Bug with VS.NET inheriting from a control

Hi there,

    I'm experiencing 2 bugs when attempting to inherit from a PictureBox and
I'm sure it does it to other controls too,

    1) Make a new user control class
    2) Change the class so it inherits from "PictureBox"
    3) Compile and now try to draw it onto a form

    I am getting the attached error every time without fail.

Nick.

Hmm, then why should I?  That's a strange one, I've noticed my icons have
got a bit funny in the toolbox, I've attached a screenshot.

Is there some kind of option in the menu as to whether or not you want to
experience bugs or not? or am I just extremely unlucky as I appear to come
across pretty much anything that could go wrong...

:-\

Hurrah I eventually got it working.  I created another new project but this
time just made a class and not a usercontrol, then inherited PictureBox from
that.  I'm not quite sure what file that error was referring to but it seems
to be a designer issue, there appears to be allot of those in 2005, roll on
Q3!

I'll retract my previous statement, well the "Hurrah" bit anyway!  It just
stopped working again with the same error, I had the form opened, compiled
with the new inherited control sitting on the form happily and then the
designer crashes with that same error message.

All I have done is add a simple property to the control with a check of the
property in the OnPaint method.  Nothing intense, not quite sure why it's
doing this at all.

Hi again,

    I've attached a project that no longer works for me.  I can't see
anything blatantly obvious with my code, nor do I have any idea where the
error is referring to.

    This is actually as far as I have got before this error rears it's ugly
head.  Forgive the name of the project, it's just frustrating.

    I've added a few comments to the code, one thing I'm curious about is
why VS.NET doesn't make a part file for the component but it does for a
form?  For some bizaar reason it just dumped the object declarations and
initializecomponent code into my code, it also didnt create a constructor so
the method never even got called!  This seems really strange to me.

    Anyone got any ideas on how I'm going to get around this?

Nick.

AARRRRGHHH!!!!

Ive just attempted exactly the same thing but this time via abstraction,
i.e. I have a usercontrol with a picturebox inside of it and the other
controls necessary for my desired end result.

I get quite far this time under the beliefe that it might work!  But nope,
it just stopped working while the form designer with the control placed on
for testing was opened the second I rebuilt the project.

Surely I'm not the only one that has experienced this?

Just to add to this too, the program still runs, its just the designer that
is borked and wont let me edit the form containing the control.

Hi again,

    Someone will get fed up with me in a minute...

    If I delete the form and create a new one, I cannot add the control as I
recieve said error previously "screenshotted" in this thread.  So presumably
the error is in one of the usercontrols files

    If I open the .Designer file, line 2 doesn't even have 111 chars in
it...

    2.    Partial Class AbPictureBoxEx

    If I open the .resx file, line 2 in there doesn't even have 111 chars
either, although I'm not sure if it's including the XML declaration as line
1...

    1.    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    2.    <root>
    3.    <xsd:schema id="root" xmlns=""
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:msdata="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xml-msdata">

    If I close the project and delete the Obj and Bin folders then restart
the error is still there.  So I can only presume the error is in one of the
"My Project" files.  Although which one and how to fix it I have no idea!
Although I'm going to continue looking...

Nick.

Nick,

I was already looking at your problem, however do not get what is the
problem.
Now I have done this.

I have taken your sample.
I deleted from the form.designer.vb all (designer created)code (it did not
work before that)
I draged from the toolbox that class1 on the form
I have imported to that an image using the propertis from the picturebox
And than I run.

What those two scrollboxes should do, is something I did not look for,
however it shows the pic.

I don't understand the way you described your problem. Therefore can you do
it step by step.

Cor

    Aah, I am not able to get that far,  I have just managed to get to test
it on another system and it works.

    That must mean my entire installation of VS.NET is borked in some way or
another.  Which is not really helpful but at least I know now.  Thanks for
confirming that for me Cor.

    I hope noone thinks I was rushing for an answer, I always use the group
in this way, I post a question then reply with my own findings as I slowly
work it out, I know it helps others too.

    Thanks again, I best get on with re-installaion or repairing if there is
such a feature...

Hi,

    No luck!  Even if I delete the form and redraw the control onto it I
still get the same error message appear.

    That's after a complete uninstall and re-install of VS.NET.  If any MS
guys are out there, what is this error message referring too?

    I can literally copy the exact project to another computer and it just
works, yet on this computer it doesn't.

