• Visual Studio Express Editions TextFile online

  is there any better and faster way to get the content of an "Online-Textfile" then: You will have to consider what is actually taking time. There is some thing you are not able to control in this case. The time it takes to establish a connection to the server The time it takes to request the file from the server The time it takes to transfer the contents of the file This is probably what takes 20 seconds and you should be able to measure it by taking the time it takes to step from the DL.DownloadFile() line to the next. If it is about 20 seconds than that is where your bottleneck is. If this is the case your application can most li ...Show All

• Windows Forms Printer Margins Changes When Locale Changes

  The MSDN documention says PageSetupDialog.PageSettings.Margins are in hundredths of an inch.  My CurrentUI is en-US.  I set Top=70 (0.7"). When my application is run in a PC with CurrentUICulture set to some metric locale, eg German-Germany, the PageSetupDialog pops up with a Top of 7 (mm). It seems that a Margins value of x inches will be converted to x *10 mm.  Why isn't it converted to x *25.4 How do I make sure that my margin values stay the same no matter what locale the application is running in Thanks. I found out more. If I enter a margin value of 25 (mm) in the Pag ...Show All

  Hi everyone. As you can tell by the subject line I'm trying to determine when the right-mouse button is clicked on an item in a ListBox. From searching the news groups it seems there's no easy way to do this. But first, I'd like to raise a related question. The ListBox fires two very similar events -- "Click" and "MouseClick". Let me quote the Microsoft documentation for the "Click" event: "Occurs when the ListBox control is clicked." Okay, that seems straight forward enough. Now, the "MouseClick" event: "Occurs when the user clicks the ListBox control with the mouse pointer.&q ...Show All
