I think the answer is in your question: ABean wrote: (are you missing an assembly reference?) According to the MSDN Help for System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter Class[^] you need to reference the assembly System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap (see the requirements section at the bottom of the page) To add a reference to this assembly in your project right click the requirements node under the project in the solution explorer and select Add Reference... Find the reference to the above assembly and add it. Does this help?

He doesn't want a fixed-width form, merely to not be notified initially of the resize when the form is loading. You did, however, remind me that it was ControlStyles.ResizeRedraw and the Control.ResizeRedraw property that did match-up, though. I knew there was a pairing there somewhere, just didn't remember off the top of my head. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

i was just about to say, Dispose the Image. When you Dispose an object, it releases any unmanaged resources it has open, including file handles. RageInTheMachine9532 "...a pungent, ghastly, stinky piece of cheese!" -- The Roaming Gnome

This would be a simple owner-drawn ListBox, for which several articles on this site already cover what you need to do (or alternatives, at least). Read ImageListBox - exposing localizable custom object collection as a property[^]. If covers a few things you didn't mention requiring, but the source will give you an idea. Basically, you just set DrawMode to DrawMode.OwnerDrawVariable (since they could be different heights, as you mentioned), and handle both the MeasureItem and DrawItem events. If you would actually be better, however, to extend ListBox with your own implementation (perhaps something like ImageListBox) that overrides the DrawMode property (always returns DrawMode.OwnerDrawVariable but does nothing or throws a NotSupportedException or something in the set accessor) and the OnMeasureItem and OnDrawItem methods (don't forget to call the base class's implementation so that events are fired). This is a far better approach because you won't have to implement all this code again every time you want to have an ImageListBox-like control, and overriding methods is faster than handling events. It's all about encapsulation. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

You can also just batch the insert statements together and execute them all at once, or in smaller batches of 10 or so. Just seperate the statements with ; If you don't kill me you will only make me stronger That and a cup of coffee will get you 2 cups of coffee

It's just like subscribing to the event, except that you use -= instead of += intanceOfA.FireTorpedoes -= new EventHandler(intanceOfA_FireTorpedoes); Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }

IIRC, you should be able to get it using DataView[physicalRowIndex]. This gets you a DataRowView. Get the Row property to get the actual DataRow, though if you just want the value of a column in the row, you can get it as you would with a DataRow using the DataRowView.

Heath, I just read your article; thanks for posting it. It brings together all the MSDN articles that I had read and the ones that I missed and it cuts straight to the point. Thanks again.

Implement the IMessageFilter interface and add an instance of your implementation using Application.AddMessageFilter (this can degrade performance severely if not implemented correctly / efficiently). Watch for the WM_QUERYENDSESSION (0x0011, cancelable) or WM_ENDSESSION (0x0016). Alternatively, you can override WndProc in your main application window (the form you pass to Application.Run, for example) and do the same thing. Windows sends this message when shutting down. You can return false to attempt to prevent Windows from shutting down (it most likely will), or just return true and close your application or do whatever you need to.

Is it possible to do that for a single file in VC7? MSDN seems to indicate that the only way to do this would be to stick it in its own sub-project. In any case I would rather not change ANY environment settings because this is for inclusion into an open source project that can be compiled on many platforms/compilers. Renaming it to CPP seems to be the easy way out. It’s just a collection of functions so I really can’t see how it would hurt. But thought it would be good to check with you guys first.

Thanks, that was it. DEBUG was defined in the sample program's project.
