C# and WPF: Programmatic Control

I'm learning WPF, and seem to have found something a little odd, which I can't find the reason to anywhere I've searched. I have a window with one checkbox on it called "chkTest".

ASP.NET MVC doesn't work with ViewState and Postback?

Perhaps this is a naive question. In my understanding, ASP.NET cannot work with ViewState and Postback which is fundamentals of ASP.NET forms. Is that correct? If that's it, then all ASP.NET Web Controls depending on ViewState & Postback cannot be used in ASP.NET MVC, right? ...

Why will <%= %> expressions as property values on a server-controls lead to a compile errors?

This question is a result of what i noticed while trying to answer another question.

WPF - Maximizing app window does not expand controls vertically - horizontally it does

when I press the Maximize button on my WPF app, all the controls therein expand perfectly horizontally, but they do not expand to fill the window vertically. I figure it Maximize handles it horizontally, it should handle it vertically as well. Should I be setting a property somewhere on each control? I can catch the Resize event, but ...

Visual C++ 2005: How do I access Win32 form control values in a .cpp file?

I've recently started poking around in Visual Studio 2005, and I'm mucking about in Visual C++. When I double click on a control in the designer, it opens the .h file, which I've understood to be for prototype declarations, and if I put all the guts to the functions in there, I can get my program to work, but I don't like having the cod...

Form designer inconsistent in control display style for updated project

I've got a project that I started in Turbo Delphi, which I recently updated to D2009, and I've noticed a bit of a quirk in the form designer. All the old forms have a Win98 style applied to them.

I am using a Panel's paint event to display a really long diagram. I've run into the problem of .net controls size (height and width) are silently limited to a signed 16 bit integer (32,767).
