Your problem may be resolved by using a StringBuilder for the result buffer and I'll point you to a reference showing the win32 api function GetWindowText which returns a string. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301501.aspx[^] [DllImport("sn25.dll", EntryPoint = "****")] static extern int snod(string host, string port, string user, string passwd, string cert, string CAert, string Nodtjänst, string arg, string extra, StringBuilder result, int buf); You'd then call your function like this // create a 1K buffer StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(1024); int res = snod(............, sb, sb.Capacity); string resultStr = sb.ToString(); Also make sure that you know what type of encoding the result string uses, i.e. Ansi or Unicode and set CharSet appropriately in your DllImport attribute. I'm not an expert at this so can't guarantee that these suggestions will work, but hopefully... Alan.

yes i know.. but i want it to be on print page2 in the same position like page1. Regards!!

I've tested the listView and it displays them fine. Are you specifying the encoding to use when reading your file as I think that's where your problem is? System.Text.Encoding swedishEncoding; swedishEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8; //Or if that doesn't work; swedishEncoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(437); //To read System.IO.StreamReader swedishReader = new System.IO.StreamReader("myPathHere", swedishEncoding, false);

First of all : Avoid declaring many variables. So Instead of void myTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { string a = ""; int tid1 = 0; int tid2 = 0; a = label21.Text; tid1 = Convert.ToInt32(a); tid2 = (int)tid1 - nr; label21.Text = tid2.ToString(); } You can just use which is more readable. void myTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { label21.Text = (Convert.ToInt32(label21.Text) - nr).ToString(); } We can understand that you are decrementing a number and displaying it in a textBox. Your question is "string (nr) has change to 2 and next time 3". - nr is not a string, nr is a static int So what do you mean by this? Do you mean the text is being incremented instead of decrementing. Well this is impossible as you see that there is no addition code in myTimer_Tick(). Best Regards.

... and you don't want to know what we'll do after that. :suss:

The TimeSpan structure has a Ticks property that gives you the time as a long value, and a constructor that takes a long value. Example: TimeSpan duration = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10); int ticks = (int)duration.Ticks; int pages = 10; int calculatedTicks = ticks * 100 / pages; TimeSpan calculatedTime = new TimeSpan((long)calculatedTicks); --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

You should revise your knowledge about variable visibility and their life time. void A() { string str = new string(); str = "text"; // At the end of the method str dies. } void B() { string str = new string(); // allocates a new variable regardles the name is the same. Console.WriteLine(str); // str is equal to "" here. } To stop a timer you must not declare it as a local variable. Timer oT = new Timer(); private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { string[] lines1 = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("inställningar.txt"); string path1 = lines1[8]; string tid = lines1[0]; int dimension = Convert.ToInt32(tid); //Timer oT = new Timer(); oT.Interval = dimension; oT.Start(); } private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Timer oT = new Timer(); // Did you mean "-="? //oT.Tick += new System.EventHandler(Timerfunction); oT.Tick -= TimerFunction; oT.Stop(); } Greetings - Gajatko Portable.NET is part of DotGNU, a project to build a complete Free Software replacement for .NET - a system that truly belongs to the developers.

I'm pretty sure the point of the assignment is for "you" to figure that out rather than for you to go out on the internet and ask people how to do it. I mean really, you are in school now, if this is not the time when you are going to start thinking for yourself and developing problem solving skills, when are you?

yes always ONE letters and fallowed by 6 numbers... it makes all little bit harder... thanks!!! BUT the last number, is a string hwo starts with 1 like this: string ett = "1"; for exampel: K44322+(ett) = K443221 So "ett" is the only one hwo going to change! Thanks man i´m stuck now need your help!

As you are reading the input file, you should generate a corresponding output file. Copy only the data you want to keep from the input file to the output file. When you have finished reading the input file, overwrite it with the output file. aul

ok... i check it out.. string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("dataapplikationer.txt"); Int32 index = 0; while (lines.Length >= index + 10) { if ("#" != lines[index].Trim()) { index++; continue; } String appl = lines[index + 1]; String path = lines[index + 2]; String dest = lines[index + 3]; String pris = lines[index + 4]; String sort = lines[index + 5]; index += 10; System.IO.DirectoryInfo subDI = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(path); foreach (String sub in Directory.GetDirectories(path)) { foreach (String file in Directory.GetFiles(sub, "*.ini")) { String row5 = File.ReadAllLines(file)[4]; String section = row5.Substring(9, 6); String subName = sub.Substring(sub.LastIndexOf(@"\") + 1); DateTime time = DateTime.Now; ListViewItem item = new ListViewItem(new string[] { sort, subName.ToString(), time.ToString(), "Summa tid", section, "AD", pris, appl }); this.listView2.Items.Add(item); this.listView2.AutoResizeColumns(ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.HeaderSize); } } } but how do i build it together in this code i want the sort, subName.Tostring() to compare in all items in listview1 and if it founds one equal then calculate time "summa tid" and pass by "av"?? Please man! help me build it together... peace! ;P;):doh:

you need to copy all subitems, not just the first.

result += (float)(lvi.SubItems[4].Text) * (float)(lvi.SubItems[5].Text); And also note that result should now be a float, not an int. I didn't even consider that you were using "," as the decimal separator. I am so used to using ".", that I didn't even consider the alternative. Sorry for the confusion. -Jeff

no that´s just an example.. On a button_click event string q = textBox1.Text; string w = textBox2.Text; string[] lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(".txt"); Int32 index = 0; while (lines.Length >= index + 10) { if ("#" != lines[index].Trim()) { index++; continue; } String username = lines[index + 0]; String password = lines[index + 1]; index += 1; if (q = username && w = password) something like this.. but its wrong, how do i start a search on textbox1.text on row0 and textbox2.text are gonna be below.. or something??? tnx:laugh:;);P:^):( -- modified at 12:47 Friday 7th September, 2007
