Eolas-Microsoft Battle

Has everyone heard about this stupid Eolas vs Microsoft lawsuit? Basically any <OBJECT> tag that references a linked file. (ex. music or video file) has to be changed. And its not like you can't do it anymore, you just have to do it a “certain” way. What kinda bullshit is that? All they did was make it harder, not really stop it. What a waste of thousands of web site developer's time across the world. See this article: http://techupdate.zdnet.com...

WinForms ToolBar Control

Ok, so maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this, but here is a tip I figured out. Normally the ToolBar control only works with images and text, otherwise the buttons look bad with no images on them. Well, if you want to use the ToolBar for just buttons with no images, create an ImageList control and set its height to 1, 2, 3 pixels. Then set the ToolBar to use that image list. It will resize its buttons to the size of the ImageList

Visual Basic 6... Yeah it sucks!

Have I ever vented about how much VB6 sucks in comparison to VB.NET and of course C#? I had to make a change to an old client's program today that was written in VB6. It's a head trip going back and forth from VB6 to VB.NET. Can I stop servicing clients who have VB6? Maybe charge them twice as much
