Is there a quick and easy way to make a VB.NET user interface for managing the data in a normalized DataSet? I know that is a very subjective question, so let me explain. For a brief period early in my career, I used to create user interfaces in Microsoft Access. I developed a simple, but very effective approach to user interface design. Here are some details of that approach:

I'm working on a WinForms solution in VB.NET. It's been a while since I'm mostly a web developper. So what I need to do is to replicate the behavior of Microsoft Office product for the Cut, Copy, Paste and Undo menus and toolbar. Which meens, I need to enable Cut and Copy when and only when there's some selected text on the Form. The Paste menu have to be enabled only when the is some text in the clipboard.
Do you have any ideay about how to accomplish that ? I probably would have to check some event in the TextBox's to check if some text is selected (MouseUp ?). Then in the Enter event, I would check if there's something in the Clipboard to enabled Paste menu..

Basically in visual basic 6 I could access word tables in existing templates with the code owordactivedoc.tables(1).select() where owordactivedoc refers to the active word document and tables(1) refers to the first table in the template.Trying the same code in VB 2003 just leads to errors. Secondly how do I access bookmarks or alternatively word variables.Furthermore how do one deploy web.services. For example the current program I am building is for another computer. Simply copying the web service to Inetpubwwwroot dont work because it is not picked up by the Internet Information Services program. I have to create the web service in vb2003 on the other computer change msconfig manually. Copy and paste the existing service vb file in the created folder replacing the empty vb file.

I am looking to create several custom controls (PictureBox Derivatives) on during runtime. I've read that the best way is to create template controls that will be created, and duplicate them in the Controls array.
Well, that's all fine and dandy, but what's the best way to store the template? I considered a seperate form with all the templates laid out on it for easy access for my editing, and keeping them out of the user's sight. I also considdered doing a Struct for each template, and smply mirroring values onto the control being created from the Struct to the created control.
I'm looking for ease of development first and foremost, as I'm most likely going to have a vast number of these templates, and keeping the system as simple as possible will eliminate a lot of hair-pulling. After development ease, I'd go for optimisation.
Where and how do I look for to access the default templates of say for e.g a checkbox, so that I can modify few styles in it.

View 1 RepliesLet's say I have an abstract class IA, with subclasses A1, A2, A3. For each subclass, I had a page with a FormView to insert/edit/view, with code specific to that class. The templates for insert/edit/view are all very similar, so it was mostly cut & paste, and the compiler had no problem that there were controls with the same IDs in the different templates. Something like this:

I believe one or more versions of VB.Net did away with "default instances" for Forms.
1) Was it in the 2003 or 2005 version(s)?
2) With the more recent 2008 and 2010 verions, is it possible to use a template or
change one of the files in the project so that default Form instances are not created?
