Hello, I've been writing some small maintenance/viewer tools that each connect to a SQLServer (2005) database via System.Data.SqlClient classes. (C# - .NET 3.5 - Windows.Forms) For each of these tools I had to write the UI and dialog to let the user choose the right db and server: I connect to my test-db, my colleague uses my tools to...

I would like to embed the FontDialog control into a settings dialog box for my C# WinForms application, but if I drag the control over it, of course, just adds it to the list of Dialog controls at the bottom of the designer. But instead of opening a separate dialog, I would like it to just be part of the settings dialog I already have.....

Note - this would be different than say DataTable.Search() as the # of...
We are developing/mantaining an enterprise application which for historical reasons and development speedup it was targered for WinForms. Now we are thinking that sooner or later (more sooner than later) that application will need to be Web based. Thinking on the "to-Web" movement. Which are the most important things we have to consid...

When that Gecko rendering engine navigates to some Flash control, suddenly ~2% of our key presses don't get t...

I don't want this to occur as to when an item is selected an event fires and some code is executed.

I have a Windows Form with a default size of 1100 x 400, and I have a DataGridView control on it anchored to Top, Left, Bottom, Right. Resizing the form on a screen with resolution higher than 1100 x 400 works fine, and the anchoring works well, resizing the DataGridView control as expected. When I launch the form on a screen with res...
I have an application where the System.Windows.Forms.ColorDialog dialog box is used as a color picker. Is there anyway that I can either (1) save the swatches the user saves in the "Custom Colors" section of this dialog or (2) create a standard set of swatches that all users would see when they open the color picker? ...
I have a WinForms TabControl that I am dynamically adding TabPages to at runtime. Each TabPage contains a WebBrowser control. I also have the ability to remove the TabPages at runtime. Should I bother Dispose()ing the TabPage and/or WebBrowser controls? It seems to me I should at least Dispose() the WebBrowser control since it is a bit...
I created a form that overlays on top of another form in an alpha blended state. This works great on my laptop but I just transferred the program to a computer at work and the form is a solid colour. This is probably a completely obvious question but are there graphics card requirements or colour depth requirements for alpha blending, I ...
I have a DataGridView where one of the columns is a DataGridViewComboBoxColumn. When the grid is populated, that column looks different because of the drop-down arrow appearing on each cell in the column. I'd like to change this so that the drop-down arrow is hidden and only shows up when the row is actually highlighted or when the combo...
I have a winform program that uses Merge Replication to keep a local SQL Express sync'd with a Central SQL Server on our network. Due to the nature of this app the sync process runs automatically on App open and close. The way I am doing it (below) seems quite time consuming. What would be a faster way? Thinking outside the box it...
