Can't Find Windows Form Designer Code
Aug 25, 2010
On a recent project I stumbled across a page of code that looked unfamiliar, but which evidently was the code behind my form design. I'll copy and paste an excerpt to show you what I mean:
'Required by the Windows Form Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer
'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
[code]....
I thought this was a useful way to back up my project via email because it's in text form. But now I can't find the same information. I've looked in the Object Browser but couldn't find it anywhere. I think I stumbled on it the first time by right clicking Go to definition, but now that doesn't take me anywhere if I click on say form1. So where will I find this mysterious page that has all the form items information in text, not graphic form? Can't find it anywhere.

Most of my project was imported from an older version of VB (now I'm using 2008). All of the forms had a "Windows Form Designer Generated Code" that I could expand at the top of the form's code. When I created a new form, that was not there, and I found out that in the solution explorer you can "view all files" and expand the form and look at MyForm.Designer and that has the same type of instantiation code. My question is, is there some way to update the old ones so they too do not have that "form designer generated code" at the top?

I am attempting to update an existing winforms application, that was created with a dataset control on all the winforms pages. I have ported it from VS 2008 to VS 2010 and I need to update the database section and connect it to the SQL backend using traditional code method.In the Solution explorer, when I click on the Dataset files, and click "Exclude From project" I am unable to build the project.Is it advisable to comment out the code lines that refer to the dataset in the .designer.vb files?

I've been working on a project the last couple of day with the help of a lot of you out there. I've more or less finished the design of the interfase, but there are stange this happening with the form. I can say much about what is wrong because I dont understand it, but I would like to. I have added the form Class code and the Designer Code, is that enough or is more required? Theres a msgbox that popup in the form Load event which I placed there to see what I could learn about the GraphicsBuffer.
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.Drawing.BufferedGraphics

In VS2010, targeting Framework 4.0, I have a UserControl which contains a TableLayoutPanel with an empty second row.Is it possible to add items to this second row using the Windows Forms Designer, or do I have to do it all via code?
EDIT: In reply to Hans Passant's comment, the linked question references a UserControl being used inside another control.I am asking a question about inherited controls.I have created the following test code, where TestControl is a UserControl containing a TableLayoutPanel named "TableLayoutPanel1":
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Windows.Forms.Design
<Designer(GetType(testDesigner))>[code]....
creates a control which, when viewed in the designer, contained a TableLayoutPanel named "TableLayoutPanel1" which is not designer-editable.Creating a new UserControl, not inheriting from either of the previous UserControls, and then placing a TestControl into it creates an instance of TestControl with a Designer-editable TableLayoutPanel named "TestControl1.TableLayoutPanelX".Is there any way to make the TestInheritedControl class, shown above, Designer-editable?

I have a typed dataset with table adapters. I use this method because it makes it easier to design the layout of my DataGridView.The problem is I have added a new table to my dataset. When I go to the "Data Sources" list view, I can see the new table.However, if I add a new DataGridView to my form then attempt to bind it to my new data table, the table will not show up in the list of tables for that dataset.

Just wanted to know if you had some design code which was created, and that is all you have. Can you open this designer code and create the actual working main Form from this? I don't need this designer code for any specific task, just wanted to know if there is a command within VB Studio 2010 that creates the actual Form from the design code. For example; The following piece of designer code is for a simple program that finds the Circumference of a Circle.

I though I had solved this problem, but it is back:Code generation for property 'SelectedPeople' failed. Error was: 'Type 'ECS.Entities.Persistency.Person' in Assembly 'ECS, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' is not marked as serializable.'The property on the error message is a List(Of Person) and for some reason it trigger this error, for almost anything I do, and its getting really anoying.Okanswering to the answers here is a little more information about the problem.
Yes it is during design time, it happens bascially anytime a open a form that has a UserControl that contains the Selected property in it, sometimes it happens even if I don't have focus on the form, also if I try to compile/run it happens and the message come in the form of a Message Box with just a OK, ECS.Entities.Persistency.Person is just a LINQ to SQL Generated Class, this should not matter at all to the problem, although I have added the attribute before the posting.he reason that this happens is because the Designer attempts to put the property on the Property Panel, and for that to happen, serialization happens.tryed to hide the property from the designer by using this attributes.
<DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)> _
<Browsable(False)> _
Public Property SelectedPeople() As List(Of Person)

I am making a TabStrip control to hold a number of tabs just like TabControl, but only with the tabs, no page. The control has a "Tabs Collection", which stores a list of "Tab" class. "Tab" is not inherited from Control, but each tab has its events. So when the user add a "Tab" in the "Tabs Collection", each "Tab" instance should have a (Name) identifier, which user can access it in the code, and with WithEvents keyword so users can add event handlers to each "Tab". The expected out come should similar to this:
Friend TabStrip1 As TabStrip
Friend WithEvents t1 As Tab
...
Me.TabStrip1.Tabs.Add(t1)

THis is my error: The designer cannot process the code at line 25: Me.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified.

