• Windows Forms How can I trigger MouseLeave on leaving control Bounds instead of client area?

  Simple question, but a major pain for me so far. I have a checked list box that I want to expand on MouseEnter, and collapse on MouseLeave. Unfortunately, MouseLeave triggers as the mouse leaves the client area, and enters the vertical scroll bar area. The effect is that the list collapses down as soon as I try to use the scroll bar. Is there some way of creating a MouseLeave event that will trigger when the mouse leaves the Listbox BOUNDS instead of when it leaves the client area Alternatively, can I somehow access mouse events for the scrollbar - letting me keep the listbox expanded till the mouse has left one or ...Show All

• SQL Server Virtual Memory best practices with SQL 2005?

  After having my newly installed SQL 2005 instance lock-out all connections due to an Out of Memory error during a data transformation, I decided to start looking into memory config options. (Please consider I'm primarily a SQL developer who was selected as the DBA and therefore has to manage a Windows 2003 server as well.) In my case, the SQL memory settings looked fine but Windows 2003 Server had a fixed maximum on virtual memory of 2Gig on the system partition, and no virtual memory space on the data partition. I changed it to system managed for both partitions, and it seems to be working ok now when I pull over large datasets. It still ...Show All

• Visual C# Reusing an open FileStream with multiple BinaryWriter objects

  Hi all, a quick question: Part of my application (Windows Forms / C# / .NET 2.0) deals with different objects which all have Serialize / Deserialize methods (custom ones, not implementations of ISerializable). At some point, I create a FileStream for writing, and then need to call those objects in turn, passing the FileStream object to the Serialze method. Each object should then append some binary data to that stream (and the reverse process for deserialization, of course). The problem: When first creating, say, a BinaryWriter, passing the FileStream, everything works fine, and the data is written. However, when the writer i ...Show All
