• leovernazza Listview gridlines overwriting text in Details view - SP1

  Having installed SP1 of VS2005, I am now seeing gridlines over the centre of text when in Details List view when scrolling. Is there a patch or workaround yet It is extremely unlikely this is caused by SP1. The ListView control is implemented by Windows. Moreover, the framework wasn't updated.

• RussP Hosting the designer

  I don't know whether hosting the Windows Forms Designer is the best solution for me, but before I dive into the topic more deeply, I would like to get an overview of what is possible. The program I develop should be able to switch to some kind of design mode, so that specific controls (some buttons, a listbox) can be resized or moved around on the form by the user (The form itself should not be editable). I would like to know whether this is possible to implement by hosting the Windows Forms Designer. Another approach would be to implement some of the behaviour myself, although I'm not quite sure about the best way. Some thoughts: I could derive from the standard button and provide a design-time button that enables the editing functionalit ...Show All

• chakravarthy_b Movie Collection Kit - Need Help

  Hi I am brand new to C# and learning bits each day (or trying to!). I have started to basically understand how this movie collection works and need some assistance in the way this works online with Amazon. Is it possible to change where it gets its DVD info from Amazon.com to Amazon.co.uk And if so where/what do I need to change in the code/controls. Many Thanks Neil Yes, this can actually be done fairly easily. Using the Solution Explorer, open up the "Properties\Settings.settings" file, which specifies the default settings for the application. Change the Value of the AmazonLocale field from "EN" to "UK". That's all there is to it. It is probably well worth you ...Show All

  Recently I read an article on Designer Support by Net 2.0. ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/06/03/DesignerHosting/default.aspx ).

• Suman Ghosh Can I launch an installed ClickOnce App from a web link?

  I am currently deploying an application using ClickOnce that is marked as having to be installed, and it works great. But the one thing I would love to do is add a link on my website that would fire up the app on the user's computer if they already have it installed. And I would really, really love it if I could also pass in some parameters, maybe in the query string. I know you can do these things if the Click Once App is configured to run in the browser, but I think my app is too large for that to be successful long term. So is there any way to do these things with an installed ClickOnce app I tried adding a link to the .Application file. But when I click it after installing the app, I get the followin ...Show All
