Hi
I have built a form "frmBase" and within that form I have placed a TableLayOutPanel ("tableLayOutPanel1") ,and within the ("tableLayOutPanel1") I placed a panel control ("panel1").

The modifier panel1 and tabelLayoutpanel1 are set protrected.When I add another form to the program the new form I inherit from frmBase,as shown in the code below;
CODE

public class frmInherite : frmBase

{



                             public frmInherite()

                             {

                                InitializeConponents();

                             }

}




I can access tableLayoutPanel1 and panel1 which is placed above it by using the code below;



//th.panel1



But in design time I can’t drag any control from toolbox window to panel1 blink.gif

All the controls in frmBase are probably private, which is the default. For an inherited form, this means they're locked. It also means the inherited form essentially can't see them. Make sure all the controls are declared "protected" rather than "private" and see how it goes. The controls are declared either in a region in frmBase.cs or in frmBase.Designer.cs.

Hope this helps.

Note: It's protected, not protrected.

I have tested your problem, I created two form, Form1 with a panel and Form2 that inherit from Form1. Then I built solution to creat DLL.
So, because the Panel in Form1 is private by default, in Form2, it is Locked and You cant drag any Item on it.
Then I opened file Form1.designer.cs, and changed property of Form1 from private to protected.
But that changing is not effect util you built solution. After I pressed Ctrl+Shift+B and re-opened Form2, I can drag control on Panel.
So, may be you had not built solution after change property of the Panel.
Hope this post is helpful for u.

Regarding panel it works but not in TabelLayoutpanel ,and the reason is that tabelLayout does not support (work with) visual Inheritance,what can be done for the tabelLayout issue?
