  Hi. When I scroll my DataGridView it is scrolled by steps of 3 (or any other number) of rows depending on what is set in Windows Mouse Properties. Is there a way to make it scroll row by row t.e. one notch = one scrolled row. Thanks! There isn't any built in property to change this.

I also found that some empty data will also be sent to the server automatically if I close a client side socket. These two cases could be reasonable since there may be some acknowledgement to be sent arround. Upon closing a server side socket by calling its Close(), it's wired to see that R ...Show All
