Timer and Random

[VenuGopal]

hi,
i have a WELCOME screen. here i have a PICTURE BOX. there are 8 pictures
that go into this Picture Box.

At every 5 seconds i want to RANDOMLY load a new Picture.
this is what i am using but it is not loading the new picture.
Can any one help?
public void Presentation_Lo ad(object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Timer timer1= new Timer();
timer1.Interval = 5000;
timer1.Enabled = true;
timer1.Tick += new System.EventHan dler (OnTimerEvent);
}

public static void OnTimerEvent(ob ject source, EventArgs e)
{
// 8 pictures
Random objRandom= new Random();
int num= objRandom.Next( 1,8);

Presentation obj= new Presentation(); /// presentation is the name of
the class
if(num.ToString ()=="1")
{
obj.DisplayCRMI nfo(); ///// this function is as below
obj.Refresh();
return;
}
////// 7 more ifs follow
}

public void DisplayCRMInfo( )
{
string picture = Application.Sta rtupPath +@"\Presentatio n\CRM.jpg";
pictureBox1.Ima ge = Image.FromFile( picture);
}

Hi VenuGupal,

It's not terribly clear to me what you are actually doing. Are you running all code inside a WinForm class called Presentation? If so, why are you creating a new Presentation on every tick?

Also, in your tick event, you might benefit from using a switch/case instead of if/else if to find out which random number you got, or even better, store all pictures addresses in an string array and load the picture without checking which number it is.

int num = objRandom.Next( 1,8);
pictureBox1.Pic ture = Image.FromFile( pictureAddresse s[num] );

Hi Venu,

OnTimerEvent(ob ject source, EventArgs e), method is not a static method, its
a reference method.

public void OnTimerEvent(ob ject source, EventArgs e)
{
// 8 pictures
Random objRandom= new Random();
int num= objRandom.Next( 1,8);

Presentation obj= new Presentation(); /// presentation is the name of
//the class
if(num.ToString ()=="1")
{
obj.DisplayCRMI nfo(); ///// this function is as below
obj.Refresh();
return;
}
////// 7 more ifs follow
}

try it now ... GoodLuck... Veera Sekhar...
