The documentation for RegisterWaitForSingleObject says Using a Mutex for waitObject does not provide mutual exclusion for the callbacks because the underlying Win32 API uses the default WT_EXECUTEDEFAULT flag, so each callback is dispatched on a separate thread pool thread. Instead of a Mutex, use a Semaphore with a max...

Does anyone know how to get number (or currency) format string (like "###,###,##0.00) from .NET NumberFormatInfo class?

I have a .NET assembly which has defined a type T at compile time, and I have instantiated an object my_t as an instance of this type. I am wondering if it is possible in .NET to use the runtime compiler services to re-compile this class, then load the new class definition into the currently executing assembly, so when I call methods of...
While trying to write a custom control I've come across a problem with the System.Windows.Forms.TextFormatFlags enum in combination with the Visual Studio (2005/2008) editor. The reason for this problem seems to come from the fact that this enum has multiple members which map to a zero value. Selecting any of these members (GlyphOverhang...

If I change the current thread culture to a different one I should be able to get the month names back in that language. This seems to be working for French, but not for Japanese. What do I need to do s...
