I'm following online tutorial to learn developing C# program using Visual Studio, and I am struggling with the display difference between my Visual Studio and the Tutor as following pictures, Although I am sure that I've set all the font format to the same :
Tutors' View:
enter image description here
My View:
enter image description here
My question 1 :
How can I display the whole form in a view? It's hard to arrange some layout when you have to scroll up-and-down to see the rest part of the form.
My question 2 :
Why is my view different to the tutors'? Is there something different in the Visual Studio between ours? Where can I set the parameters?
I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.9.1 and Windows 10
Thanks!
I've tried:
Ctrl + Scroll mouse wheel to room out, but failed, nothing happened.

There must be a way to do this, because switching between different themes changes the colour of the borders in the results grid. But I want to customise it for one of themes I'm currently using. (Which I know is possible based on this question.)
The only reference I can find in Microsoft's documentation is this page for Visual Studio Code:
https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/theme-color
...but seeing as the results grid is an Azure Data Studio feature, there's nothing in there talking about it.
Anyone have any thoughts??
Visual Studio 2012 LightSwitch gives you a default of 5 or 6 screens such as: search, create new, etc..
I would like to create a very basic custom navigation/main menu screen. All this screen would contain is literally 6 vertical buttons in a maximized window (For starters and for simplicity of the question) and each button would pop up another screen.
Is there anything resembling the drag-and-drop of a regular Visual Studio 2012 application? I would basically like to create a new Screen Template called: "Navigation Menu" or something similar.
Thanks, DM.
You can only create a new Screen Template by creating a LightSwitch Screen Template Extension.
However it's not really a job for the faint hearted. I've created a number of extensions over the past couple of years, & I regard the Screen Template Extension to be the hardest to do. I understand what goes into designing a Screen Template. It can be quite code-intensive, depending on what you want the template to create for you. I have a couple of screen templates that I want to create for my own needs, but I keep putting them off.
I don't want to put you off, just give you a heads up about what you're in for, if you do decide to create your own screen template extension.
One question though. Are you wanting to reuse this screen, either in the same application, or in other applications? If ther answer is "no", then creating a screen template extension would be overkill.
If you're only wanting one of these screens, to do what you described, all you have to do is add a RowsLayout control to a screen, then add one RowsLayout controlfor each navigation "button" that you want on the screen. Use the Add Button context menu option (right-click the RowsLayout control) to add a button. Set the size etc to what you want, & set the RowsLayout controls Horizontal Alignment setting to Center.
The buttons won't be all that "sexy", they'll just be larger versions of the same buttons that you'll see anywhere else in the application (except for size, if you decide to change that). The main advantage is that you can do it, quickly, & out of the box.
Or you could do something like in this article, Course Manager VS 2012 Sample Part 6 – Home Screen, if you want to improve the look of the screen.
I have some reports with many records. Those records have images. They were coming from a .NET Dataset object.
I was initially making the approach of getting the images' contents into the records using System.Byte[] Columns, but the reports took up too much time to load.
I did time profiling. It is not the dataset construction that takes too much.
I put on the table the hypothesis of the images being slowing the process.
So I tried a different approach: Instead of having pictures directly into the tables, I have filepaths.
Following the practic described in Crystal Reports User Guide, I inserted a OLE object of "Paintbrush Picture Type" and its Image's Graphic Location was ser to a database table field. Additionally I also defined a file hyperlink to be the same field.
I tried, it didn' t show the image. But clicking the hyperlink was OK.
So I added more two OLE object items in the report for testing: the first's Graphic location and hyperlink have the filepath of the first record's image. It is a .jpg file.
I created additionally a .bmp copy of that image and set the second item's filepaths to point to this image.
Tested again, hyperlinks work Ok, but no images shown directly in report .
When I click Preview on Visual Studio 2010 Crystal Reports designer I can see the images, but not in runtime.
So, what am I missing for the images to show?
additional info:
VS 2010 premium
.Net framework 4
Windows 7 64 bits
Crystal reports is integrated on Visual Studio
Thanks in advance,

After some frustrating times, it seems I have found a solution in 3 easy steps:
Uninstall every component of Crystal Reports for VS 2008
Reopen Visual Studio 2010
Clean & Rebuild Solution
If you are using CR as a component, during runtime you will notice that the top bar of the component is different: the icons have different design and at right it will say "SAP CRYSTAL REPORTS"
Can someone point me to an article or tutorial on using custom controls in Visual Studio Lightswitch? I'm trying to add a rich text box to a page, linked to a string property. When running the app, sometimes the field will show up, sometimes it won't. If it does show the width of the field is small, about 2 characters, but will expand when text is pasted inside. Saving doesn't work, though.
I'm not even sure about whether or not I'm allowed to use controls like these in a Lightswitch app, even though custom controls are obviously supported. Are the custom controls restricted to a certain type or set?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Have a look at the following example, http://lightswitchhelpwebsite.com/Blog/tabid/61/EntryId/10/LightSwitch-Student-Information-System-Part-3-Custom-Controls.aspx
Also the Training Kit has examples of Custome Controls included.
There is also this tutorial:

The form designer in Visual Studio is giving me fits and I'm hoping someone can at least point out what's going on.
The latest incarnation involved a tab sheet with some controls on each of the sheets. Sheets #2 and #3 were done and I was working on #1--when suddenly two controls on sheet #2 vanished in the running program. Some hunting showed that they had their width set to zero--yet they are fine in the designer.
The common factor I have had (I have had other such disappearances) is that the components are invisible when the form is created.
For any given state of the program the behavior is completely consistent but when other controls are created or destroyed the behavior may change.
Do you use Visual Studio's Document Outline Window? It's very useful for visualisation when dealing with complex layouts.
