As I've stated before, I do make mistakes ;-) I have an application that I've written for my employer that appears, under certain *unidentified* circumstances to have a very slow memory leak. While trying to narrow down where it could be, I pulled one

Threading in VB.NET

A few people have been asking me how to build threading into their applications to improve the applications responsiveness and/or perceived performance. Rather then rehash what's already been well written about, here's a few articles that I suggest reading:

Launch a program using different logon credentials using VB and CreateProcessWithLogon

A friend of mine (who doesn't have a blog) that works in a SysAdmin role needed to see an example of using CreateProcessWithLogin using VB. He chanced upon an example showing how to do this using C#. Since he's not versed in multiple languages, it was

TreeView, ListView, Drag and Drop and Command Pattern Example

Erik Porter asked me via an IM session whether doing drag and drop with a TreeView was difficult. I explained to him that it was actually pretty straight forward, however, if you want to get the same (or at least similar) results as say if you were using

IsVisualStylesEnabled Revisited

Erik Porter and I had some discussion via IM concerning his latest entry (where he gave me credit). I noticed that he wasn't using LoadLibrary and GetProcAddress when checking whether Visual Styles were enabled. I was sure that it was needed so that you

New VB.NET sample application coming soon...

I'm now working on a utilitarian type application that will allow you to manage your Internet Explorer favorites in a much better way. Well, at least in a way that I find 'better'. ;-) I've been toying with this idea for a while and now it's begun. Since

Bug? Feature? You be the judge...

While working on the xbox friends thing, I decided to create a clone of the user interface that Windows Messenger uses. It's sort of like a treeview (or group box) and has a vertical scrollbar visible when the list is larger than the displayable area.
