With Wings Like Eagles

Focuses on Air Marshal Dowding. Would have been better with more first person accounts

The Executioner’s Song

Mailer’s best work – IMHO.

Hide horizontal scrollbar in tablelayoutpanel

When populating a tablelayoutpanel dynamically, the horizontal scrollbar kept appearing, even though there was no need for it.

It looks like there is no property to disable only the horizontal scrollbar, but I did find this workaround.

Pad the layoutpanel to the width of the horizontal scroll bar and the scroll bar will disappear.


int vertScrollWidth = SystemInformation.VerticalScrollBarWidth;

tableLayoutPanel1.Padding = new Padding(0, 0, vertScrollWidth, 0);

The Graduate

A quick and fun read.

The Long Fall

Starts off strong, but tires in the later rounds. Mosley delivers for the most part.

The Lobster Coast

Well written and interesting. Good chapter on the origins of canning and lobster.
