I am using VS 2010 for a Winforms porject. To see the behavior I add a new UserControl to the project and then open the visual designer for the user control. From the Toolbox I drag a UltraLabel, UltraButton etc to the new user control but it does not show in the designer but instead it shows in a container below like a Dataset would if you added it via the designer. If I change the Text property of the UltraLabel, the text does not show anywhere on the UserControl (since I can't even see the UltraLabel on the UserControl I didn't expect to see the text but I thought it was worth testing). I'm wondering how to proceed so I can use the Infragistics controls? Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks

If controls like the UltraLabel show up in the component tray, it means that Visual Studio is unable to find the Designer assembly for that control. For some reason, when Visual Studio cannot find the designer assembly, they just automatically assume that every control is a component.
Anyway, if the version utility fixed this, then it means your project was probably references multiple versions of the Infragistics assemblies - or maybe not multiple versions, but just the wrong version.
My guess is that your toolbox is out of date and you need to update it to make sure it's pointing to the right versions of the controls. The Infragistics Toolbox Utility should correct that for you.
hi,
I have a VS2010 solution, referring to NetAdvantage's 11.2 version free assemblies. I could not use the version utility to upgrade my solutions/projects asit apparently could not detect anything to upgrade when it is version free assemblies we are referring to in our projects.
After manually upgrading the projects and clearing the license.licx, all controls disappear from the form on the designer - instead they appear on the component tray.
Please advise ASAP. Thank you.
Hello Hertel,
Most probably here you would have to set the spesific version to False of the assemblies that are refered in this project, close the designer, clean and rebuild you application and verify your issue is fixed or it still persist after that.
If you have any other questions please feel free to let us know.
hi I have followed the steps as you instructed, error still occurs. and only occurs when I am referencing to the version free assemblies, but not the versioned assemblies.
Could you please verify that all of the Version free assemblies are in the GAC? If the visual studio designer couldn't find the correct version in the GAC they might appear in the component tray instead.
Please let me know if you are still experiencing the same behavior.
I am using VS 2010; i installed Evaluation copy of Infragistic controls, When i go to VS solution, i am not seeing the controls on tool box, please help ASAP
