• Janakiraman81 Using an Ada generated .Net dll in C#

  Greetings, I'm currently using Ada as my main programming language. The only issue that I have with this language is that there is not any decent GUI builder designed for it, so I tried to build a test .net dll with the functions that I needed in Ada and then call it from a form built in C#. Here is an example of the code that C# executes when pressing the button of the test form: private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) & ...Show All

• DevMatt Visual C# Look and Feel nice in XP, ordinary in 2000, why?

  Hi, I downloaded and am running Visual C# Express on my Windows 2000 machine. At first, I was slightly taken aback by the clumsy, clunky look of some of the dialogs in the IDE itself.

For example the "Edit Rows and Columns..." dialog if you right-click on a TableLayout panel. I'm not ...Show All

• Divider BackgroundWorker and SHGetFileInfo

  The SHGetFileInfo function sometimes does not give the appropriate icon when called from by a BackgroundWorker. As far as I have been able to ascertain you get the correct Icon back as long as the Icon is static for a file type. That is, the Icons for .txt, .doc, etc. are the same no matter which file it is. But the Icon for files/shortcuts with the extension .url or .sln (if you have VS 2005 installed) will have Icons which depend on file and ...Show All

• Dmitry Lysenko Wonder Cursor

  (using vc# 2005 .net 2.0) I thought I was pretty good with cursors until now... I'm drawing a "reversed screen" cursor. I can create one at run-time up to 224 pixels wide (and seemingly any height). I did this by creating a class that inherits IO.Stream and has the internals of the Windows IP .Cur file format (so I called the class WindowsIPCur). I then pass an object of that to the Forms.Cursor(IO.Stream) constructor to create a ...Show All
