Question

I am new to Visual Studio and I am just messing around with the controls to see how things work. I made one form that had a single button that, when pushed, simply printed “Hello World” to the screen. To try something more complicated I deleted that button and added various other tools to the Form. However the code in the Form.cs file was not updated to reflect these changes to the design and I can find no way to update it manually.

Any advice is appreciated.

Regards.

Answer 1

If your Button had an OnClick event, it will NOT be erased when the Button is erased. Visual Studio assumes that this code may be used somewhere else and is not data-destructive.

Every time you delete a control that you had events, they will remain. You must manually go through and clean up your code.

EDIT:

To make the “new code” appear for the newer controls, you must either double click the button to generate the default event for that control, or go into the Properties of that control and generate the code for the events there.
