Here's the background. I created a BO library with 5 classes and mapped them successfully to the database. The library compiles without errors.



I then created a new StrataFrame Windows App, set the form to be an MdiContainer and dropped a few controls on it. I then tried to drag one of my BO's (which appeared in the toolbox) on to the form and got the exception in the attached screenshot - 'Failed to create component MyComponent'.



I have attached the project.



I know that you're all busy so I will work on something else while I wait for a response and guidance on how to achieve resolution.



Thank you

noted. thanks

The problem that stopped me a week ago was an exception that was thrown when I tried to drag a bo onto my main form.



Based on your comment, I assumed that if I reopened VS today, that everything should work right. When I reopened the project, the main form refused to display in the designer. Since it didn't have much content, I deleted it and created a new SF Main Form. This also refuses to display in the designer until I close VS and reopen it. What's going on? This is a mess.

My comment had nothing to do with the problem you just posted.  The reason you are getting an error has nothing to do with StrataFrame or your source control program.  You are getting an error because .NET cannot properly create an instance of your form.  There is an error in your form when it attempts to open in the designer.  What is the message you are getting?

I can't get the error now because it did not recur when I closed and reopened VS. My recollection is that is was the same type of error that I got when I tried to drage the bo onto the form a week ago.
