Dear community,
Some Infragistics controls like WinChart and WinGrid are not displayed properly in the Visual Studio 2008 Designer.When I drag i.e. a WinGrid from the Toolbox on my Form and drop it there the WinGrid will be shown as a symbol with a name on the bottom of the Designer window in a separate area (below the actual form area). I am not the only one in my company who experienced this problem. My working mate had the same problem but he could solve it with a complete de- and re-install of your product. I tried the same but the problem still exists.
I hope you have a solution for this problem already.
Best regards, Gerald
That was it. I still had references in the .licx file. After I changed them to the right version the problem was solved.
Thank you very much, Mike!
Your warning not to reference the .Design assemblies came to late. Screwed up my project somehow.
Something in your project must still be referencing old assemblies, then. Check CopyLocal. Make sure you check all the projects in the solution. You may need to look at the licx file and make sure that file doesn't reference old versions.
Make sure your projects do not reference the .Design assemblies for the grid or chart. These assemblies should be in the GAC, but not referenced by the project directly.
Make sure you have the Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.Design dll UltraChart.Design.dll referenced in your project l
Hello Drew and Mike,
You were right, there were a few wrong references because I installed the new Hotfix recently. But the controls like WinGrid and WinChart are still not showing up in the form.
Can you please tell me which steps I have to take to clean up my project/system. That would be a great help.
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Gerald
This happens when Visual Studio cannot find the Design assembly for the control. So it could be an issue of mixed references like Drew suggests. It can also be caused by setting CopyLocal to true on any of the Infragistics assemblies in the project.
