Simple Usercontrol's Designer-generated Code Has Errors In It?
Jul 21, 2009
So I've created a very simple UserControl that is pretty much just a combo box that has US States in it and a couple properties to return the selected value as an enumeration or a string, etc.The enumeration and string values I'm using are being referenced from an external library which is working. However, when I add my user control to another project the designer-generated code has errors in it. [code] I would assume that this probably has something to do with project settings or something similar for the user control. The control itself is in a separate project and compiled as a .dll which has been added to my main project's toolbox and subsequently added to my form. [code]

I created a server control which consist only of fews buttons.
CWNavigation.vb
<ToolboxData("<{0}:CWNavigation runat=""server""></{0}:CWNavigation>")> _
<DefaultProperty("Id")>[code.....
I then referenced it in my ASPX page. Take note that the control are in the same solution, same project located in Commun/Navigation/CWNavigation.vb.
<%@ Register TagPrefix="NAV" TagName="CWNavigation" Src="~/Commun/Navigation/CWNavigation.vb" %>
I added it to the page.
<NAV:CWNavigation ID="CWNavigationService" runat="server" />
But the designer file along with the code-behind generate it as.
Protected WithEvents CWNavigationService As Global.System.Web.UI.UserControl

but it's something I'm pretty consistently needing for the sake of my own sanity, so:If you add a Settings file to any project in Visual Studio, VS provides a GUI making it quick/easy to add a new Setting entry and assign it a Type; at that point the actual code-behind is automagically created with a variable and a property exposing that variable.Can we build our own designers to generate code this way, with a GUI allowing for those quick/easy variable/property assignments?

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 working with Visual Studio Pro 2008, and trying to build a Visual Basic project for my College Course. The coursework is not my question, it's not difficult just time consuming. My problem appears to be much deeper, and is certainly causing me to take way more time than I should need to debug and completely random occurence. I don't mind posting the source code but it is rather vast, made up of 23 objects, each ranging from 200-700 lines. I am running Windows 7 Pro x64, and since I need Jet4.0 DB Engine or some such I had to set the compiler to target x86 CPUs. I have my suspicions, and as queried in my topic, I was wondering if VB Designer code can become corrupt or cause funky errors?
The layout I have is something like this:
frmMain
-frmCustomer
--frmAddCustomer
--frmUpdateCustomer
-frmContract
--frmAddContract
--frmUpdateContract
Each steps forward using the ShowDialog method. Initially I thought it was a fluke, but I had frmAddCustomer open and when I closed it (the code simply does me.close, nothing fancy), it jumped all the way back to frmMain, skipping frmCustomer. At first I was baffled, I spent some 45 minutes trying to figure out why. No errors or exceptions, so it didn't seem to be anything wrong really. Since I was building this project in stages I loaded the same form from a previous stage and copied/pasted the new code in. This seemed to fix it, but it happened again after coding for another 30 minutes to an hour. It also isn't limited to that form, I have now experienced the same issue with frmAddContract & frmUpdateContract.

I have a project with multiple forms that are used to edit tables in a project data source (access DB). All the forms work fine, except the ones that use designer generated lookups.
When I am editing a row in a bound DGV on the lookup forms, they function fine, and the save button works fine. However, once I go to close the form it starts throwing "System.ArgumentException: DataGridViewComboBoxCell value is not valid." multiple times.
I've created applications similar to this in VS2008 without any issues.

The code generator creates code with references to a component I am using, before it's dependent components (datasets) are initalized. Although I can correct this by editing the form.designer.vb file, everytime I make a change on the form the code is re-generated in the wrong order. Where does VS2008 store information about the order of the components for code generation.
This Runs:
'
'AppointmentBindingSource
'
Me.AppointmentBindingSource.DataMember = "appointment"

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?

When attempting to create a UserControl type that must be inherited, when I try to edit one of its child classes in the Form Designer, I am not allowed to edit the child UserControl with the message:
To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved:
1 Error
The designer must create an instance of type "XX_ExpandContentsPanel2.IOCardMaster", but it cannot because the type is declared as abstract.
This error goes away if I remove the "MustInherit" restriction.Is there some way around this or do I just have to accept the (bonkers-mad) restriction, and not declare my class as as MustInherit, even though it's not a useful control in its own right?

I have been making a control and have added a property for a list(of CustomClass). The custom class contains a string, an image and a list of another custom class which contains a string and an image. I have added this property to the designer by adding the browsable attributes and all appears to work correctly with this.
My problem comes when running the program. I can set all of the values within the property and I can go back to them and they are saved, however, as soon as I run the program, the values are wiped out as the property is set to Nothing.In order to allow my property to be edited and saved, I realize that I must initialize the list and have done so in the accessor method of the property (if the property's value is nothing).
I have modified the values in the designer and placed a breakpoint on all of the items which use the property and it's underlying field, as well as on the property's methods itself. The first breakpoint hit is of it being accessed and the value is always nothing.
I'm not sure where the values are supposed to be stored as I have checked the designer code where it would normally store types such as strings and I have checked the resources to see if they have been saved there (like an image would be). After running the code, the values in the designer are wiped out also.

