Keeping track of all of this stuff is getting confusing, but Project Distributor is helping out a bit by providing a great tool-box where I can upload my code and samples. I'll try and use it as often as possible, that way people can just jump over and...

I'm starting to get all excited now. Before I go too much into Rumors .NET, the idea isn't entirely mine. During one of my projects working at Microsoft I had some chats with an excellent engineer on the concepts of messaging and rumor systems within...

Putting your WinForms graphics into a sleep state...

Looped GIF Animations in GDI+

Animated image display in GDI+ is fairly simple. They give you a special ImageAnimator class that internally stores a 50 ms timer to figure out when frames in an image should be updated, throws an event to control the update process in case you need to...
