Re: Bug in Windows Forms?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

At the same time I disagree because there are places where windows forms controls for examples, which are part of the framework, contain code that is used only to support the design time. Idealy the design time code is isolated in a separate dll, but in practice this is not always posible. This design time feature may not only be used in VS. Any application can host a designer - example is SharpDevelop IDE. If there is a bug in this code it will show up in VS at design time, but I'd consider this as a bug in the framework.

Ok, here I fully agree with you. But such bugs are not often discussed (if you would make statistics over all the questions here in the newsgroup and compare them with talks like "I use VS.NET" - "OK fine, which version of the .NET Framework" - "2003").

Maybe it's Microsoft's fault, who give away the IDE and build in anything into it. I would prefer a more divided way, a IDE and the Framework. Then ridiculous things as the need of 2 IDEs for 2 different ..NET Framework version would stop... that's just one of the main reasons for me NOT to use VS.NET.


.... before getting too philosophical...
