I am a bit confused about using the InvariantCulture flag while converting a string to double. Can someone please guide me as to how do we take care that when we are converting a string to double it should work in different culture settings(like English which uses "." and french which uses "," for decimal separators). My idea is that if I give the InvariantCulture flag then Double.Parse or Convert.ToDouble can convert any string correctly. Thanks, Pankaj

I used the FindWindow and SendMessage combo and it worked. Thanks a lot!!

I am writing automated tests for my project. As part of this I bring up a FolderBrowserDialog and need to close it programatically. But since the dialog is not derived from Windows.Forms and it is modal, I cant capture and close it. Is there a way to do this?

I have an application displaying an activex component which is in vc++. The component contains some tooltips which need to be printed. The tooltips are created using the CWindow class which takes in the class name in the ctor as TOOLTIPS_CLASS. Is it possible to print the tooltips?

Well this is my first reply in cp, so please correct me if i'm wrong:) This works in vs2k3 so i guess it'll work in 2k5 as well.U can create a Bitmap from the stream, which can then be converted into an icon object. Bitmap b = new Bitmap(System.IO.Stream); Icon tempIcon = Icon.FromHandle(bmpTemp.GetHicon());//Hicon returns a handle to an icon which we use to create a temp icon. obIcon = (Icon)tempIcon.Clone(); Win32API.DestroyIcon(tempIcon.Handle);//we have to create a temp icon and destroy it coz of some resource disposal probs.

Hi, I have loaded a Word document in c# using the Word 9.0 object library. The doc contains numbered paragraphs.Now i have to navigate to a particular paragraph using only the list number(i.e. i want to goto paragraph with no. 2.3, 3.4 etc). Can any method in word object library do this? There's a find method but it only searches for text. I tried setting the format option for this method to true, but it doesn't work either. I need help ASAP

Thanks a ton Mihai!!!u posted just in time

I have to store a DateTime in the registry in binary key. I think i can use the DateTime.m_dt variable which a double to store the value of the datetime. But I don't know how to convert it to binary like in Managed where we have the BitConverter.GetBytes(double). I need this urgently.
