Hi, my problem is I want to make a new dll or library such that I will be using the PowerPack - RectangleShape as my control since I want it to be my background as a page layout for my customize report designer that I am making.

Here is the code after I have created a new project of Class Library and referencing the powerpacks vs :


Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks

Public Class Class1
Inherits RectangleShape

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

End Sub

End Class

if it is only a textbox, it does not produce an error, but whenever I change it to rectangleshape, it already produces an error even before I build it. I know I should try to create first a shapecontainer, but even I declare and instantiate within the class a new shapecontainer, it still does not work.

Please help me.

Hi,

What is the error you are getting?
