    - Two related listBoxes question I want to relate 2 listBoxes. Although during the filling of the first listBox1; the event SelectedIndexChanged already fires (this is not the purpose). The event should only fire when a select an item in listBox1. How can i avoid that the event fires too early? ... private void button3_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { DataSet ds = new DataSet(); DataAdapter da = null; string SQLcom = "SELECT toto, id FROM table"; da = new DataAdapter(SQLcom, conn); da.Fill(ds, "table"); listBox1.DataSource = ds.Tables["table"]; listBox1.ValueMember = "id"; listBox1.DisplayMember = "toto"; listBox1.SelectedIndex = -1; } private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { DataSet ds = new DataSet(); DataAdapter da = null; string SQLcom = "SELECT tata, id FROM table2"; da = new DataAdapter(SQLcom, conn); da.Fill(ds, "table2"); listBox2.DataSource = ds.Tables["table2"]; listBox2.ValueMember = "id"; listBox2.DisplayMember = "tata"; listBox2.SelectedIndex = -1; } Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81391

    - How up update biz obj when bound textbox text changes I'm binding a textbox to a property in a business class and the business class updated correctly when the user keys in some text and the focus leaves the textbox. When the property its bound to changes, it raises an event in the UI which updates various visual things. I want these things up update as the user keys in data and not wait for the focus to leave the textbox. I'm trying to do this in a way that stays with the them of binding to business objects and using as little code as possible. How can I get the binding of the textbox to update the property on the TextChanged event? 'Here's how I'm binding the textbox: Me.FName.DataBindings.Add("Text", objB, "FName") 'I was thinking of adding this event handler AddHandler FName.TextChanged, AddressOf TextValChanged 'More textboxes will use the same handler AddHandler AnotherControl.TextChanged, AddressOf TextValChanged 'But I'm not sure of a good way to proceed Private Sub TextValChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Try 'Assuming this is the way to go, what's a generic way to update the sender's bound property? Catch ex As Exception ErrLog(ex) End Try End Sub Thanks. -- moondaddy@nospam.com Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81389

    - Multi-Threading Problem I have an application I am writing that is using multiple threads to pull down files from a web service. I want a thread to run for each file needed to pull down. The code I have written works wonderfully. However, when I add in the ability to control the number of threads running at any point in time to be only 3 and then when one has finished another is started. So, if there are 15 files only 3 are being downloaded at the same time, when the first one has finished another thread is started to get the next file. I then run into a problem I am grappling with and need some help. The culprit is the while loop in the code below: for(int i=0; i<files.Length;i++) { while(threadsStarted >= maxThreads) { Thread.Sleep(50); //hang tight for available thread to start } Interlocked.Increment(ref threadsStarted); WorkerClass wc = new WorkerClass( this, showProgress, new object[] { imsgs,files[i], decrementThreads } ); Thread t = new Thread( new ThreadStart(wc.RunProcess)); t.IsBackground = true; //make them a daemon - prevent thread callback issues t.Start(); EnableButton ( false ); } When the threadsStarted reaches 3 it equals the maxThreads (which is set to 3 in code before this) then it is as if my threads stop running. I set a break point in code that runs in the method the thread executes and it stops at the point as long as threadsStarted variable is less than 3 but after that it does not. So it seems like the while loop is suspending everything. Any ideas how to correct this? I know I must be doing something wrong - I just don't know what. -Demetri Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81388

    - Extender Provider I want implement an Extender Provider in my form that stores an object, implemented in a class, that stores n properties(string, integer...). I would like edit every properties at design mode too, in the same way of size property, location property etc, in order to extend my form' s controls with custom properties my application need to work, without develop customized controls. I' m looking for sample code... I found only code with Extender Provider that stores a string value... At the moment I use Tag property to set a string and then the code reads and splits it getting the values, but I don't like this solution.

    - ListBox, DataReader, ID and Description I would like using a DataReader to fille a listbox with descriptions, on the other hand i need to store somwhere an ID (to the respective Descriptions), that i can use as a key when a listbox item has ben selected. I know i can use a second invisible listbox that stores the ID's in it, but are there alternatives to solve this problem (with a DataReader) more elegant? Maybe using the Tag property?

