Tip: Running Windows Environment Variables Manager on Vista

To use EnvMan under Vista it should be run with an Administrator privileges. To make it run as Administrator by default open properties of the EnvMan.exe or a shortcut to it.

Select compatibility tab and check "Run this program as an Administrator" check box.

If you want to apply this setting to all users click on "Show settings for all users button" and check "Run this program as an Administrator" check box.

Click OK on every dialog. Now EnvMan.exe will have all the rights to save environment variables. This applies to all versions of the EnvMan.

Variable Import/Export

The only restriction is that you cannot import values from the different variable. If variable name does not match it will not import and will display a message. It is also possible to create new variables using import. Open new variable by clicking "New" on the Main Form and use import button to import values from selected ENV file. Name of the variable will be loaded as well.

All imported values will have a "+" sign on their type icons.

If command used on the non-path value then message will be displayed that no valid paths can be selected.

Tip: Working with generic SortedList in revers order

It was very interesting, but I could not find any information on how to work with lists like Generic SortedList<> in revers order. In the end all turned out very simple. You need to get a IList<> of keys and use for loop in descending order through that list. Below is a code snippet.

SortedList<int,DgvRowInfo> rowInfoList = null;
...
DgvRowInfo rowInfo;
// walk through the list in revers order
IList<int> keyList = rowInfoList.Keys;
for (int i = keyList.Count - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
rowInfo = rowInfoList[keyList[i]];
dgvHandler.MoveRow(rowInfo.CurrentRowIndex, rowInfo.NewRowIndex);
}
