• Windows Forms UserControl default design time settings?

  I've created a UserControl for use in my form that has numerous properties. One of the properties is of a custom reference type that I've made. Now, whenever I put this UserControl into a form, it sets a silly value for that reference type property, to the effect of: this.testUserControl1.MyProperty = ((MyPropertyType)(resources.GetObject("testUserControl1.MyProperty"))); Now, the net effect of this is that the designer ends up complai ...Show All

• .NET Development How is performance affected by calling a 1.1 assembly from 2.0 service?

  When / how frequently does the 1.1 runtime have to load Surely not with each call to the service As of today, only one version of the runtime is loaded per process, no matter which versions of assemblies are later requested. So, if the v2 CLR is already loaded, it will successfully load a v1 assembly and run it against the v2 CLR (not the v1 CLR) without reloading the already-loaded v2 CLR .dlls. While we'r ...Show All

  How I can set Application level font,that works for all content elements event for Control.Templates Thanks. I'm afraid this is not possible. You need to specify a font either explicitly or via styles for every element. I would advise against doing this as you will prevent users of your application to adjust fonts to match their system theme or more importantly for accessibility. -- Ifeanyi Echeruo [MSFT] ...Show All
