    <p>I have a base form in another project that enforces the same look &amp; feel to all our WinForms programs. I inherited from that BaseForm, to create my own template, BaseView. This template of mine has additional controls like a ProgressBar, a Timer and a TableLayoutPanel.</p> <p>I now want to inherit from my BaseView and use the Designer to add my program-specific controls, however I cannot drop anything like Panels or any other Controls into it. I have tried some suggestions, like making sure the base form's components are public, but to no avail - most of the TLP's properties are still grayed out.</p> <p>Could someone perhaps give me any suggestions? Many Thanks!</p> <hr> <pre><code>partial class BaseView { /// &lt;summary&gt; /// Required designer variable. /// &lt;/summary&gt; private System.ComponentModel.IContainer components = null; /// &lt;summary&gt;

    1. COIs your base class marked `sealed` by any chance? Are some controls `readonly`?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
