How to find items in a ListBox?

I am creating an application where I have a ListBox which has items that are read in from a text file using StreamReader. I have created a search form but I'm not sure what to do next. Can anyone give me some suggestions please? Here is my code:
My code for the ListBox (sorry it's so long)
public partial class frmSwitches : Form
{
public static ArrayList switches = new ArrayList();
public static frmSwitches frmkeepSwitches = null;
public static string inputDataFile = "LeckySafe.txt";
const int numSwitchItems = 6;
public frmSwitches()
{
InitializeComponent();
frmkeepSwitches = this;
}
private void btnDevices_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frmDevices tempDevices = new frmDevices();
tempDevices.Show();
frmkeepSwitches.Hide();
}
private bool fileOpenForReadOK(string readFile, ref StreamReader dataIn)
{
try
{
dataIn = new StreamReader(readFile);
return true;
}
catch (FileNotFoundException notFound)
{
MessageBox.Show("ERROR Opening file (when reading data in) - File could not be found.\n"
+ notFound.Message);
return false;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show("ERROR Opening File (when reading data in) - Operation failed.\n"
+ e.Message);
return false;
}
}
private bool getNextSwitch(StreamReader inNext, string[] nextSwitchData)
{
string nextLine;
int numDataItems = nextSwitchData.Count();
for (int i = 0; i < numDataItems; i++)
{
try
{
nextLine = inNext.ReadLine();
if (nextLine != null)
nextSwitchData[i] = nextLine;
else
{
return false;
}
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show("ERROR Reading from file.\n" + e.Message);
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
private void readSwitches()
{
StreamReader inSwitches = null;
Switch tempSwitch;
bool anyMoreSwitches = false;
string[] switchData = new string[numSwitchItems];
if (fileOpenForReadOK(inputDataFile, ref inSwitches))
{
anyMoreSwitches = getNextSwitch(inSwitches, switchData);
while (anyMoreSwitches == true)
{
tempSwitch = new Switch(switchData[0], switchData[1], switchData[2], switchData[3], switchData[4], switchData[5]);
switches.Add(tempSwitch);
anyMoreSwitches = getNextSwitch(inSwitches, switchData);
}
}
if (inSwitches != null) inSwitches.Close();
}
public static bool fileOpenForWriteOK(string writeFile, ref StreamWriter dataOut)
{
try
{
dataOut = new StreamWriter(writeFile);
return true;
}
catch (FileNotFoundException notFound)
{
MessageBox.Show("ERROR Opening file (when writing data out)" +
"- File could not be found.\n" + notFound.Message);
return false;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
MessageBox.Show("ERROR Opening File (when writing data out)" +
"- Operation failed.\n" + e.Message);
return false;
}
}
public static void writeSwitches()
{
StreamWriter outputSwitches = null;
if (fileOpenForWriteOK(inputDataFile, ref outputSwitches))
{
foreach (Switch currSwitch in switches)
{
outputSwitches.WriteLine(currSwitch.getSerialNo());
outputSwitches.WriteLine(currSwitch.getType());
outputSwitches.WriteLine(currSwitch.getInsDate());
outputSwitches.WriteLine(currSwitch.getElecTest());
outputSwitches.WriteLine(currSwitch.getPatId());
outputSwitches.WriteLine(currSwitch.getNumDevice());
}
outputSwitches.Close();
}
if (outputSwitches != null) outputSwitches.Close();
}
private void showListOfSwitches()
{
lstSwitch.Items.Clear();
foreach (Switch b in switches)
lstSwitch.Items.Add(b.getSerialNo()
+ b.getType() + b.getInsDate()
+ b.getElecTest() + b.getPatId() + b.getNumDevice());
}
My code for the search form:
private void btnSearch_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
frmSearchSwitch tempSearchSwitch = new frmSearchSwitch();
tempSearchSwitch.Show();
frmkeepSwitches.Hide();
}

If using a List<T> and lambda is not possible for you then go no farther.
Here I use a List<T> for the data source of a ListBox and mocked up data as where the data comes from is not important but here I am focusing on searching on a property within a class where a select is used to index the items then the where searches in this case) for a specific item, if found the index is used to move to the item. No code present for if not located as this is easy for you to do if the code here is something that is doable for you.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace ListBoxSearch_cs
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var results =
((List<Item>)ListBox1.DataSource)
.Select((data, index) => new
{ Text = data.SerialNumber, Index = index })
.Where((data) => data.Text == "BB1").FirstOrDefault();
if (results != null)
{
ListBox1.SelectedIndex = results.Index;
}
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
var items = new List<Item>() {
new Item {Identifier = 1, SerialNumber = "AA1", Type = "A1"},
new Item {Identifier = 2, SerialNumber = "BB1", Type = "A1"},
new Item {Identifier = 3, SerialNumber = "CD12", Type = "XD1"}
};
ListBox1.DisplayMember = "DisplayText";
ListBox1.DataSource = items;
}
}
/// <summary>
/// Should be in it's own class file

public class Item
{

public string Type { get; set; }
public int Identifier { get; set; }
public string DisplayText
{

