• Windows Forms How to view XML in WebBrowser control using the DocumentText property?

  Hi, (This is on .NET 2.0)  The only way I managed to show XML in the webbrowser control was to write the xml contents to a file and then use "Navigate(...)" to open the file.

But that did not work... (nothing is displayed, although using the context menu to view the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Capturing ReportViewer Rendering Output

  I am trying to come up with a work-around for the localreport class not allowing to export reports in HTML format.  I have pretty strict requirements which is mostly why I am trying to put together such an convoluted work-around.  I am not allowed to list IIS as a requirement (Cassini is fine though).  That rules out using Reporting Services for SQL Server which is what I was originally going to use. Anyway, my idea is to create a ...Show All

• Windows Forms Windows Forms tip: use Spy++!

  I wanted to share a great little tip with all of you on how to debunk the inner workings of Windows controls. While .NET Windows Forms is a great library that makes creating forms very easy, there are limits to what you can do with Windows Forms. Luckily, it is just a wrapper around ancient technology, and we can still have a lot more control over the controls than you might think at first glance. Windows messages are still in the core of the . ...Show All
