• Visual C# Having a container in a usercontrol receive control placements...

  I have a graphical usercontrol that draws custom borders, and I need to allow docking, so my solution was to create a secondary panel within the usercontrol that was sized appropriately based on the border that controls could be dragged within during design time. The problem is I just can't get this working.  I tried overriding the ControlCreate/Add functions and setting the .Parent, but no go. How can I have a container within my user control serve as the main container for all controls that are dumped into it Thanks! Moogy - A better place to post this type of issue would be on the Windows Forms forums.  They can be found h ...Show All

• Visual Studio ToolboxItem attribute not honored by AutoToolboxService in VS 2005

  The service that automatically creates toolbox items is not using the correct class: it ignores the ToolboxItemAttribute on the component that specifies which ToolboxItem-derived class to use, and instead creates a ToolboxManagerToolboxItem. The result is a bunch of unusable Toolbox items. We have already logic to populate the toolbox with a correct ToolboxItem whenever the designed class is opened in our graphical root designer. So we have good toolbox items placed there, in that circumstance. What we need: How to disable the AutoToolboxService for a Type If there is no way to disable it, how to get it to honor the ToolboxI ...Show All

  Hi. I am almost wrapping up a project of my own and I will have the option to restore the database, so dropping the existing one and then running the SQL script to create the database, tables, stored procedures and so on.

How can I forcefully make it NOT in use, drop it and do other things I like t ...Show All