    - Proper way to change bound form when biz object changes rec I have an app written in vb.net 1.1 and am learning how to bind the form's controls to its business class properties. The business class is not an item in a list of business objects, but rather each record is retrieved separately from the database. I've seen lots of examples of updating the controls on the form when the datasourse is a list, but in this case its just a single instance of a business class which may fetch a different record from the database and populate its properties with the value from this fetched record. I want to know the most proper way of having the bound controls in form refresh with these new values. I figured out a way, but it seems like a hack. Here's the short version of my code: 'Textbox on form if called FName 'Property in business class is called FName 'custom dec.s in form Private WithEvents objB As Person_BLL = New Person_BLL Private WithEvents _bmb As BindingManagerBase 'in the form load event: Me.FName.DataBindings.Add("Text", objB, "FName") 'custom dec.s in biz class Private Structure Props Dim ID As Int32 Dim FName As String Dim MName As String Dim LName As String End Structure Public Event FNameChanged As EventHandler Public Event MNameChanged As EventHandler Public Event LNameChanged As EventHandler 'One of the props in biz class Public Property FName() As String Get Return DataProps.FName End Get Set(ByVal Value As String) DataProps.FName = Trim(Value) RaiseEvent FNameChanged(Me, New EventArgs) End Set End Property 'Get data from db Public Sub GetRec() 'Fetch data from database 'set datarow object to datarow of dataset 'now set value for properties DataProps.FName = dr.FName DataProps.MName = dr.MName DataProps.LName = dr.LName 'Now raisevent to refresh the FName textbox in the winform RaiseEvent FNameChanged(Me, New EventArgs) 'Note: by raising this one event, all the bound controls were refreshed in the UI 'I could have called MNameChanged or LNameChanged 'but I only needed to raise one. This seems like a hack End sub Rather than arbitrarily raising one of the properties changed, isn't there a proper way to refresh everything in one call? Any good overall-advise for this setup? Thanks. -- moondaddy@nospam.com Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81373

    - ShowDialog and Thread Hi, A probably trivial question but i can't figure out the answer myself. When you call ShowDialog() on a Form to display it modaly, the code located after the ShowDialog call is not executed until the Form is closed. So it looks like the thread in which the form runs is frozen or asleep. Of course, it is not as the form still processes events and you can call mehtods from this Form, etc. So what really happens when you call ShowDialog? How come the code after it is not immediately executed? If the ShowDialog method was just waiting for the form to be closed, the UI thread would be frozen which is not the case. I'm sure i'm missing something simple but what? Thanks. Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81367

    - PasswordChar on TextBox in DataGridTextBoxColumn I have used PasswordChar on a TextBox that is on a form and it works great. You see * instead of the password and you can't cut or copy the password out. It doesn't work as well for a DataGrid. If you want to look a list of users it would be the natural thing to want to hide the password. The setup seems to indicate you can set the PasswordChar propery even on a TextBox in the DataGridTextBoxControl so I assumed it would be ok. When you go to edit the value for that column it will show up as the character you provided and it won't let you cut the value out...but it will let you copy it...that is unless you use the context menu to do it. Is this a known problem? Will it be fixed in the next release? What do I do? Also...this isn't as big of a problem because I have the columnstyle overridden and I was able to fix this myself...the chosen character only masks the value when you are trying to edit it. If you move the cursor to another cell then that cell that was previously masked becomes unmasked. Thanks in advance for any help you may provide, Brandon Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81363

Isn't it strange? Also these programs are taking the snapshot of other windows based application. I am able to take the snapshot of my application (which is not visible to above programs) using "PrintScreen" and pasting it in the paint.Also I am able to take the snapshots of some of the forms of application (using above 4 programs), which have a label to display the message and some background image setup at runtime. Let me tell you that my windows application uses the skins which can be changed dynamically using XML and there are few background images setup at runtime for the forms. I think that the problem is because of some property of the application or windows form. I believe that I have described the problem well enough to understand. Now the ball is in your court.

