I decompiled a VB.NET application built around 2011.
The decompiled code looks fine - no errors when I load it into VS 2015.
However, when I attempt to open a form designer I get many errors.
A few types:
The type 'System.Windows.Forms.Form' had no property named 'XXXX' where XXXX is a control name like StartStrip1.
The variable 'XXX' is either undeclared or was never assigned.
The name 'XXX' is already used by another object.
Duplicate declaration of member 'XXX'
1. Is this a bug in the decompiler, if so, how can I fix this?
2. Is there a step-by-step guide to decompiling windows forms and getting them to work in VS again?
Thanks

Slight amendment to original post - I'm using VS 2017, not 2015

Hello Jamie,
Yes, this is obviously a bug in JustDecompile. The perfect scenario would be the generated project to compile and work right away with no manual modifications needed, but this is not always the case.
There is no such tutorial. One way to go with it is to fix them error by error manually. However, we would like to take a look at those errors and add them to our backlog. Would it be possible to zip and send me the assembly in question at my email - alexander.dimitrov [at] telerik.com?
