Visual Studio 2010 with reportviewer -
overlapping elements texboxes, rectangles, pictures PROBLEM.
I need a form that contains small fonts and fields with colored background. The only way to do it I see placing textboxes over frames or over pictures. It does not work.
If I use body background to display an empty form, it gives me only quality of 96 dpi which is not enough to ptint this background properly.

I have created a report using Visual Studio 2017 and made some of the columns in vertical alignment and uploaded RDL file at reporting services to run the report at work application.
When I run the report at Test environment the report displays the vertical fields into Horizontal, however when I print to view the report vertical text remains the same.
How can I make the report to display the fields that I have designed in vertical?
Any suggestions with the above will be highly appreciated.
Try this:
In tablix properties, Make the Writing Mode as Horizontal.
In a Reporting Services paginated report, you can rotate a text box in different directions:
1.Horizontally
2.Vertically (rotated 90 degrees, with text reading from top to bottom, except East Asian text characters)
3.Rotated by 270 degrees (text reading from bottom to top).
Because you rotate the text box not the text, the rotation applies to all the text in the text box. You cannot specify different directions for parts of the text. Size the column width and the row height manually to accommodate the rotated text.
The WritingMode property, which you use to specify text orientation, isn't in the Text Box Properties dialog box. It's in the Properties pane and set the property there.
I am using Microsoft rdlc for making report and need to add background image to the textbox but it shows part of the image (I know I can just make an image of smaller resolution but I need this one because of the resizing).
I can't find anything for scaling.
Here at work I have been relegated to working on an old 4:3 monitor. The application I am working on in VB.NET (VS 2008) has several forms and controls that are sized to a specific height and width. They look fine on my monitor, but when I recently released a Beta for Users to try, the users that had widescreen monitors had stretched dialog forms and stretched controls on those forms. Is there a form property to set, or a programming technique to use, in order for the form and all of it's controls to display EXACTLY to the width and height specified?
I ended up fixing the problem myself by setting the .AutoScaleMode of the form to "None", and setting all my fonts to use pixels instead of points.
Unfortunately, this was not an issue of code, but rather of design. Sure, it's easy enough to post code snippets, but if I need to post a whole windows form application that's another story altogether.
I am running Visual Studio 2010 Professional (10.0.40219.1 SP1Rel) with no updates showing in Windows Update. When I drop a TextBox control into a Split Container panel, make it Multiline, then Dock in Parent = Fill, it shrinks down to 1 pixel wide and disappears. Of course, at runtime it is invisible.
Is this a bug? Is there a fix? I actually don't need text input - what I want is to display text in a resizable panel, with scroll bars. I could perhaps put code on the events (SizeChanged, SplitterMoved, SplitterMoving...) but that's an ugly solution. Is that the only one?
Apparently I didn't realize I had put a Flow Layout container inside the Split Container panel. This was preventing it from filling the panel.
First and foremost, please forgive me but my screenshots are in French due to my Windows installation at work. It is still very easy to understand though. I'll include screenshots to make it more visually appealing.
Here's some background information:
Windows 7 64bit
Visual Studio 2010
Default display is 100%
AutoScaleMode: DPI
AutoSize: True
My application is a windows form that was developped in a default (small - 100%) display. Like so:
As you can see, the "Petite" or Small display is the default selection.
Small Display - 100% (default)
Here is how my application looks with this setting. This is the correct display
Medium Display - 125%
The red rectangles point out the unwanted empty space.
I have tried:
Anchoring / Docking my controls such as my split containers, table layout panels, list views on Form_Load and via the UI. This didn't work.
Adding a split container to the form, and all controls respectively separated into it
Adding Table layout panels, where all textboxes and buttons are located in their respective cells
I really thought it was having a scaling problem because of the anchoring and docking. Although that didn't seem to be the problem ... What seems to be having trouble is the Tab Control and Listviews ...
Some users (most) have their settings as the default (100%) but there are a few who have it at a Medium setting, causing this scaling issue. Is there a way to fix this?
I cant see your screenshots or links for some reason so I cannot visualize the problem. If scaling is the problem, try setting AutoScaleMode to None.
I recently had to do this because my winform app was image intensive and it would not render correctly on Medium Settings because I built it using the default Small Settnigs display. Changing scale mode to None worked for me.
I fixed my issue by putting the tab controls and list views in a tablelayoutpanel. Everything that wasn't scaled properly had to be put inside a TableLayoutPanel. I kept my AutoScaleMode to DPI and AutoSize to True
Be sure to dock everything in their parent containers.
Here's the document outline for the more visual (like me):
Just click on the form and go to property pane. Find the Anchor element and click the dropdown. You click on all the lines in the square structure to become grey. Then click enter. Problem resolved.
