VS is adding code when compiling

[Jonas L]

I have created a derived version of a normal form, e.g. called MyForm
(public class MyForm : System.Windows. Forms.Form). The form is simply
specifing a standard icon that we use within the company. This fairly
straight forward and not a problem. We have planed to use this form as
the base form to all other forms in our application.

The problem is the following...

When adding a button (or any other control) to the myForm the
designer/IDE(?) adds some code automatically in the
InitializeCompo nent method. This is also normal but in my case it add
more code than normal. Below is two pieces of code that shows my
problem. Executing the solution/project causes the form icon to change
from the company specific icon to the standard (blue/yellow/red)
icon!? If I remove the following piece of code the problem disappears,
but returns if I add a new control to the form.

this.Icon = ((System.Drawin g.Icon)(resourc es.GetObject("$ this.Icon")));

This seems to a problem that is local to the solution and/or project.
I have tried to replicate the problem in other solutions without
success :( If I use a normal form (derived from
System.Windows. Forms.Form) the problem does not emerge!?

What have I done to deserve this?? How do I solve this?

Normally the InitializeCompo nent method looks like this...

private void InitializeCompo nent()
{
this.button1 = new System.Windows. Forms.Button();
this.SuspendLay out();
// button1
this.button1.Lo cation = new System.Drawing. Point(32, 56);
this.button1.Na me = "button1";
this.button1.Ta bIndex = 0;
this.button1.Te xt = "button1";
// Form1
this.AutoScaleB aseSize = new System.Drawing. Size(5, 13);
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing. Size(292, 273);
this.Controls.A dd(this.button1 );
this.Name = "Form1";
this.Text = "Form1";
this.ResumeLayo ut(false);
}

In my solution it looks like this...

private void InitializeCompo nent()
{
System.Resource s.ResourceManag er resources = new
System.Resource s.ResourceManag er(typeof(Form1 ));
this.button1 = new System.Windows. Forms.Button();
this.SuspendLay out();
//
// button1
//

this.button1.Ac cessibleName =
resources.GetSt ring("button1.A ccessibleName") ;
this.button1.An chor =

this.button1.Ba ckgroundImage =

this.button1.Do ck =

this.button1.En abled =

this.button1.Im ageAlign =

this.button1.Im ageIndex =
((int)(resource s.GetObject("bu tton1.ImageInde x")));
this.button1.Im eMode =

this.button1.Lo cation =

this.button1.Ta bIndex =

this.button1.Te xt = resources.GetSt ring("button1.T ext");
this.button1.Te xtAlign =

this.Background Image =

this.ClientSize = ((System.Drawin g.Size)(resourc es.GetObject("$ this.ClientSize ")));
this.Controls.A dd(this.button1 );
this.Enabled = ((bool)(resourc es.GetObject("$ this.Enabled")) );

Check the Localizable property on the form. You probably have set it to
true, which makes all the properties be put in resources which allow you
to localize the form.
