Sharepoint Designer’s Data View Web part is a great control. I use it a lot when customizing list views. One thing I don’t like is lack of attachment support. With Data View you can only detect if item has or has not attachments. You can’t display them or get any information about them. As I understand Microsoft does not recommends any recursion while enumerating lists and maybe this is the reason you can’t browse item’s attachments. I solved this issue in two ways. One is using Lists.asmx web s...

This control (HoverGradientButton) is very easy to use; graphic and chromatic interface results have a great impact. The original idea is from a good article by Victor Boba (thanks Victor!). HoverGradientButton has a lot of properties, but default properties let the programmer to have a full ready-to-use interface with Office 2003 style. The component supports three different styles: HoverNormal, HoverCheck and HoverOption, that make the HoverGradientButton work respectively as normal Button, Ch...

Have you ever created an application that showed an animation in your window? You probably have, and if you have not, you probably will someday. The coding is really simple: you take a Panel and you add a thread to it that calls the repaint method every x milliseconds. Done? No, it's not quiet over yet. Because, if you leave it like that, the screen will flash and flicker, and your animation will end up partially painted, or not painted at all. The solution for this is the infamous double buffer...

The purpose of this article is to explain the structures associated with an ico file and an icon resource. The code examples will demonstrate the use of those structures and how to embed the structures in a DLL file. I started to work on my own resource hacker because I needed to automate string and icon replacement in a dell file. I started reading on MSDN about working with libraries and the basic functions for working with resources. I learned that enumerating resources, and opening resourc...

Many programmers would like to use Windows Vista TaskDialog on earlier systems like Windows 2000/XP. Unfortunately this is not possible. There are some TaskDialog implementations on the Internet, but none of them are written in VB.NET. I decided to write my own version of a TaskDialog-like form with all the functionality of Vista TaskDialog. It is almost fully compatible with the MessageBox class. And there are some features of Vista TaskDialog implemented (the rest of them will be implemented l...

My article for RDP describes how to manage remote desktop sessions to provide assistance, but this is only for Vista, and lots of users (including myself!) still run XP. Here is the way to establish a remote assistance session without manually calling Help and Support. My experimental project "Turbo Remote" uses this technique if it detects something less than Windows Vista....

There are millions of FTP programs. Why write another one? The answer is simple: I searched for a tool for my special needs, and I couldn't find one. I'm sharing a Dreambox with a friend. The dreambox is a digital DVB satellite receiver that runs Linux with a built in harddisk. The dreambox has a Web interface that can be used to program timer recordings via Internet from anywhere in the world. It also has an FTP server via which you can download the films from the harddisk once they...

The Microsoft Layer for Unicode (MSLU) provides Unicode support on Windows platforms that don't provide their own support, including Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows Me. With MSLU you can write Unicode applications easily for these platforms. MSLU is simple to install, small (even though it wraps more than 400 APIs), and easy on system resources. This article explains the design criteria behind MSLU and how to put the layer to work for you....
