visual inheritance is currently disabled in my PocketPC project

Question

I have a pocketPC project in c# (visual studio 2005) I want to make base form and child form from the base form when I do that I see this: "visual inheritance is currently disabled because the base class references a device-specific component or contains p/Invoke"

Answer 1

Had the same problem. Go to your base form (which is inherited) and view a class diagram. Select the base form class shape and go to properties window, click on CustomAttributes, a window comes up, just add this line in it:

DesktopCompatible(true)

and rebuild application, it should display forms fine in designer
