Something very bizzare is happening and I have no clue as to why.
Whatever changes I make to a form in the IDE whether it be adding a button, removing a button, or changing the text (title of the form), it will show in the IDE designer. But when I run it, it's as if none of the changes were made. A button I removed is still there and the code behind it still executes although I commented that code out.
Saving the files doesn't fix it.
Closing the solution and reopening it doesn't fix it.
Exiting Visual Studio altogether and restarting it doesn't fix it.
And restarting Windows XP doesn't either.
It's as if my application is stuck where I left it last night. When I reboot everything, launch Visual Studio, and open the solution/project, the IDE designer shows the visual changes and the code changes I made today. But when I run it from the IDE, the button that I removed and the code behind that I commented out is still there and executes. Makes no sense to me. It's actually kind of freaking me out. Where is ti coming from
This might or might not be related. But I notice that the icons for each of the controls in the toolbox are not showing. Some bland whitish generic image appears for all the controls to a certain point. Around the area of the Data controls, the actual icons start appearing. Suspected this might be a memory issue. But when I open a single form project with no other applications running, I still have the same problem. I only have 512 meg of memory. If it is a memory (lack of ) problem, why all of a sudden now
Anybody have any ideas I am stuck dead in the water on my project.
Thanks!
Bizzare problem! IDE won't accept any changes.

The following are the stated memory requirements for Vs2005

But i finally found the problem. I selected that control and went to the property window, noticed that its size (width and height) were showing with long decimal digits. So i deleted those decimal digits, and the resizing problem is gone.
Just to add this as a note to someone who might have the same experiences.

Hi,
Which edition of Vista have you got Business or Ultimate or other
Out of curiosity what motherboard and processor and speed is your P.C as well please
Did you build it yourself
I bet you have Office Pro 2007 too
I'm not too keen on it though myself
.
I was thinking of installing my free full copy of Vista Business edition to another partition sometime soon.
Free courtesy of the MSDNAA ( academic-alliance ) programme.

I have 2 gigs on Vista. I constantly run a memory monitor I wrote and it's always interesting to watch. Right now my system has very low utilization of physical memory, 500 megs. But there's a lot of virtual memory being used in the area of 1500 megs.
Thank you for including gals.

Hi,
I have 768Mb of memory and both VS.Net Professional 2003 and VS.Net Professional 2005 installed.
I can even run them both at the same time.
I'm thinking of removing 2003 but i'm going to convert all my project/solutions to 2005 first....someday.

P.S.
Finally, you might like to get the FREE Add-Ins VSIP DVD, i've just got mine.

Hi,
It's now accepting the changes. And I found out what the problem was. I'm just posting this in case someone else trips over themselves like I did.
What I did wrong: while testing my app two days ago, I was clicking the system clock in the lower-right corner and bumping up the date by a day to test some date related stuff. Anyway, I forgot to set the date back until yesterday. But by doing so, the build process was checking the dates of the files to see which ones have changed since they were last compiled. By bringing the date back to prior to the date I had last compiled (i.e., making it the correct date), I made the IDE think nothing had changed and therefore was not compiling the changed files and simply executing the last version. Today, the date change "caught up" and the IDE can now tell what's changed and what's not.
Although I'm still not sure what's causing the icons in the Toolbox to not show.
Is 512 meg of memory not considered enough for VS .NET 2005 I've been thinking of adding additional memory but don't want to go through the hassle for nothing. I develop out of my home and am curious how much memory you guys (and gals) have on your systems.
Thanks,
Greg
