The bottom line is that the for...
Hi, I am designing a WPF user control which contains other user controls (imagine a WidgetContainer, containing different Widgets) - using M-V-VM architecture. During development, I have WidgetContainerView in a window, window (View) spawns a WidgetContainerViewModel as its resource, and in a parameterless constructor of WidgetContainer...
I'm creating a control with properties of type System.Net.IPAddress. The designer shows these as read-only, and seems to be matching them up with resources. Is there a way to make it so that the user can edit these properties in the designer properties window, rather than having to open up the resource editor? ...

I'm making a Component that will be used in a VS drag and drop designer. One of the properties on this component needs to be the pack URI of a file within the project.

I intend to create a form using Adobe Livecycle Designer 7.00 in which I want a field to flow as does a paragraph in a text editor. To be more specific, I have a text object before and after the text field which is contained in a subform. As there is some text before the text field, it naturally would not start from extreme left. Now w...
The primary reason for asking how to do this is because I personally never use it. The Designer is slow to load... especially on complex pages with lots of controls. To put it bluntly, I think of it as a crutch that web developers should avoid. I would like to encourage team members to avoid using it as well. If there is a way to do ...
Perhaps this is a stupid question, but for the life of me I cannot find a way to do this. How would one go about adding an event handler to a control in a form in Microsoft Visual Studio (2008) with C#? I can do it manually, but opening the Designer.cs file for the Form, but I cannot find a way to do it through the interface. In MSVC 6...

I am running visual studio 2008. Every so often when I go to the designer view of one of my forms, the designer will make the form slightly larger. This happens on forms where I have a minimum size. I want the form to be the minimum size so why does it keep adjusting the size on me? ...
I've made a custom control and overridden SetBoundsCore such that the height of the control is fixed. I'd like the designer to show the same sort of resize boxes as the NumericUpDown has - just one at each end - so that it's clear that the control has a fixed height. How do I tell the designer that my control has a fixed height? ...
This question is kind of anecdotical but still interesting to me; I was wondering why Visual Studio 2008 is not loving the following use of constants: public class Service101 : ServiceBase { /// <remarks> /// Shown at Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services /// </remarks> internal const str...
Hello! I'm wondering what would be the typical scenario for using an end-user report designer. What I'm thinking of is to have a base report with all the columns that I can have, also with a basic view of the report (formatting, order of columns, etc.) and then let the user to change that format and order, take out or add (from the avai...
Our designers create graphical mockups for new designs, create the initial html, css, and image sprites & maintain those files. After the initial hand-off, our developers work everything into .Net code, templates, etc. The problem: When our designers get tasked with designing or tweaking a feature, they can't work from their initial moc...
