relax...I just thought it was not such a hard question for this tremendous community.... In any case, I did not think that my post was particularly "rude", if I offended you or anyone else here at Code Project, my sincerest apologies.
Why does everything have to boil down to money. No I am not paying for support, but I am not paying for you to scowl me because I added a short comment to my own post. A great part of being part of a community is knowing how to interact in a community.

just like you, I am a volunteer as well, and where I can, I help people that need the help.

How does "Turn the form's KeyPreview on and handle its KeyDown event..." translate to "I don't know how to solve your problem"?? Sounds like a solution that works to me...

Give people time to respond if they know. Impatience like that only is going to piss people off and allow them to be less likely to answer your question.

There is property on the form, not the button.
After adding the button to the form, on the form set the AcceptButton property on the form. You also have a CancelButton property.

all can be done in form load

IButtonControl ib = (IButtonControl )button1;
this.AcceptButton = ib;

similarly others

Try this...

SaveFileDialog saveFileDialog1 = new SaveFileDialog();
saveFileDialog1.Filter = "xml files (*.xml)|*.xml|All files (*.*)|*.*";
saveFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 2;
saveFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true;

if (saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) {
    XmlTextWriter w = new XmlTextWriter(saveFileDialog1.FileName, Encoding.UTF8);
    w.WriteStartDocument(true);
    // use w to write your XML
    w.WriteEndDocument();
    w.Flush();
    w.Close();

Re: Flush & Close

Hi
I have one comment, unrelated to the original topic:

like so many people on this web site, you do Flush followed by Close

IMO there is no need for that, every Close has an implicit Flush in it.

The only time you must call Flush (and the reason for its existence) is when you dont Close
right now, but want to make sure the data gets pushed forwards (at least one level).

This may be useful if e.g. you are logging to a file, while another app is trying to show
the latest content of same file.

Smile | :)

Yes. I think the only time that Flush should be used is if you need to flush out the buffer and keep the file open. Like how you mentioned with the log file...

Hi,

This is related to the formatting, not the topic, of your message.

I am preparing an article on copying code snippets from a CodeProject message board to
Visual Studio; seems there are no problems when the browser used is FireFox, Safari, ...
but often problems arise when using Internet Explorer.

One of the factors is the tags that are present inside the < PRE> </PRE> block.
In your message the lines are separated by <br> tags; most other messages have
just regular newlines.

Could you please tell me how you get that, i.e. what tools you use, and how you go
about it. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. I don't do anything different, and I don't see a difference from other post. Can you explain further?

It is about copying code snippets FROM CodeProject messages TO Visual Studio.

Seems like most browsers have no trouble, Internet Explorer does.
So if you are not using IE6/IE7 you would not be aware of this.

IE6/IE7 often looses formatting, that is when copied the data on the clipboard, it
does not always represent line breaks and indentation well, pasting it in a
Visual Studio source window drops the newlines, and/or the indentation (space/tabs),
resulting in a complete mess.

It depends on exactly how the HTML code was built in the first place, hence
on the browser the poster is using and the tags he is adding.

Hence my questions: what tools do you use, and how do you go about it
(e.g. which tags do you use normally).

TIA

Personally, I just type of paste code into a <pre /> tag. I assume code project automatically converts all line breaks into <br> tags.
