Question

There is Button2 control on form. I have issue with changing its name:

Property value is not valid

or

Code generation for property

Button2 control Misc properties:

Button2 control Misc properties

How can I solve this problem?

As I mentioned I should add to my project DesignTimeAttributes.xmta file with Build Action: None?

I use .NET Compact Framework 3.5/Visual Studio 2008/OpenNETCF Smart Device Framework 2.3 library (Community Edition)

Was it helpful?

Solution

I had the same problem. I removed all initialisation code (beside the call to InitializeComponent) in the constructor but still had this problem. I could solve the issue by adding a DesignTimeAttributes.xmta file with the following contents:

<Class Name="OpenNETCF.Widows.Forms.Button2">
    <DesktopCompatible>true</DesktopCompatible>
    <DesignTimeVisible>true</DesignTimeVisible>
    <Property Name="BackgroundImage">
      <Category>Misc</Category>
      <DefaultValue>
        <Type>System.Drawing.Image, System.Drawing, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a</Type>
      </DefaultValue>
      <Description>The background image displayed for the control.</Description>
    </Property>
  </Class>
