the post it's rather old but i'll write an answer anyway for others to see it .. so here it is: by overriding the OnPaint method should work just fine, subclass the textbox class and in the constructor add the UserPaint style like this: this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint, true); after that, override the OnPaint method and add the following line: e.Graphics.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.ClearTypeGridFit; now you may use e.Graphics.DrawString(this.Text, ...) to paint the text. NO. Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers.

Cool! A response after more than three years :-D I thought I am the only one who has this problem, so I've learned to live with this Bug. But now I will try this workaround. Many thanks! occcy

Hi when you add the menu item write this code. this.menuItem name.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.eventhandler name); bye:)

If you're wanting specifically to work with the eventlog, try using the System.Diagnostics.EventLog class. This will provide all of the writing methods you will need -- including writing an "error" event.

The remoting framework takes care of synchronization for you. You don't have to write any synchronization code. Each client will get it's own singlecall object. Regards Senthil My Blog

try this: using System.Reflection ... string s = Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().Version.ToString(); U can use other calls than GetExecutingAssembly if u whant other assemblies.

Okay! That sounds plausible ;-) Thanks! occcy

Hi, Soliant is quite true. I once wrote a small program which went through the file system recursively and stored the streams of all files in a hashtable... The prog worked fine in loading more than 2 GB of data in the memory... it seemed as if it was efficiently and smartly doing paging... without any error... But obviously in this case other application's performance was getting affected. regards Aryadip. Cheers !! and have a Funky day !!

Actually, just myAssm.xml is fine. This is how the FCL XML documentation is named as well. Microsoft MVP, Visual C# My Articles

Many thanks for this hint. I'll change my remoting stuff in this way. But solves it the problem of serialization of my Font object too?

I found a solution for this problem by myself! My Server marshals the Serverobject (RemotingServices.Marshal) and my Client connects that object (RemotingServices.Connect).

This is a known problem in GDI+. The resolution is to use non-gridfit font hinting or a monospaced font. You should also use FitBlackBox to prevent the lines from painted at slighty different heights. Here's how you can check for it (note: i have a fonthint field in my class): Also AA fonts look very poor in small sizes. void CheckFontBug(Graphics g) { //is font monospace? float w = g.MeasureString("w", font, int.MaxValue, sf).Width * 10f; float l = g.MeasureString("llllllllll", font, int.MaxValue, sf).Width; fonthint = (System.Math.Abs(w-l) > 0.005f) ? //allow float error (fontheight > 14f ? TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias : TextRenderingHint.SingleBitPerPixel) : TextRenderingHint.SystemDefault; } leppie::AllocCPArticle("Zee blog"); Seen on my Campus BBS: Linux is free...coz no-one wants to pay for it.

There are a few ways that assemblies are found. First, the CLR will read from <runtime> section of the .config file and see if you've configured any paths for bound assemblies. The application will then use assemblies in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC), starting with native (pre-JIT'd) assemblies first, then the other assemblies (those not pre-JIT'd). Assemblies are then used out of the application directory (the directory where you .exe executable is located), followed by any additional subdirectories configured in the <probing> section of you .config file. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconhowruntimelocatesassemblies.asp[^] for more detailed information. You can also handle the AppDomain.AssemblyResolve event and specify from where the assembly should be loaded (for example, from a different path, across the Internet/an intranet, or even from some Stream), but it's typically better and easier to maintain to work with the CLR and and let Fusion (the assembly binder) do its job. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?

If you need a focus rectangle, why not use ControlPaint.DrawFocusRectangle? You can specify both the foreground and background colors. If you need to invert the colors, you can create a new Color by XOR'ing each of the R, G, and B components with 0 or 0xfff. If you want to draw a rectangle around the bounds of the control itself use the Control.Bounds property for the rectangle param of the DrawFocusRectangle method. If neither of these approaches is quite what you want, you can draw dotted lines by using a custom Pen with the Pen.DashStyle property set in calls to Graphics.DrawLine or Graphics.DrawRectangle and similar methods. -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.21 GCS/G/MU d- s: a- C++++ UL@ P++(+++) L+(--) E--- W+++ N++ o+ K? w++++ O- M(+) V?
