My code won't run unless I close my form, however I need my form to be open as I want to displa

Time:12-09

I have two seperate files, Form1.cs and Program.cs. I want Program.cs to start running once I choose a filepath in my form by pressing button1 and selecting the file destination, however it only starts running once I CLOSE the form. I can't run my program.cs while the form is still open, however I want to display information on the form which I gain from program.cs.. This is how my form code looks:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace test
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public string Pathh;
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

        }

        public void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog
            {
                InitialDirectory = @"D:\",
                Title = "Browse Text Files",

                CheckFileExists = true,
                CheckPathExists = true,

                DefaultExt = "csv",
                Filter = "csv files (*.csv)|*.csv",
                FilterIndex = 2,
                RestoreDirectory = true,

                ReadOnlyChecked = true,
                ShowReadOnly = true
            };

            if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
            {
                textBox1.Text = openFileDialog1.FileName;

            }
        }
    }
}




And this is my main in Program.cs:

    class Program

        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>

        static void Main()
        {
            Form1 form = new Form1();
            form.ShowDialog();
            if (form.checkBox1.Checked)
            {
                Console.Write("LOL");
                Dictionary<string, string> LocatieProduct = new Dictionary<string, string>();
                Dictionary<string, int> PickCountSchap = new Dictionary<string, int>();
                /*for (int i = 0; i <= 17; i  )
                {


                    StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
                    if (i < 10)
                        sb.Append("D0"   i);
                    else
                        sb.Append("D"   i);
                    string final = sb.ToString();
                    Console.WriteLine(final);
                    PickCountGang[final] = 1;

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

CodePudding user response:

In order to have the form alive and run your other code simultaneously you can use threads. add to your code using system.threading wrap the code you want to run behind your form in a new thread like so var t = new thread(()=>{ //CODE }) then start the new thread. t.start();

if you want to change something in the form while still in the other thread you will need to use the method invoker like so this.invoke((methodInvoker)(()=>{ this.background.color = colors.red; }))

PS: you may want to change your application to windows forms application and run every thing from a main winform. for more information check here
