Pass any information you want to in to the constructor of Settings form, and provide accessor methods for things you need out of there. public class SettingsForm : WinForm { private string m_Data; private int m_nExample = 0; // ctor public SettingsForm(string _data) { m_Data = data; // you can now use this in SettingsForm … Read more
In your Program.cs’ Main function you should also ensure that you’ve wrapped your call to open the form in a try/catch. Additionally use the AppDomain.UnhandledException to catch exceptions.

Without deriving a class, here is a neat snippet: http://www.dotnetthoughts.net/implementing-close-button-in-tab-pages/ Set the DrawMode property of the Tab Control to OwnerDrawFixed.

I may suggest NOT looping over each rows EACH time CellFormating is called, because it is called everytime A SINGLE ROW need to be refreshed. Private Sub dgv_DisplayData_Vertical_CellFormatting(sender As Object, e As DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs) Handles dgv_DisplayData_Vertical.CellFormatting Try If dgv_DisplayData_Vertical.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(“LevelID”).Value.ToString() = “6” Then e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.DimGray End If If dgv_DisplayData_Vertical.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(“LevelID”).Value.ToString() = “5” Then e.CellStyle.BackColor = Color.DarkSlateGray End … Read more
Just create another form (let’s call it formPopup) using Visual Studio. In a button handler write the following code: var formPopup = new Form(); formPopup.Show(this); // if you need non-modal window If you need a non-modal window use: formPopup.Show();. If you need a dialog (so your code will hang on this invocation until you close … Read more
If you want to retrieve the display text of the item, use the GetItemText method: string text = listBox1.GetItemText(listBox1.SelectedItem);
Define a class public class Language { public string Name { get; set; } public string Value { get; set; } } then… //Build a list var dataSource = new List<Language>(); dataSource.Add(new Language() { Name = “blah”, Value = “blah” }); dataSource.Add(new Language() { Name = “blah”, Value = “blah” }); dataSource.Add(new Language() { Name … Read more
