I want to develop the application UI much like as VS2010 or any similar UI models. My requirements are as below:
Opening new project will create empty canavs.
When I will do add data sheet it will add new tab page in that.
Remaining few things I will do on that added tab page like showing charts, different types of controls etc.
When I will press 'Save' it will persist whatever there on UI like added tab pages and every controls on it on disk.
When I will open any saved project, It will recreate everything what was there on UI at the time of saving the project.
I will have recently open project list.
Any idea for creating how to create such UI?
Thanks,
Omky
Maybe develop your solution over Visual Studio SDK? A good sample is AddonStudio for World of Warcraft which is customized dev. environment for World of Warcraft addon development based on Visual Studio.
It's quite easy to implement the Visual Studio-inspired UI using DevExpress Docking library for WinForms.

I am trying to create a blazor project on visual studio, because I have a LOT of C# code I could recycle, but I have never used blazor before and therefore have little experience to know what on the default-generated samples (which include weather forecasting and a side nav bar I still haven't figured out how to delete) is completely useless to my purposes and should be deleted.
As such, I'd like to create a blank website. However, VS will not allow me to do so.
Does anyone know how?
Is there any possibility to show our Form without starting debug?
I know there is designer preview, but I want to perform a quick test of form apperance (all of the popups, lists etc.) without building and debugging applicattion. The problem is when I add new form to existing application that has to log-in to external system - which takes time.
You could always build the new form in a separate solution and copy it over once you are happy with its performance/operation. That way you only need to compile the form and not the entire other project w/ login etc...
Based on our project we created several item and project templates which after installation using our installer works perfectly. this was really good step as it avoids spending time on setting up new projects or modules inside our enterprise application. Now we want to move forward and create something similar to the context menu inside visual studio when u click Views or Controls folder inside ASP.NET MVC application and in other types of projects as well (for example when u click your right mouse button on your WPF application, under Add menu u get different items which avoids opening new window where u have to search for item time.
My goal is to create add in or whatever it is called to make it even easier to work with our SDK so for example when developer right-clicks on project we want to have our own menu items under New menu so developers will be able to add OURPROGRAM View, OURPROGRAM view with validation. can anyone assist me with this? or how provide good examples of this?
Look for the Visual Studio SDK documentation on MSDN.
There is an open source Iron Python project which is your best resource.

Also on MSDN there is a walkthru for creating a basic project system.

So far, I found C# on SQL Server impressively easy to develop with (when relying on the IDEs to walk you through completion).
So it comes as no surprise that I expect a feature that may or may not be available with Visual Studio 2010 & SQL Server 2008 Express:
Instead of manually dragging TextBoxes from the ToolBar into the Windows Form, then typing their names, etc. to associate them with a fields/columns in a table... is it possible to tell Visual Studio to automatically populate the form with all columns from a particular table?
If so, how does one accomplishes that?
You need to look at DataBinding to do this easily. Add your database as a new DataSource for your project, then you can drag parts of it to your form.
See here for a tutorial.
Yes it is possible. You may need to explore .Net Reflection a bit, using which you can build dynamic forms application.
Actually there is something similar for Web called LightSwitch (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/lightswitch.aspx)
What is the best approach and/or tool?
The trackBar in the MS Visual Studio 2008 Toolbox is inadequate.
It needs to be optimized for an 800x480 touch screen in extreme environmental conditions.
The button on the trackBar needs to be larger so it is easier for the user to move the control using a finger. Its possible with the existing widget, but difficult since the button is small. I am using C# in MS Visual Studio 2008, but don't know if it is WinForms or WPF (this is my 1st C# project). The target is an old windows-ce tablet. It would be great if step-by-step instructions on how to create a custom control already exist. An alternative would be a tool I could purchase.
Here are a couple tutorials on creating custom controls:

Using WPF

It might be a good idea to read up on the basics, then ask more specific questions that you have regarding the nuances of creating a custom control.
