I hate to be the person who has trouble with everything but -

I just downloaded your BrowseDialog Sample and opened it up in VS. There is no References section. When I try to add references, even to the MS assemblies like "System", nothing appears. If I create a new project the references all get added as expected. I'm sorry that I don't know enough about VS to diagnose this sort of thing.



What could possible be wrong with your sample/my system that could cause this? and how to I fix it now? and the next time it happens (the night before I'm supposed to release a new version and get stopped in my tracks by a dumb problem)?

In a VB project, there is no references section until you click the "Show All Files" button at the top of the solution explorer.  Once you do that, you should be able to see all of the references for the project.  The DevExpress ones (if it's a DevExpress sample) will probably be in error if you don't have the same version that was used to compile them.

Yeah. I have almost dropped VB completely so I am not familiar with its behavior at all. Thanks.
