Infragistics controls not showing up at design time
posted

I am using VS 2010 for a Winforms porject.  To see the behavior I add a new UserControl to the project and then open the visual designer for the user control.  From the Toolbox I drag a UltraLabel, UltraButton etc to the new user control but it does not show in the designer but instead it shows in a container below like a Dataset would if you added it via the designer.  If I change the Text property of the UltraLabel, the text does not show anywhere on the UserControl (since I can't even see the UltraLabel on the UserControl I didn't expect to see the text but I thought it was worth testing).  I'm wondering how to proceed so I can use the Infragistics controls?  Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks

    If controls like the UltraLabel show up in the component tray, it means that Visual Studio is unable to find the Designer assembly for that control. For some reason, when Visual Studio cannot find the designer assembly, they just automatically assume that every control is a component.

    Anyway, if the version utility fixed this, then it means your project was probably references multiple versions of the Infragistics assemblies - or maybe not multiple versions, but just the wrong version.

    My guess is that your toolbox is out of date and you need to update it to make sure it's pointing to the right versions of the controls. The Infragistics Toolbox Utility should correct that for you.
