Should i always generate the Hashcode again, when the method GetHashCode() is called? Here´s a sample class : public class Id { private re...
I have a DataGridView in readonly mode in a .NET 3.5 (Visual Studio 2008) WinForms application. The cells' width is very small. Some of the cells contain a short number. Now, even with a small font, sometimes the number is shown with an ellipsis. For example "8..." instead of "88". Is there a way to let the text flow over the next cell...

Hi guys, I am trying to build a desktop app. The biggest requirement is that it should be as miniscule as possible. For Windows users, is it better to build it in .NET or WinAPI?

I've run into some problems when trying to serialize my object to XML. The problem appears when trying to serialize a "Profiles" property which is a List of Profile items. Profile is my own type. The Profile type should ideally be abstract, but it isn't, since XML serialization demands a parameterless ctor. The Profiles property contains...

I've been working on a really large project for almost 2 years and the client requirements keep changing. These changes, of course, effect everything and I would like to find a way to work with the CSS in a more dynamic fashion.

Hey, I created a Winform in VB.NET, and I added a Splitter control to allow resizing of panels during runtime. My issue is that the splitter control is not apparent.

As a professional .net developer (at least this is how I earn my money) I wonder if Mono for the Mac is worth a closer look. I already tried Mono 3 years ago when I first got my iMac but the installation was impossible to master and after half a day I just gave up. I also got help from a Unix professional but we both were unable to get M...
