I used to work at a company that was founded on the same principles you're considering. They set the firm up by approaching the management team and talking to them about them being the first customer for free (with free support I think). Might be an option for you to consider. But speak to a lawyer - asking software developers about law issues is liking asking a lawyer about copy constructors.

I'll second CCleaner, it's a cracking util and should do exactly what you're after.

When you go to the download page, it hosts the files on freeware/shareware sites. Here are some of the links, maybe they are not blocked? FileHippo.com[^] Download.com[^] Hope that helps.

That would be interesting, but an apple.codeproject.com would too (to me at least)

Once I stopped trying to look at C# with my C++ glasses on I found I progressed a hell of a lot quicker. Trying to look at C# from a C++ background only confused and frustrated me, I spent more time wondering how to get const correctness and other stuff then I did learning. My advice to you is not to look for the book you're looking for. Going to ignore that? Fair enough, I did too for a long time. In which case, these might help you out like they did me:

Keep posting the updates here - it's interesting to me at least.

F Spot[^] is pretty good. And available via the repositories.

Take a look at what's offered to you in the repositories via synaptic (is that what it's called? I'm away from my Ubuntu boxes at the moment) - there's loads there. And the GCC[^] is cracking. One of the things I really like about Ubuntu is that I can get the OS is UK English. Might sound daft, but I like the fact that these guys have taken the time to spell Colour etc. properly, it's a pet annoyance for me in windows.

Could it be SharpDevelop[^] or one of the MS Express products you mean? Visual Web Developer Express[^] or Visual C# Express[^]

I've been with UK Online[^] for about 3 and a half years, and I'd recommend them when you make the change. As far as I'm aware, they don't participate in the snooping you're on about (which disgusts me as mush as you). Also, for twenty notes a month I get: * unlimited upload/download (not metered) * 8mg advertised, but I typically get around 6.75 which I think is good * it's worked 100% of the time from their end. The only time I've had a problem it turned out to be BT's fault at the exchange, nothing to do with UK online * excellent customer service. They actually called me up a few months back to tell me that they had reduced their rates, and I had been paying too much for 2 months. So they refunded me and said sorry - not many firms would do that.

Don't know of a culture language that does that, but have seen users do it via the control panel (Region & Language options -> Customise)

Do you think its a good idea to work through the book from beginning to end or a waste of time?
Depends on your way of learning. I tend to read reference books from start to end, and I generally get a lot out of doing so. I mentioned this once to a colleague - he thought I was wasting my time completely - but it works for me. The only one I've struggled to do that with was Stroustrup's C++ Programming Language[^], though it did put an end to my insomnia - and greatly improved my knowledge of the STL.

Anna-Jayne's[^] software company has ResOrg[^]. Not sure if it has the exact feature you want, but would be worth a look...

That technique works well, thank you Luc. As you said, it influences some controls paint jobs. Whilst that doesn't affect the control I'm working on at the moment, it probably will in the future, so I will continue to look for another means too.

Hi there, I have a simple user control that I would like to handle mouse events for (such as mouse down etc.). My user control has a couple of Panel objects on it, and these are receiving the mouse events I am interested in. I would like the parent user control to handle the events instead of the panel objects (or anything I insert onto the parent). I understand that I can assign the panel (and any other child object's) mouse event handlers to be the event handler I wrote for the parent, and that works as desired, but I'm wondering if there is a better solution? So my question is: to have mouse events handled by a parent object, do I need to have each child object's event handler set to be the parent handler code, or is there a property I can set to automatically pass the event to the parent? Many thanks.

It was clicking the My Bookmarks link directly. Oddly, when I click it now, my bookmarks appear. Did you change something, or could it be a result of a DB time out?
