VB Crashes
« on: November 05, 2013, 02:40:43 AM »
I have installed VB 2010. Started up VB and did everything that QuickStart stated. When I go to tool bar and grab a componet and drag to mainForm I get a message stating as follows:
Failed to create componet
System. NullReference Execption:
Object reference not set to an instance of an Object.
VB bombs out and restarts. This happens with every object in AdvanceHMI Toolbox.

Help Please
Gene

I was able to replicate this by starting with a new project and adding a visual control first. If I add the driver first, then a visual control second, it does not happen.

This seems to be related to Visual Studio 2010. I tried the same sequence in VS 2013 and it works fine.

Thanks Again
