WinForm Pizzazz Into Regular DLL

Tom
Hi all -- this is my first posting here and I want to start by saying
thank you to all the responders. I have done some searching and
reading and have learned a few things I didn't even know to enough
about to ask! This group rocks!! :)

I am hoping to find a guru who knows how to relate to a beginner. I am
using VS2005 Academic version and am just now learning WinForms. They
are awesome. I have almost zero MFC experience and I am hoping to leap
past MFC and utilize WinForms extensively.

I have a small and self written Win32 DLL that uses _stdcall and .DEF
export file to interact with another application.

As a HUGE DLL improvement, I'd like to learn how to incorporate the
WinForm functionality of a simple "Hello World" WinForm Project into
the above mentioned DLL. Then I'd be able to slowly add functionality
to the WinForm and accelerate my learning curve greatly. I recently
learned how to incorporate a console into the DLL ... but I want the
pizzazz of a WinForm.

I know this is not a simple task ... because I have done a lot of
online searching in an attempt to discover a good tutorial or
discussions about this task. I know there are a lot of #includes and
using statements that are needed. And some compiler settings too.

I have read the Deitel's - "Visual C++ .NET How To Program" a few
times through and there are still some major gaps in my programming
ability.

Thus I am hoping someone can give me some good entry level how to
instructions.

Please get me started and I'll post my efforts along this journey.

Thanks!

I found out that only using winform I can use the winword interop and generate word document in the client machine and connect to a remote database, so that I have made a winform application which accesses winword on the client and a remote db. Afterwards I wanted to use the no touch deployment but the winform cannot anymore start winword on the client, and I get a security exception. Does that mean that I cannot use no touch deployment...

My client's project consists of about 6 files maintenance programs that uses WinForm and grid for updates with lookup finders for each file. There is also a User file and security. There are also about 6 fairly standard reports. This project is supposed to be done in C# Winform with ADO.net and using MSDE, ActiveReports.Net. I had judged that it would take maybe a month to do the system. Number of users at 1 time should not exceed 10....

Hi, In my current project, I need to embed an .NET winform usercontrol in the aspx page (via <Objecttag). This winform usercontrol has an event called DoEvent (void DoEvent()). This winform usercontrol will fire this event upon certain action by the user. I tried to let the aspx page subscribe to this event via <script for="winObj1" event="DoEvent()" language="javascript"> window.alert("window control event happen!");

Hello, I have created a solution which has both a web UI and a winform UI, the latter is just for administrators.

We are building a multipane C# winform application with three panes. The anchored left pane will be the menu, center pane data entry, and right pane advisory information. The customer has requested there be only ONE scrollbar per page. IOW, if the menu needs to scroll, it will use the single scrollbar anchored on the right and all three panes will scroll. Same with the data pane... meaning if it needs to scroll the menu pane will scroll out...

I work with VS2005 and .NET FW ver. 3.0. I need to implement 3 to 4 panes in my form application. Is that possible? Is there a way for the user to configure in real time (the pane number)? Is there some reference or a sample anywhere in the Internet that is close to that? Regards Ronny
