obviously...i said it's been that way since i installed VS (after formatting) =/

Hi, when a Panel does not contain any other Control, has double-buffering set up correctly, and has all its drawing in its Paint handler, the only way I can think of to get flickering is by having a bug in either your animation logic or your paint logic (unless you are showing/hiding other stuff on top of it of course). I have several apps that work this way, including a complex text editor; all work just fine, not a single glitch to be seen. As most often, my advice is to include code for logging/tracing so you can check things happen when they should, and more importantly in this case, dont happen when they should not. :) Luc Pattyn try { [Search CP Articles] [Search CP Forums] [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] } catch { [Google] }

If you're using Visual Studio open up Program.cs and remove the line Application.EnableVisualStyles(); inside the Main function. This is what tells the app to use the Windows XP theme; doing this will remove the visual styles from every control in the app.

Here is an excellent article about that: http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/screen_capturing.asp[^] #region signature my articles #endregion

yes it answers the " and leaves a gap down " part. Luc Pattyn [My Articles]

Hi, Hope I didn't missunderstood your problem. Why not having a static string : public static string myString = "hello all"; so you have no need of creating a program object Marc PS: ElapsedEventHandler do not require a static method try: t.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(this.MyNonStaticMethod);

A process can only access its own memory, so you need to inject a library into the target process. I don't think you can inject the .NET runtime into a running process (though another injected library may load .NET), so what you're trying to do is probably impossible with C#. There are articles here on CodeProject that show how to do it with C++.

Process.StandardOutput Property[^] Take a look at the first example. It shows how to read from a redirected stream and wait for the child process to exit.

This type of information is available in the WMI[^] classes. Most of what you want would be in the Win32_xxx classes. Using WMI from managed code is not well documented (IMHO) but it is possible. ----------------------------- In just two days, tomorrow will be yesterday.

Yes, casting only one of the operands is the minimum required to make it work. That would decide what operator to use, so the other operator will also be cast to the same type. Whether it's done implicitly or explicitly, the generated code will be the same. I prefer doing explicit casting in situations like this. It shows the intention of the code more clearly than if one relies on implicit conversions. --- single minded; short sighted; long gone;

The else code runs on the UI thread. When you call BeginInvoke or Invoke and pass it a delegate, .NET calls the delegate on the UI thread. In your example, you passed the same function as the delegate. When .NET calls the function on the UI thread, InvokeRequired will be false and the else code will run on the UI thread. Have a look at What's up with BeginInvoke[^] to know more about this. Regards Senthil [MVP - Visual C#] _____________________________ My Blog | My Articles | My Flickr | WinMacro

Well, if you look up the documentation for the SmtpClient[^] class you'll see you can specify Credentials[^].

From what I know of SMTP (admittedly not much) you don't need to set up a server, you just have to know how to communicate with the receiver's e-mail provider. But whichever method you choose, just make sure it fits the situation. A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not, the Pierian Spring. —Alexander Pope

If you said precisely what you want and what you don't want we wouldn't have to guess... :( Anyway, in that case you should start reading about the WAV format. Basically you create a buffer for the audio data, write a WAVEFORMAT (look it up in MSDN) to it and add the samples you want to play. That's the most flexible you can get.

Hi, IMHO: Flush() is meaningful only if you dont plan on closing right away; it means "send this through, before I produce more". I use Flush() when tracing a program's progress to a file, so when the program suddenly crashes, the file contains all traces including the very last that was called. FileStream.Dispose(): on .NET 1.1 only exists as Dispose(bool) and is protected, you cant call it; you should call Dispose() for each object that offers a public Dispose(), but you cant call a protected one (unless you are inheriting from the class). on .NET 2.0 exists and is public but the doc says "is not intended to be used directly from your code", so dont call it ! Close() is the one that MUST be called, it tells everything is done. And according to the doc it calls Dispose(bool) itself. Conclusion: call either Flush() if you plan on producing more but want to make sure what you already have gets processed, or Close() if you're done. Dont call both. BTW looking at the (current) implementation is not a sound base for deciding what function to call, reading the doc is. :) Luc Pattyn [My Articles]
