So, I'm in awkward situation - I wanted to create Windows Form App using Visual Studio, but I can't find any place to create Visual C++ Windows Form template. I tried even to reinstall Visual C++, add other libraries and search answer online - no results. I can of course create new Winforms in C#: But not in C++: Also, all possible modules in Visual Studio Update was checked: I tried even add template from Online list: What should I do next? I use Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition. Ok, I found a working way to creating Windows Forms in Visual Studio 2017. Create new CLR Empty Project: Add

How to update the DataGridView so that it will effect the changes in database too? The code which I am trying is: foreach (DataGridViewRow myDgrow in dataGridView2.Rows) { myCmd = "Update Details set ProjectName='" + myDgrow.Cells["ProjectName"].Value + "', Description = '" + myDgrow.Cells["Description"].Value + "', DateStarted='" + myDgrow.Cells["DateStarted"].Value + "',TeamSize='" + myDgrow.Cells["TeamSize"].Value + "',Manager='" + myDgrow.Cells["Manager"].Value + "'"; myCmd = "Update Details set Description = '" + myDgrow.Cells["Description"].Value + "', DateStarted='" + myDgrow.Cells[

I have a class library with a custom control in it: using System.ComponentModel; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace ClassLibrary1 { public sealed class CustomLabel : Label { [DefaultValue(false), Browsable(false), EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never), DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)] public override bool AutoSize { get => base.AutoSize; set => base.AutoSize = value; } public CustomLabel() { AutoSize = false; } } } Notice that AutoSize is set to false in both the constructor and the designer attribute on the overridden method. I have a winforms

I am having troubles with setting my user control to automatically resize with the panel where it is created. When user is resizing a main form that contains the user control, the size of this user control does not change at all making for some poor user experience. So far I tried following: Ensure MinimumSize and MaximumSize properties on the user control are set to 0. Set AutoSize property on both (1) the user control and (2) the panel where it resides to True Set Anchor property on the panel to Top , Bottom , Left , Right Set Dock property to Fill for the user control (I did this with the

I am using C#, Winforms, VS 2017 Enterprise, and the full .NET Framework 4.7.2. [TLDR section at end!] I have been working extensively with the System.ComponentModel.Design namespace to create working Visual Studio-like Winforms designer. Setting up the environment for such an end-user forms designer requires deep understanding of objects and interfaces in the aforementioned namespace (and how to wire-up them all) along with toolbox and property grid components. Therefore, it's not possible for me to post a sample of the code. This question requires knowledge of the DesignSurface class ( https

All, I have finished the GUI design phase... Now I've started to add meaningful names to all the controls in my application. Visual Studio is driving me nuts auto generating the events each time I click on the control to change its name (ok so it only happens when I mess up and double click... but still annoying). Is there a way to temporarily disable this feature? I still want it because it is a great short cut when I'm coding. Thanks! You can't disable double clicking AFAIK but you can open document outline (Menu View > Other Windows > Document Outline), and rename the controls via F2 in
