    Windows Forms: Initialize Component in VB .NET 2002

    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.AutoScaleBas eSize = New System.Drawing. Size(5, 13)
    Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing. Size(242, 223)
    Me.Controls.Add Range(New System.Windows. Forms.Control() {Me.btnGreeting ,
    Me.txtName, Me.lblInstructi on})
    Me.Menu = Me.OptionMenu
    Me.Name = "frmHello"
    Me.Text = "Hello"
    Me.ResumeLayout (False)

    I then changed the code to:

    With Me
    .AutoScaleBaseS ize = New System.Drawing. Size(5, 13)
    .ClientSize = New System.Drawing. Size(242, 223)
    .Controls.AddRa nge(New System.Windows. Forms.Control() _
    {.btnGreeting, .txtName, .lblInstruction })
    .Menu = .OptionMenu
    .Name = "frmHello"
    .Text = "Hello"
    .ResumeLayout(F alse)
    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?

      You can do nothing in InitializeCompo nent. See the comment above the
      procedure. It says: Do NOT use the code editor for modifications, use the
      Form designer instead.

          I'm not modifying, just making the code more efficient.

              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

                                  This is a news group about Vb.net.

                                          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.

                                              Regards,
                                              Fergus
