How to test a dialog

[Alek Davis]

Hi,

Cannot find the dialog preview button in the form design mode (VS.NET 2003,
C#). I mean the option similar to MFC's (VC++ 6.0), which lets you quickly
open the dialog you are currently designing, so you can see what it looks
like without the grid lines and using default properties. Is it available?
Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

Alek

That's not available any more.

Thanks for response Herfried. At least I know I am not losing my mind (makes
me wonder, though, why such a handy feature was eliminated).

I think it would be easy to develop an add-in for that...
