• Windows Forms Designing a WinForms application.

  Such an embarrasing question, but i've been working in ASP.NET for so long that i've lost grasp with Forms design architecture. I'm designing an application using WinForms 2.0. The screen for the application will keep the same structure throught the App. For example, a user will create a new customer. Then he might want to create a new employee, so will click the "employee" button. This won't fire up a new employee form, but will display the employee screen on the mainform where the customer screen was just showing....a bit like having a Tab Control in the centre of a form and having an Employee Tab and a Customer Tab. Then buttons to the le ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do you guys work with VS.NET like this? CONTSANT DESIGNER ISSUE??

  Nearly EVER TIME I open a form, the designer is unable to load the form with weird & mysetrious errors (see sample errors below). How is anyone supposed to develop like this To try and resolve the problem, I have to try any of these: 1) Close the form and open it again 2) Close form, recompile solution, open form 3) Close visual studio and open up project again Again, this is 80% of the time I try and open up a form inside Visual Studio 2005 by double click the form (even right after a successful build). I am not exaggerating. This has brought our teams productivity to a near stand still and is completely frustrating. What are we doing w ...Show All

• .NET Development Best Place To Locate Connection String and Other Initial Information?

  New guy here...thanks for your patience ... I have a console application I'm building w/ .Net 2.0, C# and SQL Server. When the application starts I would like it gather some "initialization" information.  Maybe a couple of items like its name, log file location, etc.  I definately need a way to provide it w/ a Connection String so it can log in to a named SQL Server with either WAM or a user id/password.  I'm familiar with the idea of using a config file for my application.  I've seen the .Net 2.0 stuff on AppSettingsReader and other items.  I'm wondering what's the preferred practice to store a ...Show All

• Smart Device Development TextBox Readonly gray background

  (Using Compact 1.1) When setting a textbox to readonly the background becomes gray. How can I avoid this Is there a neat trick I can use I tried creating a class and subclassing TextBox and overriding OnPaint but this does not work on 1.1. Are there any other options I also tried setting the control readonly to false and enable to false but then the font is gray.

• Visual Studio Team System Problems with Branching

  We are running Beta 3 Refresh and are having problems branching (which worked ok in Beta 2). I created a new folder and then clicked on my main folder (with multiple sub-folders underneath) and clicked Branch. I then choose to put the branch in my new directory I created. It then states: "Preparing to Branch..." and sits there for over 1/2 and never does anything. I then clicked "Cancel" and it sits there for another 30-45 minutes saying "Canceling..." and then I receive an error that states: "Visual Studio Team System Command Canceled". You can only click ok, which then brings up: "Error Command Canceled" I was able to successfully branch a ...Show All
