I'm working on an existing WinForms application and I am having some weird issues with Infragistics controls in a WinForms app.
When I open an existing form or usercontrol in the project that has Infragistics controls on it, it looks like this: http://sdrv.ms/S7gvmS
I cannot access any of the controls in the design surface. Clicking does nothing. And, all of the controls appear in the lower area.
So I created a new test solution and dropped some Infragisstics controls on and got this: http://sdrv.ms/SRdo2y
What is going on here?
Hello,
I am not able to see the screenshots. Could you please try ti zip them and attach the archive to your next post? In the meantime, if I have to make a guess here, I would say that you have the first project referencing DLLs which are not in the Global Assembly Cache of your machine. This could be because you have upgraded to a newer version and did not upgrade the mentioned project with the new assemblies. You could do that with our 'Version Utility' tool.
If this is not the issue, please provide the needed screenshot, I will be happy to take a look at them.
I have resolved this issue.
A new PC was set up and the installer for the Infragistcs controls was run. Same installer other developers used to set up their PC's a year ago.
Except this time the installer automatically downloaded version 12.1.20121.2054, whereas the other developers are on version 12.1.20121.1001 from an older install.
The installer did this without prompting us. This is a HORRIBLE design. Very bad idea. The installer should ask the user if they want to upgrade, not just do it and break everything.
Hello Kevin,
I believe that there is a checkbox, which you could check or un-check in order to get the latest updates. Please take a look at the attached screenshot.
I am checking about the progress of this issue. Please let me know If you need any further assistance on this.
