Hosting Web Forms Designer

Hi,

I am researching if it is possible to incorporate the web forms designer
that is used by visual studio in another application.

Hosting the WIN forms designer is already possible (see
http://divil.co.uk/net/articles/designers/hosting.asp for an example)

But the 1.0 / 1.1 framework didn't had the needed functionality to be
able to host the WEB forms designer.

The framework that comes with Visual Studio 2005 (Whidbey) however has
designers for webforms, unfortunatly when trying to initializing the
designer for a component like usercontrol or page, an
nullreferenceex ception is thrown by that method (system.design) .
Because i can't debug that, i'm stuck. (I used the example code of
http://divil.co.uk/net/articles/designers/hosting.asp and replaced the
form control with a usercontrol and tried to run it)

So i was wondering if anybody could provide more insight in how the web
form designer can be put to work?

Bye,

Ward

Hi, Both the methods below open up a windows form called MasterForm. However, one works better than the other.

Method 2 opens the form but when I right click on the Notify Icon I don't get the context menu that I should be seeing. I can interact with the main form window but I cannot interact with the NotifyIcon. Method 2 gives a object reference...

I have a ComboBox set up in a non-modal form. When a selection is made from the ComboBox, the handler code closes the form, but then the system crashes because of an unhandled NullReferenceException.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. The code appears below for a simple...

Hi, I am trying to get my head around a custom forms designer. There is a project by Microsoft at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;813808 which does pretty much what I want but I cannot work out how to expose the 'Name' property in the designer so you can change it on the GUI, also I can't get my head around how to add a custom property to the controls and show that in the GUI as well.

Hello, Please pardon my ignorance as this is something I should know, but I'm a little unclear. I have an MDI based app. It is setup so the user opens a file and the main child form is created. Once that is opened one (or more) properties forms can be opened. What is the best method for sharing data between the properties forms and the main child form? I need to alert the main child form when a value is modified in a properties form so I...
