• Windows Forms Scrolling a SplitContainer (newbie alert)

  I have a SplitContainer I have set to horizontal. I made the bottom half a DataGrid and the top half a TableLayoutPanel with one column for each column in the DataGrid below. In each top column I'd like to place an interface for filtering/sorting by each column in the DataGrid, but I'm not going to tackle that problem before I tackle this one. I'd like the top half of the SplitContainer to scroll with the bottom half. I tried making a Scroll event in my DataGridView, but I'm having trouble deciphering the ScrollBar properties and "left" isn't one of them. I tried making the form a child form of a MDI, but I guess the MDIContaine ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. How to copy VECTORs or D3D mater,text or MESHes

• .NET Development Socket BeginAccept Method Memory Leak?

  Hi, After copy and pasting the code from the MSDN sample "Asynchronous Server Socket Example" - http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconnon-blockingserversocketexample.asp into a Windows Library project (DLL) for use in a server I'm writing, I'm finding that each request from my client application causes a growth in memory of 4-8KB in the server application.  This doesn't seem to be reclaimed at all, it just continues to grow.  Since I'm writing a server that must run unattended for long periods of time this will be a problem for me.  After googling the problem I found a forum on dot ...Show All

• Windows Forms AutoScroll doesn't Paint until MouseUp?

  If I set a Panel to AutoScroll = true, and then at run time drag the scroll bar slider up and down, the contents of the Panel don't actually refresh as I am dragging the slider, but instead only after I release the mouse button. This is NOT good. How can I get the Panel to Paint itself dynamically as I am moving the scroll bar slider I figured out a workaround. The pseudocode is really: "if (!draggingSlider || showWindowContentsWhileDraggingSystemSettingEnabled ) { DoScroll() }". So I found out that the scrolling actually works "out of the box", as long as the computer is co ...Show All
