Off topic question regarding Picture example

Post by classicmydac » Fri 28 Jul 2006 12:44

I am adapting the example to suit my own application. Everything is working well. I can get data from our pocket PC devices back to the main server.

I now need to add this project to my main project(This collects data & images). I am struggling understanding adding froms from one project to another.

In Picture Project what makes the connect form appear first and where is the call to close the form & open main form?

Any help appreciated.

Code: Select all

      connectForm.ShowDialog();
This makes the connect form appear first.
Clicking Connect button (provided correct credentials were specified) closes connect form and returns control to the main form.

Samples

Thanks for the help.

As a newbie to VS & C#. I have used your delphi product for a few years. I have found the samples do most of what people require. I presume most newbies do as I do. Find a sample app that does a basic process(eg connect and update MYSQL) then adapt it and add the funcunality to my application.

I have found it difficult and time consuming understanding the Pictures example but can now populate a grid and send the data back to MYSQL server. I think it would be more beneficial if you had some very simple apps that do a specific task then a beginner does not have to work out the other logic within the example.

Hope this helps

Brilliant product keep up the good work.

Pictures sample is very simple as it is. What did you not understand?
