VB 2005 Probems

[steve]

Hi All

I have started using VS 2005 (VB) and have noticed some strange behaviour

1. On 1 form of an application clicking on the different controls at design
time does not change the control in the Properties editor
I have to double click which takes me to the code the back to select the
control

2. I used the datagridview object for the first time and over the course of
1 hour had all sorts of problems such as
Corrupted code in the windows form designer, multiple declarations of
the object , the original and the renamed version
The form it was placed on has the name "frmcheckin". VS showed error at
line Me.name = "frmcheckin" as 'value of string cannot be converted to
System.windows.forms.datagridviewtextboxcolumn'

This has occurred on 2 different computers

Has anybody else experienced this?

Regards
Steve.

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your post.

Do you use VS2005 RTM version? Please first confirm this information for
me, thanks

#1, Do you meet this issue always?
I have met this issue 1 more 2 times in VS.net2003, I usually resolve this
by pressing cancel key, then re-click the wanted control.

#2, if you create a new project, does this problem still exist? If so, I
suggest post some detailed reproduce steps and help me to reproduce out
this issue, then I can understand it better.

I will wait for your further feedback. Thanks

Hi Jeff

Yes I use RTM.050727-4200

#1
I have met this issue always since using VS2005 6 days ago
It only happens on 1 certain form in my application

Pressing the cancel (I assume ESC key) does not help

I never experienced it when using VS2003 (Where the application was written)

It happens on my desktop and Laptop computers

#2 Doesn't appear to happen on a new project created in VS2005


The other mentioned problem of the Datagridview component causing wierd
problems doesn't appear to happen in a new project created in VS2005


Regards
Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your feedback.

For #1, it seems that we can reproduce out it definitely, yes? Can you
provide some reproduce steps to us?

For #2, it seems that it is project-specific issue. Currently, I do not
have enough information of your problem project context, so there is few
work I can do for you. Maybe you should delete the redundant declaration,
or migrate the project into a new create one.
