Serious VB.NET Bug :(

[andy1]

Hello,

 

I am writing a program in VB.NET 2002 but I have run into some serious bugs. When I try to click a control on a form, the properties won't show up. When I try to type the code editor, I can't type ctrl (which means shortcuts won't work either), delete, enter, arrow keys, or backspace. Finally, when I click start on the toolbar and then stop my program, the buttons on the toolbar stay disabled! What can I do to fix these problems? If I got VB.NET 2003, would the bugs be fixed?

 

P.S. I already tried restarting my computer, and I have 512 MB of RAM.

Have you tried a reinstall of .NET 2002? I've never run into any of these...

I just did a full reinstall last night. Did not help :(

I just did a full reinstall last night. Did not help :(

try closing MSN Plus if you have it,

when MSN Plus is open, and Boss Protection is on, pressing Ctrl + Space doesnt work...

but i have no idea why everythign else you said doesnt work..

 

 

btw - getting vs 2003 probably wont help because maybe its ur comp? try running an AV(such as Norton) or a spyware remover program(such as AdAware).

 

see if taht helps

 

btw do other programs such as NotePad and Word still do the same thing?,

I've had the "properties" error hit me. The window shows up, but it is resized to a very small width. Just resize it to get it back into shape. This took me forever to figure out.

Actually, the properties window is at normal size but the list is empty, and the combobox where you select a control is also empty.

I have a form with a UserControls from the same project, and when I delete it, all the bugs go away. The control has a Timer on it with Interval set to 1, and on the Tick event it does a redraw using DirectX 9.

 

I disabled the Timer, and made a method in the control to enable it, and now everything works again

 

I will keep you updated if there is another problem :)
