Changing Designer Defaults in VS.NET 2003

Curious if there's a way to change designer defaults in VS.NET 2003; most
notably change which font is selected by default for a new Windows Form,
etc.

Since we're past Windows 3.1 design, the Sans Serif default isn't really
that useful to me and I'd just like to change the default to 8pt Tahoma and
leave it at that.

(Welcome to the era of Tahoma, Verdana, and the Gradient Panel.) :)

Hi Brandon,

I've just been reading about how to create item templates. You put them in
the templates folder and they show up in the list of available items when
you go Add > New Item > Windows Form. The folder is \Microsoft Visual Studio
..NET\Vb7\VBPro jectItems\Local Project Items\ and you need the .resx file
along with the form file.

I haven't really got this working so I hope someone else will know more.

Whenever no controls are selected in the VS.Net 2003 webforms designer, the Properties box defaults to "DOCUMENT", which allows me to set properties such as bgColor, bgProperties, bottomMargin, clientTarget, errorPage, targetSchema, etc. I have searched various assemblies with .Net Reflector for such a class, but to no avail. Does anyone have an idea where this DOCUMENT class resides in the framework? Somewhere, something must send an...

Can I change the order that controls are defined, or built, in the "Windows Form Designer generated code" section? I'm using VB.NET 2003. I have a custom control, that due to licensing restrictions, it must be defined before another "container" control on my form. I can manually move the code to where I need it, and successfully build my project. But whenever I modify the form, VB rearranges the Windows Form Designer code. I am...

I'm using C# 2.0. I have a UserControl-based class that contains a set of controls that are TextBox-based. The number of controls defaults to 1, but it is a browsable property (NumFields) in the form designer and can be changed. I expose a FieldText property in the form designer without exposing the TextBox-based class. I'm using an array of strings as the FieldText property. However the FieldText property as displayed in form...

Hi all, I am experiencing a strange thing happening with a "designer.vb" page. Controls I manually declare in this page are automatically deleted after I drop another control on a ".aspx" page. - Why is this happening? - Can I disable automatic declaration and have everything be declared manually? - Any other options to fix this? Thanks in advance. Goran Djuranovic

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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers. The idea...
