Functionality is much the same, there is not much a splitter needs/can do. But the new SplitterContainer is much more easier to use. It's not a splitter only, it also contains the 2 "splitted" panels so you just drag it to a form and then place your controls in each of the 2 panels. With the old Splitter you need to drag one control, dock it, drag the splitter, dock it properly and finally drag the second control. And this would not be such a big deal but try changing the splitter from horizontal to vertical or changing one of the "splitted" controls... a pain in the @#$ usually. SplitContainer makes this much more easy. |
