Question

Font properties

Answer 1

+1 A:

Assuming all four lines are always there...

var fontSettings = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("fontsettings.txt");

int color = int.Parse(fontSettings[0], System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any);
string family = fontSettings[1];
float size = float.Parse(fontSettings[2], System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);
FontStyle style = (FontStyle)Enum.Parse(typeof(FontStyle), fontSettings[3]);

label1.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(color);
label1.Font = new Font(family, size, style);

That kind of thing happens. I for one had failed to consider , vs . differences in the float conversion, causing huge text!

hey kawa, i keep running into this error saying "Index was outside the bounds of the array." on the following line of code, can u please help me figure out whats going on?:int c = int.Parse(fontSettings[0], System.Globalization.NumberStyles.Any);

This is why I made it several lines. Add a breakpoint and watch the values closely for errors. I used your settings (-16777216 Arial 7.8 Bold) as you typed them, each on a different line. fontSettings should contain each of these as a seperate string.

Kawa 2009-10-03 10:21:11

should it matter if there is other information on other lines in the same text file?

baeltazor 2009-10-06 07:47:30

As long as the first four are the font settings, the fifth, sixth or whatever-th are irrelevant. This code, as I gave you, stops caring after the fourth line (which is fontSettings[3]).
