Hi,
I have experienced the following recently with the above SD5.1 versions, with 4.x there was no problem; I observed/checked especially together with AForge packages version 2.2.5.0 (some others only shortly tested).
- After opening the original SD4.x solution and editing the code, at some point I got a "Designer failed to load" message; it related to assemblies which were reported not to be found, but the files were still there (nothing actually changed). The assembly still built fine and ran as expected. It did not help to remove and re-install the packages. Only manually commenting out the related custom controls in the ...Designer.cs file will "fix" it (and now I can not get back to the original state).
- If adding a new reference the controls inside will only show up in the "Tools" tab (under "Custom Components") after re-building the solution/the project. Similar holds true if a package/reference is removed, custom controls will not be updated before re-build.Is this really intended?
- In "Configure Sidebar" dialog window the "Custom Components" category does not show up?
- I cannot add custom components to the form anymore, neither drag&drop nor clicking and drawing the size rectangle works. The tool selection just resets back to the "Pointer" tool.
Any ideas?
Regards
Michael
