Putting aside the discussion of the merits of including a Tip of the Day in an application (a la Is Tip of the Day Good) I am seeking either a ready-to-go library or C# source code for a .NET tip-of-the-day dialog for an open-source project (so I am looking for an open-source component, of course). It is usually easy to locate a needed c...

I want to add events to some built in .NET classes. For example I want to add the following events to a generic List(T): ItemAdded ItemRemoved ListChanged etc I can think of a few ways to accomplish this, but I'm not sure which approach is best.

The ComboBox displays the items by calling ToString() on each item, or using reflection if the DisplayMember property is set. My ComboBox is i...
