This sounds like a dumb question, but I'm using VS 2010 Express edition and cannot find where to add a new Windows form. The templates provided don't indicate a Windows form . Are they called something different in this version of VS?
Yeah I am not sure because I am using the same thing and I just go to the top and click
Project>Add Windows Form

In multiple Windows Store App tutorials i have come across, where Visual Studio 2012 is used, the user is told to delete MainPage.xaml and replace it with a new item called Basic Page.
Since Windows Store Apps is not available in the version I'm using (Visual Studio 2015 Ultimate), when creating a new project, I went with Windows Universal Blank App. The problem is I can't find the Basic Page item in the version I'm using.
Is there an equivalent item I can use instead?
Edit: YouTube tutorial link
I know absolutely nothing about Windows Store Apps and Universal Apps, but was told by my CS teacher that I should use Windows Universal App, when creating the project. The tutorial was his recommendation, and he expects that I finish it during the weekend, so I can't ask him about it. I'm guessing there must be some difference between WSA and WUA. I can't see any item that looks like Basic Page, and I don't really know why the guy is replacing the MainPage.xaml with a Basic Page, so i'm clueless about what to do now.
You should use Blank Page option instead.
Difference between Basic Page and Blank Page
Basic Page- This on addition also adds some boilerplate code related to navigation inside your app along with back button and Appname header in XAML code.
Blank Page- Only adds a default page with basic navigation.
Make sure you have installed app development SDK's, since under C# you are supposed to get Universal option which I am not seeing in your current screenshot.
If you install Windows 8.1 SDK then you might get Basic Page template option. But for windows 10 SDK you can use Template10 add it as nuget package which already contains these navigation related boilerplate codes.
Not sure it this is the right place or how to describe my problem. I have a brand new windows 10 and installed Office 2016. Now when I want to develop something in VBA in Excel or Word and I add a UserForm the icons in toolbox which represent the controls to use on the form are too small. The strange thing is, when I first added a form, the toolbox windows was hardly visible (first image). Does anyone know what the problem is? Or better how to solve it.
I had the same issue with SQL Management Studio. Same odd behaviour. Luckely today I stumbled upon a solution which works perfectly for SMSS. So I guess I can try it voor VBA as well.
SMSS solution
This is a nice workaround, but it is not needed anymore, because MS has an updated version available for SMSS which you can find here
Anyway, I know now what the issue is, so I can try this workaround for other applications too.
I've been thoroughly looking for a combobox alternative to use for Windows Phone development for a full 24 hours now. The best i've found so far was this
,which is perfectly fine, but i'm really looking for something to work with in Vb.net.
PS: I'm using Visual studio 2010 as my code editor
Anticipated thanks :)
The List Picker is the best alternative to a ComboBox.
You can get the List Picker by installing the Toolkit update: http://silverlight.codeplex.com/releases/view/55034
It doesn't matter whether you use VB or C#. The Listpicker is basically a control in XAML, in the design view.
The only difference would be the Databinding syntax in your code view.
I have create a project with one main form window and also i have to use a number of other forms as well.
now i want to open these other forms inside the main window and not outside.
I'm using Visual Studio .NET 2010 as developing environment.
is there anyone who can assist me on this?
Thanks
You should use MDI child forms. Tutorial can be found here.
It has been existed since VS 2003 even in VB6. It should be available too for VS2010 (I have not tried VS2010 myself).
How do you create custom chrome for a windows form in vb.net using Visual Basic 2008 express? I want to basically scrap what they give and start fresh, is there any way to do so easily?
I figured it out eventually. In the properties window with the form itself chosen, FormBorderStyle from "Sizable" to "None" will remove all built in chrome, therefore leaving me to go make my own. Resizability and moving may be a bit tough as I will have to code that myself, but this is an easy way to strip the chrome.
