I have a few questions which maybe a seasoned developer can help with:
1) MeasureString. Other than using antialiasing (one mode only) this function plain doesn't work. The antialiasing mode which does work is very unusable (especially on small pitch sizes). I tried the GenericTypographic solution and this does indeed improve the accuracy. However it is still not entirely accurate. Does anyone have a GDI code (maybe using DrawString) to perform the same function from either VB .NET or C# .NET?
2) Drawing into picture boxes (through a bitmap) also doesn't work 'as advertised'. Again, MeasureString does not work at all, and the font pitch size usually comes out wrong. Anyone know what the problem here is?
3) Does anyone know how to report a problem to Microsoft? I have searched through their web pages and found nothing helpful.
4) Does anyone know if the story about Delphi and .NET are true? Was the guy who pioneered .NET laid-off by accident from Delphi?
I develop using VS.NET Pro on a Windows2000 platform. Both .NET and Windows2000 are up-to-date on service patches.
