Package Load Failure in VS


Package Load Failure in VS BBM

visual studio .net general:
Hi,

I get the following message error message when I try to view the designer
for a user control. This particular control is one coded by someone else and
imported into my project (three separate files - .vb, .Designer.vb, .resx).
When I create my own forms and controls, the designer seems to be OK. There
are no compile errors after import. Sometimes when I attempt to display the
control I get a "blank" version that looks like a panel with no controls on
it. The message is...

Package 'PresentationDesignVisualStudio' has failed to load properly (GUID =
{E58CA8B-BCC4-4559-AD59-D62EB6D58A22} ). Please contact package vendor for
assistance. Application restart is recommended due to possible environment
corruption. Would you like to disable loading this package in the future?
You may use 'devenv / resetskippkgs' to re-enable package loading.

Any ideas as to what is causing this and how do I fix it? I'd just re-load
VS, but as I mentioned it seems to work fine on my own forms.

Thanks.

Hi Luke,

I'm using VS 2005 and Visual Basic.Net.

Another probably significant fact is that when I added the files to my
project, I got compiler errors. The controls are derived from an abstract
ancestor control called WinPart. My project (where I copied the files) is
not named the same as the project in which the controls were originally
coded. My project has a copy of WinPart in it, but the initial errors in the
control were because the inherits portion of the class declaration for the
controls was pointing to the WinPart code in the original project. I changed
this to point to the one in my project (which is identical). The code
compiles and executes fine, I just can't see it in the designer.

I'd be happy to send you a copy of the source, but you didn't give me an
email address. You didn't mention one in your messange and your profile is
blank.

Hello,

Thank you for the update. My email is lukezhan@microsoft.com. Please send
me the source code including Winpart as you mentioned. I will perform
further research on it to see what happened.

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang

Hello,

What is the version of VS.NET you are working with, 2003 or 2005? And, is
the user control created with same version? Is there any other
controls/components on the User control, for examlple, some ActiveX
control?

To perform more research on this issue, is it possible for you to send me
the control's source file? (to get my actual email, please remove
"online").

Sincerely,

Luke Zhang
