Currently, I manually add my special initialization method to the form and call it after InitializeComponent(). After making changes on the form I always have to check my init method and eventually change it according to the new form layout.

I'm at the point now where I've been told these machines have .NET 2.0. I plan on trying to verify soon, but I thought I'd get everyone's ...Show All
