What I think the problem might be is that the dataGridView has a few ...Show All

  My question is: how do I change the color of a progress bar By color I mean that intense green used to draw the blocks of the bar. I found a property in .NET Framework 1.1 called ProgressBarColor that is supposed to do that, but I did not find it in .NET 2.0.

  Say you have a Sub that calls a second Sub and an exception occurs in the second Sub, which you catch. Then when the second Sub drops out, execution continues with the next line of the first Sub (i.e. the calling Sub). I'm wondering if there is anyway to let the first Sub know that an exception occurred in the second Sub and allow the first Sub to also drop out instead of continuing. Here is an example in code.
