Hi,
I am trying to edit a form in a migrated app using vs 2022. When I copy a field, paste it and go to edit the properties I get an error - 'Method not found: 'EndDTE.Solution EnvDTE._DTE.get_Solution()'.

Is there an easy way to fix this?

cheers
Rich

Hi Rich,

I've investigated the issue and I was able to copy a control and edit it's properties without any issue.

I only got the Method not found error when I right clicked and tried to select "goto data".
Unfortunately visual studio 2012 are not backward compatible to the way used by the "goto data" command to navigate to the member in the class that worked for all previous versions.

We'll add support for that to the wish list

Thanks Noam,
it was when I was selecting the data field.

Cheers

I've just fixed the "Goto data" to work in vs2022.

In the Firefly.box project add a reference to ENVDTE80 from .NET Framework.
In the file "ControlDesignerHelper" in the class "copyDataPathFinder" make the following change:

I've tested this both in 2022 and 2019

Hi everyone,

We tried to use the "Goto data" and we are still receiving the following error:

We added the reference and made the change to the copyDataPathFinder-class.
Is there another change we have to do?

Thank you and kind regards,

Hi VKF Developer

Did you manage to solve this issue?

I have the same issue with my VS2022.

Unfortunately it seems that vs2022 no longer allows that. So the goto code menu entry in the designer won’t work
