Question

I don’t do much WinFom development so I am not too familiar with the MenuStrip control. I have added a menu strip to my form and added (1) item to it. All of this was done using the designer.

So I have Utilities -> Download Utility. When I double click on ‘Download’ in the designer an event handler is created for me.

    private void downloadUtilityToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {

             MessageBox.Show("Ding!");

        }

UPDATE:

I noticed that the IntializeComponent() in the constructor of my form never seems to be run. I have placed a breakpoint in the constructor and it never hits. I refactored this form to change the name from the default (form1) to ‘main’. I assume this is the problem but I don’t see why. All of the form1 references seemed to have been updated. I did this with the IDE.

When I debug this application I can never seem to get this event to fire. What am I missing here?

I got it working. Apparently when debugging the project it wasn’t rebuilding. After refactoring the name of my form it was necessary to ‘Rebuild’ the solution. Now all over my events work as they should. Thanks for the help.
