The DragDrop events have stolen my object, now I want it back...

When you initiate Control.DoDragDrop() and drag the cursor over another control that has AllowDrop = TRUE, a reference to the object in the drag data is created and not released upon DragLeave.

Here is an example demonstrating the behavior:

For you must-have-music-at-work people...

- I am one of those people that need to have music playing in the background while working, but what usually happens is that I end up singing the songs because I hear the same thing over and over (especially with Cleveland radio). If I was mowing the lawn it would be ok, but this can be very distracting while writing software, so I usually just turn off whatever I was listening to.

 

A couple of weeks ago a friend suggested that I check out: www.kawaii-radio.net

 

I’m not really a fan of anime, or j-pop for that matter, but this music has great energy, a huge library, and I have no idea what they are saying most of the time (90% is in Japanese)! Perfect.

 

- For those with a bit more nostalgic taste, a big band station I volunteer at (WKHR 91.5) is finally available to hear live on the internet: www.wkhr.org

- Unrelated: I have another gmail invite to give out, so… who wants this one? - NO LONGER AVAILABLE

I would also like to hear of any other online stations that are software development friendly.
