Multiple OS's causes DLL problems.

Theoretically -- is it a theory -- any program that runs on the particular Framework should run in the same way. But -- WINDOWS, how else could it be? The application does not find COM components and fails to initialize classes. Is it the issue of registry keys damaged by the installation?

After close monitoring of Windows event, it turned out that when multiple OS's are installed in a machine, the OS seems to assume C: drive even when the system is installed in other drives. The application looks for drivers -- but in which drive, is the question. The C: drive application looks for D: DLL's when E: application looks for E: DLL's. Either case does not work. Only the D: application with D: DLL's worked.

C#: FontDialog unable to set font sizes; Firefox 8

The FontDialog class of C# is not overridable to change its settings. There are flags to remove underline and strike options, but there is no ways to limit font styles nor font sizes.

However, C# is a language that has ready-to-use off-the-shelf components that can replace the font dialog with ones of your own.

The new features in Firefox 8:
- twitter search
- delay loading tabs at start ups (when you set it the opening screen)
- WebGL, HTML5 improvements

C#: WebBrowser.DocumentText does not support the += operator

WebBrowser.DocumentText does not support the += operator.

That is it. It does not. The String class should be formatted separately and assigned to that member variable.

C# DataGridView's SetValue

When a DataTable is set for a DataGridView, the value can not be set
to DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs.Value, which is passed by to a
method that is hooked to CellFormatting event.

The way to avoid it, is to access to the cell value directly.

private void dataGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, DataGridViewCellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
  if(e.ColumnIndex==5)
    {
      // If set, the following will be shown in the cell.  The Cell's value typed as an int will not be set correctly.
      //e.Value = "1";
                        
      // Instead, directly access the Cell object.
      int row = e.RowIndex;
      int col = e.ColumnIndex;
      dataGridView1.Rows[row].Cells[col].Value = 1;
                   
      break;
    } 
}
