I have watched the videoand downloaded the MSDN codeon the repeater control from here.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/cc411420.aspx

How is this resolved?

But whenI load the project code I get an IDE error that says:

To prevent possible data loss before loading the designer, the following errors must be resolved:

The designer cannot process the code at line 62: Me.DataRepeater1.Anchor = CType((((System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Top Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Bottom) _ Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Left) _ Or System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles.Right), System.Windows.Forms.AnchorStyles) The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.

Instances of this error (1)

Thanks!

Hi msny,

Would you please download the changed project from here ? I've made it work on my side. Please make sure the corresponding version of Visual Basic PowerPack is installed on your machine.

If that doesn't work on your side, please feel free to post back.

Hi msny,

I can see the problem. As the error indicates, we can put the code in line62 after the InitializeComponent in the constructor to solve this problem.

Actually, based on my test, I cut off the code in line 62, and build the project, after then I paste the code still in line 62, and rebuild the project. This can also solve the problem. But I am not sure if it's solved by accident. So I still suggest you try the first solution.


Best regards,

I'm confused, moving line 62 does not change the error, no matter where I put it.
Here is all the code block for your to see.
The datarepeater line of code shows up underlined, as not defined. Yet if I create a new
repeater on another form its fine.
What do you suggest?
