Code changes when switching from design to code view
-
I've been playing around with SharpDevelop and C#, and started doing very simple C# programs. I created a textbox using the design view, went to the code view and modified some code. I built and ran the program, and it worked. :) So far so good. But I switched to design view and back to code view again. Poof! My changes are gone. :| Bummer! My guess is that every time you switch from design to code view, it updates the code, throwing out changes you might have made. The change I made is in the
InitializeComponent()method, if it helps. Does anybody know of a setting where I can disable this from happening? Or does it require a code fix? Cheers, Vikram.

When you use Visual Studio it adds the following little comment to your code right above the InitializeComponent() method #region Component Designer generated code /// /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify /// the contents of this method with the code editor. /// private void InitializeComponent() Put you changes in the OnLoad eventhandler or the contructor instead. /Patric My C# blog: C# Coach

I saw those comments, but just did not know where else to put them. Besides, the changes I made were pretty 'harmless'.

Thanks, Patric! Cheers, Vikram.

You shouldn't be able to edit this... that method is SPECIFICALLY for designer-generated code. If you need to change a setting in this method then you should be doing so using the designer/property grid.
I fixed it by putting the code in the form's ctor after the call to InitializeComponent(), as Patric suggested. Thanks! Cheers, Vikram.
