VS C# 2005 Express edition align to Grid

WRH
Hello
In the windows form designer of VS C# 2005 Express edition
Align to Grid is greyed out. Is this intentional or just my
installation?

Hi...
In the windows form designer of VS C# 2005 Express edition
Align to Grid is greyed out. Is this intentional or just my
installation?
It's a setting.

By default, the Forms designer uses "SnapLines" as LayoutMode. These are
the lines that appear when you drag a control around to help you align
it with other controls or form borders.

You can use "SnapToGrid " as LayoutMode. Then a grid will be drawn on the
design service (as in previous versions: a grid of dots). When you do
that, the "Align to Grid" will work.

To change the setting:
Tools >Options... >Windows Forms Designer >LayoutMode

Have fun.

Thanks for your quick response.

However, in VS C# 2005 Express Edition There is no
Windows Forms Designer under Tools >Options
(just Environment, Text Editor, and Debugging)
I suspect its just not available with the free
Express edition

Oh. Right.
I'm sorry. I should have specified you have to check the "Show all
settings" checkbox to see those. It's just that that checkbox is default
on in my environment. :)
But it's there, trust me. :) I'm using C# Express myself. :)

So...

Tools >Options...
Check "Show all settings" in dialog box.

Then:
Windows Forms Designer >General >LayoutMode

Find it now?

Hi I installed .NET 2005 express edition, and am about to unnistall it again because it can't seem to be able to even insert a resource file into a project. Can anyone tell me is this right?

Also, once it's downloaded, is there any way of getting access to the fully downloaded file incase you want to...

Hi all! I'm a newbie to C# and .NET and I'm playing around in Visual C# 2005 Express Edition.

We have an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. We are upgrading SQL Server to SQL 2005, and are considering upgrading to Access 2003. Someone mentioned that they had heard about some incompatibilities between Access 2003 and SQL Server 2005. Anyone hear of anything? And, if so, would staying with Access 2000 be better? Thanks! Neil

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,...