{
return SerialNumber + " " + this.Type;
}

C# Using SoundPlayer to Pause and Resume

I am another person dabbling with C# and wanting to create a simple audio application that plays wav files loaded into the program via an upload program. My issue is that I need to get whatever audio file currently being played to pause with the track timer of the audio file being used when I start the audio file again via my Play button. I already have a global timer, 'baseTimer', that I think I can use to set the audio file, that was stopped, track duration point. However I do not know how to accomplish this nor do I really know how to use all of the mci commands yet.
I have displayed all of my code for my main application... I also have read that I may need to utilize threading, but I've also read that it would be impossible to set an audio files track duration with a thread.

Edit:
For clarity currentaudio has a file as such "music3.wav" or "talk1.wav" in it.

Super old question but just for anyone looking here's what worked for me:
double currentPos = audioplayer.CurrentPosition;
audioplayer.Play();
audioplayer.Seek(currentPos);

SoundPlayer is extremely limited, and doesn't support Pause and Resume. Are you able to use the WPF MediaElement instead? You will find it is much more powerful, supporting playing files of many types, repositioning, setting volume, pausing and resuming. You can also use it to get the file length instead of mci.

WinFormApps vs. ConsoleApps : BackgroundWorker and EventWaitHandle

I have two programs : WinformApplication and ConsoleApplication with .NET 2.0 , C#, and VS2010.
Two programs has same taks with backgroundworker and EventWaitHandle.
Create BGW
DoWork
RunWorkerCompleted { .. event.Set(); .. }
Wait event.waitone()
Console apps works fine. However, Forms apps doesn't work. Here is full code. Can you try it and let me know what is the problem.
Here is WinFormApplication Code :

subclass: femaleCalculation.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace HUANG_Kai_30077528_Assign1
{
class femaleCalculator : calculator
{
public double femaleCaloriesCalculation()
{
txtCalories.Text = (655 + (4.3 * Convert.ToDouble(txtWeight.Text))
+ (4.7 * ((Convert.ToDouble(txtFeet.Text) * 12)
+ Convert.ToDouble(txtInches.Text)))
- (4.7 * Convert.ToDouble(txtAge.Text))).ToString();
return femaleCaloriesCalculation();
}
public double femaleWeightCalculation()
{
txtIdealWeight.Text = ((45.5 + (2.3 * (((Convert.ToDouble(txtFeet.Text) - 5) * 12)
+ Convert.ToDouble(txtInches.Text)))) * 2.2046).ToString();
return femaleWeightCalculation();
}
}
}
As we can see, these two sub-classes are use to do the calculation for the calories and ideal weight. They are plan to take place of private void calorieCalculation() and private void weightCalculation() in the original class calculator.cs.
The function I need is like this:
When I execute the program and need to calculate the idealWeight and calories, the parent class calculator.cs will get the result from the formula contain in the sub-class, and ToString in the text box. That's why there are txtCalories and txtIdealWeight inside the calculator.cs.
So the question is how to get the results in the sub-class, and fill in the text boxes?
Guys, please help me with it as this is really important to me!!
Thank you all!!

Do you mean a virtual function? If so,
class Ancestor
{
public virtual int DoSomething()
{
// execute commands here.
// for now just throw exception.
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
}
class Derived_A : Ancestor
{
public override int DoSomething()
{
return 1 + 1;
}
}
class Derived_B : Ancestor
{
public override int DoSomething()
{
return 1 + 2;
}
}
This is ancestry, with virtual functions. For more on this:

This type of code can also be done with interfaces. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/ms173156.aspx.

Emulating console in winforms, the hard way how to make it better

Im trying to emulate the console in a windows forms applicaton. I have made it possible by using two extra threads and a delegate to be able to interact with my multiline textbox.
This somehow seems like I complicate things to much. So my questions.
Is there a better way of doing this?
When i press enter the command does not get sent, first if i press again it get sent? WHy is that? I ahve treid to debug it but failed to find the solution.
EDIT! Im using CsharpSSH, to do the SSH connection. Also I have included my full code now!
