well, rotating for single component is not a problem. That is already done by me. The complexity comes into the picture when multiple components are selected and rotated. Also, the difficult thing is to show the perfect bounding rectangle after these rotated objects are resized. If you have any idea how to resize the rotated components (multiple) pls share with me. regards,

the COM interop dll is also using some dlls developed as part of our application. so it is failing to find these dlls n not the .net framework dll. What i have done is I have put codebase entry in my registry along with dll registration. So i think it finds the COM Interop dll but com interop dll in turn fails to get the dependancy dlls. hope things are clear now. If not pls revert back for more clarification. Thank you very much for your persistent support. I really appreciate it.

I don't work with WCF yet since we are not on .NET 3, see it this helps[^]

Pbraun, Thanks for your response. Instances to be launched on the same system only. I have two different operating modes in which my application works. Pls revert with your idea or questions if any. regards, Krunal C

I meant that some names stick out. Some for bad reasons. Since you posted your concerns, when you post a question in the future helpful members will probably try to take extra time to help you. _____________________________________________ Flea Market!

Hmmm if you can't use strong naming then I'm really not sure. Maybe someone else has some ideas? :/ Mark Churchill Director Dunn & Churchill

Hello, I think in that case only a workaround does the trick! Because Text property of TextBox seems to be special case. Therefore I would use an additional "newText" property and hide the "Text" property. private string \_newText=""; \[DefaultValue("")\] public string NewText { get { return \_newText; } set { if(value!=\_newText) { \_newText = value; Text = \_newText+" I'm formated"; } } } \[Browsable(false)\] public new string Text { get { return base.Text; } set { if(value!=base.Text) { base.Text = value; } } } Hope it helps! All the best, Martin

It's not that much effort. Still, no pain = no gain. Think of it as a learning curve, it'll do you good. The other option is to use one of the VS Express editions or buy VS 2005. I think I'm going to call my next project "Chuck Norris". It's a sure way to guarantee it's unbreakable. • • • But fortunately we have the nanny-state politicians who can step in to protect us poor stupid consumers, most of whom would not know a JVM from a frozen chicken.

First time I didn't get any help from this board but ultimately I got the solution. Type 'IWindowsFormsEditorService' in MSDN for more detail on solution :laugh:

Try overriding the combobox control. Very, very basic example below; class ComboBoxWidget: System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox { #region private member variables private int \_selectedIndex = -1; #endregion #region overrides protected override void OnSelectedIndexChanged( EventArgs e ) { if( this.SelectedIndex != this.\_selectedIndex ) { this.\_selectedIndex = this.SelectedIndex; base.OnSelectedIndexChanged( e ); } } public override int SelectedIndex { get { return base.SelectedIndex; } set { this.\_selectedIndex = value; base.SelectedIndex = this.\_selectedIndex; } } #endregion }

Oh, Good work! All the best, Martin
