Just added an Alternate to http://www.codeproject.com/Tips/161652/How-to-Toggle-String-Case-in-NET.aspx[^] There were already 17 items but mine is now 17th and the previous 17 is now 18! If you search for "Actually, in my browser, Alternate 13 is regular expression, and Alternate 10 is using unsafe code" you will see that the reassignment of Alternates is causing all sorts of problems. (Just in case its relevant for debugging: as soon as I posted my Alternate, I noticed that the width was incorrect and there were two Pre tags at around the code, so I modified the Alternate to fix them. I didn't notice what the Alternate number was before the amendment but maybe the problem only shows on an Amendment?)

You guys all have way too much time on your hands. :)

After spending a long time on a current VB project with 30 similar but different forms, I was looking at using c# and inherited forms to see how much easier it could be. I have a base form with a tab control on it complete with two tabs that will be common to all inherited forms. e.g "General" and "Other Info" What I want to do is add additional tabs between these inherited tabs on the inherited forms. This works ok in Visual Studio (ie. I can move my new tab to between the existing tabs) but when the project is executed, the new tab is put back at the end of the list again. Is this a bug in VS or more, likely, a design limitation? What is the best way to achieve this. I want to keep the GUI mode modification of the tab layout but it seems to be wasteful to have VS create the collection in InitializeComponents() only for me to immediately do the same thing again.
