C++ Reference

Java2s – Simply amazing site! And it’s not just for Java. In fact, I’ve never went there for Java.

C++ FAQ Lite by Marshall Cline of Parashift.com. (Highlighted: Should I learn C before I learn OO/C++?)

C# Online.NET – Although missing several sections it is beyond useful.

There might be more but those are what I was thinking of at the moment.

Not that either would remember of course, I’m just saying…

Before my mental breakdown they helped tremendously on a few projects by helping me wrap my feeble mind around a few ideas in the C# Usetnet groups.

Anyway…

I’m working on a project that requires hooking shell32.dll for various reasons and found a few code examples (not completely related).

Browse for folders using Shell32.dll’s BrowseForFolder method in C# — an example of restricting a browse dialog to folders only — useful for designating a working directory.

P/Invoke SHSetKnownFolderPath — apparently a Stack Overflow user wants to redirect a known folder path to another folder path.

These examples however were gold:

C# does Shell, Part 2

Global System Hooks in .NET

Low-level Windows API hooks from C# to stop unwanted keystrokes.

IProgressDialog .NET — for some inexperienced reason it never even dawned on me that there might be an interface for native progress dialogs.

OK, I’m totally confused now.  I swore that CheckedListBoxes were missing and then I noticed I misread — or so I thought.

The documentation for Control.BringToFront does not say it is available for the Compact Framework, yet I’m using it.

If it wasn’t for this link though — that I actually found earlier but didn’t feel the need to post as it only made me look sillier — I would still be searching for the existence of CheckedListBox in the .NET CF.

I wonder why no mention is made on certain classes that they are available for the Compact Framework?  Is there some documentation that I am not finding, reading properly… ?

The Pocket PC Developer Network is an awesome resource for developing Compact Framework applications.

Component Source has a decent listing of mobile components.

Open WinForms deserves an honorable mention despite their lack of .NET CF components/controls.

I’m sure you’ll find it listed somewhere above but Resco (dot net) is releasing some mighty find developer tool kits.

I am terribly sorry (who am I apologizing to?) but I apparently did not read well enough or just need to stop reading in the wee hours of the night.

CheckedListBox does NOT exist in the Compact Framework.  End of story.  *sigh*
