Simple Designer/Textbox question...

S

SethMW

I just came to the realization that when you copy/paste a textbox (for
example) when creating a new form, the designer basically clones that control
completely, including its binding. I have a form where I did this like 30
times for phone number parts. My question...

Is there a way to paste so it just copies the basic properties, namely size
related properties, like Visual Studio/ASP.Net for example?

Is there an easy way to break this cloning, once it has already happened? I
went in to "Change Binding...", but that seems like it would be more of a
hassle, then re-adding all the text boxes. I'm wondering if there is a
shortcut. I also found that renaming the controls doesn't work either. I did
that a number of times before realizing it was renaming all the controls when
I did that.

Anyway, if anyone has any input on this quirk I would appreciate it.

Thanks,
~Seth
