Open Dental Forum

Hello,
I get the following error when I try to open the design view of FormOpenDental.cs;

"The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: FormOpenDental --- The base class 'OpenDental.ODForm' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has been referenced and that all projects have been built. PopupEvent --- The base class 'System.Object' cannot be designed. ODGlobalUserActiveHandler --- The base class 'System.Object' cannot be designed."

what could be the issue?

I'm not exactly sure what could be causing that error. Do have .NET 4.7.2 installed? Recently we updated all our projects to that version.
Are you able to build the OpenDentalProject? The other day one of our developers committed some code that made OpenDental dependent on one of our private repositories.

Hi,
Yes I am actually using the latest .NET, yes I'm able to build and run the project, but I still need to make changes in that page. I downloaded the 3 latest versions and they all have that error, how can I fix that?

When I get designer errors like these, usually some combination of cleaning the solution, rebuilding the solution, and closing Visual Studio does the trick.
