Best Practices -
When implementing controls best practice follows
setting a control's Properties, Events and
Methods (PEM's) in code. This makes
upgrading the controls down the road a fairly
simple and straight forward process.
If setting a components PEM's at design time has
been a coding norm, using the custom and stock
Microsoft property pages with the new 64-bit
controls will be different. |
