VS Designer not fully displayed

[Álvaro]

Hi guys!

I am working on a project with some Telerik components but I can not display the designer view in VS2022. There is no error, but the designer only displays the components without the final result (see image) so I can not move or render as I wish

I have tried installing the DLL in my GAC as suggested in other posts but still the same.

Any idea?

Hello Álvaro,

Thank you for the provided details.

What you can do is to double-check if the controls in the ToolBox are targeting the same framework version as the DLLs referenced inside the project. For example, if the controls are targeting .Net4.0 and the referenced DLLs in the project targets .Net4.8 may lead to this behavior. Both versions are the same but they target different frameworks. Here is how you can check this:

VS ToolBox:

Project assemblies:

Double-check this and let me know how it goes. You can also, unload the project, delete the bin and obj folders in the project folder, then load the project and rebuild it. Then open the designer and see if that makes it work.

Thanks Dinko

The second suggestion works for me, not the first: unload the project, delete the bin and obj folders in the project folder, then load the project and rebuild it.
