VB Controls In VB2005Hi, I ran the Upgrade Wizard to upgrade my VB6 project to VB2005 Express Edition. I got 140 errors and 170 warnings. One of the error was that it wouldn't load a VB6 control. (In VB6, if it can't load a control, VB6 will replace it with a PictureBox.) But VB2005 didn't do that. It wouldn't even let me display the form at all for me to delete that control. Any idea how to display the design view to replace that control? Thanks! -- > There is no answer. http://spaces.msn.com/bzDaCat> There has not been an answer. > There will not be an answer. > That IS the answer! > And I am screwed. > Deadline was due yesterday. > > There is no point to life. > THAT IS THE POINT. > And we are screwed. > We will run out of oil soon. You could find the InitializeComponent sub for the form (the one marked
"do not edit this with the code editor") and delete all references to that control. Then when design view refreshes the control should be gone.

I changed the codes but it still didn't want to load. I clicked "refresh" but nothing happened. So, I saved and restarted the IDE. Do I have to do this everytime I change the codes in the Designer?

over. The Upgrade Wizard semi-converted the code to the point where the designer wouldn't load. My solution (assuming the form was named "Form1") was to open the Form1.Designer.vb file, and hand-edit the code to remove the control in question. Then I was able to open the designer and add in the substitute control visually. To view the designer file, click on the "Show All Files" toolbar button that appears at the top of the Solution Explorer panel. Then expand the "plus sign" next to the form you are having trouble with. You should see the Designer and the RESX files for that form. Double-click on the Designer file to edit it; it's just a normal VB class file. Locate any lines that have to do with your control and delete those lines (although you may want to take notes on the property values before you delete them all). ----- Tim Patrick Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005 Show quoteHide quote > the vb.upgrade group is dead.

of to the deleted control. You probably had lines in the Designer file that looked like this. Me.TheBadControl.Controls.Add(Me.SomeButtonControl) Just change this to: Me.Controls.Add(Me.SomeButtonControl) That will glue the button directly to the form. As for your other message about the form still not displaying, please post the error message that appears. And I wasn't sure what you meant by clicking "refresh" in Visual Studio. ----- Tim Patrick Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005 Show quoteHide quote > Thanks!!! > > Oh crap!

This VB.NET thing kinda mimic the Java thing from Sun. Ok... (so please excuse me... I am new...) I changed the codes in the Form1.Designer.vb file to "comment" out all the reference to that bad control. I then double clicked the Form1.vb file to display the form. It didn't work. It didn't refresh/parse the new codes (I guess). There was a little button under the "Solution Explorer" that said "Refresh". I clicked that and then double clicked the Form1.vb file again. Nothing. It still said I had a bad control on the form. So, I saved and restarted the IDE. Now it re-parse/refreshed the form.

After I change the Designer file, I always do a "File / Save" command to make sure Visual Studio knows I am serious. Then I re-open the visual designer, and all my changes are there. ----- Tim Patrick Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005 Show quoteHide quote > Yes, I figured it out how to add the controls...

So, it may be different from the paid version... I guess.
