Error in designer when working with SF User control

Jeff Pagley — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 13:50:00 GMT

I have just upgraded my project to Visual Studio 2012 and I added a new SF user control to the project. While working on the SF user control, I am periodically getting the attached error in the designer. To clear the error I have to exit out of the VS 2012 and reload my project. Why am I getting this error?

Thanks,

Jeff

WOW!

Thanks for the link.

Building another development laptop for a "possible solution" is not going to happen anytime soon.

I have to make other plans.

I used to get lots of these all day long a while ago. At one point, I put together a new box with Win8 and VS2012 and since then I have never had any issues. On my old machine, it started after I upgraded from VS2008 to VS2010 I think. The environment probably has some effect on this, but I was never able to find out the culprit.

You're not the only one getting the error, Jeff. So far, we're thinking it has to do with the way Visual Studio is lazy-loading the elements in the solution explorer. We're expecting an item to be in the project tree when it's not. When we have a working fix, we will let everyone know.
