• Windows Forms App.config and comments...

  I would like to embed comments in my app.config file.  However, it seems that VS 2005 Beta 2 wants to only let you modify the app.config file via the Project settings.  If I use the Project.settings to modify values in app.config, any comments that I have manually added are removed.  Is there any way to prevent this from happening   Or, how about letting me maintain the app.config file manually instead of using Project.settin ...Show All

• Visual Basic Invoking DateTimePicker Programmatically

  I have a TextBox and a DateTimePicker next to each other on a form. Whenever the user changes the date in the DateTimePicker, I make it show in the TextBox and when they change it in the TextBox, I change it in the DateTimePicker too. I know this is redundant as the DateTimePicker displays the date in its own TextBox, but that's beside the point - this is just a small aspect of a bigger problem. Anyway, what I would like to do is have the ...Show All