    - Crystal Reports SetDataSource Method takes a long time! I've been developing a VB .NET Windows Form app that utilizes the built-in Crystal Report Viewer. When I create typed instances of my report document and my ADO.NET dataset and then apply the dataset to the report document, it takes up to 5 minutes to process the single line of code. Here's a code example: Dim rpt As New TypedReportDocument Dim ds As New TypedDataSet ' this next line takes up to five minute to process! rpt.SetDataSource(ds) Some other information: the dataset has approx. 20 tables without any built-in constraints or links. It's just a simple definition of the data. My only thought is when you apply the dataset to the report document, the report document is going through the entire linking process to link the tables together. Perhaps if I link the data tables in the dataset in the dataset designer, I can cut the execution time down. Any other ideas? Or has someone found a solution to this problem? Thanks in advance!

    - How to specify width of each of the columns of a DataGrid? I am feeding a class as the DataSource of the DataGrid. When the processing is done this data grid then displays the data in four columns. Now, I know you can specify table styles for a data grid, but what about being able to specify the width of each and every one of the columns of the datagrid rather than as a whole (same width for all columns which is easy)?

    - Forms in Class Libraries - Beginners Question Hi I am just beginning learning Dot Net, though I am a fairly experienced VB6 traditional developer. I have a Solution which contains of libraries of classes which I want to reuse widely in multiple projects , including some forms which I want to inherit. These forms need to show the output of the back -office classes often using 'MessageBox.Show. Because the form is stored in a class library it seems to have lost some function including MessageBox. Is there a simple way round this by importing the right namespace or is this a no-no for Windows forms stored in Class Libraries Roger Stenson Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81321

    - OpenDialogBox.ReadOnlyChecked has a weird behavior The ReadOnlyChecked property of the OpenDialogBox class does not always report the correct value. If I select more than one file, the ReadOnlyChecked property reports that it is checked even if it is not. There is one except to this weird behavior which is if I select one file and uncheck the "Open as read-only" checkbox then all subsequent calls to ShowDialog will work correctly. Below are the steps to repeat this problem. Can anyone help? Call ShowDialog Select more than one file Uncheck "Open as read-only" Click OK Query ReadOnlyChecked; true is returned (it should return false) Call ShowDialog Select one file Uncheck "Open as read-only" Click OK Query ReadOnlyChecked; false is returned Call ShowDialog Select more than one file "Open as read-only" is already unchecked Click OK Query ReadOnlyChecked; false is returned (it works now) Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81315

    - Get bitmap from clipboard problem I have a program where I'm copying a bitmap from the clipboard and displaying it. It seems that after I perform this operation a few times (3-4) even after confirming there is bitmap data on the clipboard {if (iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap))} when I get the data it returns null. I have made a simple test case in MSVC.NET File->New->Project->Windows Application. Under the InitializeComponent() I added this simple test case. for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { // Get the image from the clipboard IDataObject iData = Clipboard.GetDataObject(); // Make sure we have a bitmap available if (iData.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Bitmap)) { Image kImage = (Image)iData.GetData(DataFormats.Bitmap); int t = 0; // So we can see kImage in debugger } } The first 3 times kImage will be a System.Drawing.Bitmap object. Afterwards it will be null. I can only imagine that there is some sort of resource limit I'm coming up against (This is my first C# project). I'm using a "print screen" capture (3120 x 2400) which is quite large. Remember to put something on the clipboard to test. Printscreen works great. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

    - Thread Part 3 Hello and Thanks again, Maybe I am not explaining what I am looking for good enough and maybe I should not be using muli-threads at all. What I am after is the following: Form1 instantiates Form2 using SHOW, which is always on top. Form2 is a clipboard, where the user can copy and paste information into it and into Form3 which will filled with Textboxes. In Form2 (The clipboard) there is a button that says "Send Data To Form3". Background Info: Form1 has a button that say's "Add New Data". When the "Add New Data" button is clicked, From3 is displayed using SHOWDIALOG. Here the user can add new data to a database. When Form2's button is clicked ("Send Data To Form3"), I need Form3 to be displayed using SHOWDIALOG so that only one instance of the form is being used at a time. I still need Form2 (The clipboard) to be on top and still usable (Able to be moved and accessed) Thanks, Chuck Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81303

