| This application gives you a picture of how to use .NET's TrayIcon class. With the introduction of this class in .NET, no need to call Shell_NotifyIcon Win32 API and TrackPopMenu() and DestroyMenu() APIs. Designing of your icon, creating context menu, adding event handlers are all done during design time itself. |

| In Part 2 we have three distinct goals: 1. Create a database to store our tasks and provide stored procedures to retrieve them. 2.Export our tasks as XML so they can be used by outside applications (such as our TaskChecker application). 3. Provide a new method in our Web Service that will allow us to mark our tasks as Received |

| Creating a custom DataGridColumnStyle in C# |
| C#Today |
| The .NET framework provides many unique controls like the DataGrid, which is a data bound list control that displays the items from a data source in a table. The DataGrid is the most powerful and flexible control in the .NET toolbox. In this article, Chad DePue takes a look at one aspect of the DataGrids flexibility, by creating a custom column. The DataGrid provides two types of columns for free, the DataGridTextBoxColumn and the DataGridBoolColumn, but there are many types of data that wont fit into either of these two column types. In the example given, we want to search a directory for icon (.ICO) files and display each icon as a row in the DataGrid. Neither of the existing column styles will do this for us, so we create our own. |

| Displaying a NotifyIcon's Balloon ToolTip |
| The Code Project |
| This article shows one approach to displaying a balloon tooltip for a notify icon created using the FCL's NotifyIcon class. This relatively new feature of notify icons is not supported by the NotifyIcon class and adding this feature to my own code was not immediately obvious without some creative coding. This is why I am presenting it here. The other reason is that I am hoping somebody can tell me that I'm doing it all wrong and that there is a much more 'correct' solution. |

| Gmail Tray Alert |
| GotDotNet |
| A really simple (and stupid) application that sits in the system tray and alerts you when you have a new Gmail message. It leverages the fact that the browser title changes when a new message arrives and the fact that google's JavaScript packet automatically checks for new messages periodically. It's not as sophisticated as google's own gmail-helper, but I work in an office where HTTP access to gmail is blocked, but HTTPS isn't, so this app connects to Gmail via HTTPS. NOTE: Uses Hans Blomme's NotifyIcon control to use |
