Hi,

When I try to open a new project in VB, I can see 3 templates:

WebGUI Control Library

Visual WebGui Application

Visual WebGui Client(Alpha)

I then selected "Visual WebGUi Application" for my experiment.

I can also see WebGui controls under Toolbox. But, when I dragged the controls over to the form, the mouse cursor became the forbidden icon (i.e. the round circle with a cross line inside the circle ) In other words, I am unable to put any controls to the form.

Under VisualWebGuiApplication1, I can see My Project, Properties, Form1.vb, Readme.txt and Web.config. Thanks.

Regards,

Jerry

Hi Jerry,

"With sources", as the name implies, is an installation package that include the public sources of the framework, which you can use to take a look at how we do things. To use this type of installation, you have to add a few references to your project.

Knowing next to nothing about your environment, let's start with some basic questions that may help you and will also give me more information on your exact environment:

1) What version and type of Visual Studio are you using (for instance VS2010 Professional).

2) Did you install Visual Web Developer as a part of your Visual Studio installation (you can verify by loading Visual Studio and then go to Help / About and see if you spot Visual Web Developer listed in the Installed Products).

3) What is the exact name of the Visual WebGui .MSI file you are installing?

4) Did you install that file "As Administrator" (login in with administrative privileges is not enough, you may have to "Run as Admin") ?

5) Did you get any warnings when installing (usually seen just before the install starts, as yellow exclamation marks) ?

6) Did you activate your trial, or did you purchase a license and activate it  (if using Visual Studio Express, this is not necessary) ?

7) What Gizmox assemblies are referenced in your project ?

Hi Jerry,

Where did you send this information to me, the info you sent on friday ? I didn't see any email, neither my personal email nor in the support mailbox.

3), 4), 5), 6) Please go to Control Panel / Programs and look for Visual WebGui in the installed programs and quote the exact Name here.

Let's for now assume that you have a "With sources" type of installation. Please start by following the instructions in this article here and add references to all the Gizmox assemblies listed there in the Extra references section. After you have added these references, build your application, then exit Visual Studio, open it again and try opening your form in designer.
