One thing you need to consider is that a Warning is not an Error in your code. It is what compiler believes should be done to make your code better. So, there is no error in your code and it should compile and execute.

Um...I'd disagree with you there, particularly with beginners.
Modern compilers are pretty damn good: if they flag something up as a warning, it normally means that you have done something wrong, and your code won't work as you expect:
if (a == b);
c(); Is a warning in C#...
In this case, a "Possible unintended reference comparison" warning normally means that you are comparing the item instead of it's property or some such - and that your code won't work.
These kind of problems can be extremely difficult to spot without the warning: you tend to read what you meant to write, so you mentally fill in the missing bit and it takes a long time to work out.
The "extra semicolon" error and the "but I meant a comparison" error in C could take hours to work out because the older compilers didn't even consider them worth a warning!
if (a = b) ... When you meant to write
if (a == b) ...

Well, I do not have that much knowledge about compilers, how objects are created in low-level programming languages, in high-level programming languages, an object can be created as simple as,
var name = "Hello world!";
And one doesn't even have to know what the object type is, where it is stored, how it is stored and so on. But, one thing that I do know is that a Warning shows bad code, not wrong code. There is a difference between them both, a bad code means that there is some sort of problem with the code which can be made better; e.g resources not called dispose or close function upon and so on.
Now coming to your claims, you said this code would throw warning,
if (a == b);
c();
But you didn't tell what type these objects hold. Are they strings, integers or a class object and so on. Also, there would again be a problem, the c, being static or not and so on. Now, let me talk about this scenario in a way, have a look at the following code,
using System;
public class Program
{
public static void Main()
{
string a = "", b = "";
if(a == b) {
new Program().c();
}
}
void c() {
Console.WriteLine("Hello world");
}
}
The output of this code in the Console was, "Hello world". And the only warning that I got was on the line System.Collections.Generic, I didn't remove it because I was working on something in that fiddle[^].
What I believe is, that that would never throw an error, unless you, yourself compare objects of different type where a casting would give good results; good code.
I didn't bother trying to notice that semi-colon mistake of yours Griff, because I know you intended to write that, on purpose, to make sure I get a sense of wrong code, which I did! You succeeded. 
The last thing there about the equality check or assignment operator, if someone has basic idea of these operators, he would never write equality check in a way someone would assign the value. If someone, by mistake does write the code in this way, I believe he doesn't even know the basics of operators in C# and he should learn them before doing anything at all.
Once again, I would say, a warning is compiler telling you that the source code would compile fine, would execute, but wait... you can write it this way to make it a better code. But I still want to know where I am wrong so that I can learn something.
Well, I hope that was not a lot for you to read. hehe

And there, in a nutshell, is the reason why warnings are significant.
The problem is nothing to do with the type of the object, the static or instance access to the method.
The problem is that the if is terminated by the semicolon at the end of the line, so the "c" method is always called regardless of the values in a and b...and it's a bugger to see - even when you know something is wrong.

Well I agree that semi-colon error is a problem for creating empty statement because there is no need of curly brackets, that is why I always prefer using curly brackets to save myself in these scenarios.

Curly brackets won't save you from that, they save you from this:
if (a == b)
c();
d();
if (a == b)
{
c();
d();
}And that is why I also always use brackets, even for a single line of code!

Yes, I was talking about using curly braces for code blocks, not to avoid the semi-colons.

Sometimes I wish there were an "Option Strict" compiler directive equivalent in C# to force having to declare the access modifier for every variable, prohibit use of 'var (except in special cases like with using 'dynamic, or the intermediate results of Linq queries, anonymous types, etc.), and require {} for every if/if-else block.
Why ? Because a lot of the coding mistakes I see with beginning students result from the "freedom" that C# does "give you" in writing code, and I think writing more verbose code that is "strict" is a good habit to learn ... in the beginning.
Now truly descriptive naming conventions ... oh, well, don't let me get started on that; I've already been accused of being a speed-typing chauvinist
In practice I find using ReSharper automates some of these guidelines for me quite nicely, but, of course, not everyone can afford to license it.

Absolutely! 
I hate var except where it's actually needed: Linq
What would be nice is a "autoconvert" option where you type
var x = ... and VS sorts out the context and if it can replaces it with the full type defintion:
Dictionary<Guid, MyClass> x = ... so they can't even complain about the extra time it takes to type it! Needless to say, it should default to "On" and be hard to find... 
My default projects are modified VS templates, which include "Warning level 4" and "Treat all warnings as errors" to make sure I can't get it wrong (or miss out on the XML documentation, since it won't compile without public method headers)

One comment on your use of ComboBox.SelectedIndex == 0 : if SelectedIndex is zero that indicates that the first Item in the ComboBoxItems collection is selected.
You probably want to test for -1, which indicates no selection has been made. Of course, if you know the selection index in advance at the time you present the Form to be filled out to the end-user, this is irrelevant.
Also, note that with the (WinForms) ComboBox:
"SelectedIndex, SelectedValue, and FormattingEnabled are related as follows:
If FormattingEnabled is false, SelectedIndex will not be set to -1 when SelectedValue is blank.
If FormattingEnabled is true, SelectedIndex will be set to -1 when SelectedValue is blank."
Also note: "To deselect the currently selected item, set the SelectedIndex to -1. You cannot set the SelectedIndex of a ComboBox item to -1 if the item is a data-bound item." [^]

For a source code, can be in the program, click on an empty control, appeared 8 designer as frame dragging with the mouse to change the size of the box, and can drag, select multiple controls, imitate the form designer.Thank you

Well, your question is NOT "very urgent". People who volunteer their time do so when they can, not when you demand it.
On top of that, because either your English is so bad or you're using the wrong terms to describe your problem, your "question" is completely incomprehensible.
|
|
|
|
|
Well, I have to agree with you, thank you.

I have to agree with Dave: this isn't urgent. It isn't even in my top one hundred things to do. It may be urgent to you, but it isn't to us. All that your stressing the urgency does is to make us think you have left it too late, and want us to do it for you. This annoys some people, and can slow a response.
And in this case, I can't give a response anyway: I have absolutely no idea what you are trying to do, or what help you need. This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.
Please try again, but this time trying to explain to someone who has no previous idea of what your project involves, or what help you might require. I.e. me!

Please use a decent translator, because your question does not actually carry any meaningful information.
And the rudeness of stating urgency like you do has already been reported.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who can extrapolate from incomplete data.

First, I know almost nothing about programming so I'll need more detailed instructions. I need to change the "MaxDate" value in a program so that I could set later dates in it (the latest that you could use is 28.12.2007 I think). As far as I know the program is written in C#. It also has a file called "ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll" in its main directory if that could be helpful to you. I really hope that you'll be able to help me.

If you know almost nothing about programming, and we know nothing about this program, then I doubt anyone could walk you through making changes to it.

What kind of information do I need to provide about the program that could help you to give me an advice?
