I may try that, thanks.
Can also please somebody translate instructions on
http://enkler.tempw7.internet1.de/dasblog/dasblogce/PermaLink,guid,16df1a2f-e04a-496f-9de2-8064cb09f925.aspx to English? What should I do with it?
Also can we have VB version of the class or it doesn't matter if the class in C# and the form is in VB?
Thanks in advance.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
