VS2012 Custom Control with enum property for Windows Embedded Compact 2013

Marcello Modena 1

I've a form with custom controls created by me with enum properties.
VS2005 open it without problems, but VS2012 can't open the form because of the enum properties in custom control.

Anyone have the same problem?
How can I solve it?

P.S.: if I remove the enum property and insert an int value property all works fine.

Hi @Marcello Modena , thank you for taking time to post this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum. I did some tests on my side, by creating a Windows Forms project > Add a Custom Control with enum properties in Visual Studio 2012. But I failed to reproduce this issue, if possible, could you please share some details with me for further check, such as related code snippets, how did you set enum properties…?

1) You have to test for Windows Embedded Compact 2013
2) The first time you create the custom component the editor shows it correctly, but if you save the project, close and reopen the project and show the form with the custom component gives the error, every time.

Thank you

Hi @Marcello Modena , thank you for the feedback. Since our forum(Microsoft Q&A windows-forms) is about application development using Windows Forms controls and features, and actually it is hard for me to test on Windows Embedded Compact 2013, I suggest you start a new thread in our MSDN Windows Embedded Compact Platform related forums and get more professional help over there. Thanks for your understanding.
