Type 'TypeName' has no constructors

Hi, if anyone can help on this, please! This is driving me crazy.

I have a user control hierarchy several levels deep that derive for
UserControl (windows).

The class that is at the top level, has the following constructor (generated
by VS.NET)
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

End Sub

Sometimes (about half the time), when I recompile my solution (which
contains a project with this class, and a project with a form tester trying
out this user control), I get the error I put in the subject of this post.

Now, clearly, this class has a constructor.
If I change the code by removing the word 'Public', and recompile everything
is great.

Next time I need to recompile, I get this error again. In this case, I just
put the word 'Public' back in, and recompile - all is well again.

So I spend half my time removing 'Public' and then adding it back in - just
to get the compiler to change its mind.

Now, it doesn't do this all the time. Sometimes it recompiles OK.

I've checked the project build order - and the project with the user control
is compiled first.

I've tried manually compiling the first project - and then the second. And
the second always fails, because it thinks there is no constructor available
for the user control. Until that is, I take away or remove the 'Public'
keyword off of the constructor - in which case its fine.

Is this some ridiculous VB compiler problem? Some VS.NET bug. Anything I can
do about it?

Thanks

If you don't put an accessor on there doesn't it default it to Friend? In
which case doesn't your project B (second compiled) need to be in the same
namespace in order for that to work?

So therefore you contructor must be declared public or it doesn't think that
a constructor is avalible for it to use.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't think you carefully read my post, but just skimmed for some key
words.

The constructor was declared public. And that caused an error. Taking away
'Public' would then compile fine.

Next time I made a change, it woudln't compile again. So I would put the
'Public' back in. Then it was fine again.

The point being, that I kept needing to add and remove the word 'Public'
every other change in order to get the project to compile.

In fact, I believe that the default for a constructor is 'Public', else
taking 'Public' away, would never have compiled the tester application, as
then it definitely would not have had a constructor.

So again, the question is, why is the compiler complaining constantly about
not finding a constructor, making me place and remove the word 'Public'
every other compile time, in order to make it work?

Note: There may be other ways that work in getting the compiler to work
other then this trick with 'Public', I don't know. I just found an easy one.

Hi Marina,

I do not know this problem, however did you try it already with a new
application and only the most needed things in it.

Just an idea.

My apologies. I did misread the post.

Wow...

Wierd question, but how many projects are in your solution... I ran into
some weird compiler errors when I had a lot of projects. I'm just pulling
straws right now I hope you know.. just trying to help.

There are only 2 projects. One of the projects has about a dozen classes -
but not all are in this hierarchy I am talking about. The other is just the
tester app.

I will see if I can reproduce this with just a minimal # of files and code.

I am having trouble believing that adding/removing a modifier keyword can
have this effect, if not for the fact that I am the one having to add and
remove it all the time....

Ok, here is the reproduceable code (at least over here). The controls are in
one project, Form1.vb is in a separate project (one solution).

The key is, there has to be a change in the controls dll (such as adding a
Protected method to BaseInputControl.vb), that will trigger this. Not all
changes cause this behavior - so it doesn't happen with every change - but
very frequently.

BaseInputControl.vb:

Marina,
VS.NET 2002 or VS.NET 2003?

Are you referencing the Project or the generated DLL?

Does 'Build - Rebuild Solution' take care of the problem? (instead of
modifing the source file).

Hope this helps
Jay

My apologies. I did misread the post.

Wow...

Wierd question, but how many projects are in your solution... I ran into
some weird compiler errors when I had a lot of projects. I'm just pulling
straws right now I hope you know.. just trying to help.

I don't think you carefully read my post, but just skimmed for some key words.

The constructor was declared public. And that caused an error. Taking away
'Public' would then compile fine.

Next time I made a change, it woudln't compile again. So I would put the 'Public' back in. Then it was fine again.

The point being, that I kept needing to add and remove the word 'Public' every other change in order to get the project to compile.

In fact, I believe that the default for a constructor is 'Public', else taking 'Public' away, would never have compiled the tester application, as then it definitely would not have had a constructor.

