Why has my code become recursive within form1?

I've been working on a bit of software in c# and it was going nicely but as of yesterday evening I noticed that it was throwing a memory exception error at the point when it loads an image.
I tried to decrease the image size but then realised that 'declaring rats' was being printed repeatedly to the console, where it should only occur once.
Digging a little deeper with some break points I found that it enters the drawing constructor at allRats = new Drawing(HousePicBox, DekuPicBox, BakuPicBox); //THIS HAS BECOME RECURSIVE, WTF
yet it doesn't seem to run the code within the constructor, but jumps back to the start of form1().
I have included all of the code within the files which the Program Counter touches.

Honestly I'm baffled as to why it keeps jumping back to the start of form1.
What have I broken?

As Drawing is derived from Form1 & you create an instance of Drawing in the Form1 constructor - this is going to cause the Form1 constructor to be invoked again which causes the creation of another instance of Drawing which causes ........... -
Note the base class constructor is called before the code in the derived class constructor - which is why you don't get to the code in the Drawing constructor.

Received SMS does not show in C# application

I have a C# application that receives SMSes and displays them.
When I send an SMS without this program and using a GSM modem, the SMS gets saved in the GSM modem. When I start the application and click on "read SMS" it shows me only SMSes that were previously received, and which I have already seen in the GSM modem. A new SMS that I sent recently, is not visible.
The program just shows SMSes that are read from the modem. What should I do to show a received SMS immediately in the program?

If you are using GSMCOMM class, I think you're missing the
comm.MessageReceived += new MessageReceivedEventHandler(comm_MessageReceived);
though you have to set the modem to notify you of an incoming message. Look at the samples included in the GSMComm Demo.

I am going to add a save button which saves to a specific location when clicked, how would I go about doing this.

If I am understanding it correctly, use a simple I/O operation.
using(StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter("debug.txt", true))
{
foreach (string item in lstFilesFound.Items)
{
writer.WriteLine(item.ToString());
}
}
Few extra pointers:
In DirSearch, create a variable for Directory.GetDirectories(sDir). Your present code is causing this thing to calculate in every loop. Look for some more similar refactoring code in other areas.
var dirs = Directory.GetDirectories(sDir);
foreach (string d in dirs)
{
var files = Directory.GetFiles(d, txtFile.Text);
foreach (string f in files)
{
lstFilesFound.Items.Add(f);
}
DirSearch(d);
}
Hope it helps.

I'm assuming it's the list of found files you're wanting to save to a text file, how about this on your save event (rough code so not extensively tested)?
using (FileStream fs = new FileStream("c:\\files.txt", FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write))
{
using (StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fs))
{
foreach (string item in lstFilesFound.Items)
{
sw.WriteLine(item);
}
}

Controlling a Camera with WIA

First of all, this is my first post in stackoverflow. I use this side very often and I found nearly everything I needed.
And now to my Question. I searched for this Question but I didn't really found anything. I wanted to write an application where I can click on a button and make a picture of a person and link that photo with the user in the database. Is it possible to control a camera with WIA? Do I need a special camera for that?
I would appreciate, if somebody could post a good Tutorial for the general use of WIA.

It looks like Microsoft has provided a tutorial here.
I think you'd be specifically interested in the section Capturing a Still Image from Streaming Video.

I've been there and I've done that. You need a camera that has WIA drivers. Several ones do it. It's not easy but can be done for sure.

As for a WIA C# wrapper, I came across ScanWIA on Codeplex. It doesn't have a whole lot of documentation. However, reading the source code might help. Also, the project has a demo project that you may tailor to get pictures from a camera.

Run process in BackgroundWorker

I know little about C#.
I am trying to display a progressbar with the status of the background command line program.
After google examples of progressbar and run process in c#, so I'm trying to start a BackgroundWorker in the Windows Form, and run the command line program in the BackgroundWorker. I want to parse the command line's output to get the progress
percentage and display it to the progress bar.
The command line program is a console program, it will output periodically its current status of progress.
But it seems it did not work. I can't readline any lines of the process's standard output.
Is there anything I missed?
Here is the raw code:

Or is there any better way to get a command line program's progress?

You have to set the WorkerReportsProgress property of your backgroundWorker to true in order to be able to report while your backgroundWorker is running:
backgroundWorker1.WorkerReportsProgress = true;

After manually flush the output of the command line program, problem solved.
fflush(stdout);
It's not clear why it's buffered even a line ended.

Building on what Kamyar was stating, you would need to then code a delegate to capture the progress of your backgroundWorker object using a UserState object. This could be any object really, but you use it to update other aspects of the GUI, in this case a status label...
this.backgroundWorker1.WorkerReportsProgress = true;
this.backgroundWorker1.WorkerSupportsCancellation = true;
this.backgroundWorker1.DoWork += new System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventHandler(this.backgroundWorker1_DoWork);
this.backgroundWorker1.ProgressChanged += new System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventHandler(this.backgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged);
this.backgroundWorker1.RunWorkerCompleted += new System.ComponentModel.RunWorkerCompletedEventHandler(this.backgroundWorker1_RunWorkerCompleted);
private class Progress
{
public string Status { get; set; }
public Progress(string status)
{
Status = status;
}
}
//...
private void backgroundWorker1_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
while(myWork)
{
if(backgroundWorker1.CancellationPending)
{
e.Cancel = true;
break;
}
int p = //...percentage calc
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(p, new Progress("My message...")));
}
e.Cancel = false;
}
void backgroundWorker1_ProgressChanged(object sender, System.ComponentModel.ProgressChangedEventArgs e)
{
Progress p = (Progress)e.UserState;
lStatus.Text = p.Status;
progressBar.Value = e.ProgressPercentage;
}
This is just one method of implementing it though.
Thanks.
