Problem 1.
When printing to a status bar, I get 0 and in theory it should not do this.

//here is my code
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// i test the status bar to see if it works
statusBar1.Text = "Write Test";
// the for loop which generates number i
for( int i = 1; i<=1000; i++)
{
// this will update the status bar with the percentage of the
// completeness of the loop
statusBar1.Text = ((i/1000)*100).ToString();

}
}

Problem 2.
I am having trouble printing an array(to a printer)
...specifically the issue where printing an array to multiple pages.
Ive put in a simple array from my program since my list class is way too long.
Can anyone tell my what hasmorepages does, when does it change and what changes and how to implement it

// here is my code

private void mainmenu_file_print_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// if the dialog box returns event OK.....
if (printDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
//....then print......
// indirectly calling the OnPrintPage method
printDocument1.Print();
}
}
private void OnPrintPage(object sender, System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{
// gets margins
int xMargin = e.MarginBounds.Left;
int yMargin = e.MarginBounds.Top;
// initializes line printed
int linesPrinted = 0;

// creates the arial font
Font printFont = new Font("Arial",12);

// calculates lines per page but implementation is unknown
//linesPerPage = (e.MarginBounds.Height / printFont.GetHeight(e.Graphics));

int times = 200;
// creating and filling array - start
int [] intArray = new int[times];
for( int x = 0; x<times; x++)
{
intArray[x] = x;
}
// creating and filling array - end

// a while loop that will print each cell of the array
while (linesPrinted < intArray.Length)
{
// this line prints a cell of the array
e.Graphics.DrawString (intArray[linesPrinted].ToString(),printFont, Brushes.Black, xMargin,yMargin );
// this line prints a line return - specifically a windows line return
e.Graphics.DrawString ("\r\n",printFont, Brushes.Black, xMargin,yMargin );
// incrementation of the line counter
linesPrinted++;

}

// supposedly tells the printer that there are more pages
// but i dont know how to implement it
//e.HasMorePages = true;

}

Any help is appreciated.....

Problem 1

This line

statusBar1.Text = ((i/1000)*100).ToString();

(i/1000)*100 will result in numbers less than 1 e.g when i = 1 the result is 0.1, 0.1 is rounded by .ToString() to 0. Why instead of creating a percentage using the loop from 0 to 1000, instead 1 to 100, then us i directly as the percentage, I doubt you need to be so precise.

[TheHeadFL]

The problem in the first thing as stated above is with the line

statusBar1.Text = ((i/1000)*100).ToString();

The problem here is that (i/1000) is cast as an integer.

You need to either explicitly cast float(i/1000) or implicitly cast (i/1000.) [Note the decimal]

The integer division of any number under 1000 into 1000 is always 0.

The type casting worked..thanks

Math.Ceiling(((i/(double)times)*100));

and then using .toString(); will generate a non decimal number
that will display as a string in the status bar.......

anyone up for the printing challenge....?????
.................also does anyone know the framework restriction code for AssemblyInfo...i remember seeing a sample on msdn but i cant find it......
