    Can't delete control

    Hello,

    I have a project that ever time I go to delete a control the IDE adds
    it back in when I run the program.

    I have tried everything I can think of. It seems that when the control
    is deleted the IDE does not remove the code it has auto generated to go
    with it.

    Any help on how to fix this would be great.

    Thanks

      Hi,

      Did you try deleting the control and then going into the windows form
      designer generated code section - then delete all references to that control
      in there (although I must admit I don't know why you should have to do
      this).

      HTH,

      Bernie Yaeger

          Thanks for the quick replay. Yes I did that. However every time I run
          the program the controls reappear.

          I'm starting to think I might just have to redo the whole form.

              Hi,

              Can you send me the code for the form in question? Zip it up and send it to
              me at berniey@optonli ne.net.

              by the way, which version of vs .net are you running? Which framework?

              Bernie

                  Babber,

                  A trick is,

                  Rename your form
                  Create a new form with the original name
                  Cut the code from the not designer part from the old form (in this sequence)
                  Paste that in your new form
                  Select all (controls whatever) on your original form
                  Cut (not copy)
                  Paste that on your new form

                  The sequence that you do this is important, because otherwise by instance
                  all handles are gone.

                  I hope this helps,

                  Cor
