View 4 RepliesMy application first checks if an SQL Server is installed before it runs. If there is no server it installs one. Now I want the application to pause or exit during the installation, since its thread may compromise the installation process, or is it not?. How do I do this? The Sleep() mmethod may not help because I can't know how long the installation process would take.
View 2 RepliesI want to insert a pause between the display of one control (a button) and the display of another control (a label) on a windows form. Specifically, I want the form to load with the button (and other controls) displayed, then, after a pause of two seconds, the label to display. I have tried timers, and .Sleep() but the effect is not what I want. That is, there is a pause before all of the controls are displayed, and all (including the label) are displayed at one time. I want most of the controls (all except the label) to display normally, then, after a two second pause, I want the label to display (on the same form).
View 6 RepliesI have a loop and within that loop I'm running a Dispatcher Timer.[code]Basically what I want is to show each item in the items list pausing after each on for 5 seconds. I want to show elapsed time in a label and after the elapsed time hits 5 seconds show the next item. This is not possible using the Thred.Sleep method, because it just freezes my application for 5 seconds, and shows the next item without ever updating the label with elapsed time.So what to use instead of Thread.Sleep to not freeze the application and update the label with elapsed time?

2) I have some solutions under 2010. In 2 or 3, while debugging, I can change instructions without restarting the application. In others, I cannot change anything (Is like readonly), Looking in 'My Applications', Tab 'Debug', Option 'Configuration' I can choose several Options. In the applications I can debug, the default is 'Active (Debug)'; in the others is 'Active (Release)'. If I change the options, the word 'Active' remains attached to the original option.

View 2 RepliesWhen a button is clicked,my program gets the list of all Drives on a current computer.Then I use String.Concat to merge the drive letter and the rest of the path.So I get something like: "C:" + "somefoldersomefile.some_extension"That creates a full path to a file I am looking for.Then I check if that file exists.If it doesn't exist,I use Process.Start to run the setup file(to install the program I need).It works well and installs the program I need.I want my application,after the installation is finished,to check again if the program is installed and ofcourse confirm that it is.

I am moving a lot of data to MS Excel from my application. I use a conditional statement to choose which Excel page the data is transferred into. Then a For Next statement to divide the data into various areas on the Excel sheet.The first sheet will always work correctly, but on the next conditional statement to chose the next Excel sheet no data transfers when running the program. If I step the program by hand all data all code works fine. I believe I need to pause between the conditional statements but I have been unable to get one to work.In the following code I have been trying to get a pause between to conditional statement to no avail.

View 19 RepliesIn my program, if something goes wrong an ErrorForm is supposed to show up and tell what was going wrong.
And if the error is a "fatal type", then I want the program just display the ErrorForm (which gives some information about the error), wait for a button press, and then close the program (terminate run).
In case of error, the form is displayed.. That's good.
But as the program is supposed to terminate after showing the error form, the error form disappears immediately after showing up (so it doesn't allow the user any time to read what's going wrong).
How can I make the program wait until a button press (on the error form) and then terminate?
