Question

Getting error when its casting in Listview:

    private void listView1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        int a = 1;
        string theimage = textBox1.Text + @"\allimages\";
        foreach (ListViewItem item in listView1.SelectedItems)
        {   
            // 39 zero's + "1"
            string initValue = new String('0', 3) + "0";
            // convert to int and add 1
            int newValue = Int32.Parse(initValue) + a;
            // convert back to string with leading zero's
            string newValueString = newValue.ToString().PadLeft(4, '0');

            string imageslist =  "product" + newValueString + "img";
            string[] images = Directory.GetFiles(theimage, imageslist + "*.jpg");

            // Cast the Picturebox
            PictureBox myPicBox = new PictureBox();
            myPicBox.Location = new Point(7, 240);
            myPicBox.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(140, 140);
            myPicBox.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize;
            myPicBox.Margin = new Padding(3,3,3,3);
            myPicBox.Visible = true;
            myPicBox.Image = new Bitmap(images[1]);
            Controls.Add(myPicBox);
            System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
            //List<PictureBox> pictureBoxList = new List<PictureBox>();
        }

    }

Its my error:

Error 1 ‘test.Form1.PictureBoxSizeMode()’ is a ‘method’, which is not valid in the given context C:\Users\radiaku\Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\test\test\Form1.cs 428 37 test

the code above working fine when I using button_click handler..

Answer 1

It sounds like your form has a method called PictureBoxSizeMode. You could either change the method name, or change the property setter to:

myPicBox.SizeMode = System.Windows.Forms.PictureBoxSizeMode.AutoSize;

Changing the method name would be cleaner though.
