This article describes the approach used programmatically to prevent a CD from going into auto play mode; this may be useful to you if you are, for example, writing an application that logs directly to CD and you are trying to burn data periodically to a CD but you do not want the CD to go into auto play mode after burning a some data to it. The download includes an article describing the approach and a sample application with a brief test procedure to confirm that it functions.

This article describes an easy approach to examining all of the tables, views, and columns in a database, the article is written to describe an example application that may be used to connect to a database (Oracle, SQL Server, or MS Access), view that database’s tables and views, and drill down into each table or view to generate a list of all of its contained columns. Further, the application will allow the user to examine the definition associated with each column (e.g., its data type, caption, default value, etc.).

The sample application and article describe how a developer can create a custom file type based upon the use of serialization and deserialization of objects using a binary formatter within Visual Basic 2005.

This article describes a generic application framework that may be of some use in projects that would need an interface similar to Visual Studio. The application demonstrates approaches to providing a toolbox, a workspace, an object treeview, and an object editor.

The article addresses the construction of a simple utility application useful for selecting an RGB or web color; the application allows the user to key in RGB values or use RGB slider controls to select a color. Whenever the current color is updated, the text boxes at the bottom of the form are dynamically updated to show the current web and RGB color values set for the current color.

This article describes a simple approach to displaying object property data within a data grid view control. The example includes a test application comprised of a simple data container class and a sample application used to bind and display object data within a data grid view control. The value of the approach is to permit a developer to quickly display object data in tabular format, or to provide a convenient method for editing object data.

Yahoo’s Local Search Service is provided free of charge to developers through the Yahoo! Developer’s Network.

This article describes an approach to embedding and displaying PDF documents in a web page through the use of a simple ASP.NET 2.0 custom server control.

This article provides a simple example of using delegates and events to transfer data between Windows forms. The example provided contains three separate forms; the main form interacts with the other two forms by responding to events generated by instances of the other two forms.

This article describes a quick and simple approach to creating a custom web control used to display multimedia files within an ASP.NET page. Whilst the article and demonstration project are focused upon the presentation of multimedia files, the basic idea is applicable to any sort of object that you may wish to embed within an ASP.NET 2.0 page.
