Dear Team,

I am facing a very strange issue. As soon as I add any component via the addin module designer, the addin loads but does not show up.

Please see this video where I show you this issue.

Any pointers for me please?

Thanks
Ankur

I've had similar experience in the past as well, can you compare to see what has actually changed before you undo your changes?
I feel like the Me.components for some of the controls got removed somehow.

Hi nwein,

Yes, thats exactly what seems to be happening. For some reasons, the components get removed. How did you solve it?

Yeah, I believe it's a bug in ADX. The way to fix it is really to compare the designer and only apply the actual changes you've made. It's not pretty but if you only have small amount of changes it shouldn't be too bad. Otherwise, yeah Andrei et al need to fix it :)

OK, so I tried changing the code by adding the container and the me.component in all the lines. But then after some time the addin again removes all the component code. Not sure what is going on really.

Thank you, Nir!

Hello Mohan,

In the IDE, open Tools | Options | Windows Forms Designer and set Optimized Code Generation = False. You may need to restore the code after that.

We think that the issue occurs because some other Visual Studio extension interferes with the Windows Forms designer used in the add-in module.
