Visual Studio 2003 Initialise Component Question... 2

[sqlsamurai]

I used to be able to add code after InitializeComponent in the contructor for a form in Visual Studio 2003. I'm not sure where this got moved to in Visual Studio 2005. When I look in the partial class for the form I'm able to find the InitializeComponent method but I dont know where its getting called.

I've included screenshots from Visual Studio 2003 and 2005.

Write 'sub new' and press enter ...

Where does InitializeComponent get called from in Visual Studio 2005?

 

[TipGiver]

In both versions, it is called in the constructor. In 2003 version, as soon as you expand the #Region " Windows Form Designer generated code " you see it there. In 2005 version, you navigate to the Form1.Designer.vb and write 'sub new' followed by enter, in order to see the constructor. In 2005 it is not shown by default.
These partial classes can be a little tricky

Just a side note here - don't manually edit anything in .Designer.vb file as it will be rebuilt (overwriting any changes you make) whenever you add a control or change a property value using the visual designer.


Hope this helps.
