Hi MP,
If you want to retrieve the form information of your application, you can
use reflection to do this.
I wrote a sample to get all the forms in the assembly.
using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Data;
using System.Reflection ;
using System.Diagnostics ;
using System.Text ;
namespace reflectionform
{
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{
private System.ComponentModel.Container components = null;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void Dispose( bool disposing )
{
if( disposing )
{
if (components != null)
{
components.Dispose();
}
}
base.Dispose( disposing );
}
#region Windows Form Designer generated code
private void InitializeComponent()
{
//
// Form1
//
this.AutoScaleBaseSize = new System.Drawing.Size(5, 13);
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(292, 266);
this.Name = "Form1";
this.Text = "Form1";
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Form1_Load);
}
#endregion
[STAThread]
static void Main()
{
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
Process p=Process.GetCurrentProcess();
string assemblyname=p.ProcessName+".exe";
Assembly a=Assembly.LoadFrom (assemblyname);
Module[] modules=a.GetModules();
Type formtype=typeof(System.Windows.Forms.Form);
StringBuilder sb=new StringBuilder();
foreach(Module m in modules)
{
Type []types=m.GetTypes();
foreach(Type t in types)
{
if(t.IsSubclassOf (formtype))
{
sb.AppendFormat("{0}\n",t.Name );
}
}
}
MessageBox.Show(sb.ToString());
}
}
}
Hope this help.

| Is another form in the same project and some time from a reference
project.
|
|
|
| I don't wave any way for now, or any preferences.
|
|
|
| The problem I have is that at some point I want to know if this property
has
| a value, and if it's not empty or null, show the corresponding form.
|
|
|
| TIA
