How can I navigate between forms
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
So, I'm new to Visual Studio and I'm trying to make a simple multi-page WinForms program in Visual C#. How do I change the "page" that the program is displaying like a normal program does? So far the best I can do is close/hide one Form and open another in its place.
WinForms doesn't have a notion of "pages". That mechanism was made popular later on the windows client, with WPF. One could argue that WinForms apps are more normal than the rest. ;)
One thing you could do to simulate it, would be to make your "pages" in UserControls, and then add/remove them from the form dynamically.

As you can see that the program is not sharp while the one in the visual studio is sharp and clear. Please help me out as i couldn't find solution to this online.
It's due to re-sizing of your windows form. So more you enlarge the window the images becomes blurred. you can embed this resource in your project and correct few properties for that image.

I couldn't find the answer Also I looked at stack overflow pages.
Does your application require a user interface? If not, you should really be creating a console application rather than a Windows Forms or WPF Application.
If you simply want to hide a form from within the form you can type the following:
this.Hide();
Edit:
From a console application, you'll want to compile the project as a Windows Forms application under the project properties. Ensure that you have no startup object selected.

How do I run a Python script from C#?
(9 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am completely new to Visual Studio and C#, so I apologize in advance if this sounds like a dumb question. I am trying to develop a Windows Forms Application such that when I click a button, a Python script is run, performing data analysis on some files, with the eventual goal of displaying that data as a graph on the Windows Forms Application after the button is clicked.
My question is: how do I get the python script to run when the button is clicked from the Windows Forms Application?
Yes, it is possible.
You can create a process that runs python shell.

Using a custom WPF control in WinForms
(1 answer)
Closed 8 years ago.
I've downloaded this user-control which is developed in WPF, but I would like to know if exists the chance to use the dll in WF (the dll where is the user-control), of course sadly if I try to add the control in the ToolBox doesn't appears for WF projects, only for WPF.
I've found this article in MSDN that describes that WinForms controls can loaded in WPF projects
· Hosting a Windows Forms Control in WPF
So, it can be done the reversed thing to use an WPF control in a WF project?
Just set the .Child property to your WPF control.

Windows Forms Application C# Style
(2 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I'd like to add a style to the items I have in some forms, here's the link of my preview question.
This app is developed in Visual C#, a WPF app, I have an .xaml file and 65 windows forms.
I have don't have a problem with any of the styles in the .xaml file, but in the Form.cs file I can't add any styles.
I'd like to have the same button style in both files (.xaml & .cs).
How can I do it? Should I add some libraries? Do I have to add more lines of code to Form.cs? Or should I do everything using the .xaml files?
I've been looking for something like this but I have not found anything.
I apologies if I'm asking silly questions.
winforms doesn't support Styles, nor Theming. It's a really old technology that has not been improved since 2007. it's not recommended for any new projects, only to maintain legacy applications.
Your options are:
redo everything in pure WPF.
Change all winforms UI elements to ElementHosts containing WPF content. This is even worse than redoing everything.
Buy a third party such as DevExpress.
Contact a FreeLancer developer (such as myself) who is willing to re-do all your winforms into beautiful WPF UIs (for profit)
