A switch statement can take an enum because:
"Every enumeration type has an underlying type, which can be any integral type except char." source MSDN[^]

In your situation this helps because you can use the GetTypeCode() method which returns an enum member.

deciaml d = 0;
switch (d.GetTypeCode())
{
    case TypeCode.Decimal:
        Console.WriteLine("It's a deciaml");
        break;
    case TypeCode.Int32:
        Console.WriteLine("It's an int");
        break;
    default:
        Console.WriteLine("WTF?");
        break;
}

Focus Issue

I have created a project which contains a main window form that spawns a series of new windows forms which are Top most application. Upon creation of each new window the focus stays with the current application( Firefox for example) as desired.

The problem occurs after I close one of the spawned windows using (this.close). The spawned form correctly returns focus to the users application which had focus last. However when the next spawn appears, the focus is taken away and given to this program.

Any Ideas?

Are you still operating forms in multiple threads. My example using timers to create and show a second form still never steals the focus from another application like Notepad. I just keep typing into Notepad while my second form appears on top then, on a timer, closes, then appears again, and closes again.

I am no longer using multiple threads. When the timer fires and a second form popups up, close this form, but either do not click on the main form, or have it minimized. When the next fires do you retain focus? This is where the problem is.

As I stated, From Form1 I create and show Form2 as TopMost. Form2 has it's own timer and closes itself. This repeats Three times until finally only Form1 is open, all the while I am typing in Notepad.

When you say it closes itself does the app close it? I would like the user to close the form when they are done with it.

Ah, I missed that, yes when I close it (the user) then it produces the problem you have reported when it opens the next time.

This appears to be a Windows Forms behavior because I cannot reproduce the problem in my MFC example.

Assignment statement malfunction?

This is weird; I'm assigning a Rectangle to another Rectangle, and the width doesn't change:

viewPortInstance.Bounds = layoutSize;

layoutSize is: {X = 0 Y = 0 Width = 800 Height = 400}

Before the statement is executed, viewPortInstance.Bounds is: {X = 0 Y = 0 Width = 1018 Height = 266}
After the statement, viewPortInstance.Bounds is: {X = 0 Y = 0 Width = 1018 Height = 400} ?!

The width didn't change! (layoutSize is the same.) viewPortInstance is a PictureBox.

I also tried:

viewPortInstance.Bounds = new Rectangle (layoutSize.Location, layoutSize.Size);

with the same results.

Then when I looked at layoutSize.Size with QuickWatch, the "value" was: "The runtime has refused to evaluate the expression at this time." Excuse me? I didn't know it had a choice in the matter!

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Hi,

Try overriding SetBoundsCore of PictureBox. The Bounds property setter isn't always actually changing the values.

Thanks Mika; reading the documentation on SetBoundsCore () made me realize that the docking/anchoring properties of the PictureBox are probably what's causing this behavior.

Does anyone have the simple C# code for showing a butterfly flying across the screen. The one I remember from years ago used only two jpg pictures.

Thanks,

I doubt anyone would have pre-made code of something you saw ages ago. However I can give a few suggestions:

.NET 1.+
You can use the ImageAnimator class to animate a gif image which would contain the images of the butterfly. You would then have to repaint and move the butterfly along a predetermined path that meets your criteria

.NET 3.0
Use Expression Blend to create a timeline using the butterfly images that you have already created.

Hey, just wondering what the best method would be for storing simple objects in an mysql table.

<br />
public class Address<br />
{<br />
	public int Number { get; set; }<br />
	public int Unit { get; set; }<br />
	public string Street { get; set; }<br />
	public string City { get; set; }<br />
	public string Province { get; set; }<br />
	public string Country { get; set; }<br />
	public string PostalCode { get; set; }<br />
