Designer is showing a gray box but I can't figure out why. Please help.
-
I developed my own custom web combobox component which used to display just fine in the VS 2003 designer. I also developed the designer for my component in VB.Net 2003. Unfortunately, while I was working on getting the properties in the component to work just the way I wanted them too, the component stop displaying properly in the designer, so now I get the gray box telling me that there was an error creating the component, and a pop-up saying that the style string for my component's button couldn't be set to the values in my ASPX page for all of the instances of the component in the page. I've walked though the code using the debugger and don't get any errors, and the component renders properly with the settings that the designer is complaining about. Anyone have any suggestions on how to debug this? Thank you. P.S., if anyone knows of some good resources on how to develop designer modules and property editors for the designer, please pass them along. I am in serious need of creating my own property dialogs for my component. Assuming it ever works in the designer again.
