For some reason the resize event is only triggered once and only the width gets set. If I change the order only the height gets set. how to make it change both?Actually I wouldn't ever need to change both if not for a small but annoying little problem on normalising. Rather than fit the available screen height it always seems to be a bit more, as if the top border height is added to the existing max height. This seems to be a .NET bug.

I have a class that's getting an XML document from a URL. I've verified that the XML from the URL has an newline at the end. For some reason, though, this newline is stripped off before being fed back to the user, which is causing an mal-formed XML error when the users feed this XML file into other programs.
Dim reader As XmlTextReader = Nothing
Dim filename As String = _partID & "_" & _majorRev & "_PreCheck.xml"

I converted this app from VB6. I have 2 forms. Form1 instantiates Form2 via a Menu Item.I am having trouble getting Form2 to end when clicking close (X). If Form2 is 'idle' it closes fine; but if I am in a loop processing anything all the events fire, but it continues processing in Form2. I've tried messing with Dispose, Close, Application.Exit, Application.ExitThread. My last attempt was creating my own event to fire back to Form1 and dispose Form2 -- and it hits it but Form2 is still running. What is the deal? BTW if I use just Show vs ShowDialog -- Form2 just blinks and disappears.[code]

I have a small database program that gets data from csv file, I created a function that formats the font color of textboxes based on dates and values.
CODE:
I place this in text changed event and I have a problem implementing it, because the date conversion will not take place until the data is loaded. The second part works but not the first(Date) part.
I can create a button and use its click event to format the text boxes just fine, however i wanted the text boxes to be formatted on the fly . The problem is no matter where i call the function the date conversion wont work.