I have cooked up my first iteration of a code generator which creates the basic Entity models from a SQL Database Schema. Currently, It will scan a SQL Db Schema, and create .vb code files complete with private members and Public property declarations for every User table in the Database. My next step is having it add the basic CRUD procedures as well. Are we mere mortals able to access whatever technology allows the Partial class files created by vs to be hidden/Linked to their "parent" files, such as the Partial Class files for Windows forms or any other designer-generated control? My thinking is that it would be handy to be able to re-generate code files from the database if necessary to reflect changes in the schema, without overwriting any other properties or methods added to a class in addition to those derived from the database. SO I am hoing I can have the Auto-generated output go to a Partial Class file, and then use a regular class file of the same name for the rest of the code. My Concern is the multiplicity of files that might result, so I was hoping it is possible to "tuck them in" to the parent code file in the Class View.

in VS 2008, is there a way to design a ContextMenuStrip in a designer without a relation to a specific Form or UserControl class? For example,if you need the same ContextMenuStrip in Form1, Form2 and Form3, in which of them am I to design the ContextMenuStrip? Do I have to add a "pseudo-Form" to the project that contains my shared ContextMenuStrips and create only one instance of that Form, or is there another way? I consider this a programmatic hack, that's why my question is whether the IDE offers something better.

I support small local customers with VB2008 and MS Access applications (not VBA!). When I had to replace my machine, the new one came with Win7 64bit. Things failed immediately. I figured out how to compile VB for x86; but when I did that, I got a bunch of compile errors from the designer code, not my own. Typical of the errors is this one:
===Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Add' can be called with these arguments:'Public Function Add(name As String) As System.Data.DataTable': Value of type 'Lozier01_PaintInventory.ds.InventoryDataTable' cannot be converted to 'String''Public Sub Add(table As System.Data.DataTable)': Value of type 'Lozier01_PaintInventory.ds.InventoryDataTable' cannot be converted to 'System.Data.DataTable'.

Description of problem: I have a simple form with a usercontrol on it. There is a drop down box with a list of departments in it and a button, this is all in the usercontrol. I pick a department then press the button to view the employees in a listview for the department picked. All worked fine until I moved the code for drop down and button into the usercontrol from the form.
The data is taken from oracle database express 10G edition and I am using a cursor package (CP) and I pass parameters from the code to the oracle procedure within the CP. One of these parameters is the selected department from the drop down list (which I have picked) and my code does not seem to be picking up this parameter, it keps saying that the bold bit of code below is nothing:
myCmd.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("n_dept", OracleDbType.Varchar2)).Value = usr1.cmbDepartments.SelectedItem
Everything else seems to be fine. Because it is not picking up the selected item then the dr.read (no data by the looks of it) is false and it just falls out without populating any employees for that dept in the listview.
Does anyone care to take a stab at suggesting what might be wrong? Why won't it pick up the selected item in the user control I have just picked it in?

I am creating a 'generic input dialog': InputDialog(Of T).The idea is that I can create new instances of this dialog for different values of T. For example,I can create an InputDialog(Of String) and it displays a textbox.I create an InputDialog(Of Boolean) and it displays two radiobuttons (I could use a Checkbox, irrelevant).I create an InputDialog(Of Date) and it shows a DateTimePicker.
I do this by simply checking the type of T at run-time.In this way it is not really generic, as the dialog still has to know which type T is (which is usually not the case), but the generic is in the fact that the T can be multiple types that require a TextBox. For example, InputDialog(Of String), (Of Integer), (Of Single), (Of Double), etc, all simply display a TextBox (and it is validated later),so I still want to use generics as much as possible.Anyway, the result of the dialog is of course a property of type T. This property needs to return the value in the textbox, converted from string to T, OR the value in the DateTimePicker, converted from Date to T,OR the checked property of the 'Yes' radiobutton, converted from Boolean to T.In order to convert from any object to T I googled and found this
vb.net
Imports System.ComponentModel Public Class GenericTypeConverter Public Shared Function FromObject(Of T)(ByVal value As Object) As T Dim tc As TypeConverter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(GetType(T)) Return CType(tc.ConvertFrom(value), T) End Function End Class
I have to use this, I cannot simply CType a string to T since a String cannot be converted to any type T.So, my Result property looks like this at the moment:
vb.net
Public ReadOnly Property Result()[code].....
This actually works for Strings, Integers, Doubles, Singles, etc. I pass it the String in the textbox and it converts it to 'T'(note: T is then a String, Integer or Double!) just fine.So, it can convert a String to a String, Integer or Double without any problems (I am validating the text before using the Result property so it will always be a valid integer, double, etc).However, it does not work for a Boolean, nor for a DateTime. When I try that, it says "BooleanConverter cannot convert from System.Boolean" or "DateTimeConverter cannot convert from DateTime". I realize it is a bit of a strange thing, since the object already IS a Boolean or a Date(Time) so no conversion should be done at all, but this doesn't work in design-time because I need to return the objects as type T.I know that T will be Boolean when the value to be converted is a Boolean, and that T will be DateTime when the value to be converted is a DateTime, but the designer does not accept a simple CType. As I said, it does not accept this:
Return CType(rbYes.Checked, T)
because 'Boolean cannot be converted to T'.
However, I did find a way to make it work, but it seems like a complete hack... I can assign the boolean to an Object and then convert that using CType:
Dim obj As Object
obj = rbYes.Checked
Return CType(obj, T)
This works, it's accepted during design-time, and it works during run-time, but it seems very wrong... Is there no better way to handle this?

I'm looking to create a simple program with 1 text field, 1 button, and an area to display what is happening and if there were any errors.My goal is to be able to delete user profiles stored on a network drive by simply putting in the users ID and hitting the button.I'll use my own id as an example:If I put mdesieno in the txt box and hit the button, I'll need the button to map to the network drive and delete mdesieno.corp and mdesieno.v2 I would like the bottom half of the window to display text like:
"Deleting User Profile mdesieno.corp" SUCCESSFUL
"Deleting User profile mdesieno.V2" SUCCESSFUL
To me this seems pretty simple, but as I said, I do not know VB yet. Is there code out there that is already written to do something like this?
