Thanks, Dennis

I just wanted to say Hello once again. I was known prior to this user name, as dlt123. I have recently changed my ISP carrier and could not remember my user name password, so started a new user name. I took others recommendations here and plunged into learning C# and over the course of several months, have been using Learn Visual Studio Tutorial videos to accelerate my C# and VS skills. I cannot tell you enough how useful Learn Visual Studio has been. If anyone is looking to learn about Visual Studio or SQL database programming, C# or Visual Basic, give these guys a look. Their videos are excellent and will help you to learn or improve your programming skills... Here is a link to their website... http://www.learnvisualstudio.net Hope this helps someone else like it did me...

Bump... I hate to do this but I still need this information. I realize this may be a real newbie question, but I am just beginning to learn C# and the VS 8 Pro programming environment. It would sure be nice if I could find a reference book that explains the commands or attributes of the Form Tool box items. Again, I appreciate your time and answers.

Man, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am programming in C# and using Visual Studio V8. I am a beginner and using the Form Designer to create my interfaces. I realize this is a newbe question, but I do not know where else I might get this information. When I am designing my application using the Design mode and adding buttons, listboxes and such, I am not always sure what commands a specific Toolbox item can use or offer. As an example, how do I know what other commands can be used with the following or Form entities? i.e. // Close the open window Form.ActiveForm.Close(); OR Button newButton = new Button(); newButton.Name = controlNameTextBox.Text; newButton.Text = controlTextTextBox.Text; sampleFlowLayoutPanel.Controls.Add(newButton); OR private void wrapContentsCheckBox_CheckedChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (wrapContentsCheckBox.Checked == true) sampleFlowLayoutPanel.WrapContents = true; else sampleFlowLayoutPanel.WrapContents = false; } What I am asking here is, are there any third party books that help explain what commands you can use for a particular Toolbox item? I am looking for a reference manual or book I can buy that will show me what attributes a command from the toolbox has that can be used. I've looked through the help and really do not want to have to navigate through the Visual Studio Help Menu labyrinth in order to find just what actions can be assigned to a Toolbox item. I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance, Dennis ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- Belief has no affect on reality. My Website: http://www.roadtobetterliving.com
