Dear WindowsForms Community,
I have a question about using ContextMenuStrips with TreeNodes.
Is there a clean OOP way of determining the TreeNode which was right-clicked
on within the Click event-handlers of my ContextMenuStrip?

I have two forms A and B. Om form B i have a NEW button which should
call form A and after a selection on form A it will call form B again.
Hence a circular calling of forms.
On both forms i created a event:

I am looking for tutorials, articles, etc that can help to enlighten me on
what's "really going on" or what's required to create a .NET application
(particularly Windows Forms) WITHOUT the use of Visual Studio. I understand
that VS does a lot of things for us, but I want to know ...

Does .NET Framework come with a TabPanel control like the one that
Visual Studio .NET uses to display all your source files in the main
window?  Particularly, I want the flat style of the tabs, the arrow
allowing you to select tabs which are "off the screen", as well as the

I have a Form that consists of multiple views with corresponding
controllers (MVC).  The presenters are listening to events that may
come from non-UI threads.  I am currently using InvokeRequired and
BeginInvoke to handle the events appropriately.

Is all I need the connection string to connect to a database?  Or does every
machine that uses the windows form app need to have a datasource for the
database set up on their machine?
Thanks.

In doing some development and testing I have found a curious issue with
the use of Mnemonics and Accelerators that I would like some input on.
If you create a form that has 2 buttons on it, one with text "&Button1"
and one with "B&utton2" and set up event handlers for both you will ...

Can someone point me to a document showing the sequence of form events upon
showing?
thx

I just converted a VS2003 application to VS2005, and my calls to
AdjustWindowRect (which seemed to work fine in VS2003) are pulling a runtime

I created a CheckBoxList with the Sorted property set to false.  Before
populating the list I set Sorted to false again.  Added items to the list
(not bound to a data source) and when the list displays the items are sorted
alphabetically.  Bummer.  Any ideas?

I wonder if there is a way to customize the links created by ClickOnce in the
application start menu so that the "Support" link points to a custom CHM help
file installed with the application instead of an URL.

I have a round image and have set it to be the button's image. I also set
the backcolor as Transparent. When I run the form, the image looks good but
it has a square box aound that is not transparent.
How can I get the square box to be transparent?

I've just converted a VS2003 application to VS2005, and a PInvoke call to

 I'm an asp.net 2.0 developer with a almost nothing in window forms.
 Because of the retriction of ASP.NET security I can't access the windows
register by it (unless I build an active x to do that, but I dn't even know
how to start if I choose that road) so I'm building a ...
