Create new class which inherit StringCoverter, and 3 methods:
internal class List2PropertyConverter : StringConverter
{
public override bool
GetStandardValuesSupported(
ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
//True - means show a Combobox
//and False for show a Modal
return true;
}
public override bool
GetStandardValuesExclusive(
ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
//False - a option to edit values
//and True - set values to state readonly
return true;
}
public override StandardValuesCollection
GetStandardValues(
ITypeDescriptorContext context)
{
return new StandardValuesCollection(
new string[] {"test1", "test2", "..."});
}
}
private string testValue;
[Browsable(true)]
[Category("Category name")]
[TypeConverter(typeof(List2PropertyConverter))]
public string TestValues
{

}
Spammers really bug me.
I've been working on this on-going sports related portal project (that probably will NEVER go live :)
I love of hobby community sites degrade quickly because they lack the moderation resources to keep the user submitted content quality high and I've been thinking about this problem.
I thought I would share some interesting links that I found on the subject.

Simple and obvious example how to realize Design Patterns. A example based on Hot Drinks and presented design of the application with explanations.
ADInsight is an LDAP (Light-weight Directory Access Protocol) real-time monitoring tool aimed at troubleshooting Active Directory client applications. Use its detailed tracing of Active Directory client-server communications to solve Windows authentication, Exchange, DNS, and other problems.
How many times have you walked up to a system in your office and needed to click through several diagnostic windows to remind yourself of important aspects of its configuration, such as its name, IP address, or operating system version If you manage multiple computers you probably need BGInfo. It automatically displays relevant information about a Windows computer on the desktop's background, such as the computer name, IP address, service pack version, and more. You can edit any field as well as the font and background colors, and can place it in your startup folder so that it runs every boot, or even configure it to display as the background for the logon screen.
I wanted to write about delegates this month. There are different ways in which you can invoke delegates to get either a synchronous or an asynchronous behavior. But from what I noticed, the delegate model provides you very less control when you invoke it asynchronously. The caller cannot easily abort or terminate the operation.
If you want to execute a delegate asynchronously and still want to have good control from the caller then invoke it explicitly from a thread. The sample below demonstrates multiple ways you can invoke a delegate and each has its own features with it. Till I wrote this, I didn’t realize that there are 6 ways to invoke a delegate and I am sure there are a few more that I am missing here. It was also interesting that when you execute a delegate on a thread then it cannot return a value as the caller of the thread is gone when the thread returns. If you want to pass parameters to the delegate in the thread you can use the ParameterizedThread option which is very useful.
