visual basic 6, trying to rebuild non-working project

Question

We are NOT in the best situation! We have been given the 'latest' project files, and they don't compile. So we are trying to reconstruct the solution and restore it to a working state. We copied all the modules and forms into one project and yet when we compile it is not picking up all the form events, such as Form_Activate. The events are there, spelled correctly, but are not being picked up. If you do a '.' with intellisense the events are not listed either...

Why is this? Is there a way to get visual basic 6 to reload the form in order to pick up the events, etc?

Thanks, R.

Answer 1

First of all, there is no Visual Studio 2006. Second what are the errors you get when you try to compiler?

Answer 2

You are probably having a scope problem. Does the events have any accessibility modifiers such as Public or Private?

Answer 3

Check to be sure you have both the event handler ...

private void Form1_Activated( object sender, EventArgs e )
{
  // Your code here
}

... and the wire-up usually found in the FormName.Designer.cs file ...

this.Activated += new System.EventHandler( this.Form1_Activated );

If you have moved the event handlers over, but not the event registrations, your event handlers will not get called.
