Can't delete controls.

[sodakotahusker]

I have created my first .net project and have added a bunch of controls to the form just to check out how they work. Now I am trying to delete them and I am finding the delete option (along with all other options except View Code) is disabled and the delete button does not do anything either. I added another form and was able to add and delete from that form fine. I figure I must have inadvertently set a property or something which is blocking me from deletions. I checked the locked property on the form and it is set to false. The lock controls menu option is totally disabled. What is up with this??

Odd. Can you upload that project here?

Also, try deleting the code generated for it in the .VB class.

Wierd. I closed the project. Opened it back up again and it works fine now. I should have tried that sooner. Sorry to have bugged you. I thought I had run across some new feature in .Net which I needed to understand!

That's OK. I had stopped all my work, causing my company thousands of dollars in losses. But it's alright. We'll recover.

Why not? Your boss said you've done it many times before

I've noticed the same problem with the copy/cut/paste functions ... it usualy happens right after I've selected a bunch of controls and copy them and then paste them. I've chalked it up as a quirk.
