Visual C# Express - Custom Controls

[Danny Tuppeny]

Well, this doesn't seem to work at all now :-(

I've created a new user control. I've added a few labels to it. I've
compiled, and it's appeared in my toolbox.

Drag it onto a form, and I get "Failed to load toolbox item 'player'. It
will be removed from the toolbox".

It happened in my last project too, and I assumed it was to do with the
inheritance. This one's simple. I don't think I've ever had this work on my
machine, and I've reinstalled C# Express more than once! :-((

Anyone had similar? Any workarounds?

"Bug fixed according to Microsoft Lab
The bug has been fixed in the last internal build of Visual Studio 2005 Beta
2 and happened when the directory of the solution contained a # (One of the
sub-directory of my solution was C#, renamed now to CSharp and it
works...)."

LOL! I renamed "C:\Data\C# Projects" to "CSharp Projects" and it works. )

Danny,

Is the form in the same project, or a different one? If it is in a
different one, are you sure you have a reference to the assembly created by
the original project?

Hope this helps.

Sure was - it's like the problem I was having with the treeview - all solved
now (see my own reply to myself). Defo an MS bug!!
