C# - Create Visual Studio Style Options / Settings Dialog
Sep 13, 2011
I am currently in the process of improving my options dialog for a winforms application. At the moment I am using a tab control. I would like to create a form/dialog for settings that is similar to Visual Studio's. How is this done? I can see a treeview like control on the left hand side but what control are they using to display each of the options pages, it doesn't appear to be a tab control. I would like to be able to build the controls for each of the settings at design time.

The company has been using Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 2.0 for approximately 2 years. During that time we released several versions (4.x.x) of our program to the public and were able to preserve the user's settings using My.Settings.Upgrade.During the past development cycle we upgraded the program to Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 and changed the version to 5.x.x. Now, when a user upgrades from 4.x.x to 5.x.x they lose all of their settings.However, in all upgrades after that point (ie 5.0 to 5.1) all the user's settings are once again preserved.I checked C:Documents and Settings<USER_NAME>Local SettingsApplication DataCompanyName and it contains two directories:
ApplicationName_Url_aaa ApplicationName_Url_bbb
where aaa and bbb are 32 character strings. All of the user.config files for the 4.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_ Url_aaa directory. All of the user.config files for the 5.x.x releases can be found in the ApplicationName_Url_bbb directory.Based on this information it seems like something changed when we converted our program to VS2010 and Framework4 that is now causing a different 32 character string to be generated. However, we have been unable to track it down.

A Dialog that is added to a Windows Forms project comes with two buttons (OK and Cancel) and Click event subroutines for each. The subroutines close the Dialog with different DialogResult enumerations. Here's the code in the one for Cancel: Me.DialogResult = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Me.Close() But either statement (changing DialogResult to an enumeration other than Null or Close), by itself, will close the Dialog as well. (Try commenting out one and then the other to prove it to yourself.) Here's the question: Why both? Why not just one or the other?

I am running Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Professional on a Windows 7 system.While working on a visual basic exercise in chapter 4 of the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 Step by Step book on the MyMenu program I added a Toolstrip to my form and then I was trying to perform the add OpenFileDialog and ColorDialog controls to the component tray as described at the bottom of page 111 under Using Dialog Box Controls. I could never get the controls to appear in the component tray as instructed in the book.
I added a toolstrip to the form. According to my instructions I should be able to click on the Open file icon on the toolstrip to select it and then click anywhere else on the form. When I do that, the OpenFileDialog should appear on the component tray where I can then select it to enter code. This however does not happen.The only way I was able to get them to appear in the component tray was by opening the Menu program supplied on the DVD under chapter 4, selecting both of the above controls on the component tray, right clicking and then press copy. I then closed the Menu program and opened the MyMenu program that I created and then I was able to paste the two object controls to the component tray.
I went back to the original Menu program to see if I was able to place any other controls on the component tray by following the instructions in the book but was not able to. I also tried the same thing with MyMenu and it also still would not work.I have been unable to find anything that might explain why the component tray does not work as explained. Perhaps there is some setting somewhere that needs changed, but all searches have been unsuccessful.
PS. I have entered this on one of the other MicroSoft forums and although it has gotten multiple views I have not yet received any feedback.I also get the following error: Cannot add component of type 'ToolStripButton' to container of type 'form'.

I want to be able to create a tree view that can get its nodes form a directory on a computer. In the code below, I am able to get all of the files into a list, but I cannot get the folder correct. What I mean is in your user directory, you have sub directorys such as, Documents, Music, and Pictures. When you run this code, it displays them each as thier own node, not nested. I hope this makes sense.
[Code]...
Changed the code to the way spinion told me to. When I run this code I get an error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object' when it starts to try and add files to the tree view.

I was trying to create a visualizer for IDictionary or ICollection Then like the simple visualizer (without dialog; I mean the ususal string visualizer that appears when hovering the variable, see image below), I want to make my custom text, I want to cast the collection to its type's list (I.E. StringCollection to List(Of String) or List) and then I will be able to see it in the visualizer. Or for Dictionaries show to lists visualizers for keys and for values.how to implement or even how to start?This is something I thought about:
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Collections;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
[code]....
I want to use something similar for ICollection (or IList), IDictionary etc.Note that in arrays, the visualizer shows every nested objcet.This is actually what I want to achieve:Try to visualize a List and you will see that there is a private value _items, so you can see its items. I want to achieve something similar in collection and dictionary.

Alright, I've been taking this class in school for Software development, and right now I am working on a assignment my professor is having us do, and honestly, I am kind of stumped here. Basically he wants us to create a form in Visual Studio 2005. It has a group box with two Radio buttons, (One for boys, One for Girls) and a List box that lists the corresponding names of the Gender you selected with a radio button.Alternatively, you can click the Report button and get the list that way.
Heres a screenshot of how he wants it: He wants us to use parallel arrays to make the list, each name has a corresponding M or F. So far I have the objects all set up, and the I have declared the parallel array like this in the Declaration of the form:

Dim acDoc As Document = acDocMgr.Add(strTemplatePath)

However, when I try to run the program I get an filenotfoundexception and the program asks me to verify if the file exists in the specified location. The file does exist in the specified location.

I have a program I am trying to create in Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, and have a few questions as to whether what I would like the program to do is even possible - Here is the idea of my program:
I have a main form with a ComboBox1, Pic1, ImageList1, and Label1 - In my ComboBox I have 118 entries, and 118 corresponding Images in the ImageList control - Right now I have it set to show the Image from the ImageList when a ComboBox1 entry is clicked, by the Index number:
If ComboBox1.SelectedIndex <> -1 Then
Pic1.Image = ImageList1.Images(ComboBox1.SelectedIndex)
Else
Pic1.Image = Nothing
End If
What I want to know is, Can I make it so I can add/update entries in the ComboBox1 and ImageList1 at runtime? Such as, have an 'Open' dialog to import the Image I want to add, and a simple InputBox to add to the Combo1 list? Also, if this IS possible, if I add Items at runtime, won't it mess up my Indexes, and then the correct Images from the ImageList1 won't be the ones that show?
I know, lot of questions, but I am trying to cleanse my mind of VB6, and focus on .NET - More complicated, but I like the appearance of the finished programs much better, without stupid additional OCX's

Anyone knows a way to do this both for VS.NET2005 and VS.NET2008?

I basically want to make this in my application, so our technicians have an easier time installing our software. So far, I made a form with 4 text boxes: Server name, user name, password, and a combo-box to select a database.Everything was pretty easy until the database selection code. Microsoft's wizard is very efficient, there's no wait time when the database combo box is being filled.[code]That code gets the databases just fine, but obviously if an exception happens the whole screen locks up and it might take a while to recover depending on what the database error is. My question is, can I make mine just as cool/efficient as Microsoft's?
