I've recently installed VS.NET 2005 (prof) and when I create a WinForm
app and, say, add buttons to it, by default you get the old crappy
standard buttons -- no the new XP Style buttons with rounded corners,
etc.  On another person's system the same software is installed and

I am having trouble getting Application.Restart to work.

I am building an object based system and have my data in the form of objects

I am trying to create a modeless form whose parent is another form.  If the
modeless form is toplevel it won't let me set the parent, if the modeless
form is not toplevel it won't let me show.  I 'solved' the problem by making
the modeless form toplevel only after it is shown.  ...

items in it. Controls that we are using are  Buttons in each row and

Why is there no Reset() method on the windows forms timer?  Calling
Start() then Stop() only disables the raising of events for this
period.  It doesn't reset the timer back to 0.  For instance, I have a
timer that elapses every 30 seconds, let it run for 10 seconds, stop it

I can't find the "disable" property of tabpage.

Is there a way to set the default printing and the orientation by Code using
the webbrowser class?
Thanks,

How can I update a WinForm without stealing focus?
I have a main form which has a Timer to perform updates (query data and
display it on the form). (Yes, it uses Invoke.) I also have menu items that
can display dialogs to set various things.

Sorry for cross-posting this all over the place, but I've already lost

usenet archives up and down and tried everything I can think of, but I
