• Visual C# GDI form transparency problem

  I'm trying to draw a transparent form using GDI, by overiding the OnPaint and OnPaintBackground event handlers.

For some reason, the screen is never cleared, and when it redraws the new things are composited ontop the previous draws, making the transparent images darker and darker. Here is the contents of ...Show All

  Given: VB.net .Net Framework 1.1 In my program I use ODBC:SQLDataSources to discover available SQL Servers. I have recently realized that my code does not discover the Named Instance of SQL2005 which runs along side SQL2000 on my machine. I believe that .Net Framework 2.0 has a new function for SQL Server enumeration but I need to remain at the 1.1 level for some time. Is there a better way to discover SQL Servers which will discover the N ...Show All
