You can do nothing in InitializeComponent. See the comment above the
procedure. It says: Do NOT use the code editor for modifications, use the
Form designer instead.
 
Is there documentation of what we should not change in the Initialize
Component of a Windows form?
For example, the following code was generated by VB .NET:

Me.AutoScaleBaseSize = New System.Drawing.Size(5, 13)
Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(242, 223)
Me.Controls.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.Control() {Me.btnGreeting,
Me.txtName, Me.lblInstruction})
Me.Menu = Me.OptionMenu
Me.Name = "frmHello"
Me.Text = "Hello"
Me.ResumeLayout(False)

I then changed the code to:

With Me
.AutoScaleBaseSize = New System.Drawing.Size(5, 13)
.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(242, 223)
.Controls.AddRange(New System.Windows.Forms.Control() _
{.btnGreeting, .txtName, .lblInstruction})
.Menu = .OptionMenu
.Name = "frmHello"
.Text = "Hello"
.ResumeLayout(False)
End With

This change caused the controls to vanish in designer view, but the code
still ran correctly.

Where can I find more info on what we can do with code in the Initialize
Component?

The designer seems to have problems if you use different rules for
formatting/writing the sourcecode. Some changes can be done by hand
(removing assignment of values to properties and so on), but always make
a copy before modifying.

Whenever you are making the code more efficient, you are modifying the code.
 
Hi Howard,

I've not tested it but if the compiler's any good it will produce code
that does effectively what your With statement does.

There are a few modifications that you can get away with in this area.
Anything that makes it lose sync with the Form's resx file will cause
problems. In the worst case it will screw up the resx file completely and
you'll have to repopulate the Form from scratch.

I share your desire to tinker in that zone - it looks so messy. But that's
one use of Regions - to sweep mess (other people's, of course, lol) under the
carpet.

Regards,
Fergus

Or use a backup...

Hi Cor,

Grrr. Any more talk like that and you'll get <my> back up!!

Lol. ;-D

Fergus

[Does that English make sense? It's funning and punning. :-)]
 
Fergus,
Yes that what I mean that kind of back up newsgroup, but not yours, yours is
a VB.net language group.
:-)

Hi Cor,

I thought I might have to explain. :-)

When you "get someone's back up", it means to make them angry. In the
sense of a hissing cat when it arches its back and fluffs up its fur. So I was
pretending to be angry so that I could use "backup" in that way.

Fergus
 
Fergus,
Exactly the same as in Dutch, in Dutch it has to a literary meaning, but
that is probably in Cockney not the same?

What's a backup?
Click to expand...

A copy of the project used to restore it if the original project is
damaged/lost.

Hello,

Cor said:
This is a news group about Vb.net.
For that question are other newsgroups .

"How to make a backup of a project using VB.NET?" -- the question is
related to VB.NET programming.

I didn't know that... I used "backup" in the meaning of "copy".

In German (maybe Austrian dialect): "Du kannst mir den Buckel
runterrutschen"

You can me the humpback down landslide.

Babel Fish Translation said:
You can down-slip me the embossment

Fergus translated:
You can slide down my arched back?

Fergus rephrased:
My back is so arched you could slide down it.

Fergus rephrased and took out all idiom:
I am considerably angry.

Fergus rephrased and put back the idiom:
I've really got the hump!

;-)

Fergus