I use the Graphics object to draw what I want to print and the print preview displays everything OK but when I print the contents the printer prints out blank page? here is a little description what this class does; I have a Panel that consists of other panels. Each of the inner panels consists of other controls that I have to print out. I create an enumerator to print the panels in reverse order. here is my code.. most of it I found on the net... Hopefully someone can help me with this problem.... Im sure this is a minor problem but I can't figure it out by myself? public class PrintForm { private Control _ctrl = null; private int _iCurrentPageIndex = 0; private int _iCurrentControlIndex = 0; private int m_DocHeight = 900; private int m_DocWidth = 624; private int m_iPaperHeight = 0; private Control m_CurrCtrl = null; private bool m_bHasMorePages = false; private ArrayList m_alControls = new ArrayList(); private IEnumerator ieGrunnBelti = null; private int m_iTop = 0; public PrintForm(Control ctrl) { _ctrl = ctrl; } public void Print() { Print(_ctrl); } public void Print(Control ctrl) { if (ctrl == null) return; ieGrunnBelti = _ctrl.Controls.GetEnumerator(); this.ControlsToArray(_ctrl); PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument(); pd.BeginPrint += new PrintEventHandler(this.PrintDocument_BeginPrint); pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler(this.PrintDocument_PrintPage); PrintPreviewDialog ppd = new PrintPreviewDialog(); ppd.Document = pd; ppd.ShowDialog(); } private void ControlsToArray(Control p_ctrl) { while(ieGrunnBelti.MoveNext()) m_alControls.Add(ieGrunnBelti.Current); _iCurrentControlIndex = m_alControls.Count; } private Point[] GeneratePrintingOffsets(Rectangle rMargins) { ... } private void DrawControl(Control ctrl,Point ptOffset, Graphics g, ref PrintPageEventArgs e) { m_bHasMorePages = false; Control c = null; while(m_alControls.Count > 0) { --_iCurrentControlIndex; if(_iCurrentControlIndex < 0) break; c = (Control)m_alControls[_iCurrentControlIndex]; Point p = new Point(c.Left, c.Top - m_iTop); p.Offset(ptOffset.X, ptOffset.Y); if(c is Skyrslubelti.clsGrunnBelti || c is Skyrslubelti.SkyrslaAreksturBill) { if((m_iPaperHeight + c.Height) < m_DocHeight) m_iPaperHeight += c.Height; else { m_iPaperHeight = 0; _iCurrentPageIndex++; ++_iCurrentControlIndex; m_iTop = c.Top; m_bHasMorePages = true; break; } DrawFrame(c, p, g); this.DrawSkyrsluBelti(c,p,g); } } if(m_bHasMorePages) e.HasMorePages = true; else e.HasMorePages = false; } private void DrawSkyrsluBelti(Control p_ctrl, Point ptOffset, Graphics g) { foreach(Control c in p_ctrl.Controls) { Point p = new Point(c.Left, c.Top); p.Offset(ptOffset.X, ptOffset.Y); if (c is Label) DrawLabel((Label)c, p, g); else if (c is CheckBox) DrawCheckBox((CheckBox)c, p, g); else if(c is PictureBox) DrawImage((PictureBox)c, p, g); else if (c is Skyrslubelti.clsSkyrslaTexti) DrawLine(c, p, g); else if (c is RichTextBox) DrawRTB((RichTextBox)c, p, g); else if (c is Skyrslubelti.SkyrslaAreksturBill) DrawFrame(c, p, g); DrawSkyrsluBelti(c, p, g); } } private void DrawImage(PictureBox pb, Point p, Graphics g) private void DrawLabel(Label lbl, Point p, Graphics g) private void DrawLine(Control c,Point p, Graphics g) private void DrawFrame(Control c,Point p, Graphics g) private void DrawRTB(RichTextBox p_RTB,Point p, Graphics g) private void DrawCheckBox(CheckBox chk, Point p, Graphics g) private void PrintDocument_BeginPrint(object sender, PrintEventArgs e) { this._iCurrentPageIndex = 0; } private void PrintDocument_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs e) { Rectangle rPageMargins = new Rectangle(e.MarginBounds.Location, e.MarginBounds.Size); Point[] ptOffsets = GeneratePrintingOffsets(rPageMargins); e.Graphics.SetClip(rPageMargins); Point ptOffset = new Point(-ptOffsets[0].X, -ptOffsets[0].Y); ptOffset.Offset(rPageMargins.X, rPageMargins.Y); DrawControl(_ctrl,ptOffset, e.Graphics, ref e); } } Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81302

