.NET continues to DoS attack me, seriously!

Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:45:00 GMT

Yeah, it does! And I don't necessarily mean denial of service - that would mean that I couldn't get any programming done. Nope, far from it - but it sure is denial of sleep attacking me. Come one, I am struggling to keep up with all the new runtimes, features, frameworks and best practices coming out of Redmond. It's awesome and actually fun; no doubt about it - but sometimes it is excruciating as well.

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:01:02 GMT

Today I wanted to create a transparent Panel-Control in .NET in order to superimpose it on the WebBrowser Control in order to record click events. The goal was to code a simple macro recorder for websites. Unfortunatelly the .NET framework does not allow (in an easy way) to make a control fully transparent.
