Hi Patrick,

As far as I understand, CommonDialog is the base class for system dialogs
like OpenFileDialog or ColorDialog.
If you just need to create your own dialog, just create a regular form and
then display it with the ShowDialog method.

I'm creating a library for internal use that relies on third-party code. I don't want clients of this library to know anything about the third party code, when compiling or running. Generally I've been achieving this by having an abstract base class which defines an interface, and inheriting a concrete class which defines the implementation. Clients of the library deal only with the base class and request objects of that type from a...

In the article, the description for "Modiy DLL That Contains Consumers That Use Managed Code and DLL Exports or Managed Entry Points" suggests the creation of the class ManagedWrapper. If I need to build multiple mixed mode dll's used by a consumer application, do I have to implement multiple ManagedWrapper's (each embedded in indiviudal DLL project) and call all of them in my consumer application?

I tried for an hour to find some reference to concrete information on why this particular inheritance implementation is a bad idea, but couldn't. So I'm sorry if this has been answered before. Here's the scenario: We have a base class with all virtual functions. We'll call this the Animal class. We then make two classes Fish and Bird that both inherit from Animal. In the program, we have a single array of Animal pointers that will...

Hi Moondaddy, I downloaded your sample project and run it and did see the problem on my side. There're three problems in the source code of your project. 1. You should move the following lines of code from the GetGeometry method within the CustomPolyLine class: _points.Add(new Point(10, 10));
