I'm using Visual C# Express to write Windows Form applications, and call me old school, but I don't like the designer. It is a nuisance and pollutes my project with lots of unwanted files, as well as unwanted monkey-generated source code. Please tell me there's a way to turn it off completely. Just dont add "new form" , add to the project new class and inherit him from the Form class. Add a [System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategory("")] attribute before a UI class to avoid designer activation on double-click. Note that including System.ComponentModel at the top of the file and then just adding

I have a custom user control with a textbox on it and I'd like to expose the baseline (of the text in the textbox) snapline outside of the custom control. I know that you create a designer (inherited from ControlDesigner) and override SnapLines to get access to the snaplines, but I'm wondering how to get the text baseline of a control that I have exposed by my custom user control. I just had a similar need, and I solved it like this: public override IList SnapLines { get { IList snapLines = base.SnapLines; MyControl control = Control as MyControl; if (control == null) { return snapLines; }

I want to use a Web Browser to access a website that uses JavaScript on load. I understand that Web Browser is a wrapper of the current installed version of Internet Explorer. However, testing the website on Internet Explorer yields no errors but does not work if I use the Web Browser to access the content. I have also looked at my internet security settings to ensure it is enabled. The issue I get is; Awkwardly enough, I found the answer moments after posting this but I thought anyone who comes across the same problem as me will find solace in this answer; It seems downloading the latest

My workshop has recently switched to Subversion from SourceSafe, freeing us from automatic locks. This led to concurrent editing of the Forms, which is wonderful. But when multiple developers commit their changes, the code files created by the designer (all the files named TheFormName.designer.cs ) cause conflicts which are very difficult to resolve. As far as I can tell, this is because the code generated by the designer is heavily re-arranged whenever the user modifies it, no matter how little the actual change really did. How do I make these conflicts easier to resolve? Is there some way to

I wrote User Control (yay!). But I want it to behave as a container. But wait! I know about [Designer("System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner, System.Design", typeof(IDesigner))] Trick. The problem is - I don't want all of my control to behave like container, but only one part. One - de facto - panel ;) To give wider context: I wrote a control that has Grid, some common buttons, labels and functionalities. But it also has a part where the user is supposed to drop his custom buttons/controls whatever. Only in this particular part of the control, nowhere else. Anyone had any idea? You

This is probably a very simple question, but for some reason, even the right way to web search for the answer eludes me... I'm trying to create a user control that consists of a few labels and progress bars. However, I want the entire control to have a "Click" event that is raised no matter what item inside the control is clicked on. I've created a "HandleClick" procedure that is assigned to each control: private void HandleClick(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Call the callback function, if we were asked to if (OnClick != null) { EventArgs ee = new EventArgs(); OnClick(this, ee); } else {
