Embedded controls are "alive" during design time
Posted by ravi.s.desai NO[at]SPAM gmail.com at 4/6/2007 10:43:20 AM

I am building a custom user control that embeds several SWF TextBox controls onto a scrolling panel. The numbe...more >>

Posted by Larry Smith at 4/2/2007 10:08:57 AM
Hi there, Can anyone provide any insight on why MSFT introduced "TypeConverter.GetProperties()". There are two classes for dealing with metadata in .NET, 'Type" and "TypeDescriptor". Each has a "GetProperites()" method so why complicate the situation even more than it already is by adding...more >>
