Unable to compile a fresh fork of this project #29

Closed yannduran closed 6 years ago

After forking this excellent project, I tried to compile the solution, but I got the following build error:

BetterStartPage\BetterStartPage.Control\StartPageBootstrapper.cs(254,44,254,62): error CS1061: 'UserControl' does not contain a definition for 'FindAncestor' and no extension method 'FindAncestor' accepting a first argument of type 'UserControl' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) Build has been canceled.

This is not related to update 15.5, as it was the same in 15.4 (and possibly earlier).

I could not exactly see this error but yes there were some other compile related errors on a fresh clone. With the bugfixes for #28 I cleaned the project a bit and could compile it then on a fresh environment.

And it is also mentionable that you need older Visual Studio Versions installed due to the backwards compatibility of the plugin.
