I am writing a custom composite WebControl and want to expose styles of child controls it encapsulates to the ASP.NET designer. The code I currently have is similar to the skeleton below (which for simplicity only has one child control). With the code below, I can see property "ChildPanelStyle" in the designer, but when I try to modify...
The form designer in Visual Studio is giving me fits and I'm hoping someone can at least point out what's going on. The latest incarnation involved a tab sheet with some controls on each of the sheets. Sheets #2 and #3 were done and I was working on #1--when suddenly two controls on sheet #2 vanished in the running program. Some hunti...
When I create a new form under a sub-folder in VS2008 in a C++/CLI Winforms project, the .h and .cpp are correctly created under the sub-folder. However, when the form is opened in the designer and the title is changed, I get an error message saying that the .resx (AWOL till this particular moment) is already part of the project. One can...

Happy friday folks, awesome. I am currently writing a small tooltip mimicking control to display inline help in an application. I was going to just use standard tooltips but decided that I potentially wanted interactivity. I have it working no problem.

I have a situation where some of the control's string property values are automatically replaced with a variable from a resource (.resx) file in the designer file during design time. For example, I have a form that contains a combobox. A snapshot of the code in the designer file may look something like this: this.comboDocument.Name = "...

I have to develop a specialised report editor in Java. The user will get a number of fields that can be layed out on a page plus some graphical elements. The resulting report design needs to be serialized into already defined database tables. The actual generation of the report onto paper is already done. I need to provide only a graphi...
Here's a strange one. After renaming a class, one of my forms began giving me errors in the designer, refusing to open. Funny thing is, the form worked just fine when I ran the program. I began reverting my changes to deduce the problem. I have now reverted completely back to the last commit - in which I know the form was working in ...

This may not be the kind of question one should ask on StackOverflow, but here's a frustration that I've been trying to find a work-around for. When using the form designer, suppose the entire form does not fit in the space allotted to the form designer, and I have a control say, down near the bottom of the form. If I try to re-size th...

How can I switch it back? ...
