What's Preferred Way In Visual Studio Designer To Add Attribute To Control

Aug 5, 2011

I need to add attributes to certain controls in a Windows Forms project. It needs to look something like this: [code] I can go in and edit the designer file to get more-or-less the desired effect, but those designer files sometimes come with the caveat that they are automatically-generated files. I'm worried that the designer might overwrite any changes that I make to the file. That said, is there a way to add attributes to controls using the designer or is there some way that I can add the attributes in a separate file?

IDE :: Opening One Of UserControls In Designer Causes Visual Studio To Crash

Feb 25, 2009

Using Visual Studio 2008.I have been coding for some weeks with a problem whereby if I try to open a certain UserControl in the Designer, I get many errors, all saying the Class of one of the Controls on the Form does not exist.If I rebuild the project, the IDE realises that the class DOES exist and will then render the form for Designing. This has never been ay problem at Runtime.Now, however, if I try to open that same UserControl in the Designer, Visual Studio crashes, sends an error report and restarts.Visual Studio gives me no error report or advice.What can I do now? I need to get to the Designer.

.net - Visual Studio's Windows Forms Designer From Deleting Controls?

Apr 20, 2010

With several forms of mine, I occasionally run into the following issue: I edit the form using the designer (Visual Studio 2008, Windows Forms, .NET 2.0, VB.NET) to add components, only to find out later that some minor adjustments were made (e.g. the form's size is suddenly changed by a few pixels), and controls get deleted. This happens silently — event-handling methods automatically have their Handles suffix removed, too, so they never get called, and there's no compiler error. I only notice much later or not at all, because I'm working on a different area in the form.

As an example, I have a form with a SplitContainer containing an Infragistics UltraListView to the left, and an UltraTabControl to the right. I added a new tab, and controls within, and they worked fine. I later on found out that the list view's scrollbar was suddenly invisible, due to its size being off, and at least one control was removed from a different tab that I hadn't been working on.

Is this a known issue with the WinForms Designer, or with Infragistics? I use version control, of course, so I can compare the changes and merge the deleted code back in, but it's a tedious process that shouldn't be necessary. Are there ways to avoid this? Is there a good reason for this to occur?

One clue is that the control that was removed may have code (such as a Load event handler) that expects to be run in run time, not design time, and may be throwing an exception. Could this cause Visual Studio to remove the control?

VS 2010 Visual Working Area Like Query Designer In Sql 2008 Man. STudio

Nov 27, 2011

I'm looking for a control that allows images to be placed onto it and moved about. Moreover, I need to draw lines between the images. It will sort of be like the query designer in SQL Man Studio. It will be used as a virtual desktop where a variety of objects (and their icon representations) can be freely placed and moved. I'm having a blank and cant remember where I saw this before.

Visual Studio 2010 - Choosing Which Full-form GroupBox Displays In Designer

Apr 28, 2011

I've inherited a large Visual Basic project that has a number of "frames" (obviously, it came from Visual Basic 6.0) which are now GroupBoxes. They all cover the entire form. The program chooses which one to display during execution. That all works fine.

Is there a way to switch between them for display in Visual Studio designer? Now it's displaying only the last one added, and I have to go to the code rather than Toolbox to make changes to all the ones behind the top one.

Visual Studio 2010 - Designer - Type 'MyProject.MyResources.Resources' Has No Property Named 'myicon

Jun 17, 2012

Long story short I made a form in VB.Net project which involves lots of icons and images. My problem is when I build my project, and then go back to that form, suddenly errors showed up.

The errors says : "The type 'MyProject.MyResources.Resources' has no property named 'myicon'". Just to be clear, it worked fine before I did the build, and it happened to every single images I have on Resource.

When I chose "Ignore and Continue" all of the images I used are gone. I tried to googled it, some says to delete my .exe file on Application/Bin/Debug folder, which is working. But this issue has been some kind of an annoying one, since it happens again every single time I build.

Visual Studio - Designer Error.. Duplicate Items Are Not Supported By The "Resources" Parameter?

Sep 11, 2011

I got an error when I tried to open the designer for one of my forms in Visual Basic 2010 express and I had the option to ignore it so I clicked that (which I regret doing so much) and now my form is erased,but I still have the code for it.I tried right clicking and selecting show designer but it just brings up a blank form. I had a datagrid control called "DataGrid1" and when i tried adding a new control to the blank form it says that "DataGrid1" already exists but it doesn't.So after I resolved the first 85 errors I got one more that doesn't make sense:

Error 1 The item "objx86DebugWindowsApplication1.frmMain.resources" was specified more than once in the "Resources" parameter.Duplicate items are not supported by the "Resources" parameter.

NET - Which Control Has Focus - Visual Studio 2008

Nov 16, 2010

I am currently translating a windows form application, written in VB6, to a webpage written in Visual Studio 2010. In VB6 it is easy to find out which control has focus on the form using '.getFocus()'. I have come to the conclusion it is not that easy, if at all possible, in vb2008.

Asp.net - Using ASPX Web User Control With Visual Studio 2010

Feb 18, 2012

I am trying to implement a Web User Control into one of my APSX pages but keep getting the following warning:

Element 'IntFilter' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a compilation error in the Web site, or the web.config file is missing.

The user control is defined in the same web project as the aspx page.

Question: How do I resolve this warning (I do not want to move the control to a separate project)? Also, what do I need to do to enable IntelliSense for this control so I can set its FilterTypeSelection property from ASPX?

Code for "~/FilterControls/IntFilter.ascx"
<%@ Control Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeBehind="IntFilter.ascx.vb" Inherits="StaffSupport.Filters.IntegerFilter" %>

[Code]....

Also of note, if you drag the control from the Solution Explorer to the page in Design view it will add the references you need (though it was still generating the warning for me). If you drag it to the page in source view it will add an a tag with a href to the element.

Visual Studio 2005 Offers 2 Of Each Column-type Control In DataGridView?

Dec 10, 2011

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 on Windows XP.When I drop a new DataGridView into my Windows Forms, and try to make 1 of the columns a checkBox, VS2005 gives me TWO of each columnType choice:

TextBox
TextBox
CheckBox
CheckBox

[code]....

Is that normal? Should I use "CheckBox type 1" or "type 2"?Also,When I make 1 of my columns a "checkBox", and then try to use it, the checkBox seems keep turning itself back ON.I turn it ON, and then click on a different column or row, and the checkbox stays ON, like it should.But if I turn the checkBox OFF, and then click on a different column or row, the checkbox magically turns itself back ON. I can't find anything in my code that says "turn it back on". And I've never connected it directly to any data source.

Developing MS Visual Studio Like Application Using MS Visual Studio 2005

Nov 27, 2009

I have to develop an application using MS Visual Studio 2005 or above with the following objective:

* The application should allow users to create as many new forms as they want and each form should behave like a MS Visual Studio WinForm. By saying that it should be a container for drag and drop of controls from the toolbox that I will develop....

* Once the user design's each screen to his taste by placing various controls on the form, he should be able to save the form as a screen. Of course I have to provide functionality for each of the controls such as if he drags a button on to the form, he should be able to specify what action it has to perfom when clicked when the application is put into run mode. Quite similar to regular windows form button.

* My application should have two modes: a DESIGN MODE, where user can drag, drop controls and specify what they should do when put into RUN MODE. This is quite similar to MS Visual Studio designer.

* Last but not least is to be able to access the application via the browser with the same look and feel his desktop version.
