Mardi 11 septembre 2007 at 18:15, ATTENTION c'est un mardi!
Conférencier: Les Pinter, MVP VB, Boston USA
Sujet: User Controls in VB
Note: Cette présentation sera en anglais

User Controls are one of the best ways to take advantage of inheritance in .NET. Microsoft has included a User Control project type, and offers ways to create user controls throughout the Integrated Development Environment. Surprisingly, the best way to implement most WinForms user controls does not involve User Controls as Microsoft presents them. In this presentation, you'll discover how to create User Controls, how to subclass WinForms controls, and why the two are different.
