HELP! Properties Window quit displaying ALL properties!!! Jeffrey Huntsman
10/28/2003 3:36:35 PM
visual studio .net setup: This started happening to me this morning. Since then, I have done the
following to no avail:

1. Repair VS.NET 2003 EA
2. Repair .NET Framework 1.1
3. Uninstall VS.NET 2003 EA
4. Reinstall VS.NET 2003 EA

Nothing has worked. Visual Studio is practically unusable without being able
to see ANY properties for a selected object.

Does anyone know of a possible solution for this???

Thanks,

Jeffrey

OK, I decided to pursue this using another instance of the VS.NET Debugger
and actually try and debug the process. I found out that the root cause of
this was an exception being thrown when the designer tried to instantiate an
instance of the form's base class. The exhibited behavior (no properties)
certainly did not lend even a clue as to the cause of the problem.

HOW ABOUT SOME ERROR
MESSAGES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jeffery,

Did you ever get a response to this? I and several other engineers at
my company have had the same problem. The only way we've been able to
work-around is to completely reinstall VS.

[Yes, error messages would be nice, wouldn't they? If Microsoft had
programmed the HAL 9000 computer in 2001: A Space Oddessy, it would
never had explained *why* is wouldn't open the pod bay doors, it would
just grey out the button or say "access denied; contact your system
administrator".]
