Example SplitContainer code contains errors

[sminhinnick]

Hi,

In the page's code example I think splitContainer2 should be splitContainer1, in the following code:

// Set properties of first SplitContainer control.  
splitContainer1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;  
splitContainer2.TabIndex = 1;  
splitContainer2.SplitterWidth = 4;  
splitContainer2.SplitterDistance = 150;  
splitContainer2.Orientation = Orientation.Horizontal;  
splitContainer2.Panel1.Controls.Add(this.listView1);  
splitContainer2.Panel1.Controls.Add(this.richTextBox1);  

Please make the correction, thanks.

Regards,

Hello @sminhinnick when looking at this I also spotted some other errors. I've transformed the article away from the old style of "creating a form from scratch and building controls via code" and now I'm just describing what settings you need per control to generate the UI.

I've also added a screenshot that shows what the UI looks like:
