I've seen that series of documents, although I haven't considered it for my implementation, though I don't think it really solves the problem I have of trying to make "push/pop and signal" atomic. It does however seem like it would have better performance than the standard locked queue. Thanks for bringing it up.

ahh a fellow explorer not afraid of the dark or the unknown excellent, may i suggest running these apps on a spare PC... i am having flash backs to when i started COM programming, my GUID registry entries would have won an award for coding horrors, and windows took about 35mins to boot up hahah the good ol days

I'll try this, thanks.

I see what you mean. The second interlocked operation was removed (because it was more or less useless for a real data structure), but the implementation could be better. Thanks for the tip.

Interesting, thanks for the info. I tried setting the borderStyle to solid, and then it changed the border outline to a different color (black) than what the OS renders (I guess), which is something like a light blue-ish color. In the end, I just said "screw it, 3D border style it is", since it seemed to look alright.

Thanks, I will have a look at this control.

Ah, I didn't think of that. Thanks.

Hi, This worked for me. What I was doing before was: Form2 form2 = new Form2(); form2.BringToFront(); Application.Run(form2); Then, I tried: Form2 form2 = new Form2(); form2.Activate(); Application.Run(form2); This didn't work either, so I tried: Form2 form2 = new Form2(); Application.Run(form2); //after this, call Activate() on the Form's Load event

Strange! Code shows your WebObject class is not marked as serializable. To pass the object to webservice, it should be marked as [Serializable] Navaneeth How to use google | Ask smart questions

I am pushing for this as well, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to convince them to allocate hours to upgrade our entire system before I finish this small project. Also, I think the Managed C++ in VC8+ definitely also looks much nicer in terms of syntax.

This is a little library I use. I pulled it together from various sources and stake no claim to it. It will encrypt binary and strings using public/private key encryption and standard passphrase encryption. Hope it's of some help. Crptography.zip[^]

Thanks for the reply. I found a way to do it by overriding WndProc, so I may use that, even though it doesn't seem like the nicest solution.

Yeah, I see that it may be a little tough to do this. I ended up taking the ListBox and overriding some of its functionality.

Whoa, this thread is old. Well, I ended up changing a lot of code during all of this, and never really got down to the bottom of the problem, so I scrapped the idea. Essentially, I was trying to change a DataGrid into a DataGridView, although there was probably other existing code and assumptions I wasn't aware of, that caused this problem. Sorry I couldn't be of more use.
