We're working on a project here in Visual Studio 2008. We're using the built-in testing suite provided with it (the Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting namespace).

Let's say you have a form with a component that displays data from a view on an SQL server. The component would be something like a ListView or DataGrid - basically something that can display the data in a 2D grid format. Another application changes the data that the SQL view describes, and does this regularly but at undefined intervals....

What I'd like to do is separate the progress bar into s...
Hi,
Is it possible to make the text in a TextBox unselectable without disabling the TextBox?
It's a RichTextBox and I need it's formatting and selection features.
I can't disable it because I want to handle MouseMove and MouseDown events.

I use JetBrain's dotTrace here in the office, but that does not help me find bottlenecks on the machines of our customers.
