.NET newbie alert
Using Visual C# 2008 Express Edition I have accidentally created a click event for a button. I then deleted the automatically-created method code, which resulted in an error saying that the function, which had now been referenced in the form loading code, could no longer be found.
Deleting the following line from the Form1.Designer.cs
file's InitializeComponent()
function...
this.btnCopy.Click += new System.EventHandler(this.btnCopy_Click);
... seems to do the trick, however, it makes me feel very dirty because of the following warning at the beginning of the #region:
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
I haven't been able to find a way to do this using the form designer, which I assume is the means implied by this warning. What is the correct way to do this?
You do have to be careful when working in the designer.cs files but you don't have to feel dirty about it (when I make the same mistake it is just easier to fix it the designer.cs file). You can do it visually like this:
Okay, I am usually the one advocating the use of notepad2 or some other text editor to perform coding tasks.
But, since you ask how to do so in the Designer...
The only caveat being: if you wish to preserve your event handler method (i.e. it is not auto-generated by Visual Studio) - you probably want to avoid deleting the assignment in this manner. Because when I say that it removes the event handler - I should say that the declaration of the event handler method in "Form1.cs" (for example) will be deleted as well.
