EDIT: I'm The Fool - It Is Not Broken - c# WinForms broken with latest VS2022 update 17.6.3 ?
-
Edit: I'm deleting this as it was ME who screwed up! Long story short, after updating VS I made some code changes and added a new usercontrol. and then had built the code and see the issue I had previously mentioned. I was convinced it must have been something I did, so walked back through the code changes I had made in the app, commenting out bit by bit until bingo the problem went away. What foolish mistake had I made? Well it all boiled down to a recursive paint / draw / refresh loop, that was basically blocking the parent panel from drawing, that appears to explain why it was the controls in that group that were impacted. Ah well, kept me busy for a few hours on a cloudy day...... :rolleyes:

Find Me On:Web|Youtube|Facebook|Twitter|LinkedIn Folding Stats: Team CodeProjectI'm not seeing any such problems here: what controls, and what .NET version(s) are in play here? And do you see the effect in previously compiled apps, or just oned compiled after the update? I'm currently running 17.3.6, but a quick check says that 17.6.3 is ready to go ... :~

It is basic Labels and Buttons that don't show correctly on App Startup, thing is, it is not all of them, only some of them! Plus the listbox not rerendering to include new received serial message (except if i resize the form forcing a controls overlap redraw, I haven't finalised the layout yet, so not locked the form size yet, allowing me to force this overlap condition). It was with .Net 6, but as a test, I also switch the build to target .Net 7 and then re-built and copied the .Net 7 version across to the target machine, installed .Net 7 when prompted then ran the app and it does the same thing. This is a new utility App I'm writing for the observatory Dome system, the previous App I wrote for the SkyQualityMeter is still working fine, although I think it was built to target .Net 4.8, can't remember now.

Cheers, I reported it, even just to see if I would get some pointers as to where the problem might be. ticket link.... [Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/WinForms-controls-not-painting-on-Applic/10394580)

Could it not be compiling differently under the new version following a new build of the App, depending on what all they have changed/included with this release?

Find Me On:Web|Youtube|Facebook|Twitter|LinkedIn Folding Stats: Team CodeProjectIt happens. There have been times when I've made code changes to a wrong file (a copy of the file with the same name, at a backup location), recompiled the project, only to see that nothing has changed in the execution., then debugged for several hours; only to realize later that the file path is different. Must have happened to several members here.
