Dear Newsgroup,
I'm an old VB6.0 developper who switched some time ago to VB.NET 2005.
I really like that new Visual Studio. However, something is going wrong
now and I can't figure out, what it is...
I was playing around with UserControls which are inherited from
standard .NET controls to make myself some transparent controls.
Suddenly I realized that after bulding my project those UserControls do
not appear in the Toolbox anymore. I had before an error which caused
the designer to crash. I've searched MSDN, usenet and web. Uninstalled
..NET Framework 1.1, reinstalled VB.NET 2005 (Express). There seems to
be such a problem about .NET Studio 2003. However, I'm using 2005.
When I open an old project, my UserControls are still there and I can
add new ones. But it won't work in new projects.
Maybe I'm doing something terribly stupid, so I would like to describe
how I think UserControls should be generated. Am I overseeing
something?
1. Open new Windows Application project.
2. Add Class to Project.
3. E.g.:
Public Call1
Public Class ListBoxExtended
Inherits System.Windows. Forms.ListBox
Public Sub TestListBox
Msgbox "Test"
end sub
end class
end class
4. Compile/Build, no erros.
5. Going to Designer: just nothing, no "ListBoxExtende d"
I'm really desperate in the meanwhile. Any hints and comments are
welcome.
Thanks a lot,
Bart

Hello Newsgroup,
I have just found out that adding my EXE manually to the Toolbox solves
the problem. Can I switch it somehow on, that just after compiling the
UserControl appears automatically in the Toolbox?
What if I change the inherited UserControl? Do I have to recompile and
readd manually to update the controls on the form? Will I even have to
pull every control again on the form to get new functionality?
Thanks,
Bart (Desperate...)
I believe this is a bug in VB.Net 2003. I finally gave up on adding controls
to the toolbox and just add a reference then instantiate them and add them to
my forms in code. Maybe SP1 for VB.Net 2003 will resolve this bug.

I'm in the same VB6 boat that you are in. I have found that a UserControl
once compiled and placed in the toolbox, stays in the toolbox if you
"Rebuild". It's just the first time that you "Build"

Hi Everyone,
(using VS2003)
So here is my problem... I have a class that inherits from the Button
control have compiled the project with all references and it does not
appear in the Toolbox. The other controls appear just fine.
I searched this topic and found a lot of responses but everyone has a
different solution to the problem.

Hello All,
I've got two C# UserControls in a standard Windows Application project,
but I'd like to be able to add them to my Toolbox so I can start placing
them on forms.
Unfortunately, it's not really clear how to do this, since all the
examples I've found in the documentation seem to show creating a Windows
Control Library, building the DLL, then adding it to a test application
project.

in the Toolbox under "My user controls", with an icon of a user control, but...

I've created a user control:
Public Class Button
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.UserControl
(at this point VS added this to toolbox on my computer) and then changed

Hi there,
A quickie I think...
If I create a new class that inherits the values of a windows form component
class, can there ever be a visual representation of this in the .Net IDE?
E.g. if I create a class called 'mytextbox.vb' which inherits the
windows.forms.textbox, with some additional functionlity, is there an easier
way of adding instances of this derived class to my form than by modifying

This is a stupid question, I know, but I can't figure it out... Someone
please embarass me.
I have a solution that has a number of usercontrols included.
When I add a usercontrol project to the solution the control does not
automatically appear in the "My User Controls" toobox. I'm going to the FILE
menu and choosing "Add Project -> Add Existing Project"
Eventually, after several builds, etc. the control appears in the toolbox,

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

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,...
