label not updating

I wrote some code that creates a set of panels for each List<MyStruct> in a list. In these panels I added an edit button. when I click that edit button - it pulls up the record for that set of panels and labels and I allow the user to edit that record. when I update the database I reload the list. and then Iterate through the code to update the 2 labels That could be changed. The only problem is that if it it the last set of panels and labels it will update - if it is not it wont - but the list that was reloaded sees the change. my question is how can I fix this

            if (reset == false) //if it is not an update load the panels - if it is an update go to else
            {
                foreach (var trip in BitTrips)
                {

                    pnlMain = new RadPanel();//pnlMain
                    pnlMain.Name = "pnlMain_" + counter.ToString();
                    pnlMain.Height = 100;
                    pnlMain.Width = 607;

                    int newY = 44;

lblBitTripNum, lblStartingDepth and lblBitToTool all are being set to the same location (new point (68, 17). Are they supposed to be the same location?

r3nder

4/30/2015

ASKER

yes because they are in a panel
for example
//The Label added to a point in a panel
lblBitTripNum.Location = new Point(68,17)
//add it to the panel
pnlBitTripNumber.Controls.Add(lblBitTripNum);

you will notice that newY adds 110 to the last pnlMain location so it can create another set of panels at a new location

gotcha.
How did you determine that it will work only when the "last" panel is updated?
If you move the code around so a different panel is last, does it still update the last panel or does it update the original last panel?

UnifiedIS

Ok, I have an idea. In the "else" section, you are ferencing the objects: lblBittoTool and lblStartingDepth. These would represent the labels added last. I don't see how it would go in to each panel and change the values accordingly.

I was thinking since I named them with a counter that it would know which label
counter = 0;
foreach (var trip1 in BitTrips)
{
pnlBitToTool.Name = "pnlBitToTool" + counter.ToString();
lblBitToTool.Text = trip1.BitToToolOffset.ToString();
lblStartingDepth.Name = "lblStartingDepth" + counter.ToString();
lblStartingDepth.Text = trip1.StartingDepth.ToString();
//this.Invalidate();
counter++;
}

Instead of only updating the changed labels, why not just rebuild the whole thing from the database? Is it too slow?
If you can't do that, you'll need to reference the labels differently.

I was thinking about that but I couldn't figure out how to remove all of the controls in this UserControl

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
