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.

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…

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 1

C# does Shell, Part 2

C# does Shell, Part 3

Global System Hooks in .NET

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

Customizing Folders in C#

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

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… ?

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.

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