First off I'm not sure if this is actually a sharpGL issue or a SharpDevelop issue.
I was trying to create a basic WinForms application to help get some OpenGL experience. I can get the SharpGL NuGet packages installed with no problems and I can run the sample programs that come with SharpGL but when I create a new project and drop the OpenGLControl onto the form nothing happens.
I was expecting to see a control icon appear on, or underneath, the form and see some code get added to the designer.cs file. Unfortunately neither of these happened.
I tried opening the forms from the sample programs in design view but this causes SharpDevelop to display an exception regarding Serialisation / Deserialisation, this particular part I think may be a SharpDevelop and I'll also raise a bug report there:
Failed to load designer. Check the source code for syntax errors and check if all references are available.
ICSharpCode.FormsDesigner.FormsDesignerLoadException: System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomSerializerException: Could not find type '?'. Please make sure that the assembly that contains this type is referenced.
