I have managed to create my custom control and I can add the dll to the
toolbar in a project no problem.

When I add it to the form however I get a StackOverflowException error.

I am not sure where to begin to figure out this error... any ideas?

I have an override for the OnResize event which then calls this.Invalidate()
I thought this was it but when I compile without this.Invalidate() I get the
same errors.

Regards,

éric

You've got some sort of recursion going on - probably something in an
eventhandler that in turn causes the even to refire.

Is there a way for me to step through the code causing the error?

Actually, what you want to do is to reach the exception under debugger and
look at the Stack window. When doing this, right-click on the stack window
and check "Show non-user code". YOu should be able to see clearly a
repeating pattern of function calls, which will give you an idea of what is
going wrong

Hi Alex, thanks for your reply

I am not sure if I understand what you are saying...
The "Call Stack Window" is only available when the application is running in
debug mode.
The problem is I can not even add the control to the form... the error comes
imediatly when I try to place the control on the form.
The control never makes it to the form in the designer and so I can not view
anything in the "Call Stack Window".

What am I missing?

Sorry, didn't realize you were talking about the designtime
I think you should be able to launch a second instance of VStudio and attach
to the first one, thus being able to catch the exception in the debugger

Can I assume that the problem is in or called by my constructor?

Not necessarily - it could be one of the member functions

I found out what it was but I can't explain it
this line is what messes it up... why? (conditional statement prevents the
StackOverflowException error)
#if !NETCFDESIGNTIME
lblDLStatus.Parent = pnllblDLStatus;
#endif
I put the conditions to avoid the problem in design time... but why does
this cause an error when this line is in the constructor?

Now my problem is 2 fold... without that line the design time does not look
exactly as it should
Second and most important I get the following error when I run the app with
my control:
--------------------------------
TypeLoadException
Could not load type
System.Windows.Froms.Panel from
assembly System.Windows.Forms,
Version = 1.0.5000.0, Culture = neutral
PublickKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089
--------------------------------
This Error comes up before the first line of code is executed?
What am I missing?
Regards,
éric

Do you have any code in the OnParentChanged event override?
