Fishy += opperator

Check this out...

	private void buttonProgress\_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
	{

		string byteFile2=this.textBoxActiveData.Text;
		this.timer2.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer2\_Tick);
		
		FileInfo myFileInfo = new FileInfo(byteFile2);
		long lSize = myFileInfo.Length;
		string gNiggas=lSize.ToString();

		seconds=lSize/350;


	
	}

on the Event Handler line, what is the += doing? here is what it is calling...

	protected void timer2\_Tick (object sender, System.EventArgs e)
	{
		this.timer2.Start();

		int f=1;
		int p=1;

		for(f=1; f<20; f++)
		{
			p++;
			
			if(f==19)
			{
				f=200;
				this.timer2.Stop();
		
				MessageBox.Show(f.ToString());
			}
			progressBar.Value=p;
		}
		//MessageBox.Show("END OF PROGRESS BAR");
		progressBar.Value=0;


	}

anyways... the problem is... I can run the timer2_Tick once. But when I click on the button again it won't go... what is stopping it from re executing? /\ |_ E X E GG

Also move this.timer2.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer2_Tick); line to the constructor or any place where it will run only once. Alexandre Kojevnikov MCAD charter member Leuven, Belgium

I don't understand what you want me to do with .... this.timer2.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer2_Tick); /\ |_ E X E GG

you need to put : this.timer2.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer2_Tick); in an area like the "#region Windows Form Designer generated code" is what Alexandre was trying to say. then the timer will always work when you click the button :)

oops lost my name for that post :| ^^^^^

I would suggest the delegate part 2 article on this site

The idea between events and delegates here is that when your timers tick event is fired you want to register a new method to be called, hence a callback function which is defined under .NET as a delegate. Essentially there is a linked list of functions that allow you to either += add or -= remove delegates from the chain. You should probably just specify the event/delegate within your constructor code, there is no reason to re-register this everytime. -Nick Parker
