.NET Forum / Windows Forms / Design Time / May 2004Designer properties of a control losing/resetting values when placed on a form
I have developed a number of custom control components and given them a number of design time properties. Serialisation works most of the time but sometimes after building, certain properties will magically reset to their default values ... even though the code in the InitializeComponent call says it is still there !!! Seems to be happening on enumerations alot more as the project grows. It doesn't happen all the time but when it starts to happen it doesn't go away ... Usually that form the control is being used on will do it for ever. We all know that the 2003IDE is a little unstable but what the hell is going on here. Only a Microsoft guru will be able to shed some light on this one. All the attributes are being applied ... hey it works mostly but sometimes things just go weird. Dear Mr.Frustrated I am having the exact same problem and would also love an answer to this. To recap, I create or inherit from a control and then add my own simple enum property. It works fine most the time but for some instances of the control the IDE will constantly keep reseting the property. Currently I have to hard-code the values into my code to keep the enum settings on the property which therefore kinda makes the visual editor useless.

Just a thought...are your enums declared inside of a class? They have to be inside a namespace for VS.NET IDE to work with them. > I have developed a number of custom control components and given them a number > of design time properties.

Spot On ... but where is that in the docs ? I suppose one can argue that it is inbetween the lines. For those who are an object purist, encapsulated enums in a class require you to do a lot more work I have since found out ! Appreciate the response. >Just a thought...are your enums declared inside of a class? They have to be >inside a namespace for VS.NET IDE to work with them.
