PVC Windows Designer Full 59

Use the Windows Configuration Designer tool to create provisioning packages to easily configure devices running Windows client. Windows Configuration Designer is primarily used by IT departments for business and educational institutions who need to provision bring-your-own-device (BYOD) and business-supplied devices.
Windows Configuration Designer can create provisioning packages for Windows client desktop, including Windows IoT Core, Microsoft Surface Hub, and Microsoft HoloLens. You can run Windows Configuration Designer on the following operating systems:
When running Windows Configuration Designer on Windows releases earlier than Windows 10, version 2004 you might need to enable TLS 1.2, especially if using Bulk Enrollment Tokens. You may see the error message in the icd.log file: Error: AADSTS1002016: You are using TLS version 1.0, 1.1 and/or 3DES cipher which are deprecated to improve the security posture of Azure AD For more information, see Enable TLS 1.2 on client or server operating systems.
Windows Configuration Designer doesn't work properly when the Group Policy setting Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Security Zones: Use only machine settings is enabled. When this policy is set, each step will display oversized buttons that fill the Windows Configuration Designer window. Additionally, the various options and descriptions that are normally to the right of the buttons won't be displayed because the buttons take up all of the space in the Windows Configuration Designer window. To resolve the problem, run Windows Configuration Designer on a device that doesn't have this policy enabled.
The Windows Configuration Designer UI doesn't support multivariant configurations. Instead, you must use the Windows Configuration Designer command-line interface to configure multivariant settings. For more information, see Create a provisioning package with multivariant settings.
To enable the simplified authoring jscripts to work on a server SKU running Windows Configuration Designer, you must enable Allow websites to prompt for information using scripted windows:
For example, when you add a driver to a provisioned package, you must copy the .INF file to a local directory on the PC that's running Windows Configuration Designer. If you don't copy the .INF file, and use a copied version of this project on a different PC, then Windows Configuration Designer might resolve the file paths to the original PC.
Recommended: Before starting, copy all source files to the PC running Windows Configuration Designer. Don't use external sources, like network shares or removable drives. Using local files reduces the risk of interrupting the build process from a network issue, or from disconnecting the USB device.
As an example, I have a form with a SplitContainer containing an Infragistics UltraListView to the left, and an UltraTabControl to the right. I added a new tab, and controls within, and they worked fine. I later on found out that the list view's scrollbar was suddenly invisible, due to its size being off, and at least one control was removed from a different tab that I hadn't been working on.
Is this a known issue with the WinForms Designer, or with Infragistics? I use version control, of course, so I can compare the changes and merge the deleted code back in, but it's a tedious process that shouldn't be necessary. Are there ways to avoid this? Is there a good reason for this to occur?
One clue is that the control that was removed may have code (such as a Load event handler) that expects to be run in run time, not design time, and may be throwing an exception. Could this cause Visual Studio to remove the control?
If you can reproduce the problem, then you can determine whether or not the cause is an exception. Start a second instance of Visual Studio and use "Tools->Attach to Process" to attach to the first one. Then proceed to reproduce the problem, and the code should break when the unhandled exception is thrown. Information about other exceptions (possibly handled) will be visible in the Output window.
A)See @Daniel Dolz's answer. I wholeheartedly recommend you ALWAYS do what he's recommending except when you avoid putting non-UI code (or any code) in Form_Load altogether. This actually solves a lot of problems, but especially those exceptions popping up in designers and slow designer performance.
OK, sometimes you have to, but it's not someplace to do regular development. Third-party controls will have bugs that require you to do so, but it should be an exceedingly rare day when you're making a direct change in the designer file. One way to help manage this is that if you don't want the designer automatically adjusting something, copy it over to your regular .cs file. That doesn't cover everything, but keep it in mind.
C) Also, do you know you can Lock the layout via the IDE to prevent stray mouse clicks from goofing everything up on you? This will preempt some of these "automatic updates" you're running into.
Parting Shot I worked on a large Windows Forms project for more than two years immediately prior to my current project, and all I can say is until we put an end to people editing the designers except for very minor edits and required them to put in the DesignMode checks, we had nothing but problems. Coming off of web projects, we have a hard time with this idea because we're so used to editing markup, but the designer.cs isn't the same as markup.
I've found the DesignMode property sometimes produces an unexpected result (Daniel's answer). Below is a property I have on my base control class (most controls I created inherit from this), the comments should indicate the 'reason' for what looks like hacky code, but essentially this is much more reliable than DesignMode on its own.
@Sifu no, there is no way to disable the new designer permanently. When you create a new flow just switch immediately to the classic designer. I think many of us are doing this. Certainly I prefer the classic designer which I've worked with happily for over 5 years. Unfortunately, in the long term I suspect it's more likely that Microsoft will turn off the classic designer, but I hope not.

I open a board (.brd) file and my "Find" "Options" and "Visibility" windows display. I open a component footprint (.dra) file and my "Find" "Options" and "Visibility" windows are no where to be found. In my .dra file I do a View>Windows and it shows the "Find" "Options" "Visibility" are all checked but I cannot retrieve/see them anywhere in my two monitors. How do I get them back?

Last year we open sourced WinForms and brought it to .NET Core. Now it is available in .NET 5 preview and reviewing new features (like Task Dialog) and lots of PRs from the ole source community. You can check out the repo and the roadmap here:
Thank you for your hard work!!
If you can provide a few examples of creating and running WinForm/WPF programs, or if a link exists, please leave me a comment.I will study hard.We are currently using a third-party Devexpress vendor and are considering cross-platform support.
Thanks again.
Basically the reason is to bring the benefits that .NET Core has to the broader Windows Forms community which has a lot of developers, specially in developing countries. Besides that, Microsoft already open sourced Windows Forms and WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation) libraries.
Windows Forms still has lots of users and with supporting it in .NET Core and .NET 5 we are making sure those users can benefit from from all the performance improvements and new features. This platform is fully supported and will receive all the updates in the future.
Windows Forms + .NET Core allows you to ship your UI framework with your application, independently of the version of the framework installed with Windows. This puts it in line with Qt, Swing, and most other GUI frameworks.
The independence helps avoid problems like this one, whereby upgrading a system from .NET 4.0 to 4.5 introduced problems with almost any app that uses a menu MenuStrip, due to bugs in 4.5. Some hard lessons were learned by the team in that 4.5-4.6 time period and Microsoft had to start building .NET Framework in such a way that any new behaviours (including bug fixes!) would need to be opted into on a per-application basis. But that has proven to have its limits, too, because third-party libraries have to understand all the potential variances in behaviour, too.
