Updating/Deleting a row in listview that includes a countdown timer

Currently i am having trouble updating a row in my listview that contains both text and a timer that counts down. So far I've tried updating the entire row as well as trying to update just the text and i get an error in each instance.
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'index
I am also having a slight problem with the delete button. It deletes the row as planned but it appears the information is still running in the background and haven't come across any info on how to delete the session. I pray for your guidance.
private void Confirm_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CSession newSession = new CSession();
if(PasswordText.Text == "")
{
MessageBox.Show("Password not entered");
return;
}
newSession.password = PasswordText.Text;
newSession.purchased_time = workingTimeSpan;
newSession.remaining_time = workingTimeSpan;
newSession.status = "Online";
sessionlist.Add(newSession);
PasswordText.Text = "";
TimerLabel.Text = "";
workingTimeSpan = new TimeSpan();
}
private void DisplayAllSessions()
{
listView1.Items.Clear();
foreach(CSession c in sessionlist)
{
string[] row = { c.password, c.purchased_time.ToString(), c.remaining_time.ToString(), c.status };
ListViewItem i = new ListViewItem(row);
listView1.Items.Add(i);
}
}
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach(CSession c in sessionlist)
{
if (c.remaining_time.TotalMinutes == 5 && !c.MessageDisplayed)
{
c.MessageDisplayed = true;
MessageBox.Show("Time almost up for client.");
}
if (c.remaining_time.TotalSeconds < 1)
{
c.status = "Offline";
}
if(c.status == "Online")
{
c.remaining_time -= oneSecond;
}
}
DisplayAllSessions();
}
private void exitToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Close();
}
private void Reset_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
private void updatebutton()
{
listView1.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[0].Text = PasswordText.Text;
PasswordText.Text = "";
}
private void Update_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
updatebutton();
}
private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PasswordText.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].Text;
TimerLabel.Text = listView1.SelectedItems[0].SubItems[1].Text;
}
private void Delete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (MessageBox.Show("Do you wish to delete.", "Removing User", MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning) == DialogResult.OK)
{
listView1.Items.Clear();
timer1.Stop();
}
}

This is what i used for the update function and delete row function.
private void updatebutton()
{
CSession updatedsession = new CSession();
int updateindex = 0;
int index = 0;
foreach (CSession lookup in sessionlist)
{
if(lookup.password == PasswordText.Text)
{
if (MessageBox.Show("Do you wish to add time.", "Adding Time",
MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning) == DialogResult.OK)
{
updatedsession = lookup;
updateindex = index;
}
break;
}
index++;
}
updatedsession.purchased_time = workingTimeSpan +
updatedsession.purchased_time;
updatedsession.remaining_time = workingTimeSpan +
updatedsession.remaining_time;
sessionlist[updateindex] = updatedsession;
//sortedSessionList[PasswordText.Text] = updatedsession;
PasswordText.Text = "";
TimerLabel.Text = "";
workingTimeSpan = new TimeSpan();
}
private void Update_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
updatebutton();
}
private void Delete_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CSession cSession = new CSession();
if (MessageBox.Show("Do you wish to delete.", "Removing User",
MessageBoxButtons.OKCancel, MessageBoxIcon.Warning) == DialogResult.OK)
{
int index = 0;
foreach (CSession c in sessionlist)
{
if(c.password == PasswordText.Text)
{
break;
}
index++;
}
sessionlist.RemoveAt(index);
}
}

Visual Studio won't open my new form

I'm having a tiny issue here.. It's a little annoying.. I can't debug my application because of this..
My problem is.. When I try to open a new form automatically by code. It will not open other form. But when you click the button yourself on the form. It will open.. And I think this is a little weird.. Because it uses the same code...
Here is my button code that opens the new form(And it works great.):
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
label4.Text = "Login in... Please wait.";
Properties.Settings.Default.username = usernameText.Text;
if (checkBox1.Checked == true)
{
Properties.Settings.Default.check1 = true;
Properties.Settings.Default.password = passwordText.Text;
if (checkBox2.Checked == true)
{
Properties.Settings.Default.check2 = true;
}
}
Properties.Settings.Default.Save();
button1.Enabled = false;
checkBox1.Enabled = false;
checkBox2.Enabled = false;
startLoginWorker();
}
Here is the other code that opens it automatically:
private void loginForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
String appDataFolder = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData).ToString();
String gpsPath = appDataFolder + "/GameProfileSaver";
label4.Text = "Checking files...";
if (!File.Exists(gpsPath + #"\ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll") || !File.Exists(gpsPath + #"\ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll"))
{
//startDownload("dll");
button1.Enabled = true;
}
else
{
button1.Enabled = true;
label4.Text = "File check complete. Ready for login.";
progressBar1.Value = 100;
}
if (checkBox2.Checked == true)
{
button1.PerformClick();
}
The "button1.PerformClick()" Just clicks the button by code right? Shouldn't be any difference....
And I have even tried to just put that code into that if statement.. Still nothing.
This is the code that gets run out of it all:
System.Threading.Thread t = new System.Threading.Thread(new System.Threading.ThreadStart(oppenMainForm));
t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
t.Start();
Openmainform:
private void oppenMainForm()
{
Application.Run(new Form1(usernameText.Text));
}
If anyone have any suggestions... Please help me... It's frustrating.

Deleting items from listbox raises exception

I need to be able to delete items from a listbox but when I press the delete function and say yes I want to delete I get this exception: Items collection cannot be modified when the DataSource property is set.
Now I want to know what to do about this.

The error says it quite clearly: you have to remove the item from the underlying datasource, you can't delete it manually. If you want to remove/add items manually, you shouldn't use databinding but build the list by hand.

