My whole application (which is rather big, with a 20MB executable) is written in unmanaged C++. Because I can clearly see the advantages in using managed code, I want to start introducing managed code in my application, but where do I start? Can I easily start to use C++/CLI and link it with the rest of my application? (although the C++...
I need to support UI language change through the application menu. The texts are localized using resource files (similar to approach 1 here) if I set the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture before the ctor calls to InitializeComponent(), the UI is changed as it should. However, if the CurrentUICulture is changed during the normal run...
I have a generic list that I'm removing items out of using List.Remove(Object). I have been removing items but whenever I get to the fifth item I'm removing it fails and does not remove it from the list. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm removing but everytime I try to remove five items it fails on the fifth item. What could be causin...
I am using WatiN to script actions in Internet Explorer that run in the background of the user's machine. (I know...hacky). I am able through WatiN to make the Internet Explorer window not show. However, during my script, some HTML dialogs are opened. I am able to hide them using the P-Invoke ShowWindow in User32.dll, but they still ...
I am looking for a simple tool that allows the translators to edit .resx files, in order to translate the applications' texts. Visual Studio's Windows Resource Localization Editor is unable to edit these files, unlike Winforms applications. Any suggestions? Edit: I've found a nice free tool at CodeProject that does excatly what I ne...
Quick question regarding the Compact Framework DataGrid. How can I scroll a particular row into view? We have an application that displays scans in a datagrid. If the user scans a new item I add it to the grid, but if they scan an existing item, I'd like to scroll that item into view. Is there any way to do this? I tried using the foll...
Is there a way to invoke the garbage collector on a specific object within managed memory from an application? e.g. (in pseudo-code) Read myString from file; perform arbitrary operation on myString; invoke garbage-collector to remove myString ...
I am playing around with the new System.ComponentModel.Composition namespace in .NET 4.0 beta 2, also known as the Managed Extensibility Framework. I use the following C# example where a Monkey imports a Banana: public interface IBanana { } [Export(typeof(IBanana))] public class Banana : IBanana { } public class Monkey { [Im...
Something I've noticed from looking at multiple .NET starter kits is that business object construction is often handled at the client level. Then, the business object is passed to the business layer for manipulation, serialization to the database, etc. Shouldn't this code be abstracted to the business layer, so that the client only needs...

I was cleaning up a Visual Basic (.NET 2.0) solution. Splitting it into two projects. 150 classes have the Namespace RebateCalculator at the top of the file. These files are now sitting in Project with the default namespace RebateCalculator. If I were to insert a Class1.cs file and then namespace declaration that all my other files have ...
I wrote a .Net application that has nothing to do with network communication. There is not a single line of code in the whole application that uses the NIC, but my firewall has caught it trying to contact Verisign for some reason when the app starts. This does not happen regularly; as a matter of fact, it has only happened twice. The la...
Is there a way to allow a user to draw with their stylus (a signature in my case) in a Windows Form? Something like InkCanvas in WPF. I don't think I can use WPF in a compact framework project, or maybe I'm setting it up wrong. thanks ...
I'm working on an WPF application that has a few threads that are processing information in the background. If one of the threads crashes, it brings down the app. I'm going to correct that by wrapping the function passed to threadstart in a try/catch. However, I was wondering if I could do one better. It should be possible to write a si...
I am trying to bind an IList of objects to a GridView's DataSource and one of the properties of the object is an enum. I was trying to use a TypeConverter on the enum to use a Description when the object is bound to the GridView Row. It does not look like my EnumConverter.ConvertTo method is being called. Will a TypeConverter be calle...
By default a IIS hosted WCF service can't use libraries that uses user scope settings. The only scope that it accepts is the Application scope. When you try to do otherwise it throws an exception: [System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException]{"The current configuration system does not support user-scoped settings."} How to c...

I have a registration page in Dotnetnuke. I want to have a confirm email field, because a lot of our users are mis-entering their email. I've looked at this seven ways to Sunday, and can't figure out how to get this to happen. I've dug through the circuitous logic for displaying the form (I think), and I can't find the right place to h...