I am currently working on an existing Windows Forms application (VB.net), and am busy reworking the exception handling mechanism.Currently, a lot of methods in the code are just surrounded with try/catch block that catches a generic exception and then calls a utility method that just shows the user a messagebox informing him of the error, and then logging it.So in a lot of cases no corrective action is taken and the exception is just logged. I know this probably isn't the best way but that's they way we're gonna have to do it for the near future.Anyway, I wanted to do this in a more generic way, so I hooked up Application.ThreadException and AppDomain.UnhandledException.
This seems to work well, except for one inconvenience. Whenever an error gets thrown from the .net runtime itself, or a 3rd party control, the stacktrace begins there where the exception is thrown in the framework-methods or 3rd party methods (obviously!)But it would be handier if I had an easy way of finding out exactly where these exceptions cross the boundary into my code. I would like an easy way of determining (in Application.ThreadException) where in my own code an exception originated. am aware this information is contained in the Exception.StackTrace property, but I would like an easy way to get to this specific information seeing as the stacktrace property is one huge string.

In my project, I have a local dataset (XSD) that I am using as local-temporary tables. I am getting a System.InvalidCastException when trying to access the field in one the tables. I believe this is because I my code is (incorrectly) not setting a field's value in a row before trying to access it.My problem is that the exception is breaking in the designer file and not in my code. As a result, I'm having difficulting determining which line of my code reading the field value before it has been set. Is there any way to configure Visual Studio to break in my code instead of in the designer created file?

In my winforms project, some of the forms have a set of ContextMenuStrips defined on them (through the visual studio designer).Some of these contextmenustrips have been attached to controls, but others have not.Now my problem is this: I need to go through all of the ContextMenuStrips at runtime, whether they are attached or not.I've got some code that will recursively go through all controls and check the ContextMenuStrip property and this works fine.... However I can not get to the ContextMenuStrips that haven't been assigned to a control yet.

I have a class that inherits the Windows Forms Combobox.The class should do extra work when items are added, but there is no such event.Therefore, I have added methods to add and clear items, which do the extra work.To avoid developers accessing the Items directly and adding to them, I have overloaded the Items property to throw an exception.This all works fine, except in the VS designer. The designer tries to access the Items property, gets the exception and shows an error.Is there a defined constant for when the VS designer compiles the code? This seems like it would be best suited to the task.

I need some assistance again. In my previous posts, I asked about a good book to start learning how to us VB 2008.I had numerous replies, so I thought starting with Visual Basic 2008 would be a great start.As I am reading the book everything had mad sense up to Chapter 4. It's a simply program, and I thought I understood everything, until the middle of the chapter. So here's where I need help, and someone to explain my error.The author explains to place a Label & DateTimePicker onto the form, which I did. I renamed the label to NextWeek and DateTimePicker1 to DateChooser.Furthermore, I proceed to double click on DateChooser, which VB provides certain code automatically.[code]
After a few pages of reading, the author stated to put the following code under
Inherits class definition.[code]I went on and put the remainder of the code, which similar to the following:[code]The designer cannot process the code at line 51:Me. AutoScale Dimensions = New System.Drawing.SizseF(6.0!,13.0!)The code within the method 'Initilze Components' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.

We've recently upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010. The conversion of our vb.net Windows Forms app went well, but we're now having big problems with the forms designer.retty much any change to the layout of a form (sometimes just a solution rebuild) will work once, but on recompile, the IDE designer refuses to display the form, the error message being a null-reference exception (with no details as to what).Closing and restarting VS2010 will cure it, but only for one compile cycle - and it's obviously not practical to close and reopen every time. Closing and reopening the form does not fix it.

Well I'm working on a kind of GameGuard for my private server. Ok so, I want to loop a code, I dunno if I should use Console or Windows Form Application...I dont know how to explain but I'll try doing my best to make this understandable. Ok so I want to make something that will loop this code until the console itself is closed. This code below would simply kill the windows name "Cheat Engine" program if its opened.[code]But If I use a console application, How can I make this code loop every 5 second or so? What would I need to add in this simple code to make it loop every 5 seconds and until the console is closed?
