editing the dnn:pagingcontrol - dotnetnuke

I want to edit the ascx file for the pagingcontrol because it appears like this:
paging control
Notice the "Page 1 of 4" and the "First..." sticks together, and it is really annoying to look at. But when i tried to look for the pagingcontrol file to try to edit it, I cannot find it anywhere.
I read somewhere that there is supposed to be a pagingcontrols file in the controls folder but it is not there for me.
How can i edit the pagingcontrol file?
Thanks.

I would recommend using CsS to style this. Changes to the default controls is a breaking change and would be lost with an upgrade.

Is there a file like the designer.cs from WinForms in WPF?

I should recreate MineSweeper in either WinForms or WPF (homework). I wanted to learn something new, so I started my project as wpf. I want to welcome the player as he starts my program, so I added another window (wpf) called "intro". First I added a TextBox, but now I'm using a Label. I deleted the textbox, but I still have the error "CS1061" and I don't know how to fix it. I thought maybe I need to delete the old textbox like I would delete an item in Winforms, I'd go into designer.cs, mark the code and delete it. Is there such a file like the designer from WinForms in WPF? -> my guess is that the "old textbox" is still active somewhere. If that's not the problem, can somebody tell me how I can fix this error? Sorry if I made any grammatical mistakes.
In WPF the xaml files have a code behind file. If you expand the MainWindow.xaml in the solution explorer there will be a MainWindow.xaml.cs file.
There may be something in the code behind that is causing your error. Not going to be able to help more without a more detailed error message or a code sample.

Drawing app - the easiest design

Well, I'm a newbie. I'd like to write an app in WPF. The main purpouse will be in drawing predefined elements/objects. Input from user is mostly realized by text boxes - numbers. But I'd like to add some kind of user input into drawing itself too + zooming and moving. Next functionality will be in saving the draw for later loading and another editing (printing maybe, but it's far far away).
I can imagine something like this:
due to some user interaction I'd prefere to use of InkCanvas
i want to define my own elements/objects with some properties. But where it will be define? Some external file maybe?
the save file will be composed of XAML code only
I will study this more lately, but I want to know if my thoughts are in the right way.
Are these points correct, or completely bullshit? :)
Thanks, and sorry for English...
I don't know if this is exactly what are you looking for, but here a little list of advice to help you on reaching your goal:
First of all, if you are crating an application, you should see this before. It explain the Model-View-ViewModel pattern, which is essential when you are creating something on WPF. This can help you abount your 2nd point.
Regarding your save file, i don't know exactly what you have in mind, but it depends on what do you want to save exactly. If you want, InkCanvas have the option to export directly the work in a bitmap . If you need to store some setting, depending on your need you can work with Settings or Resources
InkCanvas seems the appropriate tool for your need. Of course you will have to build your app around this control

Copy pasting WPF window gives error

I realized that VS gives error when we try to copy paste one of the window. The errors are usually of type the method call is ambiguous between InitializeComponet() or other methods. This is because that VS only renames xaml files but not the assciated CS files. I dont know why VS dont handle that. What is better way to copy paste the existing windows, that will not give any error. Or is their any simple workaround? What all other things we need to manually rename?
The VS renames XAML and the associated CS files as well. What it does not do is change the class name and constructor name in the CS file and the x:Class property in the XAML file. If you change these, this would work fine.
I don't think there is a workaround, but I don't think that it is a lot of work either.

Experiences with Xaml Styler?

I just found Xaml Styler and I'd like to give it a try. Can anyone share some experiences with this tool? Is it worth the try? Are there any drawbacks when using it in large teams?
Thanks!
I'm using it daily, and it's quite awesome. It's more than definitively worth a try, and I don't see any drawbacks.
Just make sure that everybody have the same settings, if you choose to divert from the default ones.
I absolutely love the XAML Styler. Though source control issues do happen. If you beautify a XAML document that can mean 1800 lines change if it was really ugly when you did it. If members of your team also have it checked out then they have to resolve 1800 lines of changes. So I recommend you be careful about when and which files you do this with in a team environment.
Trick: It beautifies the XAML page when that is the current tab and you hit [SAVE].
If you don't want the page beautified, then switch to a different tab and choose [SAVE ALL].
This is what I do when other team members have the same document checked out. If I'm the only one, then I do a normal save to make it nice, then check it in ASAP.
After using this tool for some time, I have to say that I don't recommend it because:
Attribute Definition Order Matters, and therefore the behavior might be altered when a XAML page is "beautified". The tool does not offer a setting to exclude attribute sorting. Here's more information on this problem: Silverlight XAML Attribute Definition Order Matters
Source control conflicts are actually a pain and there's no way to "force" the team members to use the tool. It would be nice for example, that the XAML files where styled when saving the file.
Hope it helps someone!
I started using this tool recently-- and I'm a big fan-- but one thing was really annoying me: it automatically formats everything whenever you hit save. I like using the green edit markup next to the line numbers in VS to keep track of where I am in big files. Whenever I hit save, it turns the whole file green.
So protip, if you turn off "Format XAML on save" in Tools>Options>XAML Styler, you can just right click on a file and hit format when you don't need your edit markup anymore.

ExtJS Create a component like editor of stackoverflow

I want to create a component on ExtJS like the editor that have stackoverflow for ask question (only Bold and Emphasis buttons). I think that should be an extension of textarea but i dont know how to select text selected and how to replace with tags+text. Please give me some ideas.
Thanks
Markdown by John Gruber can be obtained from his site. You could use his documentation as a basis for creating your own plugin for the HtmlEditor.
If you're talking about the ability to use asterisks for bullets and such, in that mode StackOverflow's editor uses something called "Markdown".
Here's one example of someone trying to make a markdown-based textarea with preview in Extjs:
http://www.sencha.com/learn/Extension:Ext.ux.MarkdownEditor
If you look around for other Markdown-related editors, you might find some ideas. If you're instead looking for just an "Online Rich-Text Editor" there's plenty of those.
UPDATE 29-APR-2014: There's actually a project you should take a look at. It's called "StackEdit":
https://stackedit.io
It's an open source initiative to supply a markdown editing component. Not ExtJS based, but those who find this question may be interested in what they are doing it.
(I discovered it through one of SO's open-source-recruiting sidebar campaigns; advertising can be useful, apparently.)
