		<description><![CDATA[The .NET FolderBrowserDialog class does not have an InitialDirectory property like the OpenFileDialog class.&#160; But fortunately, it’s quite easy to set an initial folder in the FolderBrowserDialog: FolderBrowserDialog dialog = new FolderBrowserDialog(); dialog.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop; dialog.SelectedPath = @&#34;C:Program Files&#34;; if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { Console.WriteLine( dialog.SelectedPath ); } Note that you can choose other RootFolder’s [...]]]></description>

Form Open Following is the order of events when a Form is opened.&#160; Note that the Form’s Visible and IsDisposed property values are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s common UI courtesy to show the Wait cursor when performing a long operation that requires the user to wait.&#160; Here is how the Wait cursor appears in Windows Vista: But developers often go about this the wrong way by setting the Cursor.Current property as follows: Cursor.Current = Cursors.WaitCursor; The problem with this approach is [...]]]></description>

First, the code above will throw an exception because the OpenForms collection changes each time you close a form, and so the enumerator in your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The DataGridView is a powerful grid control included in the .NET Framework.  One function missing, however, is the ability to hide the current selection when the DataGridView control is not focused.  What the DataGridView class needs is a HideSelection property, similar to the ListView and TextBox.  But the .NET designers have not included this capability [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Methods that affect a Windows Forms control can be executed only on the thread that created the control. .NET does not permit directly manipulating controls across threads. The Visual Studio compiler under .NET 2.0 will mark these attempts as errors. .NET 1.1 will allow them, but these will often result in unexpected behavior like incorrectly-painted [...]]]></description>
