Re: problem with if statement

Try

<br />
int imax5 = Convert.ToInt32(cmd01.ExecuteScalar());<br />
if (imax5 < 2)<br />
{<br />
 ...<br />
}<br />

The problem is "string" < "integer" - I wonder why your compiler is processing this without warning.

well.. the last item in the list will be the total number of items... -1 OMG | :OMG:

Actually, -2, since arrays always start at 0.
Then after that everytime you click previous you go one lower. So you'd have to have some variable for the current item your looking at.

Hi,

im using propertygrid and trying to show boolean property with other string values than true/false,
i made boolenconverter for this, it works fine when i use combobox to change value, but i get inner propertygrid error when i doubleclick to change value in propertygrid:

Invalid property value!

Hi,

Your converter should derive from BooleanConverter. Just override the ConvertTo and ConvertFrom methods to change the display strings.

problem to load Data from form2 to form1.gridView

hi in my app, i have two forms, in form1, i have a button and gridview and a public method as 'LoadData' as follow :

public void LoadData()<br />
        {<br />
            using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=server;Initial Catalog=northwind;User Id=sa;Password=1;"))<br />
            {<br />
                SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from customers", con);<br />
                SqlDataReader dr;<br />
                DataTable dt = new DataTable();<br />
                con.Open();<br />
                dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();<br />
                dt.Load(dr);<br />
                con.Close();<br />
                this.gridControl1.DataSource = dt.DefaultView;<br />
            }<br />
        }

in button_click event, i show form2 as follow :

private void simpleButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
        {   <br />
            Form2 frm = new Form2();<br />
            frm.Show();<br />
        }

in form2, i have only one button, i want when i click this button, create object from form1 and calling LoadData() method to fill gridView as follow :

private void simpleButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)<br />
        {<br />
            Form1 frm = new Form1();<br />
            frm.LoadData();<br />
        }

but in runTime, when i click button in form2, gridView does not fill, i trace my app and i saw frm.LoadData() was correctly work but gridView does not fill, where does my problem and how to solve it ?
thanks

Re: problem to load Data from form2 to form1.gridView

So you have: Form1 with Button 1 and Form2 with Button 2 - if you klick Button 1, a new Form2 window should appear and if you then click on Button 2 in it, the first form (Form1) shall Load the data right?

Ok you will have to do something like this:

in Form2 declare a public function SetForm1 - that sets an internal variable to an object of Form1, then in the first button click use:

<br />
Form2 frm = new Form2();<br />
frm.SetForm1(this);<br />
frm.Show();<br />

and in Buttonclick of Form2:

<br />
_form1Var.LoadData();<br />

The problem is simple: in your code you create a new Form1 object (that you will never see - you never use it's Show-method) and fire LoadData against this!

Bye the way: you should not interweave two forms in such a way - use events of public functions for such tasks.

<br />
<br />
private Form1 _form1;<br />
public void SetForm1(Form1 obj)<br />
{ _form1 = obj; }<br />
<br />

Then you can use
_form1.LoadData()
inside your Button_Click - event

Hi
I have the following code which checks what the last number is in a database field after the _ and then adds 1 to it. however i need to add an extra bit of code in to check if a number exisits there already as the field could be: xxxx~xxx_01 or it could just be xxxx~xxx without the underscore. if its the latter then it will need to start from 1 and incrment up from there adding an underscore to the field where as at the moment it checks if there is a 1 there already,
any suggestions?
hope this makes sense, comment if not

cheers

SqlCommand cmd17 = new SqlCommand(test0002, con2);

StringBuilder htmlStr_room_code2 = new StringBuilder("");

SqlDataReader reader2 = cmd17.ExecuteReader();

while (reader2.Read())

htmlStr_room_code2.Append(reader2["room_code"]);
}

lbtest2.Text = htmlStr_room_code2.ToString();
Session["sessiontest1"] = lbtest2.Text.ToString();

string db = Session["sessiontest1"].ToString(); // "jh00~pr11_01";
string[] split = db.Split('_');

string s_number = split[1];
int i_number = Int32.Parse(s_number);

i_number++;
s_number = i_number.ToString();

db = split[0] + "_" + s_number;

Once you have your db string you can use if(db.Contains("_")) and go from there.

as you've got answers concering windwos services:

I don't think you want to write a service-app. (services shouldn't use GUIs! - aka forms etc.) - you just want to start the app on starup? - Well put a link into your autostart (startup whatever) - folder in your start-menu!
