Hey all, I need some advice on this... We have certain permissions setup in the database for certain levels of control a user can have over the application. Disabled, ReadOnly and Edit. My question is: Are there more generic/better ways to handle permissions applied to a form element on the page than writing a security method/check pe...
We have a bunch of different applications that basically do the same thing written using the Wizard Control for .Net 2.0. At this point there are roughly 10 or so of those applications. The steps are pretty simple: User selects option from a drop downs -> Next page has more options more narrowed -> User sees confirmation page -> Rep...
I have a bunch of controls on my window. One of them is a refresh button that performs a cumbersome task on a background thread. When the user clicks the refresh button, I put the cursor in a wait (hourglass) status and disable the whole window -- Me.IsEnabled = False. I'd like to support cancellation of the refresh action by letting ...
pretty much what the title says. I am using an Ajax Drop Down as illustrated here: http://www.asp.net/AJAX/AjaxControlToolkit/Samples/DropDown/DropDown.aspx using linkbuttons ... is there a way to limit to list? Thank you. Edit: I think it was VB 6 maybe that you could select "LimitToList" in a drop down. Meaning the user can only...
Something is eluding me ... it seems obvious, but I can't quite figure it out. I want to add/remove a couple of HTML controls to a page (plain old html) when a user changes value of a dropdown list. An example is to add or remove a "number of guests in this room" textbox for each (of a number) of rooms requested ... So if a user sele...

How would you render a tag cloud within a .NET 2.0+ WinForm application? One solution that I am thinking of would be using the WebBrowser control and generating to some ad-hoc HTML, but that seems to be a pretty heavy solution. Am I missing something more simple? ...
Hi, I need to implement the classic Factory Method pattern in ASP.NET to create server controls dynamically. The only way I've found to create .ascx controls is to use the LoadControl method of the Page/UserControl classes. I find it messy however to link my factory with a page or to pass a page parameter to the factory. Does anybody ...
I am having a peculiar problem with the order in which FlowLayoutPanels are added in to the form's controls property. This is what I tried, I added 7 FlowLayoutPanels in to a C# window application from left to right in vertical strips. Then I tagged the flow layouts as 1, 2, 3, ... 7 again from left to right. Now in the load handler of ...
I'm building a class that automatically loads a DB record, looks at each DB column name, and fills the associated textbox/label/literal/etc, if it has the same name. I got this idea from Rails, in case that helps clarify what I'm trying to do. public string presentData(Page thisForm) { // .. for each column name // ... thisForm.FindCon...

I want to get Visual Studio style tabs (you know, the ones where you can tab through the currently opened files). Is there a 3rd party component that does this? How hard would it be to do myself? ...

How would I go about doing that? pnlOverheadDetails is the panel name pnlOverheadDetails.Controls.Add(lnkCalcOverhead); The control named lnkCalcOverhead is the control I'd like to float. Thanks in advance EDIT: B...
This is a bit of a strange one, but I've been struggling for a few hours now and I can't understand what is happening. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem, and can perhaps explain it. I'm building a simple Winforms app and trying to use many of the built in controls. Basically, I've got a form with a user contr...
I'm attempting to create a Wizard type control in VB6 and have run into a stumbling block. I'd like to allow users of the control to be able to add and manage CWizardPage(s) to the design time control using a property page. The first approach I used was to add the Wizard pages to the OCX directly using a Collection, however I ran into ...

In the helpfile entry for TDBComboBox, it says that the text of the selected option becomes the new value for the field. Is there any similar control that goes by ItemIndex instead of text? (To represent an enumerated type, for example.) ...
Good morning, I am working on a C# winform application that is using validation for the controls. The issue I'm having is that when a user clicks into a textbox and attempts to click out, the validation fires and re-focuses the control, basically the user cannot click out of the control to another control. My desired result is to have ...
