The general process is: Handle the click event on a button Create a new thread (STA) which: creates a new instance of the presenter and UI, then calls the method Dis...

I'm working on a quick project to monitor/process data. Essentially that's just monitors, schedules and processors. The monitor checks for data (ftp, local, imap, pop, etc) using a schedule and sends new data to a processor. They call have interfaces.

I have a really large VB6 code base with a ton of 3rd party controls. Want to move it to .NET. Rewriting it is out of question - the client sees no value in spending money to get the same thing.

I've got an application that's using string.compare(string,string) to sort some values. The thing I can't figure out is why "1022" compares as less than "10-23" and "10-23" compares as less than "1024". Is there something specific to the value of "-" that causes this result? Will that overload of string.compare give the same result wi...

Is there any way to find out what exceptions might be thrown by any method in .NET code? Ideally I want to see what might be thrown and choose which ones I want to handle.