Nick.

Did you notice that this a newsgroup and not an FTP server? Not only you are
writing and reading here and not all people are interested in only your
threads, so please upload a file to a web/ftp server and post the link here
only. Those people that are interested in it can simply download it by
clicking the link. What you are doing is inconsiderate. Thank you in

Hi Armin,

    "What you are doing is inconsiderate"

    What you are doing is being outright rude!  Good mannors come for free
you know!

    Sure I can upload to an ftp site from now on, and FYI I have been using
this newsgroup for over 4 years now so I wouldn't mind just a tiny modocom
of respect from someone else that I know is a regular user!

    If you have problems with me attaching files then I suggest you get your
newsreader to only download the headers that way you wouldn't have had any
need to get on your high horse!

    If you don't agree with the thread then don't participate in it, but
personally I feel it is quite important that I share this information with
te group as this problem hasn't been covered anywhere else before.

    Thanks!

Nick.

Obviously you didn't learn them. You seem to mix up cause and reaction.

It was not me who uploaded the files. As the regular user that you are, I
can expect some knowledge of respect towards the readers of this group.

You are telling me how to set up my newsreader? Who do you think you are?
Which horse are you riding that makes you think you can spam this group with
you files? If you wouldn't upload files, I wasn't forced to change my
settings. Look around and you will notice what others are doing. This is a
community, so behave like others do. Unmount from your horse.

I participate in this group. If you like it or not. I didn't say anything
the first time, but if you ignore some basics repeatedly, don't be surprised
about the reaction.

    Well, strangeley enough I wasn't the one who merely posted a message
just to troll.

    Yes, I am informing you of a way you can set up your newsreader in order
to avoid future b1tching, get a grip for christ sake.  And for your
information again I have seen many attachments in posts in Microsoft
newsgroups, so don't tell me how I should use the group and I won't tell you
how you should use your newsreader.

> I participate in this group. If you like it or not. I didn't say anything

    Easy tiger, no need to roar.  I didn't say that I didn't like you
participating in this group, I said that I know you are a regular user and
upto now I have respected you for that, don't expect me to bother reading
your replies if your going to be like that.

    This is the last reply you personally will get from me, I haven't got
time for an argument about posting etiquette.

I didn't troll. I tried to point you to some basic rules you should obey.

It is up to me how to set up my newsreader, but it is not up to you how you
spam this group. That's the difference.

You are saying "it's your problem if you are running into my bullet". Don't
shoot instead of telling people to get out of the way. I really wonder who
you think you are.

What am I "like that"? Pointing you to a thing you shouldn't do? Things
don't get better if you close your eyes.

If you are that ignorant in every community, you won't have much fun in real
life in the long run, too. Think about it.

Armin,

NickP is that nice fellow that in past has told us often in his nicely (I
thought) South/East English way how we should behave ourselves and who was
always thinking that he was attacked.

(For you and Herfried together with Fergus).

You know him as Nak.

You see that he has changed his style. Nak would not have sent in a way
polite answer as he did now to you.

:-))

(You know that I agree that a shorten sample as Nick did, should be
possible, none of his messages exceeds 100Kb, something what you cannot say
some webbuilders do).

Haha :-)

My real name is Nick Pateman, but I have had to setup the newsreader so many
times that I end up just putting something small anyway.  I don't think
anyone cares who I am, regardless of what Mr Zingler would like to believe,
nor do I want anyone to care as it happens.

Nice to see your still on here Cor, I hope you are well.

Nick.

Nick Nak Nok Nuk - who knows? As names don't matter in here, I don't care.
In other groups he would not even get a reply at all. Do I complain? No.

The avg posting size is ~4 KB. He must be very important posting multiple
times larger files here. I don't like it if somebody does this in a
community. And I will point him to it forever again.

Yes you complain. I know that it is a convention in German newsgroups to use
your full name. That is not a convention here. Therefore telling this is
complaining.

Which does not matter for me to respect you and means that I will ask you to
stop with that. I have forever liked the fights Nak versus Armin it gives me
forever a lot of fun.

As long as you guys answer each other after that time, than it means in my
eyes that you both respect each other. (What I do as well of course).

No, I do not complain about the name. See above. I do *not* care (anymore).
Where in the recent past did you ever see a single posting from me where I
complained about not using real names? You will not find one.
