After upgrading my solution from 2008 to Visual Studio .Net 2010, the Winforms designer chokes on any image properties on UltraToolbars. This is true if any designer changes are made to the form, not just changes to an UltraToolBarManager. Results in all images being removed. See attached images
I almost did forget though... the easy fix for this is to Save the Configuration of the toolbar out (I use XML). Then delete the toolbar, move the controls, inside the panel, outside of the panel and delete the panel it leaves on the form, then move the controls back on the form (DO NOT COPY AND PASTE the controls only move them) with the appropriate alignment and re-add a new toolbar.
Once the toolbar is added, load the saved configuration and rename the toolbar back to the old name. Lastly, reconnect the events which were broke when you deleted the original toolbar and you will be fine.
If you were wondering.... yes, it happened again today but was hoping for a more elegant fix but at least this is easy.

I have upgraded my old 2008-solution to VS 2010 and i use Infragistics v8.3. Changing the form with toolbar generates the error above.
A shorter solution for me was:
- save all toolbar-configurations as xml
- save the form and ignore the errors
- reopen the form and load all xml-configuration to the right toolbar
Now i can save the form with all images.
Hi Lebard,
You can read my post on the second page from - WED, JUN 16 2010. Where I explain that:
“Please note that In order to provide the best service to the widest range of our customers, we provide maintenance for our products for a little over one year from their release date. And since the 8.1 was released a long time before the VS 2010 was shipped we was unable to provide a service release for this issue in older versions then 9.1 .You can find more details about our approach to product maintenance and support, and the periods for which these services are provided, on the Product Lifecycle page of our website:http://es.infragistics.com/support/productlifecycle.aspx”
You still can find few workaround in this post that are applicable for this version.
I hope this helps.
Hello,
We have the same problem with the Infragistics version 8.3.
Is there exist a patch or a new version 8.3 ?
Hi
I just recently ran into this issue, while adding images to UltraButtons, using v8.2 on a WinForms project in VS 2010.
I found a fairly simple workaround though; In the designer, I remove all the images from the buttons. When the form/usercontrol is loaded, the first thing I do, is add the images to the buttons dynamically. This displays the icons with no trouble, and I can make changes in the designer without getting this error.
We plan to upgrade to a newer version, but for the developers that are forced to use older versions, this workaround seems a lot easier, than using an older version of Visual Studio to do the edits. Hope it helps!

I used the sample posted on Page 3 of this thread and reproduced the issue with 9.2. I upgraded the project to 11.2 and the issue no longer occurred. Since versions 10.3 and older are no longer being maintained, I would recommend upgrading to 11.2 to resolve this issue.
