Just post your email address and I'll make sure it's removed from all the spam lists out there ;)

If they're 720k that would be 29 floppies :) -- modified at 9:19 Wednesday 15th March, 2006 Um.. if they were 360k that's 23 floppies? How do you use calculators again? :-O

Thanks for the info Dave :-D

When using local profiles on XP, the first time a user logs on their profile is created based up the Default User profile (usually in C:\Documents and Settings\[User name]), and the profile is subsequently available if the user logs is at that PC again. Is there a limit to the number of profiles that can be stored locally, or is there an overall limit to the amount of disk space that local profiles can use? If so, how can these limits be changed? If there is no limit, I presume the contents of the profile folder will just grow and grow the more different users log in? Btw, I am aware of roaming profiles and that they can be deleted upon logout after their contents have been returned to the server; bandwidth restrictions between client and server dictate that using local profiles is the only feasible option at the moment. Thanks!

Got my first two(!) emails today.. just as I was starting to berate our spam filter I noticed the words Code Project.. phew.. :-O

CTRL+[space] does a similar thing and is easier to hit in a hurry.. ;)

Alternatively you could drop a Flash Player on your form. This might give you more control over playing of the movie and the ability to handle events from the control in your .NET code. (Add it to the toolbar in VS by selecting it from the COM component list.)

There are many useful articles on CP, e.g. http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/icmpsermonitor.asp[^] :)

The WebBrowser control is an ActiveX control for Internet Explorer. On your WebBrowser control try handling the event BeforeNavigate2. You will be able to examine the URL that is about to be opened and can optionally cancel it if need be. See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/webbrowser/reference/objects/webbrowser.asp[^] Hope that helps.

Did you write the .NET Framework 2 on your own or get some of your mates to help? :~

Reading it again, setting FEATURE_MIME_HANDLING in the registry will only activate Microsoft's additional MIME checking they introduced in SP2 for your application, sorry. :sigh: I think to actually handle a particular MIME type at runtime you might need something like http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/networking/pluggable/reference/ifaces/iinternetsession/registermimefilter.asp[^], though I don't know enough about it at this stage to give you an example. This is something I might need to use in the coming months so if you make any progress it would interesting to hear how you get on. :) mitooki

Applications that host the WebBrowser Control can enable MIME handling programmatically by using the CoInternetSetFeatureEnabled function. See: http://msdn.net/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/author/dhtml/overview/xpsp2compat.asp[^]

I'm pretty sure you'll have problems capturing the click event if there's nothing in the flash movie raising the event externally. If you *do* have control over the content of the movie, as you suggest FSCommand can help you. Example: http://www.pdesigner.net/Flash_MX_Tutorials/16_integrating12.html[^] If you are using Flash 8 or later then a much cleaner method of communicating between flash and the hosting process is available by using the ExternalInterface. Example: http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/langref/flash/external/ExternalInterface.html[^]

If you're using .Net 2.0, using ClickOnce makes updating applications easier. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/05/ClickOnce/[^]

I believe this utility might help you: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,9882,00.asp[^] It costs $5.97 for a one-off download.
