Suppose I have a Microsoft Expression Blend. Is it possible to create a custom control (such as a button) in MSE Blend and then import it to visual basic 2010?For example, I want to create a custom shape button (different from what is available in the toolbox in VB2010) (like for example a pen-shaped button) in MSE Blend. Can I import it to VB2010 to be used with Windows Forms Projects? If yes, how?

View 1 RepliesI want to place 24 check boxes on a form.

View 2 RepliesI'm attempting to create a customized dictionary object, because I want to add some code to the Add routine, and I can't just inherit because Add is not overridable.
So I'm creating a class that implements IDictionary. Already I am confused, because Dictionary implements a lot of interfaces, listed below:
Implements IDictionary(Of TKey, TValue), ICollection(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), _
IEnumerable(Of KeyValuePair(Of TKey, TValue)), IDictionary, ICollection, _
IEnumerable, ISerializable, IDeserializationCallback
But IDictionary inherits ICollection and IEnumerable, so why implement all three (and don't they have overlapping methods)?
#2, when I implement IDictionary, the code fills in two Add methods (one for the ICollection add of a keyvaluepair, one for the Idictionary method). Apparently both these add methods are required for Idictionary, yet a regular dictionary (which implements IDictionary) only has one Add method that I can see. I actually would like to have only one Add method if possible. Why am I being asked to make two (and that's before all the other interfaces have been added)?
I've been working with System.Drawing for awhile and like to think I have a good handle on it; I've created classes that draw grids, write text in gridboxes and rectangles, convert rectangles to circles, fill areas with color, etc. What I don't have is any sense of artistry at all, and I don't have the slightest clue how one would use System.Drawing to draw a rectangle and then color/slope the edges so that it looks like a System.Windows.Forms.Button would, or how to make it look like it's inset deeper than the surrounding Form, like setting a Panel's BorderStyle to Fixed3D.

View 25 RepliesAt the top of my form, I have a status strip with the common "Window" dropdown that is seem in many commerical and Windows Applications. What I am attempting to do is the same that can be done in VB2010 itself. In Visual Basic, clicking the Window Dropdown allows you to choose which window is active. My whole point on this is that they are using a customized Image.Here is an image example from a program called Paint.NETIn the area of the dropdown, you can clearly see that the "Checked" images are customized. For example, Tools is showing the hammer with the glass button frame over it.What I want to know is how would I achieve this customized image set? I already know I would need at least 2 images, one for checked, one for unchecked.

UPDATED: Feel like this shouldn't be that complicated, but I think I just don't know the proper name for what I'm trying to do. I'm dealing with an ASP.net project. The concept is pretty simple: I have a library that supplies some ecomm functions. One class in the libary contains functions around calculating tax. One class in the library revolves around the cart header. This class is consumed by a web project.

View 1 RepliesIn my program's properties, I customized my application icon, which I also set on the main form's icon property. If I look in my bin/Release folder or if I run my program I see my customized icon. If I right-click and select Send to -> Desktop on Windows XP, I see a shortcut with my ICON on the desktop.

View 1 RepliesI have created a customized list (by implementing IList) where I added a few special methods. Sometimes (but not always), I only want to expose this list as read-only. To do this for normal lists, I use the Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection wrapper, which works fine typically. But it seems by passing my customized list through this wrapper, my added methods are no longer visible, which defeats the whole purpose of having this customized list object in the first place. How can I create a read-only version of a customized list?
View 2 RepliesI have created a customized control in which i have used some different property names. For eg. if the actual property name in the base class is "Text", i have used the name "CtlText" by internally implementing the "text" property with some additional checks. Now i want the user to use only "CtlText" property during coding. Currently the user is able to see 2 property with same functionalities.
Is there anyway i can surpress the using of a property during runtime?In design time we can hide it using the "Browsable" attribute, but i need to hide the same during runtime also.
