BUG: WinForm designer in C#...

We have a number of machiens with VS.NET 2003 installed and on every
machine, the forms in the designer are comming out different sizes and when
we build and run the app (without code changes) they appear different on
every machine. Why? We disabled auto scaling of fonts we locked the form
yet nothing helps.

Any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

This is kinda a dumb question, but are all your machines running at the same
video resolution?
Maybe check InitializeCompo nent() to ensure the window size is being set.

Its causing problems on the code checkins also, its somehow resizing the
form. when I build its appearing different on others machines. I was told
its a known problem.

Hi all, To repro the problem I am having: 1. Create a class that derives from System.Windows.Forms.Form 2. Add some controls such as buttons and labels (wherever you want). The default values must be set appropriately. 3. Add some public properties to the form that directly adjust the exposed private Control properties: public class BaseForm : Form {

Can anyone explain why when i set the .ClientSize of a form, and then check the .ClientSize when the resize event fires, it is slightly off, generally 20(varys) pixels in the height but not always. I have tried many things to try to get the clientsize to set properly such as setting autoscale to false among other things, but the client size will just not set properly. If I check the client size immediatly after i set it it is correct but...

I just lost some user controls for no reason using VB.Net 2003. I had added the controls thru the Design IDE and all was working ok but for some reason, they just disappeared. The form module ("Windows Designer code") showed them still there but all properties that I had set were gone. My solution was to re-add the controls in the designer then copy the design code to a sub and add them programatically in the form load event. I believe...

VS2005 is a PIECE of Garbage and is bug Ridden, I wonder how many others feel the same, I am so sorry that I have moved away from VS2003, VS2005 is unstable, and half the stuff doesn't work, Microsft has spent so much time trying to make it simply that when you try to do something useful with it it doesn't work... Half the time it crashes, and menu items appear for things you cannot do. For example, Go into component designer, ...

Hello, Using VS2005. I have an assembly library that can be called from a Web site asp.net application or from a winform application. From this library I need to retrieve a path using simply a key like 'libPath'. As far as winform and asp.net share the same common base class for settings, SettingsBase, how to manage this ? For winform the value should be set in app.config and for web site in

I've come across an interesting bug. I have workarounds but i'd like to know the root of the problem. I've stripped it down into a short file and hope someone might have an idea about what's going on. It's a simple program that loads a control onto a form and binds "Foo" against a combobox ("SelectedItem") for it's "Bar" property and a datetimepicker ("Value") for it's "DateTime" property. The DateTimePicker.Visible value is set to...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
