>Then, in a Robot form, in the framework, I have 10 controls. They are all bound on those controls. I have done numerous compilations since then and never had any problem. However, as soon as I went today in the Robot form and adjusted a property of a control, I started to get a bunch of errors which corresponds to the number of controls I have. The reason is before I moved the Robot form at the framework level, all controls were referenced as Framework.LXTabControl, Framework.LXButton and so on. Now, as they are at the framework level, this Framework reference has to be dropped from the control reference. Because, as soon as I change something, the design detects that and complains. So, I can go in the code and change the control instantiation lines to remove the "Framework." reference to this:

>            Me.TabControl1 = New LXTabControl

>            Me.GroupBox2 = New LXGroupBox
>            Me.Status = New LXTextBox
>            Me.LxPictureBox1 = New LXPictureBox
>            Me.Button3 = New LXButton
>            Me.Button2 = New LXButton
>            Me.PictureBox2 = New LXPictureBox

>This allows me to compile. But, as soon as I go back at the form and change another property, the "Framework." gets added in front of all those controls.

>I see that this seems to come that from the designer property window, I can see that all those controls are still referenced as Framework.LXTabControl, Framework.LXTabPage and so on. I am not able to find a way to adjust that. How can this be adjusted?

Only read this quickly but wouldn't specifically specifying the namespace in the above code solve the problem.....
