• Windows Forms default IDE control font

  How do you set the default font for all development in Visual Studio 2005 (or V C# Express).  Currently, when I create a new form and place controls on it they always default to Microsoft Sans Serif, 8.25pt, I want tahoma, but don't want to have to constantly change it.  I have look all over but only see fint settings pertaining to the coding environ.   Thanks. There is no setting that allows you to change this. Control (which Form derives from) actually gets it default font from the static Control.DefaultFont property. Unfortunately, this font defaults to MS Sans Serif, instead o ...Show All

• .NET Development Limiting listening socket to a range of available port numbers

  I am very close to completing implementation of my FTPS server and client software. One final issue deals with firewalls and NAT. Under SSL the firewall does not provide the normal "assistance" to FTP command channel, such as tweaking NAT, and temporarily opening PASV data ports, which may otherwise be blocked. I have dealt with the NAT issue (each configured listen IP can have a configured "external" IP declared) but now the PORT issue is biting me. I have a couple of ideas. 1) I am thinking I could reserve a range of port numbers based on server configuration. The firewall admin would open those. Problem is I know how to listen o ...Show All

• Visual Basic Resource files...

  Why can't I access icons within the local resource file that is associated with my form There are icons in there that are being used with the BindingNavigator control, I can SEE them in there. But when I want to use those same images for another button, it doesn't see them. In fact, the only resource file that I can really browse (I'm setting the image property on a toolstrip item) is the one associated to the project. Each form has a resource file, and according to the image property dialog, I'm looking at the local resource unless I change it to look at the project resource, but for whatever reason I can't see all the images in the local ...Show All
