Recently I had issues with Windows Vista where it would get on a network, but would only have local access (i.e. “Access: Local only” in the Network and Sharing Center).

This article summarizes the steps for quickly fixing this.
Unfortunately, there are too many complaints about Windows Vista. Personally, I think that Windows Vista is a pretty good OS. This article tries to explain Windows Vista and put it in an unbiased context. Additionally, one of my goals is to make this transition easier for the users, so, I will be explaining how to get things to work until either Microsoft or other software vendors have had a chance to officially fix them.
There are numerous articles online that show how to use the ListView control in C# but, unfortunately, you won’t find any that explain how to show the user which column you are actually sorting on. This article explains how to display a sorting icon in the ListView column header using Visual C# .NET. You you can easily port the concepts explained here to other .NET languages like Visual Basic .NET.
