Hello, I am very new to Telerik, but others in my group have been using it for some time and nobody else experiences this issue and cannot reproduce this issue.
I am modifying a GUI that has been generated by another engineer, simply, I am moving a button by only a couple of pixels and the VS2010 designer changes nearly a hundred of lines of code in the designer.cs file. But they only lines of code that prevent the GUI from displaying are included here, and at the bottom of the message is the exception that occurs at run-time.
Original Code (Bold code is removed by the VS designer/Telerik after button is moved):
//
// radScrollablePanel1
//
this.radScrollablePanel1.AutoScroll = true;
this.radScrollablePanel1.AutoScrollMargin = new System.Drawing.Size(0, 0);
this.radScrollablePanel1.AutoScrollMinSize = new System.Drawing.Size(0, 0);
this.radScrollablePanel1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
this.radScrollablePanel1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
this.radScrollablePanel1.Name = "radScrollablePanel1";
this.radScrollablePanel1.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(1);
//
// radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer
//
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.AutoScroll = true;
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel8);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel14);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel1);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel13);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel2);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel12);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel3);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel11);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel4);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel10);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel5);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel9);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel6);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.label12);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.panel7);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Controls.Add(this.GeneralQryResultRichTextBox);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(1, 1);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Name = "PanelContainer";
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(940, 530);
this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer.TabIndex = 0;
After Modification of the button control (Bold code is added by the VS/Telerik after button is moved):
//
// radScrollablePanel1
//
this.radScrollablePanel1.AutoScrollMargin = new System.Drawing.Size(0, 0);
this.radScrollablePanel1.AutoScrollMinSize = new System.Drawing.Size(0, 0);
this.radScrollablePanel1.Controls.Add(this.radScrollablePanel1.PanelContainer);
this.radScrollablePanel1.Dock = System.Windows.Forms.DockStyle.Fill;
this.radScrollablePanel1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(0, 0);
this.radScrollablePanel1.Name = "radScrollablePanel1";
this.radScrollablePanel1.Padding = new System.Windows.Forms.Padding(1);
During runtime I get this exception at the Bolded line in the "After" section:
