GDI vs GDI+ text rendering and measuring
I was investigate a GDI/GDI+ related bug the other day and I found out that GDI+ doesn’t render RTL text very well. In order to render it correctly you need to render it using GDI. GDI+ Text rendering This is done by Graphics.DrawString(…) / Graphics.MeasureString(..) GDI Text rendering This is done by TextRenderer.DrawText(..) / TextRenderer.MeasureText(…) The interesting thing about GDI text measuring is that it sometimes the measured size might be larger than the maximum size so be aware of that...

In the February MSDN Magazine there's a very interesting article about CSE and what is changed in CLR 4.0. It seems that the code below would wrap corrupted state exceptions thrown by the OS (such as Access Violation) and thus leaving the application non stable state when you not fixing the CSE. 1: public void SomeFunction() 2: { 3: try 4: { 5: //Do something 6: } 7: catch (Exception ex) 8: { 9: throw WrapException(ex); 10: } 11: } So they CLR guys made some changes and thus no more CSE exception...

Well X way partition problems are simply dividing the array/collection into X compartments each with it's own distinct feature/property. One way compartment sort is too simple (just return the array without doing anything) :-) Two compartments are not difficult as well - you just need to pointers one to the left side one to the right side and you advance the...
