Hi all, In ASP.NET you have something called "User Controls", which allow you to design a custom control which can be reused in the website. I am now starting developing a Windows application in .NET 2.0 and (surprisingly) I cannot find a similar functionality. What I would like to do is: - Create a new user control in the designer;...
I have multiple results sets coming back from a server request against a datasource. I want to organise these with a WinForms tabPage for each result set, on a single tabControl. I am displaying the data in a DataGridView, but want to avoid having a DataGridView instance on each tabPage - I'd rather intercept the "switching to new tab ...

My objective is to move visual elements drawn using methods of a Graphics object across a Form with no flicker or artifacting (in .NET 3.5). I can successfully achieve flickerless movement by either using automatic double buffering (setting the Form's DoubleBuffered property to true) or implementing a back-buffer myself. I am however s...
Apparently XamlWriter doesn't works correctly in a WinForms application. XamlWriter uses MarkupWriter.GetMarkupObjectFor(object obj). I suppose that there's a problem to determine the full list of properties to serialize. var ar = new AssemblyReference(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies().First()); var str = XamlWriter.Save(ar); Ru...
Hey Everyone, I will be working on a Time Management application very soon using Winforms and Access and was looking for some good resources on how to create a simple password protected application. I came from asp.net but have VERY little experience with Winforms. Are there and end to end tutorials for something like this? Thanks ever...
I've written the following (very simple) control for use in an application (comments removed for brevity): public partial class HorizontalRule : Control { public HorizontalRule() { InitializeComponent(); } protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e) { base.OnPaint(e); var g = e.Graphic...
Say I have a DataGridView (named dataGridView) that is displaying a Strongly Typed DataTable (named ChildDataTable). dataGridView has a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn (named parentIDColumn) that is bound to a Field Property ParentID on each ChildDataRow in ChildDataTable. ParentID is a foreign key that relates ChildDataTable to another Dat...
I've got a chunk of C# code that is supposed to set VerticalScroll.Value within a class that inherits from UserControl. It gets called when any child object of the class changes sizes. The class has its AutoScroll property set to true. public void ScrollTo(int top) { if (top >= this.VerticalScroll.Minimum && top <= thi...
I'm starting on a small windows forms project that makes extensive use of editable grids. I want to use Linq to Entities, but while it's trivial to bind a grid to the Linq query it's read-only. I couldn't figure out a good way to have an editable grid that auto-updates the database. (I hacked a work-around where I copy the data into a...
Been searching everywhere and can't find a way to do this. I have a menubar across the top of my winforms program. Now it just pops up a normal menuitem menu. I would like to disable that menu and popup a nice looking usercontrol that looks like its the dropdown for that menu item but includes much more customization. A good example wou...
I am using GDIView to try to track down the source of a few lingering GDI handles, and the source seems to be Fonts used in a menu on the form. The only way I've found to make sure the font handles are GCed is to explicitly set them to null like this: tsmiTextLocation.Font = null; tsmiLocationSelection.Font = null; This doesn't seem ...
Hi all, Here's my old code from WinForms: private void ValueChanged(double inValue1, double inValue2) { //only manual mode for this driver, so that's easy. if (ValueLabel.InvokeRequired) { ValueLabel.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate { ValueLabel.Text = (inValue1* inValue2/ 1000).ToString...
I've been reading lots on how to trigger an application from inside a C# program (Process.Start()), but I haven t been able to find any information on how to have this new application run within a panel of my C# program. For example, I'd like a button click to open a notepad.exe WITHIN my application, not externally. Thanks. ...
I'm experiencing an issue with GDI+ while custom painting dashed rectangles. The vertical portion of dashed rectangles appear as solid, continuous lines when the window size is increased or when scrolling up/down. Moving the mouse faster results in fewer and fewer solid sections. Curiously the horizontal lines do not exhibit this be...
How do I check if the user clicked with a mouse or with a pen stylus on a C# control. For eg. If the user clicks a text box with a pen button then I want an input panel to pop up but if he clicks with a mouse then it shouldn't. So how do I check whether he was using a mouse or a pen? Edit: Using Windows Forms not WPF ...
I am receiving a keystroke in a Form object's OnKeyDown. When some conditions are met (such as the keystroke is a printable character and not a hotkey) I want to forward the key to a text control on the form and set focus to the text control so the user can continue typing. I am able to decode the character typed using MapVirtualKey but ...

The default behavior of property BackColor of a TextBox is as follows: when enabled, it is White (SystemColors.Window), when disabled it is Gray (not sure what SystemColor this is). If I change the BackColor property, the same color is used for both Enabled and Disabled. How do I reset the BackColor property (after it has been changed ...
