Otherwise, I am confused about what you want. Perhaps an example would help. Or, if you already have what you need, well that'll work too. David

Thanks for the quick response... Yeah, I made a silly mistake... It is working fine now... Thanks again, Phil "Rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men"

Sorry my bad, Is that my brain sleeping? :zzz: I think it is!

Phil, I went back to work on that project and got groups working. How are you doing with it? "Alot of the people on this forum are incredibly stupid, thinking that the internet is real" Score: 1.0 in the Soap Box

Have you set a breakpoint to work out exactly which line throws the error ? Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

Ahh now this sound like my kind of tool. I planned on writing something similar once to graphically map transactions as they moved through BizTalk. When you use an ArrayList or List<> the structure is such that an initial size is created and dynamically grows as you add additional items. It is better in the performance department if you generally know how many items will go into the array, but it is not a necessity. You can also deploy custom dictionaries as well so you may want to do something like this: Applications go into a List (all the applications inherit the same interface making it easy to store different programs but treat them as the same type) Application fires a trigger event Listener (your code) plots that event but also adds to a Dictionary ReceivedEventEventHandler(object sender, ListenerEventArgs e) { ICommunicator details = (ICommunicator)sender; PlotEvent(details.Name, e.EventObject); dictionary[details.Name].Add(e); } Now you can expose a menu selection to show historical event data for any program in the list, trending across applications, frequency of events across time, and other fun statistical stuff.

I'm assuming that "\r\n\r\n" is the marker you are trying to use to indicate the end of the stream. You would want to do something like this: string ami_response = ""; // Check to see if this NetworkStream is readable. if (ami_client_stream.CanRead) { byte[] ami_response_buffer = new byte[ami_buffer_size]; MemoryStream ami_memory_stream = new MemoryStream(); int ami_bytes_read = 0; myCompleteMessage = new StringBuilder(); // Incoming message may be larger than the buffer size. do { ami\_bytes\_read = ami\_client\_stream.Read(ami\_response\_buffer, 0, ami\_response\_buffer.Length); myCompleteMessage.AppendFormat("{0}", Encoding.ASCII.GetString(ami\_response\_buffer, 0, ami\_bytes\_read)); } while (ami\_client\_stream.DataAvailable); ami\_response = myCompleteMessage.ToString(); } return ami_response;

Not a problem, at least you explained your problem more thouroughly than other people.

All you have to do is bind your events at the time you create each context menu item. You would basically be doing in abstract code, what the designer does with hard coded code. foreach ( string element in myListofThings ) { ToolStripMenuItem menu = new ToolStripMenuItem(); menu.Name = element.ToLower(); menu.Text = element; menu.Click+=new SystemEventHandler(HandleContextClick); myContextMenu.Add( menu ); foreach ( string subElement in SubElementList ) { ToolStripMenuItem submenu = new ToolStripMenuItem(); blah blah blah submenu.Click+=new SystemEventHandler(HandleSubContextClick); } } :suss:
