Been happy with Windows 11 myself even since first release in 2021, sure it hasn't always been perfect, but nothing is per say.. Issues i did have was minor ones, which is normal with any OS really. I still use Windows 10 at times on my unsupported Gaming Laptop, and i find myself using the Windows 11 Desktop more. Eventually replacing Gaming Laptop with a Windows 11 Compatible one somehow, someway this year or possibly next year at the latest, but its gonna happen--(May save all my Bing reward points except the 1000 to have extended support for 10) then work on getting quality Replacement hard) -

Geez, this is dumb. I use my laptop sometimes in the dark when doing astrophotography to control my astro-PC... this explains why I have to keep entering my PIN when logging back in. So stupid. I can't see the keyboard in the dark, and I can't have lights everywhere to light it up because everything is very light sensitive (including my eyes!). -

Naturally. I don't care about brand loyalty at all as it's all about price/performance/reliability etc (even what RejZoR said below is a great point to). basically bang-for-the-buck. because at the end of the day... one wants the cheapest possible price to maintain a certain minimum level of performance (or thereabouts). because generally after a certain point with CPU and GPU's the price starts to sky rocket without that much difference in performance where it really matters. p.s. historically I have bought more Intel CPU's and NVIDIA GPU's but I have had some AMD CPU's and one AMD GPU. -

Both of these companies as well as Qualcomm and Apple need competition. Otherwise, they just coast. I don't prefer macOS, though I like some of Apple's hardware, but if anyone needs competition, it is Apple. Their prices are already outrageous and they need to have a reason to produce good hardware and at least keep prices remotely reasonable. (It is criminal what they charge for RAM upgrades especially.) Qualcomm needs to push AMD and Intel not to be so sloppy with the performance/efficiency aspect. Granted, AMD has been doing quite well in this respect considering they are not an ARM architecture. I personally want to have more options that truly compete with Macbook Air and Macbook Pro's on the Windows side. It is difficult to achieve what Apple does since they control the entire stack and that is fundamentally different for Windows PCs other than maybe Microsoft Surface PCs. -

Question

Hi,
This is a known and previously reported problem and promised to be fixed in the "NEXT" version of Visual Studio over and over again. What we need is all developers racking up to the issue I created at Microsoft Connect and start pushing the number of approvals high enough so the VS team can get off their ass and fix this things once and for all.
Come on guys, go to the issue and vote for it to be fixed and confirm that you can reproduce this bug.
Microsoft Connect : http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/552017/visual-inheritance-of-a-toolstrip
I am trying to create an infrastructure library to be used by all my projects where one of the project in that library contains the base forms for different things like ViewBase, EditBase, SearchBase & DialogBase. They all are inherited from a Base form which contains a toolstrip control with 3 common buttons for OK, Close & About.
Now depending on the type of base form I would like to add few more buttons and controls on the toolstrip during the design time. For example the SearchBase would have a Search, Clear buttons and so forth and so on.
It it worth noting that I change the modifier of the toolstrip to Protected. None of the inherited form allows me to add a new button or anything on the toolstrip. So I made the modifier public and the same behaviour. All the properties of the toolstrip control are disabled. Why is this? This is kind of a show stopper as I can't rely on the standard controls provided and have to look for third party controls.
Steps to reproduce this.
Create a new blank solution
Add a new project of type class library
Delete the default Class1 file
Add a Windows Form named "FormBase"
Add a ToolStrip control on the form and set the modifier to "Protected"
Add a button and a label (Don't have to but this is for visual testing)
Compile the solution
Now add an Inherited Windows Form named "FormSearchBase" and inherit it from the "FormBase"
I have posted this to Microsoft Connect as a bug but if it gets more support and approval then there is a higher chance of it being fixed.
Cheers :)
