Using Invoke() to show Form from Threading.Time() thread

c#,.net,multithreading,winforms,.net-3.5

When you call MainForm.Invoke you're telling the form to schedule the operation provided to be run from the application loop the form is running in. When you're calling that method your form has no application loop, and as such there's nothing to run the operation that you've scheduled, so it...

Array of DataGridViews in C#

c#,forms,winforms,user-interface,user-controls

If you're generating the DataGridViews dynamically then you can use exactly the approach you propose. Instances of controls on a form are objects in C# like any other, so you can hold a reference to those objects in an array. Not knowing much of your code, this is a bit...

Form controls not showing

You're never calling your FrmLogin.Frm method. If you intend this to be a constructor, drop the void and rename it to FrmLogin, like so: public FrmLogin() { this.Size = new Size(400, 600); Button btn = new Button(); btn.Text = "Something"; btn.Size = new Size(10, 10); btn.Location = new Point(10, 10);...

What does ToolStripProfessionalRenderer.OnRenderItemBackground do?

c#,winforms,gdi,renderer,toolstrip

All the stock ToolStripItems you can add with the designer already render their own background. So what you draw with your OnRenderItemBackground() override is immediately over-painted again. So ProfessionalToolStripRender simply doesn't override the method since nothing needs to be done. The base class method, ToolStripRender.OnRenderItemBackground(), doesn't do anything either. Note...

Remove axis line from chart c#

c#,winforms,charts

For some reason neither setting the LineWidth works nor making the LineColor = Color.Transparent, which usually works fine for Chart elements. But you can set it to have the same Color as the Chart's BackColor: chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.LineColor = chart1.BackColor; To remove a few ore things you can write this: chart1.ChartAreas[0].AxisX.MajorGrid.Enabled =...

Custom Numericupdown

Well, you don't have enough code. Not so sure I'd recommend this, moving the "focus" from one value to another isn't exactly very intuitive. You'll get better UI from simply using two NUDs.
