  Now I know all about Controls.Add, but I'm having problems adding a control that's supposed to dock as fill. My form looks like this: Nav Bar docked on the left, Splitter docked on the left, and then I want to add my custom control as fill, so that it would be located to the right of the nav bar, as expected.

• Arul Ram Validation Philosophy

  I am working with a Winform in VS 2005. I have been reading some books lately that say that using the error provider and checking it when you save or exit a form is a better, (less intrusive) way of doing validation than putting up dialog boxes. I see the wisdom to it but I wonder what should happen when you have many records in a form That is, lets say I have a winform with the Standard menu and toolbar on it that VS creates automatically, b ...Show All

• mech55 No intellisense with nullable enum values?!

  One of nice new things in C# 2.0 is that, as in VB, variables of type enum automatically have there enum values displayed by Intellisense. This is great! However, when the enumeration is nullable, this isn't working anymore. Ok, I can understand that of course the value "null" is also correct in this case, but it should be nice still that the enum values are shown in the intellisense, maybe even with the option null. Is this by d ...Show All

• Xavier Divini VS.NET 2005 RC1 -- Is clipboard ring missing from IDE?

  It used to be one of my favorite features! Formerly, from the C# (for example) code editor in the IDE, open the 'Tool Box' tab, and there was a stack of all the things you'd put on the clipboard while editing.  I can't seem to figure out where it went too...hopefully not the bit bucket... TIA, Howard Hoffman That's pity that Clipboard ring is not visible in VS 2005. Why the convinient functionalit ...Show All
