• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Dynamically Building a Multi-Column ListBox

  I've followed Henry Hahn's example to format a multi-column ListBox. http://blogs.msdn.com/henryh/archive/2005/06/23/431846.aspx     In particular, I'm interested in the way the header scroll viewer synchronized with the items scroll viewer using data binding: <ScrollViewer HorizontalOffset="{Binding Path=HorizontalOffset, ElementName=Master}" This works fine as in the example.

Socket.getLocalAddress() returns 0.0.0.0 for a TCP outbound connection (v1.1 works correctly).  I would guess it doesn't work right for Sockets returned from ServerSocket.accept().  I don't have time to debug Microsoft's software for them, however.
