View 3 RepliesI use MS visual studio 2010. I did open designer and view the form for the same file A before. But after some small changes, I can no longer view the form designer.vb, but can only view code in designer.vb. Even if I go back to the original source, I still can not open designer!!
The error is: The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following clsses in the file A-The base class BaseClass could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and all that projects have been built.

I moved a project so I could work on it in two places. When I opened the project, I have only worked on it from one computer, my form did not show in the solution explorer so I moved it back. I opened the project and everything was there but I was not able to see my form layout in designer view. The code is there and it builds and looks right but I can't see any of my form components and I need to edit some properties.

View 10 RepliesI'm building a game using the traditional form view on VS2010 and I'm trying to change the colour of a label's text depending on its contents. I believe I've coded that fine, but the problem is that the settings for the label in the designer view pane are overriding my code!Is there a way to disable certain options in the designer view so that my code can work?
View 2 RepliesI am an experienced developer but new to VB and I'm having a problem with viewing a subclassed tabpage in designer view. I have created several classes that are subclasses of TabPage. They display fine when the application is run and I can view the code with no problem.
However, when I want to fine-tune the controls and I go to the View Designer, I get a list of the controls rather than the displayed form. It looks something like this:
<icon>ListBox1 <icon>ListBox2 <icon>BtnAdd <icon> BtnRemove <icon> GroupBox1
I expect I'm leaving something out of my class definition which is as follows:
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Public Class TabPageExample
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.TabPage
Private sTestType As String
Private dTestDate As Date

View 9 RepliesWhat is a standard way to open the Designer (automatically generated) code for a VB file?
As a workaround, I can get to it by searching the entire solution for some keyword that is usually only found in those files: Global, Partial, etc.
In my project, I was first using two ListViews with a few buttons on the side to control actions (add files, remove files, etc). Now, I thought it looked neater if I incorporated those buttons into a ToolStrip, and put the ListViews into a SplitContainer.So I did... One SplitContainer, on the left side a ListView (docked Full) + ToolStrip (docked Top), on the right side exactly the same.
All of a sudden, (it seems to be pretty random), the right ListView (never the left one) seems to jump 'on top of' the ToolStrip. It looks as if the Z-Order changes so that the docking screws up, but after looking at the Document Outline, it is all still fine. The ToolStrip just seems to disappear from view completely. I have no idea where it went.Then, when I select the ToolStrip in the Component bar (what is that called? where you can see the control icons only for controls such as Dialogs etc), it suddenly pops up again, in the right place! And the ListView scales down a bit so everything is correct once again...
As soon as I select another control, the Listview jumps back up and the Toolstrip disappears again...At first I thought well, not really a problem since I can just select the ToolStrip from the component bar... Nope... It seems that the ToolStrip is also hidden during
I thought it was just a one-off bug and deleted the whole SplitContainer to build it up again. Five minutes later, it happened again.I decided to throw away to complete project and go back to a slightly older version (with the Buttons instead of the ToolStrip) and try it again.Nope, same problem! I have tried to reproduce the bug in a clean project, but no luck...
i have datagridview populated with stock code, name and description.And i have docked my datagridview to the bottom. so whenever the form is resized, the bottom section will be occupied completely with the datagridview.But i want to display one extra empty column and multiple empty rows to completely fill in the datagridview.The extra empty column width will be adjusted to the right end side of datagridview.And the no of empty rows will be generated based on how many is required to fill up to the bottomSo that i can create datagridview with full column and row even though some columns or rows are empty.
View 1 RepliesI have been working on an app that was basically a vb6 app but had to be changed and I did it all using VB 2008. works well, great. One of the problems that I had was to work on different groupboxes or frames. Since they are layered on top of each other, working on one frame would mess up the others. Eventually it all went okay. but now if i want to add another item in the menu and hence add another groupbox (or frame) in the same app - it would definitely be a nightmare.

View 9 RepliesYesterday I installed vs2008, installed SP1 all seems well.I have converted a project (from VS2005), it works fine but....When I try and modify any of the forms none of the controls aer displayed on the form.Additionally I have noticed that each form has a formname.designer.vb file, the top few lines of the code in the designer.vb files are;
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
Partial Class frmFullMarketView
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

Then my controls are listed. Do I have to copy the code held in the seperate designer.vb file back to the 'formname.vb' file for all my forms?If so, why does VS2008 create all this extra work when converting forms from vs2005?
Using the new Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition Beta.Created a project, form, controls, etc. Worked great. Love it, compiled perfectly.Saved everything, closed the program, went to bed. Woke up, opened the project, but now CAN NOT open the form (form1.vb) in Designer mode!! I can open the code, it's all there, exactly as I left it, but cannot get back to the designer mode to (easily) add more controls to it!F7 just opens the code, right-click just gives me code option, not designer option.This is amazingly frustrating..

[Code]....
In the form designer, the property "MyColor" will be seen the value as 150, 145, 145. I want to see this value as "NewColor" in form designer. This is the same like ControlDark, ActiveBorder etc. system colors. I want that instead of the color value, designer should show the variable name. The .Net framework also use the above implementation for System Colors and same i want to do.
I copy/paste controls in the projects, then I noticed that there are many controls are listed in designer.vb which actually are not being used. how can I clean these? will it affect the UI performance? or, it does nto matter at all
View 4 RepliesI am working in VB.NET 2010 Framework 2.0.
I don't want to allow some properties from going into form's designer file but the those properties will present on the form(property grid). The behavior of these properties will be same always.
I used the following code:
<DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)>
Public Property GradientBegin() As Color = Color.Red
But the problem I am facing is that -> on the property grid after changing the "GradientBegin" color to other than RED and compiling the program, it is replacing the new changed value to RED again. So I am not able to change the color actually.
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:

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.
