Hello, when I press the X in the top right hand corner of the application, I get a messagebox. The messagebox ask me a Yes/No question. If I press YES, all is good and the application closes. When I press NO, I can continue to use the application. Now the problem. If I press NO, then I can never press the X in the top right hand corner. It's as if the NO answer disables the ability to ever close the application again. How can I say NO and be able to press the X again when I want to close the application later?
Code:
private void DXWindow_Closing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
var result =
MessageBox.Show(
Properties.Resources.MainWindowMsgBox3 + Environment.NewLine +
Properties.Resources.MainWindowMsgBox4 + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine +
Properties.Resources.MainWindowMsgBox5,
Properties.Resources.MainWindowMsgBox6, MessageBoxButton.YesNo, MessageBoxImage.Question,
MessageBoxResult.No);
Log.Info("User engaged Application Closure Event");
switch (result)
{
case MessageBoxResult.Yes:
Log.Info("Main Window Closed");
OnClosed(e);
Application.Current.Shutdown();
break;
case MessageBoxResult.No:
e.Cancel = true;
break;
}
}

First, I think you should call the base OnClosing method, not the OnClosed as you do. Second, you should call this base handler in both cases, as it will take care with proper action, whether or not event has been cancelled:
var result =
MessageBox.Show(
Properties.Resources.MainWindowMsgBox3 + Environment.NewLine +
Properties.Resources.MainWindowMsgBox4 + Environment.NewLine + Environment.NewLine +
Properties.Resources.MainWindowMsgBox5,
Properties.Resources.MainWindowMsgBox6, MessageBoxButton.YesNo, MessageBoxImage.Question,
MessageBoxResult.No);
Log.Info("User engaged Application Closure Event");
switch (result)
{
case MessageBoxResult.Yes:
Log.Info("Main Window Closing");
break;
case MessageBoxResult.No:
e.Cancel = true;
break;
}
base.OnClosing(e);
The whole point of setting the Cancel property is to let the base handler know which action to take (close or cancel).
Hope this helps.

That's not working either. All it does is ask over and over again if I want to close the application. Did I mention this was inside a Closing event on the window?
private void DXWindow_Closing(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)

Oups, I misread; yes you're right, you did not override the base handler, so there is no point calling it. What happens if you comment off the base.OnClosing(e); line?

Commenting out the line pops the message when the X is clicked. If I say YES, the app closes. If I say NO, I return to the application; however, the X is dead. I can no longer close the application.

I want to apologize for not catching this the first time. I reviewed the issue with DevExpress and they reported that the Closing Event is only being raised once and this defect will be fixed in the next release. Article. thanks for your help!

You're welcome. Thanks for the update. I don't feel like I was of great help, though.

What I mean by...
Moveable elements: index cards, scrabble tiles, etc.
move: 'grab' and drag with LMB to another part of the window
I'm new to C# and WFC, etc. but have years of experience in PHP, C and other languages.
What I'm looking to know is:
- which element(s) (if element is the right word; checkbox? text entry field? what-have-you?) to use to create a scrabble tile or index card (whatever; the moveable object/thing)
- how movement is handled
Either a general sort-of pseudo code explanation or actual code is fine.
I don't know the terminology used in WFC (if WFC is even the right acronym) so maybe this question doesn't even make sense.

For game "pieces" I'd use either a Panel for rectangular pieces, or a UserControl for custom shaped pieces.
Search CodeProject for articles on drag and drop, and/or creating custom shaped Controls.

The elements you refer to are from WinForms, and that's not a great engine to build games with. Ever heard of Rimworld? Might not have, as it is still in beta, but it is available on Steam.

Eddy: What do you use instead of WinForms? And which specific element (or whatever it's called) would you use for (for instance) an index card that can be dragged around and dropped somewhere else within a window?

Unity
It has a learning curve, but not a terrible one.

It's hard to say it, I hate to say it, but probably WinForms. It has got built-in support for drag and drop, and there's an article on CodeProject showing how to use any bitmap in that drag-and-drop operation.
If you are into creating games, I'd strongly suggest to look at Unity. If you're looking for beta-testers, I'm here

You're probably thinking of WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation); and not WFC.
I would consider the WPF "Canvas" control as a starting point for an "absolute positioning" project:

How to insert this XML file in SQL Server? I have done one but cannot output. The error said "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime"
Here the code that I done:
SqlDataAdapter adpter = new SqlDataAdapter();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
int appointment_ID = 0;
string nric = null;
string client_Name = null;
DateTime? appointment_Date = null;
DateTime? start_Time = null;
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=USER1-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=true;Database=ProductDB");
XmlReader xmlFile = XmlReader.Create("G://appointment.xml", new XmlReaderSettings());
ds.ReadXml(xmlFile);
int i = 0;
conn.Open();
for (i = 0; i <= ds.Tables[0].Rows.Count - 1; i++)
{
appointment_ID = Convert.ToInt32(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[0]);
appointment_Date = DateTime.Parse(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[1].ToString());
start_Time = DateTime.Parse(ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[2].ToString());
nric = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[3].ToString();
client_Name = ds.Tables[0].Rows[i].ItemArray[4].ToString();
SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand("insert into Appointment values(" + appointment_ID + ",'" + appointment_Date + "'," + start_Time + "'," + nric + "'," + client_Name + ")", conn);
adpter.InsertCommand = command;
adpter.InsertCommand.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
conn.Close();
MessageBox.Show("Done .. ");
Here is appointment.xml:
<interface>
<appointment>
<appointment_id> 000000087508
<appointment_date>2018-01-25
<appointment_start_time>13:15:00

Don't do it like that! Never concatenate strings to build a SQL command. It leaves you wide open to accidental or deliberate SQL Injection attack which can destroy your entire database. Use Parametrized queries instead.
When you concatenate strings, you cause problems because SQL receives commands like:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'Baker's Wood' The quote the user added terminates the string as far as SQL is concerned and you get problems. But it could be worse. If I come along and type this instead: "x';DROP TABLE MyTable;--" Then SQL receives a very different command:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'x';DROP TABLE MyTable; Which SQL sees as three separate commands:
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE StreetAddress = 'x'; A perfectly valid SELECT
DROP TABLE MyTable; A perfectly valid "delete the table" command
And everything else is a comment.
So it does: selects any matching rows, deletes the table from the DB, and ignores anything else.
So ALWAYS use parameterized queries! Or be prepared to restore your DB from backup frequently. You do take backups regularly, don't you?
Chances are, when you fix that throughout your application, the problem you have noticed will vanish at the same time.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Just noting that SQL server can process XML directly.
Jieha Lee wrote: The error said "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime"
Print out your SQL - don't guess, actually print it.
Then you can take that SQL and try it directly on the database.
As a guess as to the error, SQL expects a very specific form for a timestamp (not a 'date') and you have not created that form.
