Finding empty label in Windows form - winforms

I am new to Windows Form application and trying to build a small application.
I had dragged and dropped a label on the main form.
Then I deleted its text property to empty string basically hiding the label.
Now I would like to move this label to some other location on the form but unable to do so because I cannot find it.
I checked the designer file and its there.
But I cannot find it in the form so that I can grab it and move to a different location.
Please help.
Thanks

Use Document Outline. Look at the following images.

That happens to me several times, and a few weeks ago I found a way to get the empty label like this:
On the tab "Properties" just click on the arrow to show all controls and click on the label you want, this will automatically select the label on your form..

Polarion description field broken on some work item type

For some reason, one of the work item type has a broken description field. When creating a new work item 'Requirement' in a document, opening the item, then clicking edit, the description box seems to drop down a bit but the rich text options etc are not shown and we can't change the text either.
Creating other work items doesn't cause this behaviour. Also tried in various browser just in case and various users. I've checked the Form Layouts but can't see what's wrong with this one.
Anyone having any suggestions?
Polarion hast a configuration for read-only-fields.
Check if this file contains configuration to protect these fields.

SSRS : how to add an icon with a data region

My aim is to have the icon , combined with the results of my dataset
I'm adding an icon in my textbox. The textbox is part of a table , within a list.
Then I put the name of the image plus the name of my dataset (as you can see below)
"mailsocialmedia128" + Fields!MyFieldname.Value
Issue is the icon is only appearing when the dataset is empty. But when the dataset is not empty , I have a ... red cross (see picture below).
How can I have the icon and the data related , inside of the text box?
Thanks in advance for any insights you will be able to provide
Rather than trying to achieve all of this in a single text box, you can instead create multiple objects within the area.
Right click the text box and select Insert -> Rectangle
You can then insert both a Text box to display the text and a separate Image control to this area, and one won't affect the other.
It could look something like this in design view
And like this in preview
Let me know if this is helpful, or if you require further assistance

Trigger when application is not active

I have an application(Winform, TAB based MDI application), now we are adding few features. These Features are developed in WPF. A new form contains Element host, which will host this WPF User control. This newly added Form is displayed in every Tab's one corner. When application minimizes/Maximizes events are trigger, through these I am able to show or hide this new form. Also, this new form's Topmost Property is set true.
But when main form is still showing and when another application(like a note pad) is opened, the newly added form displayed over this notepad. The new form supposed to go behind the notepad, but it is always top.
Any suggestion on how to send it back.
Thank you,
Selected answer from
Detect when application becomes active post solved my problem.
I am also capturing
main.Deactivate += new EventHandler(main_Deactivate);
Thank you.

change the ajax progressbar of dotnetnukes

Is there a way to change the default ajax progressbar that is there in dotnetnukes.
Its not for changing the image but i would like to use an altogether different progressbar. The current one displays the progressbar at the bottom of the section. The requirement to replace it with one covering the entire section or part of it. The section has a search criteria on top and the results below. The progressbar needs to appear above the criteria so that the user will not change it while the search is going on.
That's the animated image you can replace with your own if you have one.
Agree with #DangIT, you can find the gif with name progressbar.gif in images folder in the root of dnn installation. just delete it, and place another image with the same name will do the trick for you

Show a single item of sample data in SketchFlow running project

I am building a prototype in SketchFlow using a sample data set. When I run the project I can see lists of values no problem but anywhere I have used details mode to display a single record the running project is blank. The data is displayed within Expression Blend (it picks the first record in the set) - the only thing I can think of is that the binding needs to refer to a specific record but I can't see where to set that.
I found the example in this tutorial works fine:
http://blogs.msdn.com/canux/archive/2009/06/29/mini-tutorial-blend-3-visual-data-binding.aspx
Create your sample data source
Click on the 'list' mode button above the data source (in the 'data' tab)
Drag field(s) onto a list view for the list selection
Click the 'details' mode button above the data source (in the 'data' tab)
Drag the other field(s) onto the area where you want to display the details
Voila! it works! Or, at least it works on my box ; )
OK, I found a clunky answer. You can put a linked master control on the page with the relevant default value and then collapse it so it's not visible. Does the job but not particularly elegant.
