Hello Admins. I've been using Visual Studio Express 2012 to develop a large Windows Forms application for Windows 7 and Windows 8 desktop, which is now completed. I learned many "Hints and Tips" that may be useful to other people. Some cover using Windows Forms .NET 4.5. objects such as DataGridView, ListBox and DataTable in fairly advanced ways, including some of the possible pitfalls. Other hints and tips cover configuration of the Visual Studio Express 2012 environment itself, with some things I found really useful but which are not well documented or covered in Help. I'm not sure where in the forum to post these "Hints and Tips", or even if these would be welcomed by the community here. Please could forum Admins reply and let me know about this? There are aspects of the "point and click" functionality which I developed which link together a Listbox, and multiple DataGridViews bound to DataTables in such a way that the use can easily navigate and search just using point and click. I'm willing to write a tutorial on this. If you want it on this forum, please give me guidance on how you would like it presented e.g. with either video examples or screen shot examples. Also I cannot for some reason send a private message to Admins at the moment, maybe due to insufficient privilege on my account. Can this be "fixed" because I would normally send a question like this by private message? Also I can not enter any line breaks when using the WYSIWYG editor, is there some workaround for this? Thanks, Rob.
