I have encountered a frustrating problem with the VB environment, and I am
afraid I need to re-install it on my system. I would like to know whether any
of you have encountered the same problem or could possibly let me know of a
quicker fix.
The essence of the problem is this: when I select the properties of a
particular object (such as a button, label, or even a form), nothing appears
in the properties window, as it should. I have tried multiple ways of
telling it that I want to see an object's properties, and still the listing
is empty. I have right clicked an object and selected properties. I have
clicked the object then clicked the properties box. In every instance the
object that I am trying to modify is listed in the drop down box (as in
Button1 System.Windows.Forms.Button)
I have tried repeatedly to follow instructions from more than one book, in
case I am over-looking something simple. However, I was convinced that this
was a problem intregal to the environment when I tried the following.
Under the Tools menu, I selected Options. In that window on the left-hand
side there are different categories you can choose to view and/or expand.
When I selected the 'Windows Forms Designer' option, I got the following
message on the right where the options were supposed to appear: "An error
occurred loading this property page." The same thing happened when I
selected 'General' underneath the 'Windows Forms Designer.' The error did not
appear when I selected 'Data UI Customization' which is also underneath the
'Windows Forms Designer' category.
I am searching online for any possible help right now, and If I have to, I
will be re-installing the software. :-/ Let me know of any tips or ideas you
may have. Thanks!
