Sir

1.installed visual visual studio 2005 in c: folder

2.exact the source file from paint.net

3. redistributed the dotnetfx.exe in F:/src/dotnet_2.0/x86

4. redistributed the netfx.exein F:/src/dotnet_2.0/x64

5.placed the mt.exe file in C:\WINNT\system32\mt.exe

6.installed Tablet PC SDK v1.7

7.opened the src/paintdotnet.sln with express edition

8.When i try to open the form shows this kind of ERRORs

The designer could not be shown for this file because none of the classes within

it can be designed. The designer inspected the following classes in the file: AboutDialog

--- The base class 'PaintDotNet.PdnBaseForm' could not be loaded. Ensure the assembly has

been referenced and that all projects have been built.

at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomDesignerLoader.EnsureDocument(IDesignerSerializationManager manager)

at System.ComponentModel.Design.Serialization.CodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager manager)

at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.PerformLoad(IDesignerSerializationManager serializationManager)

at Microsoft.VisualStudio.Design.Serialization.CodeDom.VSCodeDomDesignerLoader.DeferredLoadHandler.Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextManager.Interop.IVsTextBufferDataEvents.OnLoadCompleted(Int32 fReload)

So please give me a solution on the above

What are you even trying to do with the Paint.NET source code ... ?

7.opened the src/paintdotnet.sln with express edition

That may be your problem. I don't believe the source code is compatible with the express edition of VS.

Because of our resource manager, the forms usually don't load up in Visual Studio at all. It throws a fit. But that's fine, we usually just edit the code manually.

This has been covered in some other forum thread, I forget when though.
