C# – How to know when a form is shown

ccompact-frameworkeventswinforms

I'm developing a Windows Mobile 5.0 or above with .Net Compact Framework 2.0 SP2 and C#.

I have a WinForm that only has a Custom Control. I want to call a method of that custom control when the form has finished loading and display the control.

Now I using Activated Event, but these event is thrown everytime when I close a messagebox.

Is there an event thrown in that moment?

Thank you.

Simply use the activate event and have a boolean in your form that is set to true when you have called the method on your custom control. When the form's activated event is triggered again, you just make a check on this boolean.

C# – How to cast int to enum

From an int:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)yourInt;

From a string:

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum) Enum.Parse(typeof(YourEnum), yourString);

// The foo.ToString().Contains(",") check is necessary for enumerations marked with an [Flags] attribute
if (!Enum.IsDefined(typeof(YourEnum), foo) && !foo.ToString().Contains(","))
{
    throw new InvalidOperationException($"{yourString} is not an underlying value of the YourEnum enumeration.")
}

Update:

From number you can also

YourEnum foo = (YourEnum)Enum.ToObject(typeof(YourEnum) , yourInt);

foreach (Suit suit in (Suit[]) Enum.GetValues(typeof(Suit)))
{

Note: The cast to (Suit[]) is not strictly necessary, but it does make the code 0.5 ns faster.
