• Windows Forms drag user controls to winform(VS2005)

  Hi: When I used vs2003, it works nicely that once a new user control created, it will show on toolbox and I can drag it into any winform, but in VS2005, it doesn't show in toolbox, and I even cannot drag it into any winform from soluction explorer, the only thing I can do is to right click toolbox and add the dll file of the control to toolbox, it is really annoying and inconveient, so any one can figure out the best way to drag user control like VS2003 into a winform Cheers HanJ srinivasintouch wrote: Hi, Do like this, Right click on toolbox, ---> choose items --->Browse --->select the dll of ur usercontrol, now it will added to ur toolbox.

• Windows Forms Closing a Modal Form that is Showing a MessageBox Form.Hide() works Form.Close() does not.

  I have a form that is shown using ShowDialog. The form is the UI for a long running process. The user may choose to cancel the application by pressing the form close button (red X) and at that time a Yes/No messagebox will appear. If the long running process completes while the messagebox is shown I wanted to close the messagebox and then the form. If the messagebox is not shown then the form Close method works. If the messagebox is shown then only the form Hide method will close the form. I am concerned that I am doing something wrong so I am looking for suggestions as to the correct method to employ . C# .Net 2.0 sample code that will demonstrate the issue is below, to get it to work change the this.Close to this.Hide. Start by creating ...Show All

• Visual Studio Permanent and Tempoary CommandBars

  Hi, I'm new to VS AddIn developement and have run into a problem. I'm trying to get my 'Command' to appear on the "Item" menubar of solution explorer. However, if I create a command in the OnConnection() method when the 'connectMode' is 'ext_cm_AfterStartup', i.e. it's a temporary AddIn, then the command's 'IsAvailable' property is set to false and nothing appears in the context menu. Alternatively, if I create the command when the 'connectMode' is " ext_cm_UISetup", i.e. it's a permanent AddIn, the command's 'IsAvailable' property is set to 'true' and everything works fine. Now, to be honest, I'm don't know whether the command's 'IsAvailable' property is anything to do with it but it seemed like it ought to. ...Show All
