Whenever we load a VB project it will call initialize method of a User Control ( if there is any in the project). My problem is that is that I have some code in UserControl.initialize that will try to create instances of other COM objects. And on my build machine those controls are not registered. One option is to move the code to some o...
I have a menu that used to be a treeview control but now I want to make each item a bit more visual and add some more information to each object in the tree. My first intention was to make a user control that represents an item and add them to a panel at runtime. Is this a good aproach? There could sometimes be over one hundred items. I...

Also on the same page there is an UpdatePanel, which has an AsyncPostBackTrigger that is conditional on only one of these events; however, an asynchronous postback occurs when either of the events in the user control occur. Is there a...

Hi, I've put together a simple form to highlight the concepts of dynamic forms. What I need to do is add a control to the page when the user clicks the "Add" button. I have a simple counter at the moment that stores the amount of controls created, which is incremented when the button is clicked. At first I thought it would be as simp...

When you put such user control in a main window, let's say Main.xaml, the MouseLeftButtonDown doesn't work, but the PreviewMouseLeftButtonDown works like a charm. But imagine yourself tellin...
