Since I've been chatting about acceleration, I figured I'd point out how and where these types of methods could be used to make your life simpler and how sometimes a basic hack will do. The first exercise is going to be taking a NumericUpDown and setting...

Winforms Wizard Series code-updates. Adding full source code drops for VB .NET

I'm not going to convert the articles over, since they aren't really dependent upon the code provided inline to be read. I will be hosting full source dumps in VB .NET for each of the articles though, so you can try this out in VB or take a look at that...

I've gotten to the point where the features I want and the readability of the articles are diverging. The new features I'm talking about are the meta-data storage (the ability to store global properties and information that all panels can access) as well...

WinForm Wizard Series Article 4: Designer support for wizard panels, improved inheritance model, and refactoring the code only wizard panels.

Designer support is the only feature people have asked for in the wizard framework series. Since user's felt strongly enough to request that I add designer support, I figured it wouldn't be that difficult. This latest installment in the series talks about...

Article 3 on WinForms Wizards - Named Navigation: When Duncan links your articles, you know its time to support them.

Well, I was going to wait a week or so before posting this jewel, but what the heck. I'm really excited about the game I have prepared to make use of the WizardController class, so the faster I get through all of the gritty details, the faster I can get...
