Are there any design considerations that need to be made when targeting the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 Client Profile? I know it's a subset of the full framework, but what is missing and how will I know if my application will require the Client Profile or the full framework? Has anyone successfully developed an application using the Client P...
I know this may sound crazy, but I swear that on two separate ocassions via intellisense I've seen an overload for the DataView constructor that took in a DataTable and either Predicate or Func, I don't remember what T was, either DataRow or DataRowView. But now I can't find it. It also took in another parameter, I want to say it was a C...

Hi all, I need to develop a solution that will provide the ability for a user to search based on a city and state. The user should have the ability to request that the search results include not just matches for that city and state, but also include matches in a 25, 50, 100 mile radius.

In a previous question about ridding the system tray of an old NotifyIcon I was told that I should Dispose anything that implements IDisposable. Sounds like good practise to me however as a newbie it raises more questions :-) How do I know if a control implements IDisposable? Should I build a class that attempts to dispose everything ...
I'm new to .NET and my first project is to create a event calendar to be populated from a events table in mSQL. I know there is a calendar object in the standard components but wondered if i'm better off populating a table view manually as i didn't know if there were lots of limitations to the standard object/component. Thanks for your ...
UPDATE: Hey guys thanks for the replies. Last night and tonight I tried a few different approaches and came up with one similar to the one laid out below by Jeff (I had even already done what he suggested in his update, and put together my own simple LL implementation for additional gains). Here is the code, at this point it doesn't lo...

I have a custom control that I made. It inherits from System.Windows.Forms.Control, and has several new properties that I have added. Is it possible to show my properties (TextOn and TextOff for example) instead of the default "Text" property. My control works fine, I'd just like to de-clutter the property window. ...
I've been working on this RegEx for the past day or so and I think I have it worked out so that it returns the data I want. First a little background. I have a content editor that users will be able to edit web pages. They can format text, add links, etc.. standard content editor stuff. When they click save, the editor provides the ab...

I maintain a couple libraries for other people. After having gone through a couple releases for each of them, there are some things I would do differently, if I had to do them over again. The question is: Should I do them over? I guess we all face that dilemma - how to balance the helpfulness of the maintenance activity versus the d...

The problem is when I use threading I get the return error "General MAPI failure [2]". I have never used threading before and understand that t...
I'm trying to figure out if it is possible to instantiate and invoke a delegate by name, rather than explicitly. I think the code belows explains it fairly well....I want to accept a function name, and then instantiate the delegate based on that. In the example I use a select case, but I want to eliminate that and just use the methodNa...
