I am working on an application that will add controls dynamically to a form based on user input.
Because of the lack of Design View Support, assigning the size and coordinates of the controls is incredibly tedious.
To help with this problem, I have created what a I call a “reference form” that is an almost exact duplicate of the screen area as it appears on the TPU.
I can add the form to my project and use it as sort of a scratchpad to place and size controls quickly and get the property values I need without having to go back and forth between Design View and Code View.
The attachment has both .vb and .cs forms.
