Hello. I'm developing Windows.Forms based applications,
and each will need per-user persistent data consisting of user
preferences, last form size/position, and the like. Is there a
standard or recommended approach to this?
I'm aware that such data is often stored in an appropriate
HKCU\Software subkey and/or Application Data subfolder.
What I haven't figured out yet is if there is some convenient
..Net component or mechanism which automates and simplifies
the task.
For example, it would be sweet if common mechanism was
available to the Application and Form classes. You could set
an application property that specifies how/where to store the
data (registry or app data for example), and set a form
property specifying whether you want it to remember its last
position/size. Then everything would be automagic. If you
could add other auto-serialize objects to an application or
form class, that could be used for preferences and stuff.
OK, I'm getting ahead of myself. But you get the idea of
what I'm hoping to find... something other than a Registry
class ;-)

I want these to be in monospace, but monospace fonts are typically
bigger looking than proportional fonts so I want to reduce the font
size a bit. This leads me as an author to write
kbd, samp { font-family: monospace; font-size: 90% }
But _because_ monospace fonts are typically too big, as a user
browsing other authors' Web pages I've told Mozilla to render
monospace as 15px (compared to 17px for serif and sans).

I have a user control created on the main thread. Let's say, for arguments
sake, that it has a single property that maintains a private variable. If I
want to set that property from a worker thread, do I need to use
UserControl1.Invoke to set it, or can I just set it? After all, it is only
changing a private variable.
TIA

Hi,
User can adjust the size of columns of a table or the position of splitter
in UI. We want these adjustments to be remembered when we restart the
application. Currently, we are saving these adjustments by the user in an
XML and saving that XML. We read the XML upon restart and make calls to set
the adjustments. This approach becomes difficult as we add more controls and
more settings can be made by the user. What other techniques can...

I have two tables, both with autonumber primary
keys, and linked in a conventional master-child
relationship. I've created forms for both those
tables, and inserted the child table form into the
master table form as a subform. It works just as
it is supposed to, in that I can create a new master
record, and then add detail records.

Hi,
I want to save the form position when the user close it. I tried to
place the coordinate saving code in my destructor, but it is not
triggered when I assign the form to null.
Where should I place my code to save the coord. when the form close?
Thanks

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
