I would like to know...
why Control.Validate() exists?
in which cases it should/n't be used?
in which cases it could be handy?
I'll give you an example as the msdn does here : Control.Validate(Event).
A simple example is when you are trying to "validate" an Email address that the user enters on a TextBox. If the e-mail address is not in the standard format (containing "#" and "."), the validation fails, an ErrorProvider icon is displayed, and the event is canceled. This example requires that a TextBox and ErrorProvider control have been created on a form.
And this is the function of it :
If the CausesValidation property is set to false, the Validating and Validated events are suppressed.
If the Cancel property of the CancelEventArgs is set to true in the Validating event delegate, all events that would usually occur after the Validating event are suppressed.

I have a Explorer.SelectionChange event.
Here is a image of outlook inbox :

I want a previous selection of mail in Explorer.SelectionChange event.
eg :
Select 'Mail 1'
Now on selection of 'Mail 2', I want a 'Mail 1'
The Outlook object model doesn't provide anything for that out of the box. You need to get the EntryID property value of the selected item (for example, in the SelectionChange event or at any point of time by using the Selection property) and keep it until another item is selected, so you could have it when needed. But don't keep the MailItem instance in the code, that is not really a good idea. You should release underlying COM objects in the code instantly and don't hold them where possible. The original item instance can be retrieved when required by using the GetItemFromID method which returns a Microsoft Outlook item identified by the specified entry ID (if valid).

I am quit new to WPF, so pardon me for the newbie question.
I have a wpf user login form where user can enter their username and password. I also added a TextBlock element which I set visibility to hidden. When user login fail I will like to set the text block visible with a string error message from my UserAuthentication class. How can bind my the error message to my TextBlock and also set it visible?
Add a string property like ErrorMessage to your ViewModel used as DataContext and set its value on error.
Then to show the message, you need to set binding on Visibility property on TextBlock using BoolToVisibilityConverter and bind to bool property on ViewModel (like ShowErrorMessage).

when I put a breakpoints on my textbox it shows textbox.length = "" even if there are characters in the textbox
There is no Length property present in TextBox Class.
Probably you mean to Check the Length on Textbox Text property which is of string type.
textbox.Text.Length
More info about the code would be nice. Is your Textbox really enabled? No transparent layer in front of it? You used the mySQL-Tag. Does that mean you use some kind of binding in textbox? Possibly you can't change the content of your textbox, because the database-binding / connection is read-only?
Is there really some textbox.length property?? Are you sure you are referring to the right property? Try this:
Convert.ToString(textBox1.TextLength)

if (Operators.CompareString(this.ParentForm.ActiveControl.Name, this.Name, false) == 0)
{
base.Focus();
}
From What I have experience in VB6,the above code doesn't work because they are never equal if the users didn't change to the same name.
From Example, the UserControl Name is ucCalendar, When I drag to my From, the name will automatically change to ucCalendar1,even though I can change to ucCalendar but usually we won't do that.
I think the coder want to compare whether the UserControl is the only control or ActiveControl on the Form so that he can force to focus it.
I don't know this C# works or not. Please tell me.
There is nothing in the WinForms code saying that two controls can not have the same name. The reason you think that is that you're looking at it from the designer perspective, when you use the designer it won't let you have two controls with the same name just because it uses there as field names for them in the code, and as you probably know there can not be two fields / properties / variables with the same name in the same scope. As a matter of fact there is no need for the Control's Name property to be anything.

in C# with DotNet 4 i have a form with a combobox which is filled with values when starting the program.
Now user can dropdown and select one of the values.
But: It is also possible to write something new into the combobox-field.
Question: What can i do that it is NOT possible to write something which is not part of the list?
Thanks
To make the text portion of a ComboBox non-editable, set the DropDownStyle property to "DropDownList".
It can be done by simply assigning a property to combobox .DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList. but, this property do not allow to edit text. means you have to select item either by mouse or by up/down arrow key. You cannot filter result by selecting this property. if you wish to filter result but don't allow to accept invalid value then you can do this by writing some code in cmb_Validating event
private void cmb_Validating(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
{
if (cmb.SelectedValue == null && cmb.Text != string.Empty)
e.Cancel=true;
}
