VS2005 SP1 Infragistics NetAdvantage VB.Net

I am using VS2005 SP1 with Infragistics NetAdvantage controls. I am working with an already existing program, forms, etc and am getting

Type 'Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraDateTimeEditor' is not defined.

This is the only remaining error. I got rid of many errors when I installed the Infragistics development software. More errors were eradicated by installing SP1.

I put in a reference to the UltraWinEditors dll and then get the same number of errors (18) which tell me that I need to add more controls to my project.

How do I get rid of this?

This exact same error happens 18 times. Here are two lines that are back-to-back.

Me.fromDate = New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraDateTimeEditor
Me.toDate = New Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraDateTimeEditor

I can't load these forms in the designer, although all of the other forms appear fine. I get the error message

The designer cannot process the code at line 292: Me.dtDateEnteredLawEnforcement.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(506, 183) The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.

I have a feeling that these two are related. Taking care of the first should clear up the second.

Can you try commenting Me.dtDateEnteredLawEnforcement.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(506, 183) ??

Sure, but then I lose the control that is on the form. I am working behind another programmer and trying to get an understanding of how this program is constructed. Commenting out the errors is not really an option.

The reason i asked you to comment is because you got this message
>> The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified

You would not lose the control but just its location. Try going t the designer for that control and set the co-ordinates. my guess is tat someone has tampered with the autogenerated designer code

Okay. Commenting out a few lines works and decreases the error count (by one) until I hit lines such as those below

Friend WithEvents fromDate As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraDateTimeEditor
Friend WithEvents toDate As Infragistics.Win.UltraWinEditors.UltraDateTimeEditor

and then the error count jumps by 20 or more for each one of those commented out. I have a feeling that all-knowing MS thinks that it has been tampered with because it can't find the UltraDateTimeEditor control. If I try to view the designer and add the control I get the message that it has been tinkered with. I am baffled and it is looking like there is no help out there for this one.

Your suggestion, although not 100% dead-on, made me think about trying the previous version that I have. It came up with 30 warnings but ran beautifully. Closing this one out. Keep an eye out for more NET beginner questions!!!
