creating multiple panels

Hi,

I want to display different forms when the buttons are clicked and all
the forms are having different controls on it. So instead of adding
new windows forms to the project, i enlarged the form and used many
panels on the same form, which i think is easier to manage.

However, i am having problems. Should i need to put the panels on the
same location on the design layout? i put the panels at different
places and it doesn't get displayed when i called panel2.visible if
panel2 is at the other corner on the form (the form is where i create
all the panels).

If i put all the panels on the same location at design layout, then
the panels lay on top of one another, some panels became partially
hidden when i did this, and those staying below also doesn't get
displayed even though i have put it to visible true., and those need
not be displayed set to false.

when can i see examples of using multiple panels on one form?? Is this
a better way than creating multiple forms??

In the case where you have the panels overlaying each other, after you set
visible to true did you try calling panel.BringToFr ont()?

Hi, i need to develop a gui which will load several "windows" depending on what the users selects in the menu and i thought i could accomplish this with panels. What i'm trying to do to test this is load an initial panel and then when the user hits a button load a second panel. This doesn't seem to work. 1. what's the appropriate way of switching panels? 2. the loadNewPanel function seem wrong. I always get loading panel two".

Hi! I have aspx-page where I use multiple panels to make room for more controls than would otherwise fit onto one page. On submit, the controls on all panels, visible or not, should be validated with the ASP.NET validators, and if the page is valid, it is sent to the database in one transaction. But it seems that only the controls on the visible panels gets validated. Is there a easy way to solve this problem?

I'm wondering what the best practice is for creating a WinApp "wizard" that contains 4 or 5 "steps". Options so far are 1) Single WinForm making various controls visible/non visible at the different steps(although that may get cluttered in the design environment) 2) Create multiple WinForms (don't really know any pros or cons of this method) 3) Use a tabbed page (although I don't want to see any tabs)

I have a form that i've split up into multiple asp:panels, each panel has a number of validators which work correctly. At on the last panel, i want to commit the data collected to a database. I figured since all the panel data is still being sent through the postbacks, instead of using Sessions, or HttpContext, I could just take the values from the textboxes. This all works fine, except for security. I realized that I could inject...
