joeware - never stop exploring... :)

So I am forced to write some more .NET code, worse, some Windows Forms stuff. Couldn’t put me further away from my happy zone. I do have to say that Borland err, CodeGear Builder C++ still blows VS away for simple generation of GUI. If only CodeGear did x64…

So two things that I have found I am unhappy about in just the last hour.

1. RefreshCache() doesn’t appear to work for the LDAP provider in DirectoryEntry. WTF.
2. CTRL-A isn’t captured and used for SELECT ALL by default in a TextBox. I actually had to code a workaround for it with the following C# Code:

private void textBox1_KeyPress(object sender, KeyPressEventArgs e)
 {
  // CTRL_A Select All not handled by default
  if (Convert.ToInt(e.KeyChar) == 1) textBox1.SelectAll();
 }
