Hi, We are about to start up a new project similar to a previous one. I could just copy the old design but I am not all too satisified with the old design. It is a "standard" business system (sales,stocktaking,warehousing etc) built ontop of .Net 3.5 (Winforms MDI) with Entity Framework in the backend. All forms inherit from a basefo...
Hi, I need to display a set of Icons on a windows form and move them around at run-time. I have used the PictureBox control to display the icons but I would have to either not change the picturebox.SizeMode to Stretched, which results in very small icons, Or they would look blurred and horrible at run-time even though they are high quali...
In a three-tier model (presentation-business-data access layers), I can consistently keep my lower layers agnostic of the upper layers. For example my data access layer never knows how it is presented or what busines rules are operated on it. My business rules are agnostic of how they're presented. But I must pray to Demeter for forgiv...

I was wondering if there are any ot...

I need to get DataGridView column sizes without showing the the grid (for printing). I'm using data binding through DataSource (using BindingSource doesn't seem to work too).

I can't get scrolling working in my custom control. Currently it draws it's own content (at the moment just grid) and should be treated as having a large area to work in. However, I can't get scrolling to work. With AutoScroll on, I can't get it to start of at the center of the workable area. With AutoScroll off, I can't get the valu...

I wish to better automate this process so that the user can do oth...

My WinForms application has the standard Aero glass appearance on Vista/Windows 7. I want to custom draw the window title bar so it retains the Aero glass appearance with the glass min/max/close buttons but without the title text and window icon. I have tried this by overriding WM_NCPAINT but overriding this event always causes the gla...
I have an application that uses DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea to draw a glass effect area at the top of my .NET Form. A strange side effect is that when you maximize and restore the window it grows taller. So if you keep maximizing/restoring it just keeps getting taller! Remove the call to DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea to remove that nice ...
