What's up People. Thanks for these Boards, ... At times they seem like such a hastle, but these forums are really just the Best spot for help. With that said, Im A Complete Newbie in Programing. Im shooting towards C# because i believe XNA uses the same language. My goal: Design and Develop a simple game. Besides that, i have a small project i want to complete for my footsteps.
This is what im looking to do.
*Listen to music using the "Playing MP3s using MCI - guide i found from this site"
*type single words in an INPUT Field - Pressing Enter or 'Button' Drops the words into a visible container. 'called container A'
container A has 2 buttons on the bottom. 'giving user option to Save or Open list created by user INPUT
*button1 = SaveList "browse to save"
*button2 = openList "browse to open"
Later i would like to be able to ADD or REMOVE 1 or multiple words from Container A to Container B by using Highlight method and pressing the A or R buttons on the side of container A.
So, that wraps it up. Hope it makes scense, I have a GUI design ill post up if that would help. im looking to build this one step at a time.
Thanks.

and your question is??
the "container" you described sound more like a 'List View Control' which adding the required method would be a simple matter of syntax.
Give it a try/shot at coding it and if you have problems ask away

My apologies, I was telling you what i wanted to do, and i guess asking how to do it at the same time.
1 thing at a time.
How do i tell the button to take the contents of the INPUT field and display them in the 'list view control'
Its simple i know =0 (
|
|
|
|
|
add a click event handler to the button and then cap the input box's text and insert it as a list view item with
this.listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(this.inputBox1.Text));

Awesome, ... Thanks.
When you say cap the input box's text, what does that mean ?
Does that mean i just give the input field the name of inputBox1.text ?
|
|
|
|
|
cap = capture
If the input box is named "inputBox1" then to grab the text inside it use inputBox1.Text which is a property of the input box control class that will return the text contained within it as a System.String object.
Same goes if you named your List view control "listView1" then to add the item would be listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem("string of the item contents"); that is if your listView1 was setup with one column of information...

Thanks for answering but my f isnot null.
The image/jpg is already in the folder and i am loading within my Picturebox Control and upon clicking on a Delete button I want to remove the control as well as its image from the sourcepath but i am getting this exception
The process cannot access the file C:\Documents and Settings\user\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\bin\Debug\myTempDire\mainFolder\sFderName\images\2.jpg' because it is being used by another process.

Post how you are loading the image into the image box, by guess is that you did it via a image from file call.
So you'd need to close the stream to the file before accessing it.
I'd change it to the following:
When you load the image into the image box instead of pointing the box at the image. Read the image file into memory and inject the contents into the image box. That way the image box doesn't have a file stream connected to the file.

By any chance are you using Image.FromFile to load the image? If so, the file is locked until you dispose the image. You need to either, dispose of the image before you delete it or, use an alternative method for loading the image such as FromStream which does not lock the method.

hi guy, I am loading image in the picturebox control like this on form load event. but Still the file is gettting locked. I don't know where the problem is getting. Any help Thanks.
string sourceFile =imagefilepath;
using( Stream stream = File.Open( sourceFile, FileMode.Open,FileAccess.Read, FileShare.Read ) )
{
try
{
Image image = Image.FromStream( stream );
stream.Close();
stream.Dispose();
pictureBox1.Image = image;
}
catch( Exception ex )
{
MessageBox.Show("so ");
}
}

That code should not give you a sharing violation when trying to delete the file further on. If it does, first make sure nobody else is actually using the file or keeping it open (perhaps not your application at all - or another part of it). Try using filemon (google that) to see what happens.
Some thoughts, however:
1. Make sure the picture box isn't still holding a reference to your image when you dispose of it. Otherwise, you will crash (either with an exception or with strangeness - this will depend on the current mood of your GDI). Always set pictureBox1.Image to null before you call image.Dispose().
2. You are calling stream.Dispose() even though you're in a using block for stream. Don't. The using block does that for you when you exit it - regardless of exceptions or whatever else may happen. That's the reason using blocks exist. Also note that stream will close itself when it gets disposed (unless you do it first), so the stream.Close() call can be dropped as well.
Later,

Hy there,my problem is this: I have an image in my project resources,and a control that has an Image property set to that image. At runtime,I want to know what image is in that property. So i say
if(image == Properties.Resources.img1)
do something
I know that that is the image in the property,so why isn't it working?

System.Drawing implements neither the == operator nor the Equals() Method. So therefore it inherits the Equals() implementation from Object which checks object references. And so it fails. Using the == operator on an image is rather absurd anyhow. If it's an issue, you'll have to implement your own Equals or == routines and check the pixels one at a time, or use the object references to your advantage.

Any idea how to convert strings like "Tuesday 1st April 2008" to a DateTime.
I have tried DateTime.TryParse with different CultureInfo, without result

Thanks
Useful tip, but I was not able parse the date
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("April 1st 2008", "MMMM dd yyyy", new CultureInfo("en-US"), DateTimeStyles.None); //Failed
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("April 1 2008", "MMMM dd yyyy", new CultureInfo("en-US"), DateTimeStyles.None); //Failed
DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact("April 01 2008", "MMMM dd yyyy", new CultureInfo("en-US"), DateTimeStyles.None); //Succeeded
Any idea what formatstring to use ?
I could manipulate the string before parsing, but I'm parsing 8 different languages with different date format :-/

I don't think it's possible to have one generic format for the above examples.
Either some manipulation and FormatException handling is going to be required, or you're going to have to force them in your UI to enter data in an acceptable format by either separating the day, month and year fields into separate controls or using a DateTimePicker or something similar.
The second two examples shouldn't be too hard, but the date suffix in the first does not appear to be included in any of the custom format mechanisms - unless it's possible to use a wild card for the two characters?
It may be easier to create your own control that can handle the 8 different language formats - that will give you more flexibility if more are required later.
