Yes. That is a problem. However, if I learn how to do it once, then I could do it easier and faster the next time(s). And in the process of trying, I will learn new things. As a poet would say (I don't like poetry by the way...) it's more about the journey, not the destination. ;) kostas KEL

Overriding ScrollToControl() in my custom UserControl as above almost worked for me. It did prevent the scroll from moving when my UserControl regained focus. But, the scroll would still move unexpectedly when I did something else, such as changing the location of a child of the UserControl. However, returning the AutoScrollPosition, instead of the DisplayRectangle's location, does work for me. protected override Point ScrollToControl( Control c ) { return AutoScrollPosition; } I got the clue from http://yue-gao.blogspot.com/2009/02/c-want-scroll-to-stay-still.html

OK. Someone helped me out! This is the answer : ====================================================== The problem is that the shell is caching column handlers. When the file dialog exits, it calls CoUninitialize, which unloads all the handlers even if there are references outstanding. The next time the file dialog is opened, the shell tries to access a column handler that isn't there any more. Boom! If you manage COM initialisation yourself, you shouldn't run into this problem. -- Jim Barry, MVP (Windows SDK) ======================================================= BUT, why does this happen ONLY on the Desktop? Normally the shell should do the same thing, no matter which folder you are in, shouldn't it ? ======================================================= It's because the desktop folder is cached. Other folders will be released (thus releasing their column handler caches) before the file dialog exits, but the shell caches the desktop folder and so it outlives the file dialog. -- Jim Barry, MVP (Windows SDK) kostas KEL

Sorry... that must be a typo, or a glitch when submitting a post (maybe interpreted as html code, 'cause I've used the xml kinda brackets)! :confused: I meant MFC applications cannot include windows.h... Very glad to hear that you solved your compilation issues. Congrats! Bornish ESRI Developer Network Compilers demystified - Function pointers in Visual Basic 6.0 Enables the use of function pointers in VB6 and shows how to embed native code in a VB application.

All .NET code is converted to CLR compliant Intermiediate language code. This code is readable if you open .NET exe files in some of the native .NET debugging/.NET servicing applications. Most programmers who want to keep their code fairly safe use Obfuscators (hopefully that is spelled correctly). These applications make it harder for hackers to get the source code for the program. 2) It depends on your perspective with regards to program security with .NET compilations over native compilation. 3)One project can only have one language type files in the project. VC# applications can only have .cs files in the project, you will not be able to put VB or VJ# codefiles in the C# application. You can however have multiple assemblies or projects in the same solution that are of different languages. All compiled .NET assemblies can be used as references to VS projects of any .NET language.

Personally, I use SqlConnection and SqlCommand and the Enterprise Libraries. KEL3 wrote: As I can see there are two types of buttons. The first is the standard that leads to write code in the *.aspx.cs file. The second is the HTML button that leads to write code in the *.aspx file. The first button however is invisible in my browser. Why is that ? I don't know. You need to post some code. The "standard" buttons work for me. Have you set any properties that would make it invisible? KEL3 wrote: If you could tell me how to connect to my database in an MFC project instead of ASP and how to make queries it would be nice too.
