designtime handling
-
Hello, I want to code something similar to tabcontrols but different enough to warrent a new control. I have simplified my issue: I want a user control to which I can add multiple pages (panels) of windows form controls in design time , then use those pages in runtime. Also in design time I want to navigate between the panes. I guess my user control needs to have a designer based on System.Windows.Forms.Design.ParentControlDesigner created but... I was wondering if anyone of you people can recommend a good guide/article/ even a book to designtime coding using vs2005 any tips/advice ? (not rude please!!) most of the articles I have google'd were either vs2003, c# or just plain awfull. The msdn2 articles I have read where barely understandable. any help would be appreciated (lost , confused , alone - stuck in design time - sigh) thanks Martin

I personally hate Design time programming! There is a great book on custom controls called: "Pro .Net 2.0 Windows Forms and custom controls in C#" by Matthew MacDonald. Publisher: Apress. I think there is a VB.NET version. Just as a tip (that you might not like): You will find a lot more help with intense topics like this if you are programming in C#. I used to be a diehard (beginning) programmer and I hated C# when I first started using it. Now I wouldn't go back to VB.Net for anything. (million dollars maybe):-D Hope it helps! Richard

hi, thanks for that c# seems to be the next comming thing but argh I find it cumbersome to read!! I have programmed in Delphi, RPG , C++ , VBA , VB etc but c# just seems - ugh! cant place why though - maybe its too much like javascript - maybe I dont like braces!! (tell me why! I dont like mon.... er sorry cant get that tune out my head) I will probably trickle into it eventully. Of course it doesnt help if your company is currently a VB shop - anyhoo... you havent seen any good online articles have you?? thanks martin
