I know that in Windows Form Application you can inherit a Form and in ASP.NET u can inherit a page but some big constraint exist: ASPX page is not compiled in the library.
I tried to embed a User Control in DLL but Design Time is not supported, also I tried to make a Custom Server Control but in the end you are inheriting a control not Page.
So the question is what is the way to make your own library of Template Pages that u can inherit and use in different projects with design support .
Thanks in advance
Creating Reusable Page template
Here I've shown how to Create a reusable page template. To use your template in your another website or project you have to right click on the project Add -> New Item. Add New Item dialog box will appear. You can use the Search Installed Templates option and search your template or you can click on Visual C# tab on left panel of the dialog box and find your Template.
Note : Your Template might not appear if you click on Visual C# -> Web on Add New Item dialog box. Rather you have to search it in Visual C# tab.

I'm new in C#, and I'm trying to use a design I made in a form and put it inside the other one. In Java this is possible with Scene builder. You just press include and choose your FXML file. Is there any way to do that in Visual Studio??
You can do this.
The word is User Control. Drag and drop everything to your newly created User Control , then after you made it, you can choose it later from the Tool box in Visual Studio, and also can use Drag and drop your User Control like any other tool to existing forms.
You are probably looking for UserControl.
Is there any way to do that in Visual Studio??
Yes there is, you can use a UserControl if you are targeting Winform. Similar exists for WPF as well.
I just started learning asp.net, I want to put a textbox in my gridview control to let the user input whichever page the user wanna go instead of click First/Prev/Next/Last buttons.
Within the gridview control pagersetting mode, I can't find an option to create this kind of function. Is there a way to do this in ASP.net?
Start Visual Studio -> File -> New Project -> Web -> ASP.NET Dynamic Data Entities WebApplication
In solution explorer expand Dynamic Data -> Content folder
There is an awesome user control called GridViewPager.ascx:
Add it to your project and specify it as the PagerTemplate in the GridView:
<PagerTemplate>
<asp:GridViewPager runat="server" />
</PagerTemplate>
You may need to tweak the user control slightly to work for your specific project but this should give you a good start
Its called paging. This will show you how to implement paging. I know its not ASP.NET but the C# code the methods are the same. As they explain you need to use a data adapter to create the pages the viewer will see.
Hope this helps you!
I've created a screen in compact framework using the form editor, is there a way I can grab this screen or at least some components of it and use them in multiple places in the compact framework app?
Yes, tcarvin is right, just create a user control and then reuse this in your compact framework application as often as you need.
To start right click in VS on the project name in solution explorer:
In the popup menu click Add and then UserControl. Accept or change the file name for the user control and then you are looking at the empty user control:
You can now resize the user control canvas and then place other controls as buttons, labels, textboxes etc. on it:
You can then also enter code for button events etc. In the example one can add code to use openfiledialog to select a file and the filename will then displayed in the textbox.
When you are ready, you have to build your solution to get an updated control list on the left in visual studio. Back to a window form design view, you can then place your usercontrol:
Is that simple?
You can also build a library with user controls and then reuse your controls in every compact framework project where you reference the library.

It sounds like you need to look at UserControls. They let you create add one or more controls to a surface (the UserControl), and then you can add that UserControl to as many forms in your application as you want.
i am building a C# application, i have explored its all controls but i cant find the left menu style which i usually see in software applications for example visual studio, i am attaching the image of what i need.
Please let me know how can i use it in my forms. I have used a tab menu control in visual studio, but it is not what i required, its tabs are vertical, but i want the exact like i shown in attachment. I think it requires some reference to add.
I don't think that control is available, which means you would have to make one yourself. Here is a link from someone that made one. I haven't tried it: Visual Studios "My Project" Tab Control
There is no such a control in the ToolBox by default. But you could create one for you.
Creat a user controller.
Added a SplitContainer and set Dock.Fill.
Add a FlowLayoutPanel to the Left panel. Add buttons or labels as you wish and implement the click event.
I plan to add functionalities to TextBox with the following:
public class TextBoxExt : TextBox
{
protected override void OnKeyPress(KeyPressEventArgs e)
{
base.OnKeyPress(e);
}
}
The question is how can we use this TextBoxExt? Is there anyway to get this class onto the ToolBox so that we can just drag and drop it onto the form? If not, what is the best way to use the TextBoxExt?
I believe there are a couple of ways to get your control to appear in the toolbox:
The project it's in must be included in your open solution and the project must have been compiled/built into an assembly. This is the route to go if you're working on the control and a project that uses the control at the same time (e.g., building the solution will also re-build the control's project).
You can right-click the toolbox to add new items... in the resulting dialog, you can browse to the assembly containing the control and add it that way (or add it to the GAC, in which case you can pick it right from the list without browsing). This is the route to go if the project containing your control won't be a part of your solution and you're dealing only with the compiled DLL (e.g., building the solution doesn't re-build the control's project).
There is an another simple option to add a control into Toolbox is,
Create a new toolbox tab in the VS Toolbox. Say for e.g. "My Own Control".
Drag the assembly which has your control into the newly created tab and drop it.
You can see your control added in your Toolbox.
Main advantage of this method is, if you have more than a control in your single assembly, you do not need to search in the Add Components dialog and choose them. VS will do it for you and will add all those automatically in Toolbox.
Hope this helps.
Just compile your application - TextBoxExt should then show up in your Toolbox (you'll see it at the top, whenever you have a form designer open), and you can drag it onto your form.
The key here is probably to have a form designer open - otherwise, you won't see your custom user control in the toolbox.
