I got it working!! Thanks for your help!! :) It turns out I was missing "new": theParent.FormClosing += new FormClosingEventHandler(this.updateLogsOnClose);

I've been looking into this some more, and I think the reason flow in the parent is not seeing the overridden ValidateDynData in the child is because of the way I get flow into the parent from the child class: Is there another way to get to the parent's method without creating an instance of the parent? GenericPC baseInst = new GenericPC(); return baseInst.GetPC(cbInst, dllSel, templ, dll, cert0, slaveIndex, BoxID);

Loko at what type the Size property takes, it's an instance of Size. Look at the properties of Size, Height and Width. Sooooo, you just make a new instance of a Size with the new values: using System.Drawing; . . . Size newSize = new Size(controls\[i\].Size.Width / 4, controls\[i\].Size.Height / 4); controls\[i\].Size = newSize; A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak

I just use Threads, not BackgroundWorkers, and I always set them for lower Priority.

Not with a background worker - the whole point is that it's meant to work in the background. If it has a higher priority, then this would slow down your application and will lead to a poor user experience. I was brought up to respect my elders. I don't respect many people nowadays.

@jibesh - I added an interface (see my recent question), and my event is null when I try to update my progress bar. I know you have a good idea about events and interfaces. If you could take a look at my newly posted question(Thursday post maybe), I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

MichCl wrote: class ... to put the Mode definition in An enumeration is a type and doesn't need to be in a class. You could put the enumeration and interface definition in their own project/DLL and reference it from the others, but generally a DLL should hold more than just those two things.

I figured it out. My dll was out of date that was being referenced/called from the above line of code.

I ran into some issues with the other idea and now I'm using your idea. Works great! Instead of using the timestamp, though, I set a boolean flag, and reset it when I'm ready for a second click.

The Control.Invoke method has an object return type and so with an appropriate delegated method any information can be obtained from a Control. e.g. private delegate Color ColourDelegate(Control c); private void GetColourInfo(Control c) { // With explicit method Color bgcol = (Color)c.Invoke(new ColourDelegate(GetColour), c); // or with an anonymous method Color bgcol2 = (Color)c.Invoke(new ColourDelegate(delegate { return c.BackColor; })); } private Color GetColour(Control ctrl) { return ctrl.BackColor; } Alan.

Suppose you add the event handler like this: myButton.Click += MyButton_Click; Well, to remove the reference, all you need do is myButton.Click -= MyButton_Click; *pre-emptive celebratory nipple tassle jiggle* - Sean Ewington "Mind bleach!

I was being a bit (OK, very) toungue-in-cheek. 99.99% of the time I really wouldn't do this. In this case he exception is very unimportant, for various reasons I'd have to write my own logging infrastructure (which would take longer than the rest of the change, and my code is slated for replacement by an MVC app very soon) and I can't handle in code as the try-block is calling out to an asmx service and I'm guarding against technical errors. I could, I suppose tighten which errors are being caught. Sort of a cross between Lawrence of Arabia and Dilbert.[^] -Or- A Dead ringer for Kate Winslett[^]

Yes. I still have to try writing the data to the chip to test it, but hopefully all is good (encoding) when I do.

You can have an array (or list) of textboxes. That's not a problem. *pre-emptive celebratory nipple tassle jiggle* - Sean Ewington "Mind bleach! Send me mind bleach!" - Nagy Vilmos CodeStash - Online Snippet Management | My blog | MoXAML PowerToys | Mole 2010 - debugging made easier

That helped a lot. Thanks! It looks like it can't find a file that the class it's trying to invoke is trying to use. I had pulled some code into it's own SerialNumber class. That's the problem. Thank you!
