Rotate view of PDF on a WinForm
I have to display a PDF inside a winform (c# on .net 2.0 framework). For now, I am using the ActiveX PDF control provided by Adobe.

[WinForms] How to determine which control is eating my keyboard events
In my .Net app, I keep running into the issue of a particular form/control which I expected to receive a keyboard event does not actually receive it.

Center title bar caption of Syncfusion WinForms ribbon form?
Is there a way to center-align the text in a WinForms form? Also known as the title bar caption or title bar text? So far the only way I can see to do it is pad the string with spaces.

How to detect when a Form is being dragged?
I have a Form object with a title bar displayed. I need a pure managed way(P/Invoke-free, both Mono and .NET compatible, preferrably a .NET 2.0 API) to detect when the FORM itself starts being dragged, changes location and when it is dropped(not any content). I did this in the past in Mono but I don't remember how anymore and I don't k...

Suppress backspace, delete keys in MaskedTextbox
The question is simple: how to do it? I've a couple of MaskedTextboxes which are filled by some indirect user actions (so not by typing in values directly). The text within the textboxes is colored red when the input is being rejected by the mask. Fine so far. However, I don't want the end-user to be able to edit the boxes directly. So,...

How can I allow selected rows in a DataGridView (DGV) to be moved up or down. I have done this before with a ListView. Unfortunetly, for me, replacing the DGV is not an option (curses).
