Any C# guru (perhaps just an experienced vb.net developer) interested in helping to get this really cool Outlook Sidebar Control to work in vb.net?

May be an easy fix! ???

Hi all,

Thanks for the time you're spending to read this post.

I'm a novice in vb.net 2005 Express.

With No experience in c# Express.

I've attempted to get this really cool and simple Outlook Sidebar Control to work in vb.net
but can't get it to save certain properties properly:

Enabled, Image, Tag, and Text
ie.
'Enabled' is already declared as 'Private Dim enabled As Boolean' in this class.
' Image' is already declared as 'Protected Dim image As System.Drawing.Image' in this class.
etc.

I'm hoping its just a quick fix in C# for a C# guru to get the control to work properly in vb.net.

For a vb.net guru (perhaps just an experience vb.net developer):
I've also already converted the code to vb.net (I think).
But, again, being a novice I'm out of my depth.

The attached code is as far as I got.
The attached error list is where I start to go under.

Again I'm using vb.net 2005 Express.
Which I'm finding very flaky.
Especially when moving documents around to different folders in the Project Explorer.
And when changing data types for fields in SQL Server 2005 Express.
Not only does it fail but saves the code in a manner that can't recover some documents.
Regretably vb.net 2005 Express does NOT come with Source Safe which I miss very much.
So I have to backup the project and data very often.
And have to recover just as often.

Perhaps vb.net 2005 would give a different result.

I've also downloaded and installed the Create New Project type -
"Windows Control Library"
that was missing in vb.net 2005 Express.
The errors are the same.

I hope this is enough info to peak someone's interest
and not too much to chase others off.

If anyone is interested and needs more info just let me know.
Of if anyone can tell me its not even close or not worth it,
I'm happy to drop the vb.net conversion.

Any help or any positive constructive suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.
