Strange forms problem

Got this strange problem that I need some help in solving.

An application (uses .Net 1.0) developed by our company is showing a
simple form dialog incorrectly on one computer (so far). I'd like to
stress that this piece of software has been around for several years,
running on lots of computers and we've never come across this problem
until now.

The form in question contains two multi-line textboxes, several
checkboxes and a button. The two textboxes are set to dock=fill and
dock=button, the checkboxes are located next to the top textbox
(anchor=top,rig ht) and the button is located next to the button
textbox (anchor= button,right). This configuration, as said above,
has worked perfectly so far, it constructed using vs2002 editor.
However, on this one computer only the two textboxes appear. It seems
to me like the textboxes are hidding the checkboxes and button.

Any thoughts? It seems to me like there must some kind of local
environmental setting og bug thats causing this problem. Have tryed
adding .Net 1.0 sp3 without any help. Switching .Net version is not an
option at this point.

One thing to examine: maybe the computer where the application fails has
the screen resolution set to 120 dpi, while all the other computers where
the form displayed correctly were set to the default of 96 dpi? The dpi
setting sometimes causes unexpected effects on programs that are not
dpi-aware.

Change dock's to anchor's, this should resolve the issue

Ii I remember correctly in 1.0/1.1 dock.fill was somewhat unpredictable for
some controls and I stopped to use it since.

I am using form authentication and InProc cookieless session. The strange thing is that when an authenticated user try to navigate to any page that is in subfolder of the application root, the session is restarted and new session id is generated. Thus the user would never be able to access those pages because each page's InitializeComponent() checks if (Session.Keys.Count == 0). If yes, then server transfer the request to login.aspx...

Hello- I have a form with the mediaplayer referenced to play mp3's and avi's and I believe that is what is causing the problem. I am not sure, but I am hoping.

I upgraded this project from a standard vb app to the .net version (vb express anyway) and that is when the problem arose. ...

Hello, all. After trying to wade through a great deal of undocumented and uncommented code in order to speed up a frame capture rate, I've decided that, for my sanity and that of my boss and any coders to follow me, I should start over and write it myself. I reuse a great deal of the old code, but I can't really get much further until I get the passthrough working (Passthrough is the 'live' video feed captured by the camera and card).

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,...
