| .NET Interop: Get Ready for Microsoft .NET by Using Wrappers to Interact with COM-based Applications |
| MSDN |
| Very soon, the development of Microsoft .NET applications will require interaction between those apps and existing COM components on both the client and the server. The .NET Framework has made provisions for this interaction by implementing various wrappers for COM objects to allow exposure of their properties and methods to .NET components. These wrappers will make it easy to make the connection between COM and .NET. |

| A C# Visual Studio.Net, Excel, and InterDev tab control |
| The Code Project |
| cwTab is a control written in C# that gives you the ability to add Visual Studio.Net, Excel, and InterDev tabs to any application. The control is fully customizable. The class is written in C# and uses a double-buffering class provided by Microsoft. The code demonstrates using GDI+ for drawing, event handling, enumerations in C#, overrides, attributes, properties and double buffering.

| A Designable PropertyTree for VS.NET |
| The Code Project |
| Ever since I first started programming with OWL back in 1995, I've written this type of control each time I learn a new language in which to program GUIs. I wrote one in OWL (Borland's MFC-like library), in straight C, and Java 2's Swing, among others. I've always called them 'PropertyTree's - mostly because the first place I saw them implemented was in Netscape's Edit | Properties dialog box. |

| A Docking Control That Can Be Dragged And Resized by the User |
| The Code Project |
| One of the first features of C# that took my interest was the ability to Dock a Control onto the edge of a Form. Now I could attach a Control (or more likely a composite control by deriving from UserControl) onto a Form edge and quickly construct a useful looking application. But there is one crucial factor missing from this scenario. The user has no discretion over the size or positioning of this docked control. I want the user to be able to drag the control to a different edge and be able to resize the control so that they can customise the application area to suit their own preferences. |

| A Wheel Control in C# |
| C# Corner |
| This article describes a simple Windows control written in C# that simulates a wheel knob like that on your walkman used to change volume. The control is drawn using animation technique. I use a bitmap that shows the wheel in various position that will be displayed sequentially when the control is dragged. Some properties give the user the possibility to change range of possible values returned by the control. More over sensitivity property act like a gain on wheel movements. |

| Building a Forms Generator using Code DOM |
| C#Today |
| In this case study, Dot Net Guru Reynolds looks at one of the most powerful features of .NET Code DOM. Code DOM is short for Code Document Object Model, and it has been designed to generate code in any managed language, although support from language to language may vary. Core Microsoft languages will typically support Code DOM (C# and VB .NET both do, obviously). In this case study, were going to look at how to build a Forms Generator using Code DOM. Were going to put together a project that can take a DataTable and from that generate a new C# source code file containing a class that extends UserControl that also has a set of TextBox, Label and CheckBox controls that allow editing of that DataTable. |

| Building Windows Forms on-the-fly with XML and C# |
| C#Today |
| In this article, Ashiwn Kamanna takes the concept of an XML driven Form builder a step further than the basics as he discusses how to eliminate the requirement for Form development, not only in an ASP based web application, but also in any potential client of an application. He discusses how to build a Form dynamically in a C# based windows application, and also discusses some object oriented patterns as he walks us through an example. |

| Custom Add-Ins Help You Maximize the Productivity of Visual Studio .NET |
| MSDN |
| Regardless of how great an integrated development environment (IDE) is, there will always be features that developers wish had been included. For that reason, the Visual Studio .NET IDE provides an extensive add-in facility that allows you to add nearly unlimited numbers of features and functionalities written in Visual Basic, C, C++, C#, or any .NET-compliant language. This article explains how add-ins work in Visual Studio .NET. It then shows how to add custom text editing by creating an add-in with two editing functions, a simple text insert of the current date, and a more complex function to reformat paragraphs of text. Finally, you'll learn how to add a page to the Options dialog. |

| Developing A Vector Based C# Drawing Application - Part 3 |
| C#Today |
| In the first part of this series, Budi Kurniawan discussed the specification for a vector based C# drawing application. In Part 2, we looked at the Shape abstract class and the seven classes that inherit it. We also examined how an event handler works in a Windows application and we briefly discussed the System.Collections namespace. In this final part of the project, we will complete the development by discussing the DrawingArea custom control, the Color and Pen classes from the System.Drawing namespace, and object serialization - which is used to persist our drawing to a file, to be restored at a later stage. |