    - Form Inheritance and missing controls Ok, I know this is going to sound odd but this is what I am seeing. I have a form inheritance chain that looks like this: baseform --> childform -- > two seperate endforms (endform1, endform2) When I open the designer for childform I only see the controls that were laid out in baseform. When I open either endforms I only see what was defined in baseform + childform. Attaching to the vs process and attempting to debug into InitializeComponent when opening the designer for endform1, it never hits the breakpoints in endform1 even in the constructor. It does however hit the breakpoints in childform's constructor. So essentially I now have a bunch of forms that I cannot edit in the designer. Does anyone have any clue as to what is going on?

    - Serial Communications - Threading I have written an winform application (c#) that uses serial communication to transmit and receive data to a device that users respond to by pressing various proximity sensors. The data is transmitted and received correctly and all works well. A part of the application is to flash LEDs on the device when the it has not been used for some while, in the meantime the UI goes into a form of a Screen Saver. The device then waits for a sensor to be touched and if so, then returns into life. Unfortunately, when i transmitt the commands to flash the LEDs the application hangs until the transmitt has completed and as it transmits upto 10 flashes, this is very slow (app does not respond until transmits are complete). Can anyone reccommend a method for transmitting (perhaps on a thread) and not having to wait for the transmitt to complete i.e. so that UI does not freeze.

    - Populating a Combo Box with instances of a class - problem Hi! I'm feeling the burn of .NET; Still getting used to it :) I'm trying to populate a combo box with instances of a class: Public Class Shortcut Private Name As String Private RealLocation As String Public Sub New() Me.Name = "unknown" Me.RealLocation = "unknown" End Sub Public Sub New(ByVal Name As String, ByVal Path As String) Me.Name = Name Me.RealLocation = Path End Sub Public Function getName() As String Return (Me.Name) End Function Public Function getRealLocation() As String Return (Me.RealLocation) End Function Public Overrides Function toString() As String Return (Me.Name) End Function End Class My problem is the following code: With cmb .ValueMember = "getRealLocation" .DisplayMember = "toString" .Items.Add(New Shortcut("Label1", "Full Path1")) .Items.Add(New Shortcut("Label2", "Full Path 2")) .Items.Add(New Shortcut("Label3", "Full Path 3")) End With When the combo list isn't activated, the combo box shows the results of the toString function, for the specific instance that is selected. However, when I click the drop-down button, it shows a list of blank entries. Selecting a blank entry again shows the results of the toString function of the instance I apparently selected. How can I make each entry have a value whent he combobox drop-down list is showing, not just once a specific item in the list is selected. It's hard to make choices when there's only blank options =/. Thanks again! Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81267

    - ListView, IComparer & column-re-ordering... Hi All! I use a special ListViewItemComparer-class to sort items in a listview for any column, and I have also allowed column-reordering. So far so good, but if I click the columnheader of any column, and the columnorder is not 'default', the listview 'forget' my column-re-ordering (i.e 0 2 1), and sets column-order back to default (i.e. 0 1 2). Is there anyone that might know what I have forgot to code in my ListViewItemComparer-class? Some info: - I use VS 2003, framework 1.1 - I use SendMessage with LVM_SETCOLUMNORDERARRAY to set the columnorder at startup. TIA Per Rollvang Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81266

    - Threading Part 2 Hello and thank you for your assistance. I have attempted to accomplish what I need using delegates with no success. i.e. //Button Click// Dim PollThread As Threading.Thread PollThread = New Threading.Thread(AddressOf PollThreadAddress) PollThread.Start() End Sub Private Sub PollThreadAddress() frm1PollDatabase.TopMost = True frm1PollDatabase.ShowDialog() End Sub //Button Click inside frm1PollDatabase that raises an event inside the Parent Form// Delegate Sub FromMyPage() Dim MyDeleg As FromMyPage Private Sub ApplyMyPage MyDeleg = New FromMyPage(AddressOf DelegateFromMyPage) MyDeleg.Invoke() End Sub Private Sub DelegateFromMyPage() frm1Modify.showdialog End Sub ** frm1PollDatabase is created inside a new thread and must always be on top, which works fine. But when the user wants to send that data from this form to a new form (frm1Modify) the form is displayed but frm1PollDatabase becomes disabled because of the Showdialog method. I cannot use show for this form to be displayed. If the original thread (Main) displays this form wont it prevent this problem? The above code did not keep frm1PollDatabase from being disabled.

