Since you're just overwriting the file if it exists, try: File.WriteAllText(fileName, textBox1.Text); http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.writealltext.aspx[^] "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

better use else if in second condition if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Left) { MessageBox.Show("Left Button"); } else if (e.Button == MouseButtons.Right) { MessageBox.Show("Right Button"); }

Yes, that was deliberate as the OP was wanting reference checking so two identical strings were treated as different objects. Even with those added it behaves as expected - it's just the interning of the string class that screws it! Example below. Warning: No null checking on value using System; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace WindowsFormsApplication1 { public partial class Form1 : Form { // listBox added in designer // buttonRemove added in designer // buttonRemove Click handler added in designer public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); listBox.Items.Add(new MyString(" ")); listBox.Items.Add(new MyString("2")); listBox.Items.Add(new MyString(" ")); } private void buttonRemove\_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (listBox.SelectedItem != null) listBox.Items.Remove(listBox.SelectedItem); } } } public class MyString : IEquatable { private string value; public MyString(string value) { this.value = value; } public static implicit operator MyString(string value) { return new MyString(value); } public static implicit operator string(MyString myString) { return myString.value; } public static bool operator ==(MyString first, MyString other) { if (object.ReferenceEquals(first, other)) return true; if (object.ReferenceEquals(null, first) || object.ReferenceEquals(null, other)) return false; return first.value == other.value; } public static bool operator !=(MyString first, MyString other) { return !(first == other); } public override bool Equals(object obj) { return Equals(obj as MyString); } public bool Equals(MyString other) { if (object.ReferenceEquals(null, other)) return false; return value.Equals(other.value); } public override int GetHashCode() { return value.GetHashCode(); } public override string ToString() { return value; } } Dave Binging is like googling, it just feels dirtier.

Agreed. I didn't even think to ask that yesterday. :doh:

Hi George, electriac wrote: public partial class Form1 : Form, IMessageFilter when you promise to implement some interface, you must do so.

Problem solved. You need to reload the COM components for the Windows Media Player after conversion.

I checked and the keydown event goes to the parent form and not the child unless the Message Filter is removed.

Hi George, I did tell you a couple of hours ago, modification datetime is the one to use. In Windows creation time is when you create the container, not the contents; modification time (or lastwrite time) is when you fill the container or in any way change the contents of the container. So if you create a new document at 9 o'clock, edit it again at 10, and copy the file at 11 o'clock using Explorer, then the original will have created=9 modif=10, and the copy will have created=11 modif=10. So looking at modif time, they are the same; looking at creation time you would get confused indeed. I set Windows Explorer to not show creation times and always show modification times. So it will not confuse me, the datetime I see is about the content; I don't care about container times. Of course, on top of the above, as you well know, some file types have a datetime information embedded in the data itself, such as the "picture taken" time inside a JPEG picture. :) Luc Pattyn [Forum Guidelines] [My Articles] Fixturized forever. :confused:

Hi George, good for you. I didn't know the article you referred to, but it is quite good indeed. One thing it did not mention is you can pass an arbitrary object through the optional second parameter "UserState" of ReportProgress(); e.g. a progress string could be useful there. Cheers.

I have uninstalled Mediaplayer 11 and reinstalled Mediaplayer 10 and all is well. So does this mean my program must use Mediaplayer 10!???

Is that an inherited button? Did you check what's the different between VS2005 and VS2008 for the portion related to the button in the InitilizeComponent()?

You might want to google: Paint .NET, it is an entire drawing suite that I believe was written in VC#, if not VC# at least .NET.

I have found also that all my old code could migrate without problem.
