Is there a way to determine the displayed height of a Windows Forms ListBox? In an application I am developing, I have a form with a ListBox docked in it. I need to automatically resize the form to remove the any extra space at the bottom which the ListBox does not use due to ListBox.IntegralHeight being set to true. Currently I am si...
With the .NET Framework 2.0/3.5 TabControl, I can programmatically select a tab using the SelectedTab property as shown in the code below: //toggles between tabPage1 and tabPage2 private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (tabControl1.SelectedTab == tabPage1) tabControl1.SelectedTab = tabPage2; else ...
I need the intPtr for a form. Control.FromHandle(control) gives me the control from a handle, but I need the opposite--get the handle from a control. How do I do this? ...
I have cruisecontrol.net building a asp.net web deployment project. This is working great until i created multiple deployment "configurations". Basically we have a dev,test,stage, and prod. The stage and prod configurations have a web.config replacement setup to change the plain text connectionstring section to what our production webs...
I've read that it's unwise to use ToUpper and ToLower to perform case-insensitive string comparisons, but I see no alternative when it comes to LINQ-to-SQL. The ignoreCase and CompareOptions arguments of String.Compare are ignored by LINQ-to-SQL (if you're using a case-sensitive database, you get a case-sensitive comparison even if you a...
Hello, I am trying to debug an IIS server that keeps redirecting *.html files to *.aspx... it sends the following html in response to url.html: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta htt...
Given that you have a control that fires a command: <Button Command="New"/> Is there a way to prevent the command from being fired twice if the user double clicks on the command? EDIT: What is significant in this case is that I am using the Commanding model in WPF. It appears that whenever the button is pressed, the command is execu...

How would you normalize all new-line sequences in a string to one type? I'm looking to make them all CRLF for the purpose of email (MIME documents). Ideally this would be wrapped in a static method, executing very quickly, and not using regular expressions (since the variances of line breaks, carriage returns, etc. are limited). Perha...
I just started using ELMAH and am a fan. My team supports a large number of web applications and I'm particularly excited that ELMAH lets us save exceptions from each application to the same MS SQL database table. We also support a few console, DLL and desktop applications. Is it possible to use the ELMAH DLL to log exceptions in these...
I'm about to undertake updating our coding standards documentation and I am thinking of perhaps writing them at a somewhat higher level than is commonly done. We have a fair amount of developers that come and go, and they are generally of an intermediate skill level. I want to eliminate the low quality "fluff" sections...for example, "...

I'm quite new to TFS (actually I only use it because I have some projects on CodePlex and did not want to go through svnbridge), and I'm looking for something equivalent to the $Revision$ parameter in SVN. Essentially on checkout, I want to update a file to contain the newest Revision number, to be displayed as Version number (just like...
I'm trying to put together a fun 'contest' of sorts. Developers will write a bot that plays some game - maybe BlackJack and the master program will host the game and let the bots play against each other. I've participated in such things before, but never been involved with the 'host' application. And I'm not sure how to go about doin...

I have some Visual Studio Macros created in visual studio which run from the macro explorer and/or keyboard shortcuts. I would like to run these automatically on pre/post build events but see no option to do so in the project properties. Can anyone tell me if this is possible and, if so, how? Thank you Jason ...
I've got a WPF window with SizeToContent="Height". This window contains an <Expander /> that displays a list of recent activity. What I'd like is when the expander is expanded the window grows in size proportionally. When hidden the window again resizes proportionally. If the window is resized the expander and it's contained list view sh...
Hey, Regardless of other options that may achieve the same result (i.e. adding breakpoints by hand) Is is possible to programmatically add a breakpoint into the source code of a visual studio project? such as try { FunctionThatThrowsErrors(obj InscrutableParameters); } catch(Exception ex) { Log.LogTheError(ex); AddBreakPo...
I have a web app built on Java Servlet technology. I am thinking of switching to a new framework, possibly switching over to a .NET stack with C# and ASP MVC. I don't want to take the current app down while I develop the new one. The goal is to have the old system run and just develop new modules in a new architecture. If I stay with a...
