Forms Dispose method triggering SelectedIndexCh anged event on close


I'm a C# Newbie, so if I've missed the obvious here go easy!!!

I have a form opened from a MDI parent. The form has a data bound
combo box, with a SelectedIndexCh anged event (fills a list view box on
the same form depending on selection). It all works fine except when
you close either the form itself or it's MDI parent. Somehow as the
form is closing this event is triggered, and crashes out with an un-
handled error (even though it's in a try catch block!!) when it gets
to the part where it has to read the combo box value, which now has
been disposed along with the control.

The error goes away completely when I comment out the auto-generated
components.Disp ose(); part of the form's class. In my limited
knowledge, I guess this to be either one of two strange occurances:
1. The Dispose method is itself triggering the SelectedIndexCh anged
event, or
2. The close event somehow triggers the SelectedIndexCh anged event but
the dispose kills the control as it it running.

I'm not sure what is going on here - but would appreciate any input.
The event definition appears to be normal:

this.comboBox2. SelectedIndexCh anged += new
System.EventHan dler(this.combo Box2_SelectedIn dexChanged);

And there are no other references to the function elsewhere in the
forms class. I'm a little stumped at what's going on here! Any help
appreciated!

Hi, Both the methods below open up a windows form called MasterForm. However, one works better than the other. Method 1 opens the form correctly but I don't have any reference to the instance of master form. Method 2 opens the form but when I right click on the Notify Icon I don't get the context menu that I should be seeing. I can interact with the main form window but I cannot interact with the NotifyIcon. Method 2 gives a object reference...

I have a ComboBox set up in a non-modal form. When a selection is made from the ComboBox, the handler code closes the form, but then the system crashes because of an unhandled NullReferenceException. There is a reference to Unsafe Native Methods and Callback functions, but Interop Services are not used. What is going on ? The problem does not occur if the form is made modal. Any thoughts would be appreciated. The code appears below for a simple...

Hi Everybody, I have been looking at problems with my Windows Forms C# application and it's little Jet 4 (Access) database for the last few days. The Windows Forms app implements a facade and implementation, data abstraction layer. But because each data adapter in the implementation layer has a connection object that opens and closes as needed, I found I got several errors from the Jet engine when there were simultaneous connections to...

I have an MDI parent form frmMain that *should* allow multiple instances of a child form frmChild. The frmChild operates completely independently of frmMain (aside from being an MDI child), and the frmChild close event occurs via a button on frmChild (from within the code of frmChild). I need to be able to dynamically create multiple separate instances of frmChild from frmMain. The problem: If two (or more) frmChild's are opened,...

Sorry to have to ask this but... I have a form that asks for SQL connection information. I want to close the form when I click Save and then open the login form. I can Hide the form but it keeps the form open. If i try and use form.close() then it ends the program even though I've used newForm.Show() and newForm.Activate() before the form.Close(). Thank you for your time.

Hello, Please pardon my ignorance as this is something I should know, but I'm a little unclear. I have an MDI based app. It is setup so the user opens a file and the main child form is created. Once that is opened one (or more) properties forms can be opened. What is the best method for sharing data between the properties forms and the main child form? I need to alert the main child form when a value is modified in a properties form so I...

If I show a form with ShowDialog and Dispose it FormClosing does not appear to run. At least I think that is true. If I want FormClosing and FormClose to run am I suppose to call the forms Close method?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
