It's the only missing tool, though to be honest after a while the forms designer became jsut a repository of elements to be resized / positioned via code. Manually.
Yes it has a steeper learning curve than VB6, but in a world dominated by CSS and HTML+Javashcript new devs are used to manually specify columns, divs and whatsnot.

I've upgraded my laptop to Windows 11 as the office guinea pig - all is going well and nothing has broken with the Adobe Suite, AutoDesk Suite, or any other software used by my coworkers for productive work. I tried to run windows update a week after upgrading, and it's not working. So... I went to the windows update catalog site and something is definitely wrong there.
The SSL certificate is for a site "*.hs.llnwd.net" - very strange for a mega-global-corporation to screw that up. Right? Anyway, I paused updates for a week out of an abundance of caution.

you might have a problem here.. windowsupdate.com doesn't seem to be a microsoft website, I think...
Never mind, I am told it's a fine URL...

That is confirmed to be a MS owned URL (it's a redirect to the official website).
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

oh.. alright, thanks for correction

Looks like either they screwed up something, or there's some kind of attack going on, as I get an Unknown Issuer error.
EDIT: Working URL[^].
Found an MS forum post where they confirm the issue and report they're investigating.

So I was initially happy with the build quality of CUKUSA's machines given the price.
But now that I've gutted the old case, I found out half the fans were dead after a year (I have two long haired cats, in CUK's defense)
That and their cabling was cheap.
Anyway, I just got a thermaltake case. I wouldn't buy it again, but I'm stuck with it now. It doesn't cool as well as I'd like because of the way it was designed, but the mobo sits FLAT like God/FSM intended.

I have this CUKUSA
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900 CPU @ 3.10GHz 3.10 GHz
Installed RAM 64.0 GB
Intel UHD Graphics 630
Windows 10 pro.
No heat problems, yet, but graphics hardware will freeze at times especially
when using google maps or any maps. You have turn power off to recover.
But it was affordable and runs 431 gigaflops using Qwikmark 0.4 freeware benchmark.
Not totally scientific but it is a benchmark.
I wanted a number cruncher and I got that. Been using it about a year.

Check your fans. Make sure they aren't dead.
My machine otherwise has been mostly fine, although I've now replaced the case and the power supply (they weren't damaged, just inadequate for a 2080TI GPU. That's somewhat disappointing, at least in terms of the case. It was a tower. It should have been enough. But the case was poorly designed for holding a large video card, despite being a large case.

I have a mini desktop (6" x 6" x 3") @ 300 watts with only 2 fans. The case fan speed can be adjusted in BIOS. The CPU fan is what it is. I can check op temps in bios, but no other way to determine if it's functioning.
The case fan is clearly in view without opening the case. So far all is nominal. I know I create more heat with my number crunching programs. Fan speed picks up then.
I too have spare fans. BTW if you mount a case fan or power supply fan in front a bigger fan or outside in wind, the fan becomes a DC generator (at least the ones I have). The original power line to fan become the wires you use as a small DC source.

That's funny. I think I'll just use USB power.

i agree. those little motors have magnets in them that's why they can be generators at least my theory

I read this as "half of everyone who bought, loved and advocated the product (a.k.a. fans) were dead after a year" and I was like 
The cats didn't add up though

No, you were right the first time.

Case fans are junk, I've replaced so many over the years.
Always keep a couple of extras on hand.

I need to. The trouble was with my old case you couldn't see them.
Now I have tempered glass on every side except for the rear and the bottom, and all the fans are almost right against the glass because of how the case is designed. If they die I should be able to tell just by looking at the top of my little cubeish glass machine.

I am repeating myself but don't think this got around. you might find this interesting

The original power line to fan become the wires you use as a small DC source. don't remember the amount. Guess you could create a wind farm from surplus computer fans, if you were so inclined.

I've got quite a few fans but probably not enough t9o do much...good eye though!

Not original. I found references to this idea on you tube after I did the post. Heads of many > heads of one most times.

I plan to write a Windows Form app in C# with some complicated GUI to manage all kinds of components.
looking for a Layout engine for windows form, one in open source is in mind...
diligent hands rule....

Is Windows Forms a requirement? From what little I remember about WPF it has its own layout engines.
I might be mistaken though, I'm learning Python just to not get back and relearn C#.

Using panels and docking will be your friend.
WinForms is easy to use and is very good when you need to build complicated forms.
It just is not so good when your form can be resized, which is not a problem for desktop applications
For real desktop applications it will remain my choice, anyday
|

Your first, otherwise you would not ask.
Learn docking.
--edit
Doesn't require an engine. Just requires you to learn.
