I have a UserControl named "UserControl1" with a label inside it and a custom property:
[Browsable(true)]
public new string Text
{
get { return label1.Text; }
set { label1.Text = value; }
}
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
This UserControl is used in a form named "Form1". In the designer appears the property but when I write some text and build the application the text is cleared. I can see, the property isn't written in the Form1.Designer.cs.
If I change the property name to some other word all is ok.. Note the "new" keyword to override the base variable..
I have found a similar question here but there is no solution.
Greetings!
EDIT: There is no hardcoded value:
UserControl1.Designer.cs:
// label1
//
this.label1.AutoSize = true;
this.label1.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(64, 63);
this.label1.Name = "label1";
this.label1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(35, 13);
this.label1.TabIndex = 0;
//
// UserControl1
//
this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
this.Controls.Add(this.label1);
this.Name = "UserControl1";
this.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(181, 136);
this.ResumeLayout(false);
this.PerformLayout();
Form1.Designer.cx:
//
// userControl11
//
this.userControl11.Location = new System.Drawing.Point(35, 43);
this.userControl11.Name = "userControl11";
this.userControl11.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(181, 136);
this.userControl11.TabIndex = 0;
//
// Form1
//
this.AutoScaleDimensions = new System.Drawing.SizeF(6F, 13F);
this.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font;
this.ClientSize = new System.Drawing.Size(284, 262);
this.Controls.Add(this.userControl11);
this.Name = "Form1";
this.Text = "Form1";
this.ResumeLayout(false);
To reproduce the problem just create a new windows form application, create an user control with a label inside it and with the property named "Text".
Try using override
instead of new
for the Text property and include the DesignerSerializationVisibility
attribute:
[Browsable(true)]
[DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Visible)]
public override string Text {
get { return label1.Text; }
set { label1.Text = value; }
}
