I'd say you're doing nothing wrong. Because mouse moves above another control it leaves the panel, whether the control is inside or outside the panel.
When mouse leaves the panel, you could check the position of the mouse, is it still inside the panel or not. The same logic can be used in MouseEnter. You can get the position from the Cursor class.
Hope this helps,
Mika

I ran a search for a System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip which matches the width it is given but I was only able to find articles about ToolStripItems of one type or another. If this is a repeat, sorry.
I have a ToolStrip with context which can be resized. I would like the ToolStrip to be as large as it can be. Currently the ToolStrip will take the whole line (row) in the ToolStripContentPanel. If I try to drag the ToolStrip beside a ToolStrip which doesn't take up the whole line, the short one shifts down so that the resizable one can take over the whole line again.
Currently on any client size change of the ToolStrip I set the only item to the MaxItemSize to force the ToolStrip to get as large as it can in the ToolStripContentPanel. This doesn't seem to take into account other strips on the same row.
Although this isn't extremely important to my program's functionality, I'm sure you can understand why this is driving me crazy. If you wouldn't mind helping answer my question I would be very thankful.
How do I create a ToolStrip which will take as much width as it can from the content panel without moving other ToolStrips out of the way?

I am not sure if I completely understand your question but try this:
With a toolstrip in a toolstrip container, set the "Stretch" property to True. Then toggle that when you want to allow the toolstrip to be resized.

The docs state:
"You can create a component to watch files on a local computer,
a network drive, or a remote computer."
I'll let you decide if that means yes or no

Hello,
I have an application that I run on my machine with VB2005 .net. Works good.
I take the exe to another machine and the application shuts down. We traced the program to the line:
thisconnection.open() - the application will execute the line but never come back(?). The app will just end.
We think that it is due to permissions or a missing component installed on the 2nd machine.
The program is at this point trying to open an odbc connection to a remote site to get information via sql call. (Again, this will work on the 1st machine without any problems (open, execute and closes just fine the odbc connections).)
Has anyone ever come across this problem or have an idea on a solution?
Sincerely,
Lmnorms1

Yes, part of the responsibility of software development is to learn (study, understand, know) about deployment issues. Here are a few of those issues.
* Know how to determine all the components that your application is dependent on.
* Know how to construct an Installer that will install all the components that your application is dependent on.
* Learn how to use Google to find documentation that one can read to learn things that one doesn't know but needs to.

Actually, found it. Thank you for the information. The information did help me in building the file properly.
The odbc connection was due to the odbc was not registered. It was built and could be seen in the user dsn but was on showing up in the odbc.ini file in windows. This tells me that it was not registered. Deleted the odbc and set it up again through the ODBC wizard in windows and it worked on the second machine.
Thank you,
Patrick.

Hi
I need to dial to a modem using RAS and than communicate to a TCP server using tcp client.
If I test RAS and TCP connection in isolation (using sample applications) both are running fine. However when use them both in the order
1. RAS call
2. TCP connection using TCP client.
I am getting following exception:
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An error message cannot be displayed because an optional resource assembly containing it cannot be found
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.ConnectNoCheck()
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.Connect()
at System.Net.Sockets.TcpClient.Connect()

Kindly advice what I need to do to achieve the desired results
Thanks in Advance

You need to find out what that assembly is and why it cannot be found

What have you tried so far? A simple google search should reveal several available techniques.

I'm probably blind, but doesn't .NET provide a quicksort or other sorting algorithm? Sure, they're a dime a dozen on the web, but I prefer a solution that's built into the framework before reaching elsewhere.
And yes, I know about Array.Sort and its variations. But I want to sort a field in a DataTable and I need a custom comparator.
[edit]Heh. Found this[^] Linq example (second post)

Hello,
I'd appreciate some suggestions how to solve the problem exposed below.
I apologize in case that's too easy and I cannot see the solution myself.

Either keep the Unregister, or implement IDisposable with an if(registered) Unregister(); pattern.
If you really, really, really want to get rid of this unregister then I suggest you try to knock up a generic event proxy that uses weak references to refer to the observer, and can unregister and drop itself when the weak reference goes dead.

Hello,
thank you very much for your answer. The solution with a weak reference was already implemented and it is good to know that it was not only the outcome of a "disperate" programmer (...me). The problem is that some subscribers should survive when they are reacheable directly (not only through the event) so the client should provide that kind of information. Again the client has to think about memory management somehow. It would be perfect to be able to find out where the instance (subscriber) is referenced and check if only the events are keeping it alive. In case of other references the proxy could be restored. But I don't know how (and if it is possible). Anyway you gave me the courage to keep "Unregister" or the like...and this is big value.

Here is an excellent article about this topic published on codeproject recently: Weak Events in C#[^]

Thank you very much. That's the kind of information I was looking for. Also refering to another answer, now I know how the proxy was meant (and that was NOT the way I implemented killing any possible new idea...)