As exception say you can't delete items directly from ListBox - you have to remove it from underlying DataSource and then rebind control (if it is not bound to BindingSource for example)
private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (MessageBox.Show("You are about to delete application: "+ Environment.NewLine + _applicationListBox.SelectedItem +Environment.NewLine + " Are you sure you want to delete the application?", "", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo) == DialogResult.No)
{
MessageBox.Show("The application will not be deleted.", "", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
}
else if (this._applicationListBox.SelectedIndex >= 0)
{
var item = this.GetCurrentApplication();
_toepassingIniFile.ToePassingen.Remove(item);
_applicationListBox.DataSource = null;
_applicationListBox.DataSource = _toepassingIniFile.ToePassingen;
}
}
Your code is hard to read so I was a bit guessing with classes etc, but it should work.

Try to remove from datasource itself as below:
string myobj = this._applicationListBox.SelectedValue.ToString();
data.Remove(myobj );
_applicationListBox.DataSource = null;
_applicationListBox.DataSource = data;

As others have said. You must have a list that is bound to the listbox. You cannot delete from the listbox directly.
You should delete from the List
private Toepassinglist _toepassingList
That is the datasource for your listbox.
Delete the item you want like so...
this._toepassingList.Items.RemoveAt(this._applicationListBox.SelectedIndex);

You can delete from list:---
ListName.Items.RemoveAt(postion);

Groupbox for Windows form

I have created gui for windows form....!
one side i have groupbox with checkbox and two buttons ">>" and "<<" and on the other side i have one more groupbox.
I need to select one checkbox at a time if the user select more than one checkbox i need to raise error..
if the user selects checkbox and click on ">>" button i need to display number of messages in the other groupbox i.e in the "List of Selected Commands"...
and on the click of ">>" the selected list of message should be deleted from list.
I have included tab control in my gui on click of this tab i need to display some list of commands how can i do it...
can any one help me on this...
This is the code..
namespace Menu_Sample
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
groupBox1.Text = "MSC";
groupBox2.Text = "List Of Selected Commands";
checkBox1.Visible = false;
cb2.Visible = false;
cb3.Visible = false;
cb4.Visible = false;
label1.Visible = false;

label4.Visible = false;
}

label2.Visible = true;
label2.Text = "Cbit";
groupBox2.Controls.Add(label2);

}

{

}
}
private void btn6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

{

}
}

}

}
private void mDPToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
groupBox1.Text = "MDP";
}
private void mRPPToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
groupBox1.Text = "MRPP";
}
}
}

I am giving you an idea, that how we can do that.
You have to create a group box click event and then use loop for the controls in that groupbox and if that control is checkbox and it is checked, then you just count that no-other checkbox should be checked.
I will be available with the code very shortly.

C# BackGroundWorker with ProgressBar Updates after process complete

I have the following in a button click event:
private void buttonSubmitAchChecks_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (backgroundWorker1.IsBusy) return;
SubmittingAch(true);
backgroundWorker1.WorkerReportsProgress = true;
backgroundWorker1.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
label_Status.Text = "Submitting checks to ACH ....";
var qry = from ds in checkTrans.IndividualCheck
where ds.SubmitToACH &&
ds.Status == "Entered" &&
ds.CheckAmount > 0 &&
ds.SubmitToACH
select ds;
if (qry.Count() <= 0)
{
label_Status.Text = "Nothing to submit. Check the Check Amount, ACH, and Status fields.";
}
else
{
progressBar1.Maximum = qry.Count();
progressBar1.Minimum = 0;
progressBar1.Step = 1;
backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerAsync(qry);
}
}
My backgroundWorker1_DoWork:
private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
if (backgroundWorker1.CancellationPending)
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
else
{
var qry = e.Argument as EnumerableRowCollection<CheckTrans.IndividualCheckRow>;
if (qry != null)
{
Thread.Sleep(4000);
//item.Status = ach.SubmitCheck(item);
var ach = new SubmitAchChecks();
foreach (var item in qry)
{
ach.SubmitCheck(item);
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(1);
Console.Write("backgroundWorker1_dowork=" + progressBar1.Value.ToString() + "\r\n");
}
}
}
}
My Cancel Button:
private void cancelAsyncButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (backgroundWorker1.WorkerSupportsCancellation == true)
{
label_Status.Text = "Cancelling...";
backgroundWorker1.CancelAsync();
}
}
My backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted:
private void backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted(object sender, RunWorkerCompletedEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Cancelled == true)
{
label_Status.Text = "Canceled!";
}
else if (e.Error != null)
{
label_Status.Text = "Error: " + e.Error.Message;
}
else
{
label_Status.Text = "Done!";
}
SubmittingAch(false);
}
My backgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged:
private void backgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged(object sender, ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
progressBar1.Value += 1;
Console.Write("progressbar1.value=" + progressBar1.Value.ToString() + "\r\n");
}
I get following output in my debug window when I processed 2 items:
backgroundWorker1_dowork=0
backgroundWorker1_dowork=0
progressbar1.value=1
progressbar1.value=2
The event is firing, but as you can see from the console.write, it's happening AFTER the thread finishes. I get the progressbar scrolling, but only once the dowork has completed.
What have I done wrong on this? I'd like it to update as each item is completed.

It's due to the way threads work. ProgressChange is invoked on the UI thread using BeginInvoke, and therefore on another thread. Meanwhile, the worker thread continues running. Since there is not much work to do, the BackgroundWorker finishes its work before BeginInvoke actually invokes the method, because thread switches don't happen every CPU operation. They happen after quite a few. To avoid this, manually call the method that increments the ProgressBar's value using this.Invoke().
