I'm creating a little program that acts as a glorified Registry explorer.
The TreeView doesn't allow you to show a plus sign unless a node has child
nodes, so I need to determine whether a registry key has subkeys and add a
dummy childnode.  The way I'm doing this is to populate ...

Using vs2005 and the new built-in Ftp functionality.  I need to transfer
a gigantic amount of data (15 GB) using my app.  The current way is that
 I ZIP (or RAR) the data and transfer it to the server via FTP.  Is
there a more efficient way to transfer data?  Does FTP go as fast ...

I am attempting to read all of the resources from a Win32 executable, and
load each of them to display them on a screen.  So, please help figure out
why I can't seem to get it right :)
First off, I have my API declarations (will post that at bottom).  I make a

statement in a TRAN and then issued a ROLLBACK statement to prevent making
real changes... but i just had a query parse successfully (ctrl-F5) and then

Is there a way to find out what fonts are installed on a user's machine?
I've created a ComboBox which allows the user to select font style and size.
If a user didnt have a font installed, I could catch it, but it would look a
bit unprofessional?

I've been trying to update the font style in a RichTextBox using FontDialog.

make the selected text change or the text from that ...

I'm currently rewriting some functionality which was using
multithredaing for retrieving datasets from database and updating a grid
control. I found that the grids (Infragistics UltraGrid, though it

Is there an equivalent html control or asp control in .NET that does
the following  -
 <ul>
   <li>list item1</li>

The controls in my form are bounded to a datasource, including textboxes,
comboboxes, etc...
Something lame happens: In runtime, the last focused control before clicking
on my save button, doesn't have its datasource bounded value refreshed with

I have an ImageList and I want to use it at design time in several forms,
how can I do it ?
Ok, I can copy the ImageList from one form and paste it on the new form,
but these ImageLists are then duplicate.

This is just a thought, may be its not possible , but is it possible to
use generics in method declarations as return type arguments..
for example

I have a procedure that creates a file, then generates a log report via
Crystal. If the user closes the form after the file is created and before the
log appears, the form closes, but (it appears that) a thread creating the
Crystal report continues to run. How do I get hold of ...
