• Windows Forms TextRenderer and TextRenderingHint

  Am I missing something or does the new TextRenderer.DrawText method not support the TextRenderingHint All of the text it draws is pixelated instead of being anti-aliased. I'm passing it a graphics object with the TextRenderingHint set to Anti-Alias but that doesn't seem to work. Also, the TextRenderer output doesn't look anything like a label control with the same text. What is the point of this new class again TextRenderer matches the Graphics.TextRendereingHint as close as it can but there isn't a direct mapping beteween the Graphis.TextRenderingHint (GDI+) and the GDI font quality. Anti-Alias shou ...Show All

• .NET Development Enumerating ports in use?

  Hi, Is there a way to enumerate ports in use Thanks in advance, Rana It is often overlooked that a simple list of ports in use is not that useful. A given port can exist actively in multiple tuples <Protocol, local IP, localPort, remoteIP, remote port> Eventhough is hard to believe You can have two tcp connections from same local ip and local port to the same remote address as long as you connect to a different remote port. A better thing to consider is why would you want a list of ports in use ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista ICredentialProvider

  Did anybody make a successful user logon using the new ICredentialProvider interface My credentials are displayed, but I can't make them to logon. And what worse - after 20 or 30 seconds, the winlogon crashes completely with no recovery possible excepting hardware reset. I thought I basically did something wrong and decided to wait for more detailed documentation or some sample code. But MS doesn't seem to put too much effort on improving their SDK documentation and I also found that at least one other programmer has the same problem: http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups/default.aspx query=vista&dg=microsoft. ...Show All
