I had a working program (Windows Forms Project) complete with buttons and the underlying code.
In an attempt to shortcut my work I decided to add tab controls and move everything in my main form into tab 1 (cut and pasted).
As you can imagine it didn't work. I then got rid of the tab conrol and pasted everything back into the main form but the program doesn't work anymore.
Can someone tell me what's wrong please?
I'm working in MS V studio 2008 express
Thanks.
Apart from the non use of source / version control, you're going to have to expound on the details slightly more to get any useful reponses.
If you copy controls the event-code won't follow.
If you copy the event-code the controls won't follow.
You have to copy both, but even then it's kinda risky just to copy and expect it to work.
Keep backups!
Sounds like in dragging/dropping the buttons onto a tab page, VS will have deleted the button click event associations. Check in each of the button event properties to ensure the click events are still linked to the appropriate function.
maybe you can get the code of your original form1.designer file there are all the controls declared in your project and there are also the event declared if i remember right, (correct me if i am wrong).
this is the code of a old form.desginer.cs file of one of my C# project maybe it can help you:
