My humble attempt to bring the new Modern UI alias Metro UI of Windows 8 to .NET Windows Forms applications.

Failed to create component 'MetroButton' - .NET Core 5 #121

Open robdplatt opened 3 years ago

robdplatt commented 3 years ago

I have multiple WinForm projects that I've upgraded from .NET Framework 4.7.2 to .NET Core 5. The projects that referenced MetroModernUI controls failed to load in the designer - though they compiled and ran just fine.

If I tried to open the form in the designer it would open blank/white with no ability to interact with it.

I eventually found that if I removed my references to MetroButton, the form would load without issue.

If I drag the MetroButton control onto the form, I get the following error:

Failed to create component 'MetroButton'. The error message follows:

I haven't tried other controls. My form is a MetroForm.
