This one is a little hard to explain, but I will give it my best shot.
I have a vb.net desktop application developed. I am using VS 2010.
I have a reference set to Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.vs
Some of my forms have a ShapeContainer with one or more LineShape objects. These items can be found in my xxx.Designer.vb file. When I run the application lines appear based on the contents of code like this that I found in the xxx.Designer.vb file:
'
'ShapeContainer1
'
Me.ShapeContainer1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(0, 0)
Me.ShapeContainer1.Margin = New System.Windows.Forms.Padding(0)
Me.ShapeContainer1.Name = "ShapeContainer1"
Me.ShapeContainer1.Shapes.AddRange(New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Shape() {Me.LineShape11, Me.LineShape10, Me.LineShape12, Me.LineShape9, Me.LineShape8, Me.LineShape7, Me.LineShape6, Me.LineShape5, Me.LineShape4, Me.LineShape3, Me.LineShape2, Me.LineShape1})
Me.ShapeContainer1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(816, 760)
Me.ShapeContainer1.TabIndex = 35
Me.ShapeContainer1.TabStop = false
'
'LineShape11
'
Me.LineShape11.Name = "LineShape11"
Me.LineShape11.X1 = 742
Me.LineShape11.X2 = 786
Me.LineShape11.Y1 = 490
Me.LineShape11.Y2 = 490
For some reason, when I look at the design view of the forms that have these objects, I can't actually see the lines. I have to run the application to actually see them. I don't know why this is. It might be a holdover from when the application was originally developed over 20 years ago, but that's beside the point.
I need to be able to see the various LineShape objects in the design view so I can move some of them around as needed.
I initially thought it was because I didn't have "Visual Basic Powerpack" entry in my toolbox so I added it. I still don't see the ShapeControl nor its contents. I can find the ShapeControl1 in the Properties tab, but I can't edit any of the properties. I can only find them in the Designer.vb file.

Thanks in advance,
