unable to see wingrids on designer or access the ultragrid designer
posted

I just joined a project that is using an old version of Infragistics from 2006. (6.3.20063.1074) We are using Visual Studio 2008 SP1 and there are all kinds of problems with the Infragistics controls in the current setup. This project cannot upgrade to the latest version because it would require hundreds of teams to re-deploy. The list of problems are:

1.  Unable to visually see the WinGrid on the designer form, however there is an icon representation of each grid in the "control area" at the bottom of the designer.

2.  Since I'm unable to see the WinGrid in the designer area I am unable to right click it and choose "UltraGrid Designer" to design a custom row layout needed for the project. Right clicking the icon in the control area shows no option for UltraGrid Designer and nor is there any such option visible in the properties window.

3.  When opening a form with a WinGrid two issues occur:

1.  in it the .resx file is re-written incorrectly and specifically the .Location attribute is reset to "0, 0" which is causing a major issue.

2.  The designer is re-written incorrectly for the bands. The part that starts with global should not be there it should just be string.empty or "".

Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridBand ultraGridBand1 = new Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.UltraGridBand(global::Dell.IDD.Customer.Resources.Customer.customerapplication_customerapplication_partyhistory_lblshowallnotes, -1);

Any suggestions are welcome to resolve these issues.

    If the grid shows up as a component in the component tray, this is an indication that Visual Studio is unable to find the grid's Design assembly.

    This could be caused by a problem with your installation of NetAdvantage - for example, if the design assembly is no properly installed in the GAC.

    Or, it could be caused by setting CopyLocal on the grid assembly reference in the project to true.

    Or, it could happen if your project contains mixed versions of the assemblies. If you have different versions of the Infragistics assemblies referenced in your project, for example.
