Windows XP can automatically synchronize its system clock with an external Internet reference provided by the government. This class provides the same feature under programmer control. You use the Daytime class to get the external date and time, compare it with the current system time, and optionally update the system time....

This article demonstrates how to use Visual Basic. NET to access the registry. To do this, you write your own registry accessing functions by using the Base Class Libraries. Using the Registry and RegistryKey Classes. To access the registry without the constraints of the GetSetting and SaveSetting functions, use the Registry and RegistryKey classes in the Microsoft.Win32 namespace. The Registry class supplies the base registry keys to access values and subkeys in the registry. It has static (sha...

Ever created a stellar class and then had to write subroutines to save and retrieve it? Ugh. I got tired of this, so I created the Saveable class. You can extend this class through any class you've written using inheritance.
It uses JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) serialization (now built-into the .NET Framework 3.5 and Visual Studio 2008) to iterate through the members of a class, retrieve the data and save it to a file.
Wait!? You're using JSON for a database?! Yeah, that's rig...

Hello again. This time I wanted to bring you something that was really challenging for me to build. I must have tried at least four totally different solutions to this problem consuming literally days of my time until I reached the best one. At the request of our beloved staff, I will attempt to explain :-)
This class is an extension of a wrapper to the RichEdit control that ships with .NET. How it achieves its speed and also its slickness is by directly modifying the RTF document behind ...

A rubber band or focus rectangle is a rectangle that tracks with the mouse pointer while you hold down the left mouse button. This technique is commonly used to delimit a selection in response to user mouse-pointer input. In the graphics device interface (GDI), these rectangles are commonly implemented by using raster operations (ROPs). However, the System.Drawing method is based on GDI+ (the successor to GDI), which has no support for ROPs. This article explains another approach for implementin...

This article describes how to create an Indexer property in Visual Basic .NET by using the default property attribute. A Microsoft C# indexer appears to a Visual Basic programmer as a default Item property, and a Visual Basic default property appears to a Microsoft C# programmer as an indexer. Indexers permit instances of a class to be indexed in the same way as arrays. ...
