• .NET Development How to call a web service without adding a web reference...

  Hi Guys, Hopefully this is a fairly simple one... I need to call a web service from a c# class without actually added a web reference to the project.

• Windows Forms Alter GridSize for DesignSurface

  I am attempting to modify the GridSize for a DesignSurface that I have created. Essentially I create the DesignSurface like so: //Create the design surface designSurface = new DesignSurface(typeof(DesignPanel)); Where DesignPanel inherits from a UserControl. So far I have tried getting a reference to the designerHost and adding an implementation (which didn't work): host = designSurface.GetService(typeof(IDesignerHost)) as IDesignerHost; host.AddService(typeof(DesignerOptionService), new WindowsDesignerOptionService()); The WindowsDesignerOptionService simply used the following code to try to get the desired effect: /// <summary> ...Show All
