This seems odd to me. I'm using FolderBrowserDialog to select a folder which will be the destination of a bunch of files. Whenever create and select a folder within the dialog, the resulting folder always seems to be read-only when I view the folder in Explorer afterwards. I've checked the documentation for the FolderBrowserDialog.Sh...
Hi, I am drawing a list of file & folder names on a panel and I'm trying to brainstorm the best way to detect if and when a user clicks a file/folder name, as well as what file or folder name they actually clicked. Below are the methods I wrote so far. My first thought was to piggy back each piece of text with a transparent control an...

I'm trying to add a .settings file in a windows form application by adding a (whatever) file in the project and have it named smthng.settings. Right after it is created, it crashes (if I look into the project's directory the file is there, but it's not "in" the project). Am I doing it wrong or could it be that the problem lies elsewhere?...

For instance I have an object that implements INotifyPropertyChanged with 3 fields: public decimal SubTotal { get { return this.subTotal; } set { this.subTotal = value; this.NotifyPropertyChanged("SubTotal"); this.N...

Recently, I encountered this situation where I wanted to display a form on another thread (not the main/UI thread). I used a threadpool thread. The form hosted a RCW (for a COM component). Instantiating the form gave me an exception that the thread must be a STA. I tried to set the apartment state as STA. But, that didn't work either. I ...

This is a .NET application on Windows forms using C++/CLI. I have a JPEG that I want to paint in my client area to represent an object. On some occasions -- like when the user is dragging objects around -- I'd like to draw the object with some transparency. What are the various available ways to do this? ...
Sorry if the title is a little cryptic. Basically I'm creating a zoom control in a c# forms app, the idea is that I can zoom an image by factors, ie. 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x. I need the image to remain pixelated, ie. nearest neighbors. The zooming works wonderfully except that when I select Interp mode to be nearest neighbors when working with th...

Some of the content on this website is already managed through a web application and has thousands of users worldwide managing their own content. The addition of WinForms would be for specific content that would be managed by Staff, mostly in a...
In my .NET 2.0 application, I need to check if sufficient permissions exist to create and write to files to a directory. To this end I have the following function that attempts to create a file and write a single byte to it, deleting itself afterwards to test that permissions do exist. I figured the best way to check was to actually try...

The title tells it all, I need to see how others solve this to get a grasp around it. WebForm applications won't help me, as I don't understand WebForms and it would really confuse me (if possible) even more. If such a example or framework would fit together with Entity framework it would rock my world. Edit - Added some info: WinFo...
I am trying to solve an issue in my application. I am developing the application in Vista and it works fine there, but when I take it to XP, the form becomes sluggish and unresponsive.
