Custom controls moving around in VB .Net not C#

Ron
I have this weird problem...I have a custom composited control written in C#
comprising of a label and a textbox (in an assembly)

If I import the control into a C# Win Forms project and place several of the
controls on a page everything is fine...all of the positioning properties
are correctly serialized to the designer code and the controls remain in
their designtime positions. HOWEVER if I import the custom control into VB
..Net win Forms project and follow EXACTLY the same procedure, then I save
the form and close it...when i open the form back up the controls have all
moved and it is also reflected in the designer code. If I repeat the
procedure again, they move again but a different amount.

I have triple checked all properties and even removed the set mutator to no
avail.

Has anybody ever heard of this before? What can i do to troubleshoot this
problem?

Thanks for any info,
Ron

Hi,

Compare the code generated by the IDE in both cases, one thing you do
not mention though, is if the movement is inside your control or in
the form, or in other words the controls inside your control or your
control in the form

Ignacio,

Thank you for the reply.

We narrowed it down to a 3rd party control and one of the properties in our
control was not setting the base property correctly. It appeared to be
happening differently in VB .Net than C# .Net but the reality is that we
didn't have the control in our C# project, which ended up being the issue.

Thank you for your reply.
Ron

I have a custom control that builds what we refer to as "Formlets" around some content in a page. These are basically content "wrapper" sections that are tables that have a colored header and provide an open TD with a DIV in it for the content of this formlet. (The DIV is for DHTML to hide and show the content) I've created a web page showing step by step the two problems I'm encountering. This problem is much easier to see than it...

Hi all, I have a project where we use lots of user controls. We would like to move them to private assemblied custom controls but from what I see this can't be done because the .ascx file must be in the main project as a file...in other words, it doesn't look like you can add a reference to a custom created control and leverage an .asxc within it. Is this correct?

Hello i have made a custom control. i have placed a panel on it. I want this panel to behave just like the normal panel. The problem i was having is that the panel on my custom control doesnt accept other controls. The control i drag drop on it becomes the child of my custom control's parent form and not the child of my custom control. Then i added this line "" before my custom control class (i dont know what this line does). Now

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,...