    - Window subclassing and mouse events VS.NET 2003, VB.NET, .NET 1.1 I'm working on a part of a project that is re-creating the Office 2003 mail notification window. I have almost everything done except for one part. I need to allow the user to move the window by clicking and dragging anywhere in the window (the window has no title bar.) Per many different sources, I have overridden the WndProc() method of my window thusly: --------------------------------- Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As System.Windows.Forms.Message) Call MyBase.WndProc(m) Select Case m.Msg Case WM_NCHITTEST If m.Result.ToInt32 = HTCLIENT Then m.Result = New IntPtr(HTCAPTION) End Select End Sub --------------------------------- When I run the form, all is well - almost. I have found that when I do this, I don't get any of my form's mouse events. I am doing a lot of hand-work here, so I have MouseEnter, MouseLeave, and MouseDown events coded. These perform various functions that simulate functionality I would normally get by using controls (buttons, linklabels, etc.) but chose not to use. My reasons for not using them is because of the functionality I am trying to simulate: 1. The form fades in to 20% transparency when it's shown. It then begins a timer for fade-out (time set by the user, with an application default provided.) 2. If the mouse moves into the form, it goes to 0% transparency (opaque). 3. If the mouse leaves the form, it returns to 20% transparency. 4. The form will fade away at the first opportunity - either when reaching the fade-out time, or when the mouse leaves the form, whichever happens *last*. Using controls caused MouseEnter and MouseLeave events to fire on the controls and form multiple all over the place, and I wasn't able to handle them in any sort of satisfactory way. So I dumped the controls and wrote it all by hand. Since I don't get the mouse events, nothing happens when the mouse moves within the form. The form does not go opaque, and the fade-out will happen even if the mouse is within the form. I suppose I could re-create the functionality within the WndProc() method, but I don't understand why I have to - since my custom WndProc() is not trapping mouse events, and the first thing I do is call the base method, those should still fire - right? What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated. TIA - Scott Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81249

I have created an MDI application. When the first child form is opened and maximized one set of minimize, restore and close buttons are displayed on the menu bar. After closing the child window a set of minimize, restore and close buttons remain even though the child form has been closed.

Each time a child form is opened and closed, another set of controls appears on the menu bar. When I open a new child form the multiple sets of buttons disappear. When the child form is maximized, only one set of buttons displays in the menu bar.

    - Control layout problem with system large fonts I have seen many people stating that they have the same problem. I have the font DPI setting set to 125% normal size (from the Display Properties dialog when you right-click on the Desktop). If a Windows Form is more than simle (has many controls), then the most chance is that when the Form is shown in runtime, the layout is somewhat in right condition (Some controls might position beyond the visible client area). I am not sure if Microsoft noticed this problem. I think it is a very *BAD* problem, based on that Microsoft/Windows have been strong in user friendly GUI since their beginning. My $0.02.

If the clipboard is double clicked, another window is displayed, the event is handled inside the main app. What I would like to do is have the clipboard use the main thread of the application that called it to handle the new window. Is this possible and if so how would this be accomplished. ie. Form1 creates a thread and the thread displays Form2. Form2 when double clicked raises an event that creates a new form (Form3). The event is handled inside Form1. How can I get Form3 to be managed by the main thread (Form1)? Thanks, Chuck Tag: DataGrid - using ArrayList as DataSource Tag: 81225

Assume you create an ArrayList containing 10 instances of some class. Let's
say it's a Person class with public properties FirstName and LastName. You
then set a winform DataGrid's DataSource property to be the ArrayList.

A user selects the 6th row in the datagrid. I can find the values of the
cells that have been selected, but what I'd really like it to be able to get
a reference to the Person instance that's been selected in the DataGrid
without iterating through the entire collection looking for a matching
primary key or similar.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

The CurrencyManager.Current property should return
the actual object.

You can get the CurrencyManager with the following code:
myGrid.BindingContext(myDataSource, myDataMember)
