Trouble with C# Windows Forms Control -- LinkLabel


Question

Hi,

I am having trouble using LinkLabel on Windows Form.

The scenario is like this:

I have a client listening and receiving links from a server.

The client updates its link on the UI with the links received.

How I did this is that I have an empty LinkLabel configured as the placeholder.

When I received links from the server, I do:

if (myLinkLabel.Links.Count !=0 ) //assuming that there will only be one link on this linklabel

{

myLinkLabel.RemoveAt(0);

}

myLinkLabel.Links.Add (0, strstr.Length, strstr); //strstr is the URL received form the server

However, I would get this exception:

System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: region

at System.Drawing.Graphics.IntersectClip(Region region)

at System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.PaintLink(Graphics g, Link link, Brush foreBrush, Brush linkBrush, Boolean optimizeBackgroundRendering)

at System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel.OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)

at System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods.DispatchMessageW(MSG& msg)

at System.Windows.Forms.ComponentManager.System.Windows.Forms.UnsafeNativeMethods+IMsoComponentManager.FPushMessageLoop(Int32 dwComponentID, Int32 reason, Int32 pvLoopData)

at System.Windows.Forms.ThreadContext.RunMessageLoop(Int32 reason, ApplicationContext context)

at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run(Form mainForm)

My guess is that when it's trying to paint the Windows, there was no link found.

Can anyone tell me how I should go about solving this or is there a better way that I should do this?

thanks a bunch!!!!

:)

    • I happen to try it today not knowing about the update and was happily surprised; it is great.
    • Hello, Hardware Support Applications are a special kind of Microsoft Store app and have to go through additional checks and certifications because they can communicate directly with their driver, which means that a vulnerability in one of them could allow an attacker access to kernel space memory through the HSA ←→ device driver interface.  In other words, a BYOVD (bring your won vulnerable driver) attack, but with the HSA being used as an extra step. Remember, the Microsoft Store is strategic to Microsoft's long-term goals: they see it as the means to get the same 30% of every application sale that Apple and Google get through their stores, which is why it has been a fixture of Windows since Windows 8 was introduced in 2012 despite a low adoption rate.  Microsoft cannot afford to have anyone get an app through their store which causes a security issue for their end users.  Even if the app was written by and uploaded to the Microsoft Store by a partner, it is Microsoft's name on the store, and they are the ones that will have reputational/brand damage if they allow something malicious into their store.

    • This is more from my childhood, when nickelodeon just launched and had to license shows to have something to air. Left a big an impact, but probably more emotion positive / childhood thing. Europe got the follow up season's decade's latter with the animation studio that did Air Bender but never licenses for the US. I miss the day's of longer intro's. Nier (PS3) Intro is epic, and was very unexpected.  PS1 Xengears was also epic and an amazing game.  
    • Sayan Sen, do you think one day an image of the Windows Vista desktop or the wallpaper could be used in the primary image of an article? (When I think of CDs and DVDs I think of that release of Windows and of earlier releases; it is the one that debuted IMAPI 2.0 and other features.)
