Subclassing UserControl makes the Visual Studio designer does not work

I want to subclass the System.Web.UI.U serControl to make a
common control for my site. Then, when I create a new
UserControl from the Visual Studio I changed the base
class System.Web.UI.U serControl to my UserControl class
(a.k.a MyUserControl).
MyUserControl is only a .cs file with a class inheriting
from System.Web.UI.U serControl.
But, when I try to view the control in the Visual Studio
designer it always pop me a window asking me if I want to
reload the file and after :
"The file failed to load in the Web Form designer. Please
correct the following error, then load it again: Type
Abstract".

Here is my base class for all my UserControl :

public class MyUserControl : System.Web.UI.U serControl
{
MyUserControl()
{
}
}

Thanks in advance for any help.

I was getting this problem as well. Unfortunately I cannot remember
exactly what the problem is.

However, I do remember that you need to build the solution - this is
because the visual designer is trying to create an instance of your
class.

Sorry if that doesn't solve it,
but i thought i should mention it.

Hi, I'm having some weird behaviour, and I can't find any solution to this. I made a UserControl (uclCommands) which contains a Toolbar (ToolBar1) with Modifiers = Public. I put this usercontrol on my form and call it Ucl1. In the Property Window in the Windows Forms Designer I change Ucl1.ToolBar1.ButtonSize to a bigger value.

I'm creating a custom control (inherited from UserControl) that is displayed by other controls on the form. I would like for the control to disappear when the user clicks outside my control the same way a menu does. To do this my control needs to get notified when the user tried to click off of it. The Leave and LostFocus events of the UserControl work most of the time but not always. For example, if they click on a part of the form...

I created a dropdownlist containing day, month and year field and expose a property to assign a date. When I call from a aspx page and assign the value, the new date is not displayed until a submit is performed. How do I force the usercontrol to display the newly assigned date? I don't have this problem if I place the two dropdownlist and the year field directly on the aspx page.

Hi, I created a UserControl, and created its UI with the designer. Next, I wanted to create a subclass of that UserControl, with a new UI. But when I open it in the designer, I see the UI components from the parent class. When I step through the code, it looks like the InitializeComponents of my base UserControl is getting called, and then the version in my subclass. Is there any way to prevent this? Is there a better way to create

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
