In the designer, select the context menu strip and right click in the area for a new item (where it says Type Here) and choose Insert|Separator.

Hi Dave,

I'm actually creating the context menu all in code without the designer. How would I go about doing this using just code?

Thanks for the reply.

James.

This is a quick example - just creates one item in a context menu attached to the form

using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

public class FormMain : Form
{
    private IContainer components = null;
    private ContextMenuStrip contextMenuStrip;
    private ToolStripSeparator toolStripSeparator;

    public FormMain()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
    {
        if (disposing && (components != null))
        {
            components.Dispose();
        }
        base.Dispose(disposing);
    }

    private void InitializeComponent()
    {
        components = new Container();
        contextMenuStrip = new ContextMenuStrip(components);
        toolStripSeparator = new ToolStripSeparator();

        contextMenuStrip.SuspendLayout();
        SuspendLayout();

        // contextMenuStrip
        contextMenuStrip.Items.AddRange(new ToolStripItem[] {
            toolStripSeparator});

        // FormMain
        AutoScaleDimensions = new SizeF(6F, 13F);
        AutoScaleMode = AutoScaleMode.Font;
        ClientSize = new Size(284, 262);
        ContextMenuStrip = contextMenuStrip;
        Text = "Form Main";

        contextMenuStrip.ResumeLayout(false);
        ResumeLayout(false);
    }
}

Try reading some of the C# articles on this site. You will find many examples that can help you to learn how to use the features of C#.NET.

so what is your real problem?
You do not know how to save into file? If so then Use StremWriter for saving and reading StreamReader

Quick question about UAC

Hi,
Actually this question can fit every category; how can I get the location of application data folder (which I can read/write without elevation)?

Thanks.

Then disable UAC

I am not the only one using this application and probably you didn't understand my question.

Try using:

var path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData);

I think that does what you want. Take a look at the Environment.SpecialFolder enumeration, it has some other useful folders in there as well.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. That was the code I was looking for. But there is a minor problem, at Windows XP it crashes the application, in Vista and 7 it works fine.

Strange. Do you get an exception? If so, which one?

Have you tried stepping through, seeing what is going on just before the crash?

The application I tested this code is in is a simple console application which I've created just for testing purposes. It contains two lines. This and Console.ReadLine(). It throws an exception but framework is not able to catch it so it is shown as a standart Windows exception. When I check it's details I can only see that it occured in System.Security namespace.

It's quite odd.
