    Re: serializing objects to XML

    The types will not be known in advance. That's the reason why XmlSerializer looks appealing. I can extract the type information, so I shouldn't need to know it ahead of time

    ASP Time Zones and Cookies Expiration

    Folks,

    As far as I understand, browsers use UTC to check cookies for expiration. That allows to avoid the following situation. Suppose, a server wants to set a cookie with a lifetime of 2 hours....
  5. Does it make sense top new-up pens and brushes in OnPaint() every time it's called?

    Folks,

    I need to make a fairly simple WinForms custom control. It will have about hundred or so graphics shapes (lines, circles). Little to no animation. At the moment of writing, I don't...

  7. Implicit Conversion Operators and Value Types

    Folks,

    I’ve come across this blog article: Implicit Conversion Operators are Bad. The article discourages the use of implicit conversion with reference types. In the beginning, the article has...
  8. Re: Should a type for working with fractions be a class or a struct?

    Thank you for the insight. I went ahead and created a struct and ran into the following problem.

    I can't have an explicit parameterless constructor. I can't have an instance field initializer...
  9. Should a type for working with fractions be a class or a struct?

    Folks,

    I’m making a C# type for working with fractions, and trying to follow best practices. My question is: should a type like this be a class (reference type) or a struct (value type)?

    declaring a const object in C#

    Folks,

    I used to be an enthusiastic C++ writer. Currently, I’m going up the learning curve of .NET and C#.

  11. Grid control like in VS2008 properties window

    Folks,

    Properties window in visual studio is built around a nice grid control (or tree-grid control even). Does Microsoft provide a control like that to developers? I’d like to use it on my...
  12. Re: Opaque controls on a completely transparent form

    Hey Bill,

    Actually, I was able to find the article from the GUID in the original version of the link. :D

  13. Re: Opaque controls on a completely transparent form

    That was illuminating. Thanks.

    One thing that makes this problem a little more interesting is that one of the controls is a picture with irregular outline. The image itself is drawn with only a...
  14. Opaque controls on a completely transparent form

    Folks,

    As everyone have noticed, the Form class has the Opacity property. It sets the opacity of the form and all of the controls. But is it possible to have opaque controls (e.g. picture boxes)...

    Swapping control into a different parent

    Colleagues,

    What I'm trying to achieve is kind of an undocking behavior, where a control can undock from one form and float in a different form. My code is based on a working reference design. ...

    Folks,

    There is a panel which contains 2 components: a label and a TreeView. The hierarchy, obviously, looks like this:


    panel1 // handles Enter event
    - label1
    - treeView1

    I need...

    and

    m_ctrPanel.Leave += new System.EventHandler(this.OnLeave);
    Obviously, they serve the same...
