spiritboy wrote: i did not contradict myself Sorry, whether you realize it or not, you are contradicting yourself. You say: spiritboy wrote: i am not trying to open port for second time and then: spiritboy wrote: the process that is using the port is one of windows processes. So slowly. The reason that you cannot open the serial port the second time is because you already have it open with another program! That is what the other process is! If you want to open the serial port again, you have to shut down the other program, process or alien intelligence that is using it first. Whether you started the process or Windows started the process does not matter at all. You can only have the serial port open by one process at a time. Why is common sense not common?

but when i am connected at the internet through dialup, i can not bind to its com port, and open the port to send and recieve.

yes I know, but it runs on kernel mode. you must write the code in C, like WinPCap. It's not possible creating it directly using C#.

Sorry about the previous post. You can't reuse the same instance of a button (resources are dictionaries) twice. Besides that resource extensions don't let you specify dependency properties so you won't be able to set the Grid.Row property for example. So I think you should use either styles or maybe custom controls. Here is a tested code. <Grid> <Grid.Resources> <Style x:Key="HelloWorldButton" TargetType="{x:Type Button}"> <EventSetter Event="Click" Handler="Button_Click" /> <Setter Property="Content" Value="Hello, world!" /> </Style> </Grid.Resources> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition /> <ColumnDefinition /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition /> <RowDefinition /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Button Style="{StaticResource HelloWorldButton}" /> <Button Grid.Column="1" /> <Button Grid.Row="1" /> <Button Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Style="{StaticResource HelloWorldButton}" /> </Grid> private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { var sndr = sender as Button; if (sndr != null) { var gridRow = (int)sndr.GetValue(Grid.RowProperty); var gridColumn = (int)sndr.GetValue(Grid.ColumnProperty); MessageBox.Show("Hello, world!" + Environment.NewLine + "Button at row " + gridRow + ", column " + gridColumn + " was clicked."); } } Eslam Afifi

If thread2 is a UI thread, all you need to do is call Invoke/BeginInvoke on one of the controls created on that thread. Otherwise, the typical way is to share a queue between the two threads, and have the second thread watch the queue and process commands as they come in.

Does the worker() method create a Form? What do the event handlers for Job1, Job2 and Job3 do - update the form created inside worker? If you're getting a CrossThread exception, it means you're updating *some* UI control from the wrong thread - it doesn't necessary have to be the main Form.

Iam not malik0092 and the answer is different! i want to identify my processes for example iexplore.exe and opera.exe and divide internet bandwidth between them!

SetForegroundWindow: makes the specified window the current foreground window and gives it the focus. This function should only be used with windows which your program owns. Of course this function should be used with caution, since the user usually doesn't expect the foreground window to change unexpectedly. The function tells Windows to somehow draw the user's attention to the window, such as by flashing its icon in the taskbar. The function returns 1 if successful, or 0 if an error occured. maybe i should disable the feature of flashing in taskbar?

Really Thanks For Ur kind answerts! i won't forget them

MAybe you can do something with IPv4InterfaceStatistics[^] which is returned by GetIPv4Statistics[^] which is a member of NetworkInterface[^]

No you shouldn't include the SQL Server install as part of your install. Usually when SQL Server comes into play it is installed and configured as a seperate task. As mentioned before, a license would need to be purchased to use the product on the up and up. The sequence in which you install your application doesnt not matter, you will just need to know the specifics of the SQL Server and your application would then be able to connect. In the past I've just had a SQL Svr property page in which you define the svr name, logon parameters, database name and port. Schott

Hi, I still don't get the overall architecture of your app. If you want help, then please explain yourself. This is what I got so far: - it is a server app; AFAIK most servers create a thread for every incoming request, so each request can get handled at its own pace (the alternative of just queueing all requests and handling them one by one does not scale well). - you use AcceptTcpClient() which is a blocking call; if you do this on the main thread, the GUI dies until a client comes in??? otherwise, you need a separate thread that accepts clients and dispatches them. suggestions: - explain the architecture, using real names; - show actual code, not just a skeleton; but not hundreds of lines, just the relevant pieces. - when in doubt about threading use either someControl.InvokeRequired; whenever it returns true you need to use (Begin)Invoke - and/or when in doubt about threading, log the Thread.CurrentThread.ManagedThreadId so you can compare it to the one of the GUI thread (by logging ManagedThreadId say inside a form load handler). :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] I use ListBoxes for line-oriented text output (not TextBoxes), and PictureBoxes for pictures (not drawings).
