  I've been testing the capabilities of the VS Beta 2 Debugger for device projects.  Thus far I've been happy with the improvements.

Can someone let me know whether this should work in Beta 2, and if so, what I might be doing wrong   See ...Show All

• Windows Forms Interaction between Anchor and Dockstyle on TabPages - Autoscroll doesn't work

  I have a WinForm application that uses a set of UserControls on TabPages. The user controls have different minimum sizes, and I want scroll bars to appear when the TabPage that the control is on is smaller then the minimum size. The UserControls are anchored on the TabPage, so they will grow and shrink with the TabPage. It seems like the Autoscroll property is what I want to use, but I can't get it to work. I've tried using different combinati ...Show All

I have tried setting these controls to public access, but that ...Show All

• Windows Forms differences between onPaint in VS2003 and VS2005

  Hi, I have done my own docking panel that collapses and expands on the MouseLeave and MouseHover events. It works just fine under VS2003. However it doesn't work on VS2005. It expands but it is not drawn properly, and then when I click on the nodes of treeview contained by the panel, the treeview gets erased! I assume there is a painting issue there...
