• IrishAnto Special Directories

  Is there a way to find the path to a users start menu (in order to install shortcuts). I tried special directories but I couldn't find it. Thank you. System.IO.Path has static methods for doing those sort of string mashing operations on paths. Even though it's the end of a path, the GetFilename method will return Accessories from this string. Then you need to do your own string mashing, which basically means you need to use ...Show All

• Jim Sharkey Painting User Control in a DataGridViewCell

Anyway, in my previous thread I had an error with trying to hook thi ...Show All
