I am working on a local solution where windows UltraGrid is used, and cannot get the "UltraWinGrid designer" to show.
i can edit the grid no my colleagues machine. when he opens the control in vs2010, a "START" button appears on the bottom which launches the designer.
i cannot get that start button to show, and therefore can't edit the grids columns.
I installed (and re-installed) the following components no my machine:
NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 2 CLR 2.0
NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 1 CLR 2.0
NetAdvantage for .NET 2008 Vol. 2 CLR 3.5
and also run the "Create visual studio toolbox tab" script.
What exactly do i need to install to get UltraWinGrid Designer to show up?
Visual Studio 2010Application: CLR 3.5OS: Win XP 64bit
Hello,
Looks like "Show the Start! button and prompt on the control at designtime" option is unchecked; you can go to WinGrid designer using the smart tag -> Designer Dialog ; this will open the UltraWinGrid designer for you.
On click of Preferences button you will see a dialog with some settings are checked please make sure the following is checked
"Show the 'Start!' button and prompt on the control at designtime .
"Show the Quick Start designer when a new control instance is drawn on the form."
I have also attached a document with screenshots which explains the same.
Please let me know if it resolves your issue.

no smart tag
Looks like you are missing designer assemblies. Do you get this issue only with grid or other controls too? Can you make sure you have Infragistics2.win.v8.2.Design assembly in your GAC?
Please make sure the installed version and the build is same as the referenced version and build in your project.
May be you have some specific build of 2008 installed and your project is referencing some other build which is not installed in your machine.
You can go to references -> click on the winGrid reference -> go to properties and check its version, make sure the same version is installed in your machine.
Let me know if you have any questions on this matter.
Infragistics2.win.8.2.Design is not in GAC.
are you certain that is the cause?
if so, what do i need to install to put them there? (i installed packages listed above)
Since you have installed NetAdvantage for .NET which includes ASP.NET, Winforms, Silverlight and WPF; make sure you have installed Winforms.
As it is clear that you can drag and drop UltraGrid on to the form it means you have Winforms. If something got corrupted during installation re installing only Winforms should resolve the issue.
If you go to My Keys and Download and under NetAdvantage for .NET you will also find NetAdvantage for Windows Forms 2008 Vol.2 Product Only. You may uninstall Windows forms from your machine and download this file and re install windows forms. See if it resolves your issue.
All the designer files should get added to the GAC after successful installation. Please make sure Infragistics.License file is also added to the GAC. If you think only Infragistics2.win.v8.2.design file is not getting added then you may copy this designer assembly from your colleague's machine and add it to the GAC manually and see if it works for you.
Please let me know if you have any questions on this matter.
Hi,
I just wanted to know if you were able to solve your issue based on Mike's suggestions or you still need help? Just let me know.
Thank you.
What version of NetAdvantage is your project built on? What is the build number that it is using? For you to view designer all you need is designer assemblies in the GAC (for example Infragistics2.win.v8.2.design if your project is build on 2008 volume 2).
If your project is built on 2008 volume 1 then you need designer assemblies for 2008 volume 1. I have created a case for you, you will be able to see the case in few minutes in your my support activity page.
Please send me list of all the assemblies that you see in your GAC to this case. Also send me the specific build number that you are using.
Look for the Infraigstics2.Win.Design assembly in the GAC. This is installed with NetAdvantage, so you should not have to do anything to get this file installed manually.
Also, make sure your solution/projects are NOT referencing this file. It should be in the GAC, not referenced directly by your project(s).
what exact components do i need to have in the GAC for UltraWinGrid Designer to show up?
