Visual Studio .NET: Iocomp property editors are causing errors, crashing, or are are causing problems!


The Visual Studio .NET IDE allows you to edit our components as if they we're actually running in your application.  This is accomplished by right-clicking on our component in the .NET studio's visual designer and selecting "Edit Component".  You should not do this in the Plot components as you may mistake our run-time property editor for our design-time property editor.  Only the design-time property editor should be used to make changes to the component that will be stored in your form.

INCORRECT WAY
Incorrect Method to Open Design-Time Property Editor by using the "Edit Control" popup-menu item.

You should not try to open our Custom Property Editor this way.  The "Edit Control" menu item attempts to trick the control into thinking it is at run-time.

CORRECT WAY
Correct  Method to Open Design-Time Property Editor by using VS.Net Property Page Toolbar "Property Pages" button.

Select the "Property Pages" button in the Visual Studio's Properties Page Toolbar.  This button will bring-up Iocomp's Custom Design-Time Property Editor, which is organized and customized for editing our controls, along with displaying version information, and providing access to the Themes Features.
