• Visual C# Subclassing controls

  I want to modify the bahavior of a standard control by changing some of the methods. I know I can do this by subclassing the control. However, it seems like I need to create a new control as a seperate project and reference the created dll in my main project. This seems like a lot of work for a simple task; what I'd really like to do is have everything in the same project (although not the same file). What I'm used to in Visual C++ is to use th ...Show All

• Visual C# Out of Memory?

  When using my application I seem to get an Out of Memory error at random. I cannot find any common "action" that leads to this. additionally it occurs more frequently when the application is either minimized for more then 5 minutes or is a background window (not the active application) for more then 3-5 minutes. It doesn't happen all the time. I seem to only get it once a week at most. It does not seem to occur when the application is ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions Let's go to work on an FAQ for this Forum

    The concerted work that goes on here in really impressive. I'm also thinking about a mass mailed note I received from S. Somesegar, corporate VP of Microsoft development. He said that MS Engineers were not alone in building VS2005. Customers had a lot  to do with it to make it as neat as it is. Continuing in that vein, I though it may be a contribution to see if we can't put together an FAQ that will take care o ...Show All
