form prob
OK, I'm not sure if I understand your problem, but you need to do three things. 1. Create a property in the dialog (form) you wish to display so that you can extract the information out of a textbox. public class Welcome : System.Windows.Forms.Form { ... public string Payment {...- snowmaster

NextResult
Hi there, Actually, you need to use NextResult for every result set you request after the first one. The fact that you use the GetXXX is good. These methods return typed information which do not require further conversion and thus are the ones to use if you absolutely must use a DataReader...- snowmaster

Running script while PC locked

convert string to float
Just to put my 2c worth... you can use the following: string str = "2.354"; float flt = float.Parse(str); The Parse method is handy because it exists for every built-in function and a few more objects besides. The Parse method for the float type also has an overload which allows you to...- snowmaster

Instantiating an object whose type is not known until runtime?
Hi, I think what you're trying to do is instantiate various objects depending on the situation. One way is to instantiate the object before you enter the AddItem method and pass it as an argument: MySpecialObject obj = new MySpecialObject(); anobject.AddItem(obj); ... public class AnObject...- snowmaster

What about ASCX controls
Hi, Since a user control (ascx) is a class and self-contained, the only way to communicate is to use properties. If, for instance, you have a Textbox (txtLastName) on your form, write a property to access it. public string LastName { get { return txtLastName.Text; } set {...- snowmaster

string limit
Hi, Both the posts are right. However, because the string cannot change size once it is allocated, it is better to use a System.Text.StringBuilder if you want to concatenate or play around with the string. Allocation of a StringBuilder object is dynamic and much more performant. It has...- snowmaster

close-open
Hi, I'm not sure at what moment you're trying to run this, but the controlling program needs to be in the same scope. For instance: If you were trying to display a splash screen, you would write the following: [STAThread] static void Main() { Form1 frm = new Form1(); frm.ShowDialog()...- snowmaster

For instance, Before the declaration for your first form (you can also create all enumerators ina seperate file), declare a new enumerator: public enum MenuSelected { None, ItemOne...- snowmaster
