VS.NET, WinForms, Design, & the Red X

Author	Message
Craig Cod #1 / 5	VS.NET, WinForms, Design, & the Red X Anyone ever come across the "Red X" when attempting to view a WinForm within the form designer. We have a number of developers working on the same application, working through Visual SourceSafe. One developer checked in some work. Four other developers checked it out just fine. Two developers checked it out fine. Coudn't view the form in Designer. Any suggestions or ideas?

Jeffrey Huntsma #2 / 5	VS.NET, WinForms, Design, & the Red X Have everyone double-check their Project References, especially if there are any ActiveX's or Third Party controls on the WinForm Jeff Quote: > Anyone ever come across the "Red X" when attempting to view a WinForm within > the form designer.

Craig Cod #3 / 5	VS.NET, WinForms, Design, & the Red X It seemed to work for one developer so far to reinstall VS.NET. Go figure.

Adam Kinne #4 / 5	VS.NET, WinForms, Design, & the Red X We have the same setup and the same problem here. One of our custom controls has a mysterious "Cannot widen from target type to primitive type" Error, so I believe the "Red X" is a result of that for us. Our solution has about 8 projects in it, and its starting to break down. We sometimes get errors where it says it can't find a .dll it can't reference and all sorts of fun stuff. The app still runs fine, we just get the "Red X" sometimes :p -Adam Kinney Quote: > Anyone ever come across the "Red X" when attempting to view a WinForm within > the form designer.

Doug #5 / 5	VS.NET, WinForms, Design, & the Red X We just had similar problem. Seemed to be caused by the project files being read only - at least that was the last thing we changed in desperation just before it started working again.
