How To Show Partial Classes as a Hierarchy in Solution Explorer?

[erich]

In VS2005, creating a new form creates the form class and a partial
(frm*.designer. vb) class file and displays the partial class beneath
the main
form frm*.vb, which is great. However, when extracting the designer
code
elements from an existing form class into its own partial class, (or
creating new ones) the partial
class is displayed in the Solution Explorer under the Project name,
that is,
at the same level as the file from which it came.

Q: How can the partial file be displayed as a "sub-file" as a newly
created
form fle in VS2005?

Hi Erich,

You need to copy the both the .designer and .vb in the project location
and then add only the .vb class asa an existing item, the IDE should
find the partial class and associate it automatically. Make sure you
got the name of the Partial Class correctly.

Hi Krishn...@gmail .com

Thanks for the reply, but that didn't work. Following your procedure
resulted in only the .vb file being displayed in the Solution Explorer.
My other partial class files did not display.

I found another post on the ms public dotnetlang.csha rp group where, at
least in C#, editing the project file (in his case the csproj file) and
adding the <DependentUpo n> tags to the partial file entries allegedly
makes the partial files display under the 'main' file, but I could not
get that procedure to work in VB either. Any other ideas?

Thanks

Erich
