hockblogs.net — Hi there, I'm currently working on a Visual Studio .NET 2005 Winforms project, where i've got multiple forms which have a DataGridView on it. So I decided, for maintenance sake, that I had to create a baseform, since alle the forms really must look-a-like. In the baseform I've set the modifier of the, to be inherited, control to public or protected. Nice job you would think! But guess again, cause visual inheritance on 2.0 controls, that can hold a collection, like the DataGridView is not possible. So you can throw away all your good meanings and efforts! This is what Microsoft has to say about it: "We disabled this scenario intentionally. We chose to not make the engineering effort it would have required to enable this scenario for Whidbey. This decision was not make lightly and we understand customers would like this functionality, but the existing visual inheritance architecture in combination with collection based controls makes it extremely costly to address. We hope to enable this in future versions". read more...

weblogs.asp.net — I though I would share a native Win32 splash solution with you on this rainy night in June (well, it is June here and it is raining from where I am, YMMV). This is slightly different from your typical splash screen as it’s done using the Win32 API calls and it’s fired off before the .NET Forms engine even gets started. As a result it’s quick and snappy and doesn’t intrude on your normal WinForms programming. read more...

tellingmachine.com — The tool that I am presenting here renames batches of files that have some kind of numerical index as part of their file name. It can rename the text before the index, it can shift the index numbers, give the files a new extension and add or remove leading zeros to and from the numerical index part of the file name. It uses Regular Extensions to parse the file names. read more...

atalasoft.com — If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and waddles like a duck, then it's probably a duck. But if it just looks like one, it might be my next WinForms application. Ah, and yes it is. This blog will put an interesting spin on creating non-standard shaped WinForm applications. Use this technique when adding rounded corners or splash screens. read more...

websoftconsultants.co.uk — Windows forms are quick and easy to create in any .NET language. By choosing the right project template, a developer can be dragging controls onto a Windows form, and have a professional looking user interface constructed in a matter of minutes. Printing the form, however, is a different matter. The programmer can leave the user to press Print Screen, and then paste the results into MS Paint, or a similar application. However, this is messy, and un-professional. Consider the case where the form contains multiple tabs, or where data in a list box cannot all be displayed at once. Using this approach, the user will be involved with clicking controls, an capturing screen prints for quite a while. Alternatively, the .NET development environment provides several controls to "help" with printing. Using these controls, the developer may listen for events, and respond by rendering output using GDI+. This approach can result in very professional output, but the drawback is the amount of time it takes to develop printing support on a form-by-form basis. When compared to the ease of dragging controls onto the form for the initial user interface, it appears cumbersome, costly, time consuming, and can be prone to bugs. read more...
