Hi i am stumped on how to insert characters into a string so it can display correctly. for instance i am wanting to format a string (ex "19999"). To be displayed as 199.99 (to show a price of $199.99 instead of $19,999). Also to go a bit further i would if the price did reach in the thousands (ex 121499) i would need it to show as 1,214.99. I've looked for some format property but i couldn't find anything 
Thanks in advance

Since you constantly want to change 123456 into 1,234.56 then I suggest converting the string into a decimal first, then divide it by 100 and display it.
You can use the {0:c} currency formatting to display the '$', the ',' and '.'
Here's[^] a good article on string formatting in C# just in case you need it.

Try this:
string output = (value / 100.0).ToString('N');
the 'N' style gives your number to two decimal places and comma seperates the thousands.

hi this is my code for get CPU ID :
string cpuInfo = String.Empty;
ManagementClass mc = new ManagementClass("Win32_Processor");
ManagementObjectCollection moc = mc.GetInstances();
foreach (ManagementObject mo in moc)
{
if (cpuInfo == String.Empty)
{ // only return cpuInfo from first CPU
cpuInfo = mo.Properties["ProcessorId"].Value.ToString();
}
}
return cpuInfo;
but in my system, it is not working correctly(and why in another computer it worked correctly ?)
the error that was shown me : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
How to solve problem ?
thanks .

The ProcessorId isn't what you think it is. It's not serial number that can be used for some kind of compy protection. It's a field that describes the capabilities of the processor:
ProcessorId
Data type: string
Access type: Read-only
Processor information that describes the processor features. For an x86 class CPU, the field format depends on the processor support of the CPUID instruction. If the instruction is supported, the property contains 2 (two) DWORD formatted values. The first is an offset of 08h-0Bh, which is the EAX value that a CPUID instruction returns with input EAX set to 1. The second is an offset of 0Ch-0Fh, which is the EDX value that the instruction returns. Only the first two bytes of the property are significant and contain the contents of the DX register at CPU reset???all others are set to 0 (zero), and the contents are in DWORD format.

hi,
I work on a computer that is part of a network and uses proxy to connect to net. I cant connect to servers outside my proxy with simple ConnectTo code. I need to know how to make my requests go through proxy. eg,
serverTcpConnection = new TcpClient(popServer, port);
does not work.
Thanx.

You cannot bypass the proxy. Either the administrator of the proxy machine has to open up the port for you, or, you have to tunnel it through some port which the proxy keeps open. Typically, proxies keep port 80 for HTTP open. You could write a webservice that runs on a machine that has access to the port you want and then simply have your client call the webservice instead.

I've derived my own GradientListView class from the ListView control to try and draw a gradient background. I'm able to draw the gradient background just fine by overriding the OnPaintBackground event, but the ListView items no longer appear in the ListView. Is it an all or nothing deal?....Do I need to handle all the painting events if I override one of them? If I comment out the SetStyle command in the constructor the ListView shows the items correctly, but obviously without the gradient background.
public GradientListView()
{
SetStyle(ControlStyles.AllPaintingInWmPaint | ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw | ControlStyles.UserPaint |
ControlStyles.DoubleBuffer | ControlStyles.SupportsTransparentBackColor, true);
}
protected override void OnPaintBackground(System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs pevent)
{
PaintRectangle(this.ClientRectangle, this.BackColor, Color.Black, pevent.Graphics);
}
protected void PaintRectangle(Rectangle Rect, Color RectColor, Color RectBorderColor, Graphics g)
{
Pen LinePen = new Pen(RectBorderColor, 10);
g.DrawRectangle(LinePen, new Rectangle(Rect.X, Rect.Y, Rect.Width - 1, Rect.Height - 1));
LinePen.Dispose();
Rect = new Rectangle(Rect.X + 1, Rect.Y + 1, Rect.Width - 2, Rect.Height - 2);
SolidBrush bgBrush = new SolidBrush(RectColor);
g.FillRectangle(bgBrush, Rect);
bgBrush.Dispose();
LinearGradientBrush brush;
Rectangle BottomRect;
BottomRect = new Rectangle(Rect.X, Rect.Height-((int)(Rect.Height / 3)), Rect.Width, Rect.Height / 3);
brush = new LinearGradientBrush(
new Point(BottomRect.Width / 2, BottomRect.Top - 1),
new Point(BottomRect.Width / 2, BottomRect.Bottom),
RectColor,
ControlPaint.Dark(RectColor));
g.FillRectangle(brush, BottomRect);
brush.Dispose();
}

If you have the control set to OwnerDraw then it means you will draw everything.
Have no fear, though, since you can override Paint and then just call base.Paint().
See if that corrects the drawing problem.
As to your user name.....BRILLIANT!

First i tried to do this with following code: System.Data.DataTable.Select(System.Data.DataColumn.ColumnName + " = NULL");
but this didn't work!
so how should i modify my syntax to get the reult i want to have?

Try " is null" instead.

b { font-weight: normal; }

I believe this should do the trick, just use the Forms Resize event since it is called when the Form is minimised.
private void Form1_Resize(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
this.Visible = false;
notifyIcon1.Visible = true;
}
}
|
|
|
|
|
It just dont cancel the minimize event......
Im kinda looking for a way to stop the event because it still minimizes before hiding.....

Copy the following method into your form.
protected override void WndProc(ref Message m)
{
if (m.Msg == 0x0112)
if (((int)m.WParam & 0xFFF0) == 0xF020)
return;
base.WndProc(ref m);
}

Hi everyone,
I've been having a problem when using ShowDialog (more that it doesn't do what I want it to do  )
I've got a main form, from which I create a child form which I want to always be available (I use Form.Show() to show it).
Later on, the main form will then show dialog forms (using Form.ShowDialog()). The problem is that doing this causes the child form (which I want to always be available) to be blocked along with the main form, so the user can only use the new dialog form.
Is there a simple way around this? I'd prefer not to have to change using ShowDialog, because I do this all over the place. Can I just change what I do with the child form I want to always be available?
Here's a quick example piece of code which has the effect I'm trying to explain:
private void MainForm_Shown(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
{<br />
Form alwaysAvailableChild = new Form();<br />
alwaysAvailableChild.Text = "Should be Always Available";<br />
alwaysAvailableChild.Show();<br />
<br />
Form dialog = new Form();<br />
dialog.Text = "Dialog";<br />
dialog.ShowDialog();<br />
}
Cheers in advance.

When you show a form with ShowDialog() you will not be able to use other forms, because the form you just showed is showed like a dialog....
Which means that other forms not will be available before the dialog is closed again...
So if you just use Show() it should not give any problems....
Hope it solved your problem..

I realise that this is an easy option to solve the problem (although I'd have to manually disable the main form myself)... but I was more wondering if there was a way to have a completely "seperate" window from the rest of the application, so that when the main window shows a dialog, my "seperate" window will be unaffected.
The reason I'm asking is that I've got my application which shows dialogs here, there, and everywhere, and now I want to add a, sort of, help window, which is always available (preferably without moving it into a seperate application).

|

I think maybe you should run your help window in a seperate thread....
Hope that solved it
