• Visual C# Disposing Forms

  Hello - Form f = new Form(); ... DialogResult dr = f.ShowDialog(); ... After retrieving the dialog result, how can I increase the speed at which the closing form dissapears and the underlying (parent) form refreshes/repaints itself It appears as if panels dispose of themselves one at a time... Thanks. Try to hide the form first, before closing it. For example, if you're handling close on a button_click, you can do it this way: private void button1_Click( object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this .Hide(); this .Close(); } Regards, -chris ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) LINQ install fails (May CTP)

  Hi, When starting the installer, I get the message: "Cannot find a valid Product to install LINQ with" and then tells me that I need a version of Visual Studio 2005 installed in the next dialog. I do have Visual Studio 2005 Professional (German) installed and I never had such problems with other previews that involved VS 2005 (e.g. Orcas). I believe that the problem is related to the german language version of VS 2005 since there was also a language problem in the last preview (you had to copy some files after installation). The last CTP however installed at least. Does anyone have a workarround for this I know that oth ...Show All

Thanks, OK, I spent a little more time googling, and... http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/begininvoke.asp If you're familiar with win32's (or MFC's) UI intricacies, mainly the difference between PostMessage and SendMessage, you can skip right ahead t ...Show All

• Visual Basic How to dynamically change the fields on a form

  Hi, As I am about to develop an IT Asset Tracking system I wanted to know how to change fields on a form on the fly. For example, suppose I click on the Add New Asset button, the Add New Asset form will then appear. On this screen, I may have some selectable combos such as Item Type and Model. By default my item type will be Desktop PC and the fields for a desktop PC will be displayed for entry. After I save this and then decide to add another new asset and select Printer as my Item Type, how can I display the relevant fields for this item type on the same form. Do I need to create separate forms for each type of item or can I use o ...Show All

• Visual C# How to implement the "Check for update..." feature?

  I have a WinForm application which cannot be handled by ClickOnce technology because of the limitation of ClickOnce.  However, I would like to implement the "Check for update..." feature using the ClickOnce related technology(may be System.Deployment class ).  Anyone know that Thanks Some of the limitations that you mention are actually security features. The whole idea of ClickOnce is to enable Smart Client Applications to be deployed with minimal impact on the users system. ClickOnce is not meant for deploying web applications at all.
