Infragistics license file add itself to project?

Question

I have a solution in VB.NET .NET 2

Use Infragistics components all over the application.

One day decided to add floating toolbar support to our Forms.

Our forms inherit one base form - BaseForm. This base form is used in multiple projects in the solution.

So, on the BaseForm was added a UltraToolbarsManager.

Since, a nightmare began: the licenses.licx started to create and add itself to the project on every form opened in designer....

licenses.licx contains:

Infragistics.Win.UltraWinToolbars.UltraToolbarsManager, Infragistics2.Win.UltraWinToolbars.v6.3, Version=6.3.20063.53, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7dd5c3163f2cd0cb

What to do? Why does this license file appear in the inherited forms?

Answer 1

The license file only gets created when you add a control to the form. It won't do anything if you open a form with existing Infragistics controls.

If you delete all the lines in the license.licx file after adding the control everything should work.

Our environment has a checked in license.licx file that is empty and we make source control ignore the license file so any changes on a developer machine won't make it into the build machine or anywhere elsewhere.
