• Windows Forms RichTextBox Text Selection

  I have noticed that the behaviour of the caret when selecting text within a RichTextBox control is different from when selecting text within a TextBox control. For instance, if you attempt to select a region of text within the RichTextBox control, the selection will expand ahead of your cursor, and before the caret to a word boundary, even with the AutoWordSelection property set to false.  This is really annoying when you are trying to select part of a word. Is there a way to force the RichTextBox to mimic the text selection style of the TextBox control Thanks, Adrian. Apparently it's true - this f ...Show All

• Visual C# Unloading Or Releasing an Unmanaged Dll When Using DllImport???

Can I use Dispose to unload the unmanaged Dll   If so, how   If I cannot unload the unmanaged Dll are the ...Show All

The word 'or' replaces |, I believe, but I'm not sure if it's a bitwise or. ...Show All
