Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You are developing an application in Visual Studio 2010.
-
You design a class library (.dll) project in Visual Basic that defines a base form.
-
The form contains one or more members whose modifiers are set to Protected or Protected Friend access. This access lets the members be overridden in derived types.
-
The members are declared by using the WithEvents keyword in Visual Basic. This is the default behavior in Visual Basic.
-
You create a derived form in a C# project that inherits from the base form defined in the Visual Basic project.
-
You change the member with Protected or Protected Friend access to override one of its properties, such as Size.
-
You save and close the inherited form, and then you reopen the form.
In this scenario, you receive the following warning:
The method or operation is not implemented.

To work around this problem, use one of the following methods:
-
Set the Modifiers property of the control members to public.
-
Remove the WithEvents keyword in the base form class, and instead use the AddHandler statement to control event wiring.