So again, the question is, why is the compiler complaining constantly

about
not finding a constructor, making me place and remove the word
'Public' every other compile time, in order to make it work?

Note: There may be other ways that work in getting the compiler to work other then this trick with 'Public', I don't know. I just found an easy
one.

Hi Marina,

I can not reproduce it, can you tell me what I have to add to the method?

After you answered the question from Jay of course.

However you will see my next answer not for tomorrow probably, so do not
count to much on that.

Well, just try adding a new method to BaseInputControl that is protected -
doing that usually does the trick for me.

As you can see in my response to Jay, rebuilding the solution helps. I am
still mystified as to why this happens at all, and why this particular error
in this particular case.

In any case, thanks for taking an interest and trying to help.

This is VS.NET 2003.

I am referencing the generated DLL.

Oddly enough - chosing rebuild solution does work.

I've gotten used to doing just a build (ctl + shift + b), and I've doing
that for probably 3 years and haven't had a problem yet. I guess I'll have
to reassign that to the rebuild command...

Do you have any idea why rebuilding the solution helps?

Or better yet, why does this happen at all?

Thanks

Marina,
VS.NET 2002 or VS.NET 2003?

Are you referencing the Project or the generated DLL?

Does 'Build - Rebuild Solution' take care of the problem? (instead of
modifing the source file).

Hope this helps

Ok, here is the reproduceable code (at least over here). The controls are
in
one project, Form1.vb is in a separate project (one solution).

The key is, there has to be a change in the controls dll (such as adding a Protected method to BaseInputControl.vb), that will trigger this. Not all changes cause this behavior - so it doesn't happen with every change - but very frequently.

BaseInputControl.vb:

When I do it, I get an error in BaseInputControl:

"TestControlLibrary.BaseInputControl.Private Sub InitializeComponent()" is
not accesible in this context because it is "private".

I think the error is not ok. When I rebuild, the error disappears.

Marina,
I normally reference the project itself, not the DLL. My understanding is
referencing the project enables VS.NET to better determine dependencies.
Or better yet, why does this happen at all? I believe it happens because the background compilation gets confused.

http://www.panopticoncentral.net/arc...03/07/284.aspx
http://www.panopticoncentral.net/arc...03/19/291.aspx
Do you have any idea why rebuilding the solution helps? My theory is the background compilation gets confused, and the Build Rebuild
Solution throws every thing out & does a 100% clean compile, however that is
just my theory.

I know VS.NET 2002 had more problems with then VS.NET 2003 does, at least on
the multi-project solutions that I have worked on.

Hope this helps

Marina,
I normally reference the project itself, not the DLL. My understanding is
referencing the project enables VS.NET to better determine dependencies.
Or better yet, why does this happen at all? I believe it happens because the background compilation gets confused.

Do you have any idea why rebuilding the solution helps?

My theory is the background compilation gets confused, and the Build

Rebuild Solution throws every thing out & does a 100% clean compile, however that is just my theory.

I'd agree with that theory. I would compare it to make clean;
=0

I know VS.NET 2002 had more problems with then VS.NET 2003 does, at least on the multi-project solutions that I have worked on.

I too saw more problems in VS 2002

Hope this helps

This is VS.NET 2003.

I am referencing the generated DLL.

Oddly enough - chosing rebuild solution does work.

I've gotten used to doing just a build (ctl + shift + b), and I've doing
that for probably 3 years and haven't had a problem yet. I guess I'll have
to reassign that to the rebuild command...

Do you have any idea why rebuilding the solution helps?

Or better yet, why does this happen at all?

Thanks

Marina,
VS.NET 2002 or VS.NET 2003?

Are you referencing the Project or the generated DLL?

Does 'Build - Rebuild Solution' take care of the problem? (instead of
modifing the source file).

Hope this helps
Jay

Ok, thanks to everyone who took time to look at this.

I guess that 'background compilation' gets confused is about the best answer
as to why 'building' the solution doesn't work but 'rebuilding' it does.

Thanks
