  VS 2k5, 2.0.50727. Using a PropertyGrid to try and edit an object that has a collection of strings. I'm trying to get this to work, but I'm having absolutely no luck. There's tons of people who are having the same problem, and most questions are answered with the same solution; however this solution does not work for me. I've created a sample program that replicates the error. To get this error, create a Windows Form app in C#. Add the following class to the project : public sealed class StringCollectionFailure { private StringCollection fail = new StringCollection (); private string name = string . Empty; public string Name { get { return name; } set { name = value ; } } public St ...Show All

• yeshman Automatic update works when turned off

  Hi, I'd like to check for and download updates programmatically. I've turned automatic updates off, and everything works as expected besides one scenario. If I check for updates manually (call CheckForUpdateAsync), find that there is new version available, but do nothing, next time user starts the application, automatic update occurs.

• Bert Lefever Primary key contain was changed

  I've another problem..... I've connect to a oracle database using data source wizard and bound to Data grid View( in Visual Studio 2005, VB) , and of course it adds a adapter, dataset, binding source and binding navigator automatically. It's now can be updated the table by clicking the binding navigator icon. But when I add new row and input ID field...example "05" or "A001", then save it.

• SShor Coloring TabControl.

  As far as I can see TabControl object has no properties of either Back or ForeColor. Is it possible to assign these properties to this object Another question: TabPage object does have both properties but when you assign a color to it it does not cover the whole TabPage: the tab itself remains gray. Is it possible to give it colors Many thanks. nahguam wrote: Control does have a BackColor property: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control_members.aspx Having said all that I don't think the benefit of being able to change the tab color outweighs the work involved... That's what I am too afraid is the case as well. I greatly appreciate your comments. I will look into the details ...Show All

• soanfu DesignSurface creates controls offset from mouse pointer

  I'm using a DesignSurface to create controls from my toolbox. I want the controls to be created exactly where the mouse cursor is when I drop them, i.e. the Location property of the newly created control should be exactly where the mouse cursor is. How can I accomplish this It seems that the DesignSurface creates the View at 15, 15 and so the controls that are being created do not take this into account. I simply create a DesignSurface and load a UserControl derived control, then add the View of the DesignSurface to a panel control in my app. If I break when that UserControl is being created the Location will show up as 15, 15. That's fine (the offset looks nice in the panel), but when I drop a ToolBoxItem I'm dragging, and say I try to l ...Show All

• No-spam Sam Newbie C# Programming Question - Alarm Clock Program

  Bear with me here, I'm very new to this .... Hello I'm brand new here trying to learn C#. I spent many hours trying to write a small Windows application alarm clock program.
