The following blocks of code will provide you with a method of iterating through all the controls on a page and performing some change on the properties of the control. In this particular example, we wanted to provide a simple means of locking controls down to users who did not have edit permissions in the application. This allowed the data to still be viewable to the user, but no means to edit the information. Implementing the class is fairly easy, the security mechanisms are all contained with...

Deploying applications is hard. It takes time to build and test installers. Applications often require additional COM components to operate, and these components require registration. You also have to consider how you're going to physically distribute the bits. Will you burn a CD? Will you zip them up and place them on a website for downloading?

When it comes to game development, the XNA framework is an invaluable tool to use. It greatly simplifies the code that is used to create powerful, feature rich games. But, if you have ever tried to use the XNA framework in VB.NET, you quickly found out that it doesn't work. Maybe in the future Microsoft will support VB.NET, but for now XNA only supports C#. Since a quick search of this site didn't reveal any XNA code or templates for VB.NET, I decided to write this template to help those that wo...

While I'm sure that none of you ever have any of these, I seem to get them at the most inopportune times. The unfriendly Continue or Quit dialog just does wonders for your reputation and almost inevitably means a crash will be imminent while you're presenting your application, or, even worse, after releasing it. The second piece that I'd like to show you is how to simplify creating templ...
