enmDays | DaysOfTheWeek.Thursday;<br />
if (chkFriday.Checked == true)<br />
enmDays = enmDays | DaysOfTheWeek.Friday;<br />
if (chkSaturday.Checked == true)<br />
enmDays = enmDays | DaysOfTheWeek.Saturday;<br />
TestFunction(enmDays);<br />

What do you mean by "not working"?

Yes, you can. It's only 128 combinations. I can very well understand if you don't want to do it, but it's clearly possible to do.

Why not just use a loop? 
ArrayList checkBoxes = new ArrayList();
chkSunday.Tag = DaysOfTheWeek.Sunday;
checkBoxes.Add (chkSunday);
...
chkSunday.Tag = DaysOfTheWeek.Saturday;
checkBoxes.Add (chkSaturday);
DaysOfTheWeek selectedDays = DaysOfTheWeek.None;
for (int nDay=0; (nDay < checkBoxes.Count); nDay++) {
CheckBox cb = checkBoxes[nDay] as CheckBox;
if (cb.Checked) {
if (selectedDays == DaysOfTheWeek.None)
selectedDays = (DaysOfTheWeek) cb.Tag;
else
selectedDays |= (DaysOfTheWeek) cb.Tag;
}

There isn't a DaysOfTheWeek.None. What do I do now?
|
|
|
|

Make up your own enum (eg: MyDayOfTheWeek) or use a set of days of the week, where the empty set implies "no day selected".

hi!
I'm doing a project in image processing. I have implemented sobel edge detection.But the edge is not thin.
I tried to implement canny edge detection. But I don't understand how to do non maximum suppression.If anyone has canny edge detection implemented please please share it.
any edge tracking algorithm for thinning the edges will be helpful.

Thankyou Ravi.
I have already been to the links the you have specified.I have also implemented canny edge detection in vb.net but the results are not good, meaning the edges are not thin (preferably a single line of pixels).
Is there some way to do that? Non maximum suppression is not very helpful. If you know how to track the edges please help.It's urgent.

Sorry, my knowledge of image processing resembles the null set. 
That being said, have you seen the Rothwell[^] method? Any better than Sobel and canny?
