Concrete Implementation of Generic Form Not Working in Designer
- by Dov
I have a base class, defined as below (I'm also using DevExpress components):
public abstract partial class BaseFormClass<R> : XtraForm where R : DataRow
{
...
}
Contrary to what I've read from elsewhere, I'm still able to design this class. I didn't have to create a concrete class from it to do so. But, when I create a concrete class descended from it (as below), that class won't work in the designer.
public partial class ConcreteFormClass : BaseFormClass<StronglyTypedRow>
{
...
}
I get this message:
The designer could not be shown for
this file because none of the classes
within it can be designed. The
designer inspected the following
classes in the file:
ConcreteFormClass --- The base
class
'BaseFormClass'
could not be loaded. Ensure the
assembly has been referenced and that
all projects have been built.
Has anyone seen this before? Any sort of known workaround?
