• Visual Studio connections restrictions between shapes fail

  hi, i want to restrict the connections between two shapes. I did this by using public override bool CanCreateConnection( ShapeElement sourceShape, ShapeElement targetShape, ref string connectionWarning) for the accordant connector class. e.g there is ShapeA & ShapeB. The problem is, that i can connect ShapeA with ShapeB, if i move the mouse over the "text decoration" of ShapeB although this is forbidden by the conncetor restriction. The restriction works fine, when i move over the shape area of ShapeB and not the "text decoration" of ShapeB. How can i define restrictions for the whole shape, includin ...Show All

• Windows Forms Adding new rows to DataGridView does not follow sort order

  Hi! I have a datagridview in which I add rows using the rows.add method. Grid is not bound to any datasource. The problem I have is that newly added rows are always added at the bottom of the grid, ignoring the selected sort order. Do I miss anything I wouldn't like to call .sort method again, since my grid may contain a lot of data and rows might be added every few milliseconds. Awesome.
