• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Creating a button toggle animation (why are animations unable to be modified in WPF?)

• Windows Forms binding does not work if the control is not displayed

  Suppose: * I have a class Name with two properties: FirstName , LastName . Both string. * I have a form with one TabControl with 2 TabPages, with one TextBox on each TabPage . * I bind an instance of the Name class on the Form's Load event.
